I was supposed to see them as the opening band for The Who at Exhibition Stadium in Toronto. Turns out they were on Saturday Night Live that night, so we got Joe Jackson instead. A lot of yobbos were very pissed off and started throwing crap at them. Jackson and his band had to leave after no more than 10 minutes when his bass player was hit in the hand by a bottle. The Who didn't go on stage for about an hour and a half after that, and they weren't too happy - nor were they very good. It was supposed to to be The Who's farewell concert, but at the end of the gig, they announced another show later that year!
Damn. The whole thing stunk.
