News from New Orleads…

The latest about weather conditions can be found at accuweather.com:

Following a brief stint as a Category 1 hurricane, Barry weakened once again to a tropical storm on Saturday after making landfall along the central Louisiana coast. 

So it looks like the weather situation is relaxing and tomorrow’s show can take place. Here is the latest about Barry’s landfall and ecpected rain fall conditions…

Keith twittered just an hour ago: “Sitting it out. See you tomorrow at the Dome”

Mick tweeted already last Friday:

=> The Rolling Stones No Filter US/Canada Tour has entered the Pollstar Top-10! Have a look …

While moved to Monday, here we have the song vote for the New Orleans show!

Choose from among these:

– Harlem Shuffle

– Live With Me

– Under My Thumb

– Bitch

UPDATE: CNN.com – storm tracker

Woah, folks! It’s official:

UPDATE FROM NEW ORLEANS: Due to the weather we’re moving Sunday’s Superdome show to Monday. Hang onto your tickets, they will be honored on July 15. We’re here with you — we’ll get through this together.

UPDATE 2: Keith tweets about the song Hurricane (2005) and replies to this ask (among myany other comments) whether there be an official announcement hopefully soon about what hapens with the New Orleans show …

UPDATE: “Barry” to hit Lousiana! I think, the show is in danger …

CNN.com: Tropical Storm Barry presents New Orleans with an unprecedented problem, according to the National Weather Service

Just 3 days left … and then it’s time for another show. Let’s hope the weather clears aup for Sunday evening and nobody gets into trouble.

The band tweeted a short while ago (yes, Twitter is online again!):

Hi there, folks,

it has been serverely raining in New Orleans during the past day, streets have been flooded. By now, the situation is getting better, but the forecast predicts a tropical storm approaching the area. CNN reports:

The National Hurricane Center predicts that it will become Tropical Storm Barry by Thursday. It is then expected to strengthen to a hurricane by Saturday, when it likely makes landfall in Louisiana.

Here’s a look at its projected path:

See lso the Washington Post: New Orleans just faced a flash flood emergency, and Barry could bring more severe flooding Saturday, testing levees

So if this situation stays that severe, the show on Sunday is in danger to be cancelled… but much more in danger are the people living in town, so let’s hope that we have already passed the worst things to come.

What a show and what a band!

You were there? Got some review or story to tell? Well, SEND IT TO ME! 🙂

Here we have a pic of Keith and Gary backstage, very nice!

Ronnie’s Setlist

The Press

He (Mick) said he hoped everyone had a great July 4th weekend — and added that the Fourth had always been a “touchy holiday for us Brits.” “In fact, the President made a very good point in his speech the other night,” Jagger deadpanned. “He said, ‘If only the British had held on to the airports, the whole thing might have gone differently for us.’”

Ride ’em On Down with Gary Clark Jr.:

Thx to YouTube and many friends, here are the YouTubes so far known to me about the show in Ontario, Canada, June 29, 2019.

The show is almost complete – only 1 song is missing, Keith’s Before They Make Me Run – if anyone knows the URL, please sent it to me!

Usually I rate the completeness and the quality of sound higher than that of the picture when there are different videos to choose from. Hope you agree.
