Best Opening Act of a concert you attended.

Not an opening act, but when I saw Black Flag at the Blue Note in CoMo in 1986, they did not have an opener but instead played their own albums over the PA for 45 minutes before coming out and then performing those same songs. I thought was so fucking punk!

 

Blue Note downtown or on the business loop?

 

Original!
I can not remember walking back to Gillett Hall drunk off my 19-year-old ass many a night, particularly after Cities in Dust meant the Dance Party was over...

 

That would be a long walk — a lot longer than the walk from T. Bakers to Hatch Hall.

 

I've posted before about seeing Muddy Waters open twice for Clapton on the same tour and not remembering either show.

It was the 70s, back off.

Anyway, I feels better about one show after finding this link. Asshole Eric married Patti Boyd the day before the Tucson show and the review said the show stunk:

March 27: Today in Arizona history

He arrived two hours after she did?

At 2 p.m., Clapton appears at the Pima County Courts building to sign a certificate of marriage. His betrothed, Pattie Boyd — the former wife of Beatle guitarist George Harrison, had arrived two hours earlier to do the same. (By the way, Clapton wrote "Layla" and "Wonderful Tonight" about Boyd.)

And then he covered himself with even more glory:

There was a hitch, however, when Clapton left the marriage license office without paying the required $8 fee. Superior Court Clerk Jim Corbett chased him out onto the building's steps, where Clapton tried to pay the fee in British pounds to no avail. Luckily, he scrapped enough American money together to settle the bill and the wedding was on.

 

You'll enjoy this if you haven't seen it.
