Slumpbuster made a comment in his post on the Indie thread that I thought deserves it's own space. What are some of the Opening bands that you've seen that you enjoyed way more than the Headlining band.

A couple of fairly recent shows that I can think of off the top of my head...

The Zutons opened for Keane - The Zutons saved that night from being an otherwise very boring snoozefest.

Three Days Grace opened for Nickelback - 3DG had more energy and charisma that I ever expected them to. Chad Kreuger is a decent frontman, but 3DG brought a warmth to the stage that was very surprising for such a hard-edged band. Great stage presence and the music RAWKED. Nickelback were just pretentious.
