Wow, the Ramones opened for Black Sabbath?

Reminds me of Black Flag opening for Venom sometime around 1985. This 
was years after venom's 1st two, masterful, NWOBHM proto-thrash LPs, and 
when they had become total wanker cock rock. I remember reading Henry 
Rollins was embarrassed after the show.

I've always wanted to collect odd double-billings like this.

A couple more that strike me are Mnor Threat opening for PiL, or Minor 
Threat opening for The Damned.

The drummer of Minor Threat, Jeff Nelson, is selling the flyer that 
advertised Minor Threat playing w/ The Damned, on eBay, here:
