Support band you saw that blew away the headliner

Stereo MCs supporting the Happy Mondays at the Free Trade Hall (93,94?). The Stereos were so good (had just released Connected, I think) that the Mondays were like a caricature of themselves. We ended up leaving halfway through the Mondays’ performance

I was going to post Stereo MC's supporting the Happy Mondays at the Town and Country club, Kentish Town.
 
Went to see Ride at New Century Hall in September, the support was Junodream, probably one of the best support band that I have seen, I don't get in early enough to see many. I remember seeing the 1975 support All The Young at Academy 3 about 6 months before they broke into the mainstream.
 
I went to see David Essex at the Apollo in 1977, the supporting act were the Alessi Brothers who were great.

 
Sheffield uni, probably around 89. Headliner was the River City People (folky rock, pleasant enough, a bit forgettable). I'd never heard of the support band, they looked ridiculously young and the lead singer had a kind of freakish energy, never still for a second the whole gig - it was Blur
 
Used to go to a club back in the 80's in Essex which had bands playing in front of mostly punks and skins - support bands normally greeted by a few bottles to hurry them off stage. Was there one night and rather large scary female with purple hair came on before main band to loud abuse - within 5 minutes the place was enamoured with her voice - it was an unknown called Alison Moyet (Yazoo) - all you youngsters on here,give her a listen on Spotify.......
