Support band you saw that blew away the headliner

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

A headliners nightmare…..

I saw Aztec Camera in 1983 supporting Elvis Costello. Now Costello was very good, nothing wrong with his performance.
But Roddy Frame was the one everyone was talking about on the way out. He was like 19 or something at the time.

Prodigy at knebworth immediately springs to mind, blew oasis away

 

[Dogtanian]

Radiohead supporting James at G-Mex was amazing, think they'd just released Pablo Honey

 

[Bettys Bell]

Micheal McDonald supporting Tina Turner at Woburn . Tina was good he was another level .

Quite easily one of my top 5 best performers of all time.

The Doobie Brothers headlined a tour involving some other Warner Bros artists around 1975 and were blown away by Little Feat.

Never heard of them, but after a quick you tube search pretty decent stuff.

Always remember the NME Awards tour and Arctic Monkeys were on before Maximo Park. Place just emptied out after the Monkeys played.
