When Genesis opened for Lou Reed
From:

Apparently Genesis opened for Lou Reed in Toronto in 1973 and it didn't go over so well.
Steve Hackett here:
British musician and former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett told Britain's The Guardian newspaper that fights broke out between Genesis and Reed supporters when the progressive rock band opened for Reed in a 1973 gig at Toronto's Massey Hall.
"There were people who wanted to watch Genesis, and people who wanted to watch Lou Reed. And that deteriorated into a punch-up between the Lou Reed fans who were on downers, and the Genesis fans who were more into Earl Grey tea," Hackett said in 2011.
