I saw him when he opened for 'em the last two nights of the Tusk tour at the Hollywood Bowl...I remember "Ride Like The Wind" was 100x's better live than on record.

All Man, The Mac and Jethro Tull are my two all time fav. That is one show I would have loved to see.

I know and trade with many mac fan does anyone have a good Jethro Tull shows for trade?

Thanks for the info

Wow..the list of supporters is fascinating, some good names on there (John Cougar

)
Errr...I wonder when they did away with them, you know, decided to do the whole concert themselves? The Dance Era maybe? David?

When I saw Fleetwood in June 1990, Squeeze was the opener. When I saw Fleetwood again in December 1990, I don't recall any opening act.

Also, no opening act at the supper club shows in '94 & '95, & of course as everyone knows, no opener on the '97 reunion tour.

Did anyone see an '82 show with Glenn Frey opening? Frey played the City of Hope benefit as a guest (it was the summer "The One You Love" was a hit), but he didn't open any show in CA. Men at Work were supposed to, but Mac had to postpone their CA dates, so Dave Mason opened in Los Angeles & Oakland.

To add further to David's list:

John Waite (formerly of the Babys) ... was the first act in a festival concert in Orlando for the Tusk tour, followed by Loverboy and John Cougar, with the Mac as the headliners. Awesome show from about 2PM until about 11PM (?)

Me too!

I thought Jethro Tull were total pants so I went to the loo about two songs in. I was glad I did because the queue was so long but I got back in time for FM

I thought they were crap too! I was right at the front of the standing section and didn't dare move though. So had to suffer it all! Hall and Oates were pretty good!

The show I saw in 1994, Roger McGuinn (ex-Byrds leader) did a solo acoustic set as opening act.

On the TITN 1988 tour in Germany a group called "The adventures" opened for them. This group had a little radio hit called "just send my heart" back then.

For part of the tour. Dave Mason (along with his songwriting partner, the now late, Jim Kreuger) did an all-acoustic set to open the two shows in LA that were filmed for the Mirage video.
