Worst and Best in same concert.

Black Sabbath, November '78, Nashville. The show was canceled 'cause they couldn't find Ozzy. Well, he showed up the next morning. The band agrees to circle back around and does the concert a few days later on a Sunday afternoon at 3 PM. So, I go and it was just a boring playlist. Worst concert ever. However, the opening band was unbelievable. I had never heard of them before. From the first song to to last it was awesome. Rocked the house. I went out and bought their album the next day. Band was Van Halen.
