Ten Years After opening for Peter Frampton.
My memory is a little less clear on this, you know the times were different then, but I seem to recall King Crimson opening for Golden Earing.
I wasn't there, but, it's been reported that Jimmy Hendrix opened for the Monkeys.

Philojet, sorry for the late reply, just saw this thread again after a long time. Again I wasn't there, but from what I understand the Monkees teeny bopper fans nearly booed Hendrix off the stage.
Audiofeil, couldn't agree more re: Mott The Hoople, even their best songs were penned by others.
