'they blew'em off the stage'

the foo fighters opening for the police dodger stadium 2007.
i don't know what the police was thinking. they sounded
terrible.

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?

Holy poop... I wanna see Mahavishnu in 71!!!
Judas Priest drained the crowd, (77') before Mahogany Rush hit the stage, Frank Marino was visibly bummed and did no encore. On July 25th 1976 Portland Oregon, Gentle Giant blew the doors off the headliner, (just put out too much energy and precision for Yes to match).

Not saying they blew him off the stage, but I saw the Feelies open for Lou Reed and they were so good I copped seats at the next show a couple days later and drove a hundred miles to catch it again. Just to see them.
