Johan Miles Band was great in Stuttgart 1976. They replaced Robin Trower who had pulled out for some reason. Their smash hit 'Music' was high in the charts so everybody was into it.

Johan Miles? Was that the Austrian tribute act to John Miles?

Come on, this was a typing mistake (as everybody should clearly see)

Best: A hard competition between barbarian twins and dandy warhols

Best

The Standells and the McCoys.

Worst
Goo Goo dolls

Marv Peck

Y'all remember that rubber legged boy

Best: Pretenders (Soldier's Field, Chicago)
Worst: Jamiroquai (MGM Grand, Las Vegas)

Worst: Any heavy metal or metal oriented act. Not the same public, you know.
But the real worst has to be Spin Doctors, a band who composed one song and then just swapped titles and lyrics to duplicate it ad aeternum.

Best: New Barbarians, of course.

BEST : George THOROGOOD and J-Geils BAND June 14th 1982 PARIS
At their best!

WORST : STEREOPHONICS July 9th 2003 PARIS
Poor Sound and noise !

HMN

Best: J. Geils Band in Gothenburg 1982.
Worst: Too many probably, I quickly learned to stay in the bar during the opening acts. So me and the vikings are our own opening act

Vilhelm
Nordic Stones Vikings

I always thought Sheryl warmed the crowd up nicely.

Wasn't there a time Prince (before he made it big) supported the Stones and was booed? Possibly '81 tour?

sheryl crow was pretty okay at Nashville 97, that was back when I could stand her. Alice Cooper in Louisville 06 was probably the best.

Yeah, they were great. Fact is, they had far better sound than the Stones, I remember that very clearly, I actually went to the mixing board and begged them to fix the sound. That didn´t help a bit.

Good - Peter Tosh and Journey (!) (Chi 78), Living Colour (Alpine Valley '89), Eagles (Milw. '75), Meters (Ft. Lauderdale 06), Buddy Guy (ABB Milw. and BtB Chi)

Bad - Rufus ('75, bad sound), Southside Johnny (78, bad sound)

Ugly - Blues Traveler, Lenny Kravitz, Ryan Adams - yeeeesh!

On a related note, this Oberon is quite tasty

Poor Sound and noise !"

I remember this mess, it sounded like a jet taking off. A Dutch chick next to me frantically grabbed a paper hankerchief , tore it in too and stuffed the pieces in her tortured ears.

Yep. Los Angeles Coliseum '81. I guess the Stones fans werent ready for a guy in stockings and suspenders! He was booed/bottled off on the first night and I think he refused to play the 2nd night as a result. Cant recall if they managed to coax him back for that gig or not.

"Cant recall if they managed to coax him back for that gig or not"

I've heard he left the stage AND he then left L.A. and flew back to Minneapolis...

Worst - Amy Winehouse, Flamming Lips

When and where did Amy Winehouse open for the Stones ?
I just remember she was supposed to open for them in Düsseldorf 2007 for the first time but
it was cancelled short before because of her health problems...
