When I left home for the No Filter US Tour 2019 early this summer, going on the road for almost three months, one of my very closest at home said “Enjoy your other family!” Those kind words have been with me on this tour, and they are always on my mind when I get homesick. After going to Stones shows all over the world for 46 years now, I have friends and Stones “family” all over the world. I get to meet them on tour. This is the story of my “other family”.

As we walked from the Jacksonville downtown area on our way to the Rolling Stones show at the TIAA Bank Field Friday evening July 19, 2019, we were passing by the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena. I wonder how many of the fans knew this was the location of the now demolished Jacksonville Coliseum, where The Rolling Stones first time played live in Jacksonville May 8, 1965 – fiftyfour years ago – almost three generations in time… Continue reading “The Rolling Stones in Jacksonville 2019”

New Orleans has been the home to a Rolling Stones concert five times over the years, every time at the Superdome. The last time The Rolling Stones performed a show in New Orleans was in 1994, i.e. 25 years ago.

Then Hurricane Barry turned up, and again there were trouble, but The Rolling Stones said “We are in this together”, the show got moved forward by one day, and then New Orleans got Satisfaction on Monday July 15!

Washington D.C. is an easy direct flight by United Airlines from Toronto. The show is in Landover, outside the city, so I have a hotel for three nights in Washington D.C., then one night in Landover.

This is card number three after three cities on this tour, I wonder how many cards I will have when the tour is over… Continue reading “The Rolling Stones in Washington D.C. USA 2019”
