Off the top of my head, the best opening act of someone I had never heard of before was when I went to see Foreigner on their '4' tour(Jukebox Hero). It sold out two nights in Oklahoma City(a rarity). The back up band was Bryan Adams. The next year Journey came to town and sold out 2 shows(i didn't make that one) and Bryan Adams was the back up band. I figured he must have had the best management in the business to be a new guy and his first 2 tours are with those 2 bands in their heyday.
I also remember seeing Heart for the first time and the back up band was Climax Blues Band. I had never heard of them before and they blew me away.
Another band(these are now popping into my brain) was Starz. They backed up Aerosmith and Rick Derringer and stole the show and became popular in Oklahoma City after that show.
