My first exposure to Sheryl Crow was seing her open for the BoDeans in November, 1993 ("All I Wanna Do" was all over the radio the following summer.) She was really good, good enough that I bought Tuesday Night Music Club shortly thereafter even though I'd never heard of her. I still think that record is damned good. Kevin Gilbert fans may have a beef as to why... The BoDeans were great though as always; their last trip to NYC until 1996, which was their last trip to NYC for 5 years. They came back last summer but I was out of town.
It is rare I like an opener I'd never heard of enough to buy their record.
Most recent time was seeing Ollabelle open for Ryan Adams last December (I think) at the Beacon. I like that one a lot, although it is vey muc not in the Audities vein.
Saw Yo La Tengo open for Posies-era Big Star. Didn't like 'em (YLT; I liked Big Star just fine).
