In the late 90s I caught Incubus at the Varsity opening for 2 Skinee Js, if I remember correctly. Left as soon as Incubus was done.

Damn Yankees opening for Bad Company. Yanks were outstanding. Stayed for about half of Bad Company. They sounded fantastic. But didn't put much energy into the performance. They just stood there and played.

Went to Rolling Stones in '94 only to see Counting Crows open. I stayed for the Stones, but never really been a big fan.

I saw that tour when it stopped in Milwaukee. Some people in one of the first few rows had a big Damn Yankees banner. They kept holding it up and waving it after Bad Compnay came on. This pissed off Brian Howe who pointed at them after one of the first songs and yelled "WE'RE NOT THE DAMN FOOKING YONKEES!!!!!!!!!"

It was good but I saw The Cult with G-n-R opening at The Saenger back in '87. Still the best concert I've ever been to.

Stone Temple Pilots opening for The Butthole Surfers in 1993 - State Palace Theater

Went to see Pearl Jam that same year at UNO, was completely blown away by Urge Overkill

Just about every Lollapalooza I ever went to, I hardly stayed through the headlining at the end of the day.

I went to a Ted Nugent/ZZ Top concert and left after the Nuge. His performance was so energetic, ZZ Top seemed boring. I left after two ZZ Top songs.

Me and some friends went to see Queensryche open for AC/DC in '86 at UNO.
We liked AC/DC just were not that into them, and were all huge Queensryche fans.
