Q. Max Brand: Hi Paul did Mink Deville opened for the Stones?

A. Paul James: The Stones wanted Mink DeVille to open for them in Paris. Believe it or not, they turned it down because Mink DeVille was very popular in Paris and preferred to do their own show and not open there. We played the Olympia a famous Opera House in Paris for three sold out shows... In Hanover Germany, Toots (Willy's first wife) & Willy DeVille took me with them to hang with The Rolling Stones after our show there. We met them all and ended up partying in Keith Richard room till 10am the next morning!
