The strangest combo I ever saw was G.G. open for Poco at Woolsey Hall, Yale University (I'm not sure of the year, I think 1973 or 74). Most of the audience was there to see Poco. For the first 10 minutes G.G. was being booed off the the stage. After a short time, the crowd shut up and eventually started to listen and liked what they heard. At the end of the set they got a standing ovation. By the way, Poco actually played a great set that night. Being at that show was like eating two dishes from different ethnic groups that you like equally!
