I know they probably wont cancel, but there is always the chance? Any thoughts ? I am nervous

I've been in the area since Tuesday and rain/thunderstorms have been predicted for every day, and it hasn't rained since Tuesday afternoon. Even if it does rain, the Rolling Stones will be playing, and I have tickets for section B row 20...not worried in the least about the weather!

Cool man. Im in section C row 21. Hope to see you. Also have section B row 13, but i think the center row 20 will be max visual+volume. Im going to give the row 13 to my two friends. Anyway, say hi !

Cool, I look forward to it!

I posted on the Columbus thread, but have you heard anything about a sound check?

I've seen the Stones before in the rain; Wembley 99 rained and Sheffield 99 absolutely lashed down.
That said, I'd rather it didn't rain and the possible thunderstorms could delay the show which would be a drag....

They're not likely going to cancel.

I just don't want to spend the day/night in the rain.

On scale, +5 at this point

is 1 very concerned and 10 not very, or vice versa?

I'm in your row!

As long as they keep playing, I hope it pours, pours, pours. It'll be fun and in the oncoming years we can be like, oh how 'bout that rainstorm in Columbus?

Like I said in the other thread, I don't care about rain, it's the thunderstorms that worries me.

I'm worried about time before factoring in the weather - I need to be to work at 8:30 AM on Sunday in Rochester, NY; 6 and a half hours from Columbus. So if traffic getting out of the show is bad enough, I'm looking at basically going straight to work without even stopping off home in between. Factor in possible delays for weather, not looking good

Yeah, I have to drive back to Indianapolis after the show, not as far as you nor do I have to get to work but I do have to be up at 8am so was hoping for a bit more than 3 hrs sleep; especially as I'm at a show in Chicago tonight and won't be home until 3am...Thunderstorms could easily push back stage time to 10 or 11pm...

I just hope its not as bad as Churchill Downs .....

I never got an answer about whether "1" was very concerned and "10" not concerned, or vice versa, so I am going to have to play it safe and say that I'm a "5"

I'll have a 20 foot flagpole in the lot, so as long as I'm not near it when lightning strikes (or someone has a 21 foot flagpole that attracts the lightning!) I'm not too worried.

Roll on Stones.

The best show I saw by far on the Voodoo Lounge tour was in Philadelphia in a driving rainstorm.

You know, like a pain scale, how much pain do you feel, on a scale from one to ten?
1=almost none at all, 10=maximum (concern.)

It's going to be an actual crossfire hurricane

Yeah sry I just assumed it was like the pain scale. 1 is not concerned and 10 is very. Sorry about not clarifying that

0 THE SHOW GOES ON....WE'LL BE THERE picked up a pancho on amazon for $15 fits in back pocket i'm ready

0, since I won't be there but I do hope it doesn't cause problems for people who are there.

On the other hand a huge lightening and thunder event is just what Gimme Shelter needs to add a bit of danger and excitement these days.

A huge display as the Stones take the stage, Keiths opening chords harmonized by Thor's contribution from the sky, that could be pretty magical.

peace
