Rolling Stones October 8, 2006 in Regina

The Rolling Stones played their second show in 3 nights on Sunday. The weather for the show was quite a bit cooler than the Friday night show. The average temperature had to be around 1 to 3 degrees celsius during the show. It looked as though they had some heaters up on the stage but you could tell they were feeling the cold. Ronnie even put some gloves on because his hands were freezing. The show was very entertaining with a lot of energy being given off by their performance. Seeing Mick move around on the stage made everyone warm up a little. Some of the other highlights were the neat lights, some good camera work, and the pyrotechnics. The one surprising element that I didn’t expect was the stage that rolled into the middle of the stadium. That was a very well done technique and really got the entire audience involved. Then the huge inflatable lips back on the stage appeared out of nowhere and added to the overall effect. The band really tried to get everyone in the audience involved by moving around on the enormous stage, sometimes running back and forth. People have been saying that the Sunday show was better although it was shorter. On Sunday they played Angie which wasn’t played on Friday. This was the biggest concert ever in Regina and I’m sure it will be for a very long time to come. Everyone in Regina should send a huge thank you to the Rolling Stones since they chose us over all the other possible locations they could have gone to. Best of luck to them on the rest of their Bigger Bang Tour.
