Of course the crowd only appreciated Thorogood out of all the opening acts, probably as his music was closest to sounding like what the Stones were doing at that time (and the fact that he was local boy).
Mick's never been most people's idea of a great vocalist, per se. The argument was front men and the best of the bunch, by FAR, closed that night @ JFK.
You're right though, vocally on the Tattoo You tour he sounded pretty bad due to coke tounge ("Lo I Miiii Yo, "Wo meh li tumbalin diiiiiiii") and the live album from that tour sounds like he overdubbed most of his vox.
I will agree Mick is better than Gramm or Perry, but that wasn't who we were originally arguing over was it?
