In Reply to: Live Shows - great double bills you've seen posted by PdL on January 20, 2005 at 05:50:33:
More often than not it's been the opposite experience for me: you go see a great headliner & the opening act SUCKS! Eg.,- 1974 Frank Zappa & The Mothers; opening act was Elvin Bishop (!?!?) and fortunately he got booed off the stage after 20 minutes of inappropriate boogie. He sucked.
- 1975 Renaissance; opening act was Al Stewart & I only wish he'd been booed off the stage. He sucked.
- 1990 The Rolling Stones (or whenever the Steel Wheels tour was); opening act was Living Color, & while they *should* have been a killer band (& on record they were, IMHO) they were just too inexperienced to know how to work a 50,000 seat stadium. They sucked.
- 2000 Yes (Masterworks Tour); opening act was Kansas. Despite what prog critics might suppose, these are not two peas in a pod; more like Night & Day. They sucked.
In fact, the only good double bill I can remember was in 2003, when John Paul Jones opened up for King Crimson.
So normally I avoid double bills like the proverbial plague.
