Concerts you went to to only see the opening act.

Has anyone just gone to see an opening act?
Feb 2011 I went to One Eyed Jacks to see The Head and the Heart open for The Walkmen, but didn't stay for The Walkmen (I know I know...judge away). They took forever to come on, and I really only wanted to see TH&TH.
Anyone else do this?

several times
most recently - Lucero opening for Shooter Jennings
Dave Matthews opening for Blues Traveler
Guns and Roses opening for INXS
the last two obviously a long time ago. And I remember both headlining bands being very good even though I didn't go to see them. Shooter sucked though.

Went to the Saenger to see Guster open for John Mayer. Left afterwards.
John Mayer's okay, but Guster is one of my favorite bands and I needed to drive back to BR because I had class the next morning.

The Cult open for Metallica in '89. I only went to see The Cult. We had were going leave after teh Cult set and race over town and see a local band play.Ian was so drunk he couldn't finish some songs. We all got pissed and stayed to see Metallic.....They blew the Cult away. Metallica was just awesome.
a few months later the Cult went on a headline tour and redeemed themselves

Music as a Weapon Tour in 08 or 09. Disturbed was headlining and I went only for Killswitch Engage.
On a related note, holy shite, Disturbed sucks.

Ramones before Tom Tom Club 1990
Slayer before Slipknot 2000
I can't remember if these tours technically had "opening acts" or if they switched off from date to date. At any rate I left before the headliner both times. After Slayer played hordes of people chanted "SLIPKNOT SUCKS" as they made their way to the door.

Same but I also wanted to see Chimaira again.
I was equally excited to see Meshuggah open for Tool in 2002. It was my first time seeing both bands. They were equally good.

Actually saw Queen open for Mott the Hoople in 1974-75. Really went to see Mott, but Queen was damn good.

I went to see Goodie Mob because B.o.B was opening up for them. But then once I saw that Cee Lo was no more than 9 inches tall, I was all-in. How could that voice be coming out of a man that tiny? It was crazy to see. Dude is seriously small.

I let some friends drag me to see Boston headline at the Cow Palace in San Francisco in 1977. The opening act was some crap band called Starcastle. The act I went to see was Nils Lofgren. My friends agreed that he stole the show.
Boston fricked up the intro to More Than a Feeling, stopped and restarted the song. When they came out for the obligatory encore guess what song they played? Yep, More Than a Feeling.
