Squeezing through the crowds in front of The National Gallery I finally saw Dave Cousins (and acoustic) at the foot of the Column giving all he had in the way only he can. He only performed two or three songs, but blew Joan Baez off the stage and made my day. I also met my future wife for the first time that night, and I can still remember what Dave was wearing.

Black Sabbath had the top billing but Yes really put on a show and blew Black Sabbath out of the building. I left before it was finished.

And now a word about Rockpile, one of the best bands there ever was.

Starting around 1977, for a bit more than 10 years there, I saw just about every rock n roll band worth seeing if they played NYC. There are few shows I missed in venues huge or tiny.

I can tell you with confidence that one of the best ever was: Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds' Rockpile.

A precursor version of Rockpile on the Stiffs Live tour doing Heart Of the City

Doing my favorite version of Promised Land which is one of my favorite rock n roll tunes ever.

Doing the great Elvis Costello composition Girls Talk

Doing a great mid-tempo Marty Robins cover Singin THe Blues

Heart of the City was one of the highlights of their show but there's no real great version on the Youtubes

They were never not "on" and when they were "on" they were as good as it got. It was sad for any band they opened for. I saw them blow Van Morrison right off the stage. They blew Blondie off the stage and into the next county. Keif Richards got on stage with them and was pretty superfluous. Nick Lowe, Dave Edmunds, Billy Bremner and Terry Williams. What a combination of rock and pop.

More clips: I knew the Bride I Knew The Bride Crawling From the Wreckage Queen of Hearts

Lowe & Edmunds were the stars, but watching these reminds me how Terry Williams was one of the all time best rock solid drummers there ever was to anchor a rock n roll band.

one last thing: if you can find it, get the Stiff Live Stiffs record. It has the precursor Rockpile doing "I Knew The Bride" and a great great little tune called Let's Eat

Oh, and before we James fans get too smug at them out-performing the Smiths, James themselves were blown off the stage by the Stone Roses

Wow, these Stone Roses guys must be invincible.

One blogger has boldly stated that 52% of the time these blow-off claims are true, and 48% are bullshit. No evidence, but it has a nice ring to it.

Yeah OK, that's all the Rolling Stone rock acts done.

This particular type of one-upmanship bullshit may have flourished with Guitar Men Making Great Art. Dunno if people used the phrase in music before the '60s. (It seems to be used less in jazz, maybe because it's a more collaborative thing.) There's a fake example in a recent novel set in WW2, someone saying that a trumpeter "could blow Beethoven off the stage" in occupied Paris, which would've been truly impressive in the circumstances.

Or is there any claim that's more batshit than this one? (from MayTheRockBeWithYou.com)

(Papa Roach) ... They’ve toured with pretty much every band in the world and in most cases blown them off the stage.

A good metaphor:

Dudley is a Dinosour Puppet with a bit of an attitude. He seems to think he is better than everyone else. The kids will attempt to "blow Dudley off the stage" by yelling a statement. Today's saying is: "Jesus is the Rock!" I usually let the kids have 3 tries at getting him off the stage. Each time they yell, Dudley sways back and forth as if it were very windy. To add excitement, I let the excitement go on for 2 or 3 days (programs) And finally, the kids are loud enough, and Dudley is blown off the stage. (disappears behind the puppet stage) To add some fun, the kids try things like yelling as quiet as they can, or doing a Silent Screem, to try and confuse Dudley. This helps emphasize today's theme.

I'd argue that it reached its apex (though in a distinctly non-bullshitty way) in the late 30s:
http://jazztimes.com/articles/80853-chick-webb-the-savoy-king

It was Webb’s face-off with Goodman several months earlier that made history. Billed as “The Musical Battle of the Century,” it was witnessed by an SRO crowd of 4,000 who packed the Savoy while another 5,000 thronged the sidewalks outside. BG was already being promoted as the King of Swing, but for blacks especially, Webb was the uncrowned king. And on the occasion of May 11, 1937, the verdict was in his favor. As Gene Krupa said of his drumming counterpart, “Chick Webb had cut me to ribbons.”

Romney blew Obama off the stage! His plans made sense & the figures add up. He is capable of everything Obama is not, he is clear, concise and presents his vision in an organized manner-even to the point of managing his time better in the debate. This guy knows what the hell is going on. I'd trust him with my taxpayer $.

NIN blew Bowie off the stage in the Outside Tour.

They performed 'Under Pressure', the song Bowie had recorded with Queen. She (Annie Lennox) blew Bowie off the stage!

I once saw Klaus Nomi open for Bowie in a scene that clearly defined man's inhumanity to man.
What was sad was that the artsy fartsy crowd was booing and heckling him.
Sadder still was that he blew Bowie off the stage.

I also saw the Moldy Peaches guy in the Peter Pan/Robin Hood outfit being tossed off the stage by irate Strokes fans that would have horrified me if I wasn't laughing so hard. Best heckle line:"You're living in a fantasy, asshole!"

It was ridiculous how badly Jagger blew Bowie off the stage and I hasten to add I think that Bowie is one of the most powerful figures ever.

Current concerns over the awkward future of the financially beleaguered ATP Festival aside, this weekend Charlotte Church apparently turned in one of the most downright entertaining sets at the Stewart Lee-curated edition of the festival, blowing the likes of Sleaford Mods and the aforementioned Fall off the stage.

Not that it's really that applicable to this discussion, but Miles Davis actually opened up for the Dead during one of their tours, either late 60s or early 70s. all of the GD guys were fans, and from what I remember reading, MDavis blew them off the stage.

I guess maybe this is obvious but it’s a pretty weird image since they’re not actually on the stage while the other band that “blew them off” is performing.
