 openers were primus and fishbone.
 
 beat that.

i thought that was Primus and the Disposable Heroes of Hiphopracy. [/b]

oh . . . wait . . . i think you're right.  either way, it's odd. [/b]

fishbone would've been much better though!!    [/b]

same tour.

[grotty]

Right - just remembered that.
 Was thinking of the weird Zooropa tour.

Violent Femmes opening for The Grateful Dead was an odd pairing.

Back in the day, they took Fatima Mansions with them on a European tour in the early 90s....they were critical darlings but basically unknown
 
 from the bands point of view as well, you need someone with at least a little seasoning - you don't want someone to go out there and freeze in front of 50,000 people.....but in general I agree with you

  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?

Dwight Yoakam toured as support for BOTH of those acts, albeit on separate occasions.

heh, i saw the blue oyster cult at some bar in dayton ohio when i was out there on business in march.  they weren't bad for being so washed up that they had to resort to playing bars in a shithole like dayton.

Jimi Hendrix & The Monkees

My English teacher in high school told me he saw Ministry open for Roxy Music in 1982...boy, talk about how times change.
 
 I think the weirdest pairing I've ever seen was Ben Folds Five opening for Bettie Serveert. Catherine Wheel opening for INXS was kind of odd, in retrospect it was interesting to see the Strokes open for the Doves too. I also saw the Killers open for Morrissey.

What exactly make any of these weird?

Some of the Ottobar shows have defied description, but short of those:
 
 Beastie Boys (just turned rap) opening for PiL or Madonna, take your choice.
 
 The Buffalo Tom opening for My Bloody Valentine (with the noisy version of Mercury Rev at the front).  They slowed the show to a crawl.
 
 Sonic Youth opening for Neil Young.
 
 These are one's that I have seen at least.

I was there for that one.  Classic.
 
 Trouble Funk opening for Nina Hagen was interesting.
