    In 1972 Neil Young brought out Graham Nash for the encore- no biggie really.

    Around 1976, at the Chicago/Beach Boys concert in CSU stadium in Ft Collins, Elton John and his band showed up for a three band encore. Elton was recording at Caribou Ranch.

    The one I regret missing-
    In the summer of 1974 I was working in St.Pete Florida. It was raining throughout the entire state, and I decided to pass on a drive across to the Atlantic side to see Eric Clapton. I learned later that Pete Townshend and Keith Moon joined in at the show.

    Not counting openers, but counting some festival collaborations:

    1995: Farm Aid, Louisville - Willie Nelson plays guitar with Hootie & the Blowfish/everybody does "On the Road Again" after Neil Young's set
    1995: Freedom Hall, Louisville - Bela Fleck joins Hootie & the Blowfish
    2000: Jillian's, Louisville - Radney Foster & Bill Lloyd join Hootie & the Blowfish
    (What? Hootie concerts were fun.)
    2001: Madison Square Garden - Daniel Lanois plays a song with U2
    2003: Brown Theater, Louisville - John Cale is an unannounced performer at the public radio appreciation show (announced acts were Paul Westerberg, Sonic Youth, Patti Smith, and Polyphonic Spree--all for $15)
    2008: Bonnaroo - Money Mark and Eddie Vedder each play with Jack Johnson; Kirk Hammett plays with My Morning Jacket; T-Bone Burnett joins Robert Randolph's Revival; many more, I'm sure, but not while I was watching
    2010: Bridgestone Arena, Nashville - Vince Gill plays with Eric Clapton
    2011: Louisville Palace - Erykah Badu plays with My Morning Jacket during their "Unstaged" show on album release day
    2011: PJ20 (Day 2) - All the great collaborations all day long; no real surprises, since Cornell had already played on Day 1, when I wasn't there

    Coolest I've seen: 2011, Nashville - Bono pulls a blind guy out of the front row after the show, lets him play his guitar (and take it home afterward) on "All I Want is You." The show is completely over, the rest of the band is halfway off the stage, and it was all Bono to do this cool thing for the guy.

    Weirdest I've seen: 2005, Louisville - John Mellencamp puts on a fantastic arena concert less than an hour from his hometown, and during "Pink Houses," he brings out support act Donovan (with whom Mellencamp had already played) and surprise guest Stephen King (YES, THE MASTER OF HORROR) on acoustic guitar. It was surreal. And awesome.

  • When I saw Pearl Jam for the first time on September 11, 2011 in Toronto, Neil Young joined Pearl Jam during the final song, Keep On Rockin' The Free World! Best concert ending ever! Also when I saw Snow Patrol last year, they brought out their opening act Ed Sheeran during New York. When I saw Alexisonfire on December 28, they brought out the frontman for Moneen during Accident. Finally, In 2010, Bon Jovi brought out Kid Rock during Bad Medicine/Old Time Rock N' Roll. That's all I can remember.
