Before They Were Famous

What artists did you see on the way up, before superstardom?
Anyone lucky enough to see the Beatles in Germany? If so, the thread should stop there. Until then, I have two. Aerosmith played at my high school Junior Prom, Stepinac High School in White Plains, N.Y., and I was lucky enough to see John Belushi do Joe Cocker in "Lemmings" at the Village Gate in N.Y.C. around 1970, just before SNL.

I saw REM open for Oingo Boingo a hundred years ago in Birmingham,AL. Neither were "famous". REM was booed off of the stage!!!!!! I never did like them...

oh yeah, I saw Jimi Hendrix open for The Monkeys in Charlotte NC. He threw down his guitar, said "f*%# you, Charlotte" and walked off the stage.

Angela100, don't blame Hendrix for this behavior, he had a monkey on his back.

Albertporter, Oh no I don't. I cheered him! I was there to see him! My best friend cousin was older and a hippie and turned us to on to music that was ahead of our age (I was 11).
