Worst Concert Pairing, EVER

[grotty]

In conjunction with the DBT record review thread,
 
 I'd like to offer up this recent show @ the Charlottesville Pavilion as the worst double bill ever:
 
 Drive-By Truckers
 
 and then
 
 Robert Randolph
 
 Holy WTF! I thought I was going to have an aneurysm during all that jamming. The UVA kids did like it tho when Boyd Tinsley of DMB fame joined the fray.

 Can you top it?

hmm the obvious answer here is... any HFStival...  I've sat thru 6 hours of shit to see 45 minutes of goodness on multiple occasions.
 
 When pelt opened for Sonic Youth it was very odd... Anyone remember that show?  They played one note for 25 minutes.

I think the word "pairing" is usually associated with the word "two". Though I could be wrong.

Tegan & Sara, Gogol Bordello and Cake was certainly odd...but turned out to be ALOT of fun.

on the popmart tour, rage against the machine was the opener at the cotton bowl.
 
 on the zootv outdoor tour, the openers in the bay area was the sugarcubes and public enemy.  let's just say that U2 doesn't shy away from interesting combinations.

i saw limp bizkit open for faith no more back in 1997 at the 9:30 club.  that was funny.

in recent memory...
 
 Bardo Pond opening for Dinosaur Jr. has to take the cake.
 
 
 also, the Zutons opening for Muse were very annoying.

anyone who opens for j. doesn't matter, really.

I'd like to see U2 be braver and take a relative unknown on the road with them. I mean they sell out arenas world wide and people aren't buying tickets to see the opening acts. So why don't they use some of that power and pull to help launch the career of a new artist?
 
 Just my thought. I feel the same way about any artist who can pack houses and stadiums on their own and yet seem to forget what it was like when they were looking for a break.
