The only time we shared a stage with another band was back in the '60's when there was a battle of the bands. After that, never.

Did it once in Little Rock and there were way more than three bands playing on an outdoor stage. Great sound and monitoring. The stage director had it firmly in hand. Each band had their gear set up in a staging area, and when the last band finished, there was a fifteen minute break to allow the next band to scamper on stage and set up their gear. The stage hands were wonderful, with one guy assigned to each musician and his gear. Zoom. We were on stage, miked up, and ready to play within the allotted time frame. This was a great experience for us.

I've done some that were backlined and well organized and then I've done others that were disorganized and chaotic. I usually enjoyed the former and hated the latter ...
I've done two of them, the first we opened for a Doors tribute band on New Years Eve. I hated it because I had to use the other drummers kit, and it was not a great kit. The Second time We opened for Leslie West of Mountain this one was great, huge crowd and I got to use my own kit. After that we avoided them.
The annoying part is when bands take their sweet @#$!@# time getting off the stage when they are done, even when knowing you are needing to get up there and setup.
They start talking to people in the crowd and etc.. look man just get off the stage then go chitchat.
