Japan supporting Blue Öyster Cult, Free Trade Hall 1978.
OK they went down like a lead balloon for most there, but opened my ears and eyes
Van Halen with Black Sabbath also gets another vote.
Dan Reed Network supporting Bon Jovi around 89 too.
Only went for DRN.

Liverpool Stadium. Not that shithole but an old boxing stadium that held gigs

Loved Japan and DRN. Saw DRN supporting The Stones at Maine Road. That debut album was brilliant. Jagger was never afraid of picking the hottest bands around to support them: ZZ Top, Van Halen, G n R.
Sadly, for DRN, grunge was just around the corner.

Pretty sure that was my first gig. Creep was the stand out track of whole night.

This was the standard setlist for the following night...

I still can't believe Dan played in our home for my wife's 50th birthday :-)

Yeah, I saw them at the Manchester Apollo. I love Sabbath but VH were the best proper support act (as opposed to special guests etc) that I ever saw. Mind you, best gig I ever saw was VH headlining t Madison Sq Garden in 1981.

The other time I saw a headliner blown away by the support act was also at the Apollo and it was Nils Lofgren being supported by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers.
TP&TH became one of the world’s great live bands.
Nils did join one of the greatest live bands and his guitar solo spot in “Because The Night” is just one of the most spine tingling things you can see at a gig.
