Robyn Hitchcock opening for Billy Bragg at the 930. A nice double header.
 
 Also. The disposal heroes of hip-hocracy opening for Billy Bragg at that place that was just off 16th street NW...quite entertaining I must admit.

Not that show.  I was there, JJ72 and Stereophonics were the only ones playing.  Sad thing is I heard the bassist left the group.

When Jimi Hendrix opened for the Monkees  :eek:  . No, I wasn't there but just imagine....
 
 But I did see Jazz Butcher open for the Screaming Blue Messiahs back in '86 on F St. SBM drew so much juice that an outlet burned up, forcing a short break (hey, I made a pun).

what a great band the Blue Aeroplanes are / were - saw them play a storming gig at the Rock Garden years ago - the dancer bloke going mad, guitarists jumping into the crowd, Langley off his rocker

ida for pedro the lion or
 the super furries for grandaddy (does that count as support or was that just a double-bill?  i dunno) or
 promise ring for jets to brazil (when they were touring like the only good album they ever had)
