Philojet, sorry for the late reply, just saw this thread again after a long time. Again I wasn't there, but from what I understand the Monkees teeny bopper fans nearly booed Hendrix off the stage.
Audiofeil, couldn't agree more re: Mott The Hoople, even their best songs were penned by others.

In the late 80's/early 90's, Fishbone played with tons of bands and blew them ALL off the stage. Incredible musicianship and ridiculous energy.

I was at a Chicago Symphony concert recently where the first piece, Samuel Barber's Adagio For Strings, completely upstaged the main event, Shostakovich's 5th Symphony.
