Obscure Artists That Opened for The Rolling Stones

The second most exciting thing about going to a Rolling Stones concert is seeing the opening act. From Stevie Wonder and the Doobie Brothers in the early 70’s to Guns N’ Roses and Foo Fighters, the Stones have made a tradition of enlisting A List acts to open their shows. However, for every famous artist that’s opened for the Stones there are as many artists that ranged from cult following, regional fame or just plain obscure.
