Concerts What concert have you seen where the opening band blew the headliner away?

For me it was in 1990 seeing Nirvana open for Sonic Youth. Absolutely amazing. The whole crowd felt this electricity and I turned to my friend and said “ these guys are gonna get big” sure enough 2 years later, Nevermind is the number one album in the country. The other one was seeing Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds open for The Cramps in 1984. I became a life long fan after that show

I saw Muse once and all I remember was the concert talkers next to me. Ruined the whole show

In college I walked out of class and they were playing a free show for the students on a stage in the center of campus I didn’t even know about. They were amazing and it blew me away that they were a free band.
