'they blew'em off the stage'

Aug, 1970 saw the orginal Allman Brothers Band open for Canned Heat. The crowd literally wouldn't let the Allman Brothers leave the stage and they ended up doing three encores. By the time Canned Heat hit the stage, they did about 3 or 4 songs before calling it quits. Of course, by that time about half the audiences had already left.

Philo,

Probably my mistake - I'd guess that the years have fused the memories of 2 different shows into 1. Definitely not a good sign.

Funny part is, every time I see The Who (about once a decade) I like the show more than the previous one. A few years back they played the Hollywood Bowl and tore it up,

If the Pontiac show you saw was on a freezing cold day, I'd say I'm the guilty party here.

AC/DC in one of their first U.S. performances made Savoy Brown look like a garage band. Savoy Brown was booed off the stage after their 2nd song.

Jerry Garcia Band opened for Bobby and the Midnights, So. Fallsburg, NY, 1982. Rained hard on Bob, everybody went home, except for some guy with a bottle of Jack who kept screaming "Ain't it good to be alive!" at the top of his lungs.

More obscurely, the smokin' hot cowpunk band Speedball opening for a lamentable Toad the Wet Sproket, Ann Arbor, early nineties. Anyone remember Speedball?
