Juliusz How does it change meaning, if it does at all? The second one shows tense. The first would inherit its tense from the tense of the main clause, which you have not provided.

True. I should have written the whole sentence. Here it is:
"The two men sitting next to me were cheering before the band had even come on stage."
"The two men who were sitting next to me were cheering before the band had even come on stage."
Thank you
