   Many times. I can recall one particular 'disaster'. A perfect   
   example of a bad booking choice.   
   The show was originally supposed to be John Mayall,   
   with Joe Walsh as the 'opener'. For some unavoidable   
   reason, Walsh canceled, and Weather Report was   
   substituted as the opener. On short notice, I recruited   
   three friends and we headed to Boston in order to see   
   Weather Report. This was the earlier line-up, when   
   Miroslav Vitous was still the bass player.   
   All during WR's set, the yahoos in attendance kept   
   booing, and yelling "John Mayall" during the quieter   
   moments. Can't expect a bunch of Joe Walsh fans   
   to understand what was going on, on stage.   
   My friends and I sat through Mayall's set, just long   
   enough to take advantage of a quiet period. We stood up,   
   and yelled "Weather Report!!" in unison, then left.
