Openers scheduled for the two shows were Robert Randolph and the Family Band (night one) and The Wailers (night two), however, because of the horrible weather on the second night, the Wailers did not play at all. Robert Randolph was a guest performer on his steel pedal guitar for the song "Fool in the Rain" on night one, which is a song originally written by Led Zeppelin.

On the second night, O.A.R. almost cancelled the show because of the rain and lightning. After a two-hour delay, Marc Roberge (lead vocals, guitar) said that they were literally minutes from calling the whole thing off but then they heard the fans chanting in the parking lot and they decided to have the show. The lightning let up, but the rain continued intermittently throughout the night. O.A.R. was able to perform a full set, despite having to make changes to their stage set-up because of the effect of the weather.
