Message: [QUOTE="storrsroars, post: 4043439, member: 2500"] When Tom Petty played Lake Compounce, I went there to see the opener - The Replacements. Unfortunately, the 'Mats really didn't want to be there and performed like it. Petty wasn't bad, but I was in a bad mood after the 'Mats mailed it in. The one specific time I thought the opener blew away the featured act was during The Who's "Quadrophenia" tour at MSG in '74. I've mentioned it a few times here, but Pete and Roger to this day say it was their worst performance ever, due to sound problems. No encore, they were disgusted and just left the stage after about an hour and five minutes. However, Golden Earring opened, was fantastic, and the crowd was actually chanting for them during The Who's set. [/QUOTE]
