Support band you saw that blew away the headliner

I wasn't there but my friend's uncle was. His name was Norman Weiss and he was an executive with GAC who were a US talent agency.

He went to Paris to see headliner Trini Lopez, who was one of their artists. But the support band blew him away and he pestered everyone he could to get them over to the USA, which he eventually did.

The band was called The Beatles.
 
Went to see the Pretenders when I was at Keele university in about 1980 but the support act blew them away and had to be dragged off the stage. It was UB40.

The best of it was they were just having their first hit and used the students union to practice for their upcoming tour so you could go and have a burger and a pint and watch them practice.
 
Airborne, they were supporting a band called Black stone Cherry. It may have been just the volume Airborne played at and damaged some hearing a bit. but BSC seemed very very muted after.
 
Took my young daughter to see Pussycat Dolls who were predictably dreadful.
Support act was Lady Gaga, she was absolutely incredible.
 
The Breeders and Teenage Fan Club supported Nirvana in June 1992 at the King's Hall in Belfast.

Completely missed The Breeders but Teenage Fan Club were way way better than Nirvana.
 
Genesis (when they were good) supporting Lindisfarne (when they were err.... Lindisfarne) at Bristol in the early '70s
