Seeing a band before they’re famous

Anyone have any good stories about seeing a band somewhere, maybe a small venue or as an opener who later went on to be huge?

For me it was OzzFest ‘99, some band we never heard of was about to start on the side stage so my buddy and I went and checked them out. It was a good set, a little wild and I wasn’t sure what to make of it but it was good. After they finished they were hanging at the front of the stage signing autographs and stuff so we went and met them, talked for a few, got autographs and what not, it wasn’t crowded. A few weeks later I saw this band on MTv, and before I knew it they were the next big thing and blew up…

That band was Slipknot

Modern Ghost isn't too shabby either!

Saw an upcoming band open for Sonic Youth at the Melody Ballroom in Portland, OR I 1991. They melted our faces off. We hadn't even heard of Nirvana up until that moment.
