Any word on the alleged soundcheck?

Maybe that was it!

He will be guesting with the Stones this evening! Any guesses which song? ;D

Also was Keith at the soundcheck yesterday or was he getting some rest? I know that snippet of WWW is bad quality seeing how it's just some mobile recording and also from the outside and all but the guitar sound seems quite thin and at least I only hear one (?) guitar and it's Ronnie? Or am I being paranoid lol...maybe it's just the recording and I'm dumb xD

Video from the Stones X:

NOLA we’re heading your way! See you soon @jazzfest 👅

The stage for tonight, with special thanks to Cleik from our message board in Spanish

The stage looks tiny :O

Have fun later @ everyone attending!  :D

I wonder if our old friend Edith Grove is attending...He was from NOLA.
He dropped off the boards at the start of Covid...Hope all is well in his world.

Anyone else think that the Jazz Fest in NOLA is as likely a place as any for the boys to pull out some real rarities?

I mean if they actually end up playing Time is on my Side that will be a pretty big thing!

Also it's very likely they'll play WWW since they rehearsed this yesterday...and I really hope Keith will be fit again, so he can finally debut Tell Me Straight <3 (like this the potential setlist already seems way better than Houston tbh, but let's see what they'll actually play in the end xD)

The show is about tro start, so this is not a spoiler, thanks Rogerriffin

Its looking like it could be, as it now seems there'll be two special guests (hopefully on different songs)

Indeed. His last post was the day after Charlie died, although the last time he had logged in was March 2023.

Hope he's doing well.

Agree 110% but...  did they played it? The guy who was sending pix and setlist didn't mention it

To get it off with such a great performance!!

'Time is on my side' - last played Osaka 20.3.98

'Let It Bleed' was played on the 2021 tour - last occasion was Austin 20.11.21

Glen posting live on facebook again :

https://www.facebook.com/Glen.R.Turner/videos/3804378199885353

First encore

Sweet Sounds Of Heaven.

Mick telling the band at the start to play it faster!

SSOH seemed short to me - they didnt do the coda

Second encore :

Satisfaction

I'd kill to hear time is on my side live. It's such a legendary song. It could be a warhorse, but no... They gotta keep it hidden for decades at a time lol.

I have the feeling 1 Keith song will be the norm this go around. Bummer cause there's really no reason. A ballad wouldn't take too much out of the band. Plus it would give Mick some more time to rest up...

I'm being greedy. I'm just glad they're touring.

Thanks for the link Gazza!

That was pretty fucking awesome.

It looked pretty fucking awesome!   8-)

"Thank you NOLA @jazzfest - so great to finally be a part of it!

And a huge thanks to the amazing  Dwayne Dopsie - King of the Accordion - who joined the Stones on Let It Bleed..And the incredible Soul Queen of New Orleans, Irma Thomas who took to the stage for Time Is On My Side…A song she knows very well as she’d recorded it before the Rolling Stones in 1964!"

Aside from it feeling wrong that he's not around at all anymore, his presence is really missed when they play Jazzfest:

There is a reason, Keith is literally recovering from Covid (Bernard told fans so at a bar) and people who attended the concerts so far said they saw him cough, that's also why Mick is keeping his distance (he even was seen with a face mask in Houston), cause he obviously wants to stay fit and not have to cancel a show again like in 2022...poor Keith, I hope he will be fit again for Glendale, at least it's 5 days now til that show, not just 4, that might give him enough time...and then I'm sure he'll finally be able to debut Tell Me Straight <3

Cannot wait to watch the vids of WWW, Let it Bleed and Time is On my Side later!

I hope that once Keith is at 100% again, not only will we finally get to hear Tell Me Straight, but also will they rotate GOOMC with Shattered and BMHO cause I don't like GOOMC that much that I'd love to hear it 4 times in a row LOL once would be fine tho...one can dream  :P also hopefully they'll dig out CYHMK and MR at some shows...YCAGWYW gets so fucking boring...I get that for some reason Mick won't give up Miss You, but imo YCAGWYW isn't even that much of a war horse as compared to Paint it Black or Sympathy or of course Satisfaction...

Watched WWW and loved it! Ronnie's solo was great, but it would sound even better if Mick stopped to fucking clap and wave and started to play guitar  ::) he can clap and wave enough during OOT and all those other clap and wave songs...

Also Time is on My Side with Irma Thomas sounded amazing!

Holy shitballs. That version of 'Let It Bleed' was great too - the big guy is killing it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_mrObHakKA

'Let It Bleed' was also filmed by Hendrik Mulder, who shared his video of TIOMS yesterday on facebook. Here's the facebook link - its closer and slightly better sound I think

https://www.facebook.com/100006072181682/videos/1166592484496704/

Ronnie's day wasnt finished at 7 pm when the Stones' gig ended. He posted a short clip of him playing in a club around midnight with Irma Thomas

https://www.facebook.com/reel/1488041198770554

[size=12]The one-off stage is interesting....customer made for NOLAJF??
Not exactly the standard Mardi Gras colors, but the dancing silhouettes are truly NOLA inspired.

It wasnt mentioned, but there was no song vote, was there?
I assume that there was none for 2 reasons:
1) Its a festival and the set lists are often abbreviated
2) Make room for the guest appearance and  play a throwback of TIOMS[.
Well dome by all.

Off the Arizona, where they cant hold onto an NHL team...Go Canes!!/size]

A friend of mine was there and said the sound was terrible, as was the audience in general . worst concert he'd seen as per his words ..

I haven't been there but the audience participation in the videos I watched indeed seemed terrible...and one of those vids was OOT, I don't understand this, 2 years ago everyone loved this song and couldn't get enough of if, but already in Houston people seemed confused by it ::)

Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger calls out Louisiana governor; Landry claps back

They tightened up nicely after Houston.  This was a good show according to the clips I saw on YouTube.  I wish (as I have wished for 30 years [and yes, there were tours that did the deep-dive]) that they'd dig a bit deeper into their catalog (not The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man deep, but how about No Expectations deep? lol).

I get it - 80.  No Charlie.  Fine.  They're out there with really good energy and joy. 

And fucking Steve Jordan.  He has been a breath of fresh air for these guys, doing all of that great Charlie heavy lifting.  RIP Charlie, Steve is the ONLY right man for this job if Charlie can't do it.

Seeing them in Boston (Foxborough) at the end of the month.  Looking forward to that show.
