Any pleasant surprises because of guest appearance


I enjoyed the recent thread "Live Performances gone awry" and thought I would ask about live experiences that were over the top because of guest appearances or even well known acts performing under different names. My experience dates back to 1980. A buddy and I went to the Moonshadow Saloon here in Atlanta for a few beers. There was a no named band playing called BHLT and no cover charge. BHLT turned out to be Dickey Betts, Jimmy Hall, Chuck Leavell,and Butch Trucks. They were playing Sea Level type jazz instrumentals and having a great time. I also saw Jeff Beck at the Exit/In in Nashville when he just walked in from off the street and played for about an hour in front of 15 or 20 people. I am sure you folks have similar stories.

Ok, this was a show a friend caught. After all these years I remember, must still be jealous. At a club in the Atlanta Underground, Big Brother and the Holding Co was playing and Frank Zappa walked in and proceeded to jam with them. Like to have been there.
I was at Boudreaux and Thibodeaux's and Fontenot walked in. The place went wild!!! (If you are from the Gulf Coast you'll get it.)
I was at Grateful Dead show and Stevie Winwood sat in the whole night. They covered "I'm a Man" and is still one of the most memorable songs I've ever heard live.
Going to the Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin to see Little Feat in the early 70's and having Linda Rondstadt sit in on the whole show.
What a great collection of shows! Albertporter, you must be quite the smooth guy. Thanks for the posts.
