HEY!

Some great "opening acts" that I saw that were better than the headliners!

SQUEEZE (on their first American tour ever) opening for the Tubes.  I guess 
it was 81 or 80.
CHEAP TRICK opening for Foreigner.  I think it was the In Color tour.
OUEEN opening for Mott The Hoople.  It was Queen's FIRST EVER AMERICAN SHOW 
and they were incredilbe.  They weren't better than Mott but they came close to 
being!
