Weirdest opening act/Main act paring in a concert.

I have seen several shows where you wonder who booked the show. Why was this band on the same bill as the Main act.

I saw Joan Jett open for Robert Plant. I like both but it is an odd paring.

Iron Maiden Opened for 38 special.
Iron Maiden had just released Number of the beast and Run to the Hills had just started getting air play. 38 special was on their Wild Eyed Southern Boys tour.

REO Speedwagon and Cheap Trick aren't really a bad pairing but CT was the opening act. CT blew REO off the stage. This was in 1983.

Last year I saw David Allen Coe at a little venue here in Little Rock. The Venue usually caters to the 18 and up crowd so most shows are Hard Rock/Metal. Well they had 2 local metal bands open up for DAC. What was funny was to see some of his old fans looking aournd when the metal bands were on stage. Too Funny.
