So what concerts have you seen with an odd mix of acts? My first real concert in 1971 had the following 5 acts.
1: Crowbar (local Toronto area act)
2: Rita Coolidge
3: The Buddy Miles Band
4: The James Gang (with Joe Walsh)
5: Sly and The Family Stone.

Another concert I saw at the same venue (Maple Leaf Gardens) was a mid 70s new years eve gig with Johnny Winter, and Slade. I can't remember which order, they probably flipped a coin as they were both about the same level of popularity at the time.
