Worst opening act headliner pairing ever?

[Glynn]

I am sure Kenny G opened for a Level 42 concert years ago that I went to - shows how memorable he was! Rather boring I think.  Glynn

i don't know if this really counts, but a few years ago i saw the Dead (sans jerry... i'm a little too young to have been able to see him) in either Charlotte or Atlanta play an encore with Sammy Hagar. made absolutely no sense to me, but not much did given my state of mind at the time. hilarious, none the less.

wow, that's a bizarre pairing,
 
In 1980 we sold our new years eve Sammy Hagar tickets, bought some inebrients..and watched the space needle lights throb to the local rock station... no regrets  : )

I saw Michael Boltot open for Kenny G at the Iowa State Fair.
 
It may be the only concert I walked out on.

I thought Michale Bolton and Kenny G were the same person.  Has anyone ever seen them in the same room at the same time?  hehehehe

Micheal boltion has been on all the UK chat shows this past week plugging a new album (of oldies). He's had his hair cut (in 1998 apparently but I don't pay THAT much attention) and now looks like a really old Richard Chamberlain.  
 
One things for sure reading all the posts, we've all seen some acts we maybe wouldn't have considered buying tickets for. I wonder how many we've come away liking ?
When I was younger, seeing headline acts at Newcastle City hall (like thin lizzy, Yes, Mahogany Rush and so on), we never used to go to to the auditorium to see the support bands, preferring to spend the time in the bar. I sometimes wonder how many gems I missed. I do recall seeing Chris Rea supporting Lindisfarne on their Christmas show one time and thought he was pretty good at the time. Unfortunately for him, Ray Laidlaw (lidisfarne's drummer) got up into the rigging above the stage and poured a bucket of water over Chris.

It hasn't been mentioned above and I wasn't there but, on a BBC4 prog rock documentary last week, it was revealed that King Crimson opened for The Rolling Stones at their legendary Hyde Park gig shortly after Brian Jones' death. That must have seemed a bit odd for the Stones fans.
