What's the oddest concert pairing you've ever seen? or even just heard of?

(Hey, what else is there to do?




I remember sometimes Memphis would have some odd pairs play the collesium:

I remember friends went to see Chicago back in '82 (?) and the warm up act was Rick Springfield (they swore he air-played his guitar)

Another story was Def Leppard's warm up act getting booed because of his over-the-top antics, flipping the crowd off, then playing two or three more songs and being fairly beligerant; it was John Cougar ( not quite Mellencamp yet).

Friends went to see .38 Special and one of my gal pals raved about how cute the warm up act was (Bon Jovi).

I think I remember Molly Hatchet warming up for J.Geils Band

Weird turn of events: __A guy I knew in the Navy who had preceded me by a few years saw Kansas on their east coast leg of an '81 or '82 concert, with 'special guest' Heart as their warm up act, about a month later, went to bootcamp, then some sort of fleet training for a couple of months, then NAS Memphis for electronics school for four or five months. Just before he and his buddies got out, they decided to have one last hoorah in Memphis so they went to a concert; Heart with 'special guests', Kansas. He said both shows were pretty good though.

Isn't there a website with old concert bills?
