Mick was prooven positive of Covid19 – and the show is cancelled!
Hi folks! Just cam in from office work, prepared for a long, hot Stones night… Just heard the news … this is crazy! I’m gathering the news, so reload this page every once in a while!
So sorry for you folks headed for the show in Amsterdam!! This is really hard. In any case, stay well, take care of each other!
And, for chrissakes, Mick, get well soon and swiftly!! Ronnie, Keith, Daryl, Sasha, Chuck, Bernard, Karl, Tim, Matt and all you members of the touring crew: stay save and take care!!
Well, shit happens. Fuck, Covid19 is not yet done – I know why I’m still running around with a mask on me face…
With Amsterdam cancelled, we all know that Bern this Friday is in danger, too. Nothing official as of now. Let’s hop for the best…
Today, the band has done the usual sound check, but after that, Mick was tested positive:
Folks, what can I say. Dynamite show in Liverpool, really!
It’s just wonderful, insane, crazy, far out, hilarious and jaw-dropping: The Rolling Stones delivered in Liverpool one of the best shows, people have seen. That’s what folks say who have been there and who have seen many shows of this band. And even I (and you), following the streams as they came and were, could tell that this show was right on the spot. The band is in a fine mood and really playing tight, rocking for 2 hours straight. Again: wonderful. How proud we can be, to be fans for 60 years of such an extraordinary phenomenon like The Rolling Stones, fuck yeah.
Let’s see, what the press has to say. And below you’ll find the setlist with videos, as far as I could find ’em.
11 Connection – at the start, Keith had problems with his guitar. So he turns towards Steve, signalling him he has troubles and they should stop and restart the song. But Stve just kept on drumming. Meanwhile, Ronnie realised that there was some things going on. As the drumming kept on, Keith gave in and started to sing the song without playing his guitar while Ronnie covered his ass by trying to play both of their parts at once. Really cute. And one of the essential moments where you see the band staying tight, holding ground while the shit hits the fan. Wonderful. That’s why Keith says after thanking the crows that “Shit happens”…
12 Miss You
13 Midnight Rambler
14 Start Me Up
15 Paint It Black
16 Sympathy For The Devil
17 Jumping Jack Flash
I chose this video although it has only meagre sound quality. But the thing is: you can hear Keith hitting his Fender Tele ‘pada-baaaah, pada-baaahhh’ after the chorus in such a manner that you can get the idea how it hits you when you’re at the gig. I just love that power of JJF, really a true highlight at this place just before the encores …
Funny enough: less than a day until showtime and the song vote for Munich is still online. Liverpool’s choices nevertheless will appear at the same adress soon, I guess…
Mick strolled around town like he has done since the last tour. Here’s his take on the Beatles’ Liverpool:
So long since I’ve been in Liverpool – looking forward to Anfield tomorrow night! pic.twitter.com/b4lPk1550N
The Stones played again for 2 solid hours and 19 songs in Munich! First comments about the show tell of great and clear sound with the guitars strong in the mix (as it should be!), a great show and that the band was on fire. This for the good part.
The not-so-good part was that because of the weather conditions, they had to postpone the entrance by one hour. Then many folks with tickets couldn’t get in for the show start because queues were too long. That was not at all well managed. And then, for us folks looking on via the net, we could hardly find any stream to take part as the show rolled on.
The Rolling Stones play the Olympiastadium in Munich tonight.
Sure enough, we are going to follow this show as much as possible, although we’re not actually there. According to tweets, it has stopped raining! Reef rocked nicely, so now all are waiting for the Stones! Still some people are in cue for the LD tickets… curfew is 11PM.
Lalega Stones has had some sound problems, now he has stopped… (Facebook) stopped after Miss You
(until TD, singing along …) he just stopped – searching for streams … people enjoying the show, rather than stream the gig. So far, I can’t find any streams. But that could change at any moment …

Weather forecast predicts better conditions for the evening:
Concert promoters PGM tell this about changed opening times and the schedule:
TONIGHT’S CONCERT – THE ROLLING STONES – OLYMPIASTADION: ADMISSION
STARTS ONE HOUR LATER AT 6 PM
Due to the announced bad weather conditions with heavy rain, lightning and storm gusts this afternoon, the admission of the Rolling Stones concert at Munich’s Olympiastadion will be postponed by one hour from 5 to 6 pm.
This measure serves to protect the fans and all those involved in the production.
The Rolling Stones concert is currently scheduled to begin at 8:45 pm.
We ask all fans to adapt their clothing to the weather situation and to think of rain jackets, rain ponchos or similar. ATTENTION: Umbrellas are not allowed in the stadium!
The Olympiapark in Munich has two interesting webcams for us: once there, check out ‘Olympiastadion (West)’ and ‘Olympiastadion (Süd)’.
As for the weather forcast for today, the article TZ.de raises fears about severe weather conditions. Let’s hope for the best for the two most important hours this evening in Munich! I’ll keep you posted.
Yesterday, Keith congrats Charlie to his birthday:
What a night is was and what a show the bad put on!
Judging even from the so-so ‘quality’ of the streams yesterday, I for one had the impression, that the band played really well, tight and loud. The setlist, too, added to the fun. In a nutshell, they really surprised me. Especially Keith played very well. I think, his playing has improoved considerably.
And here’s the setlist with the YT videos I found so far!!
