This was my answer last time, because I remember making a joke about both bands phoning their booking agents and saying "I want to tour with the BLACKEST band you can find."

Apparently Prince opened for the Rolling Stones in 1982, and the Stones fans' only reaction was to boo him off the stage.
Bizarrest bills I've seen:
Low opening for Soul Coughing (it is to my eternal shame that I didn't kill the guy who kept hollering "YEEEEEE-HAH!" during Low's set).
Flamenco dancers opening for a DC jangle-pop and a Richmond thrash-metal group.

I saw a show in Bloomington at 2nd Story with Monsieur Jeffrey Evans' 68 Comeback and a death metal band called Legion on the same weird bill. It was a good time, each others crowd dug it and people got really wasted and loose.

Low covered the Soul Coughing song Blue Eyed Devil, and it's my favorite song of theirs (Low's). Also, not odd really.

I saw Dwight Yoakam open for Husker Du once,....that was a bit odd.
also any late 60s jazz/rock pairing, eg. Cecil Taylor and the Yardbirds
Sisters of Mercy and Public Enemy. I kid you not. At a fairground in Upstate NY.
Three-way genre-fuck I attended in North Carolina: Todd Rundgren, Grandmaster Flash and U2.
Ramblin' Jack Elliot followed by Peaches = I win
My dad saw Tom Waits open for Fishbone.
My high school friend Josh saw Suicidal Tendencies open for Madonna
none of the others seem that wierd to me...
― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Monday, 14 June 2004 18:46 (twenty-two years ago)
good point, actually. they were basically the same band at that point, for crissakes (or at least they sounded like it.)

-- Apostrophe Catastrophe (masonicboom@yaho
I went to this when it rolled into NYC (at Radio City). Supporting bands were Gang of Four (supporting the roundly maligned Mall at the time), Warrior Soul (bad metal band who briefly featured Big Paul Ferguson of Killing Joke on drums) and the truly embarassing Young Black Teenagers. Good show all around, though. Best part was when Andrew came out for the encore sporting a PE baseball jersey!

The package tour fizzled out before completion. I believe PE pulled out for some reason.
