I'm not sure if being a backup band counts as "before they were famous".

I saw Lynyrd Skynryd back up the Who, before they had released an album.

I also saw an unknown named Stevie Ray Vaughan back up the Moody Blues and again the next night in a dive bar.

A small bar near where I lived had a deal with the downtown blues clubs and would frequently feature weekday shows of artists that were in town. I saw Albert King, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, and a mess of others in a place that seated <100.
