British musician and former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett told Britain's The Guardian newspaper that fights broke out between Genesis and Reed supporters when the progressive rock band opened for Reed in a 1973 gig at Toronto's Massey Hall. "There were people who wanted to watch Genesis, and people who wanted to watch Lou Reed. And that deteriorated into a punch-up between the Lou Reed fans who were on downers, and the Genesis fans who were more into Earl Grey tea," Hackett said in 2011.

BOC also had the Jam open a bunch of US arena shows in '77 -- iirc, these were the Jam's first US shows, and BOC audiences didn't exactly dig them.

In the old Dave Marsh "Rock Lists" book, there was a list of "Bands Who Opened For The J. Geils Band", and seems like at least 75% of it could go here (iirc, Yes, the Eagles, and Kiss appeared).

The NME tours used to throw up some odd combinations
2002 I suppose you could turn up late and go to the bar for an hour
2000 turn up late and go home if Shack are a mess
1999: drop during Llama Farmers, come up during Delakota, have a sit-down and some water during Idlewild, back up for UNKLE
1998 seems likely that the front 19 rows will be fuckwits crossing their arms and refusing to let ppl who want to leave before Stereophonics dance

It's such a random list! Kiss wouldn't have been out of place on it. And EW&F + J. Geils must've been an incredible show.
