Well, about 4-5 songs in, I offered to buy Fernando the OLE t-shirt.
Totally sincere, offer made, call me ;-).
Ya made my night, and it's my b-day, and a steady, dependable periscope, on the screen, thru rain haze catching MJ shake his asss, masculine Keith stepping in w/ that guitar, yeah, I like these guys. To 'be live' makes my heart pound with witness.
Thank you all---

Wet wet wet. So wet! And such a great show. They took all the rain, like us. Ronnie was wet, Mick was wet, and Keith went out with Mick in the rain when the first major showers started during Paint It Black.

Ronnie did his best ever Rambler solo and I don't know why or how but he just went into his own world over by Sasha and Bernard and played and played and played. Then as he was finished like a minute or two overtime he went over to Keith just like this was business as usual. It was not. It was amazing.

Charlie refused to go out into the rain when Mick tried to tease him out there during the presentations. No way Charlie said. He is the oldest so he is the boss when it comes to rain stuff.

Everything I had at the show is now up for drying. I had a poncho but I gave it to our new friend from Litauen. Great company at the show. My flight to Lima takes off at 6:25am that is in less than five hours from now. I just hope my cloths dry up a little before that, have to leave in 3 hours, may be two hours sleep. Have to check the rainy pictures first.

Set list wet. Money wet. My own few notes wet. Great with a hot shower and dry cloths, and to stay just half an hour walk from the venue.

Thank you Brazil for two weeks in Stonesland. I will never forget.

My God, did it rain through the show tonight (about the same as Bergen a few years ago !!!) but what an awesome display from the Stones, absolutely faultless from start to finish. I'm sure the rain took care of the 19th song, not a surprise and an hours' walk back to the Hotel afterwards drenched through. Fabulous time here with Andre, Cristiano, Tony, Paul and a whole host of people that have made this trip truly special. Next stop for me, after flying home to the UK, Havana.......

Satisfied since 1976

A very special thank you to Fernando who gave us full live viewing and sound of the full concert. It was awesome. Thank you also to everyone else here who spoke about and filled in the gaps of parts I didn't notice and who also gave their own thoughts about our awesome Stones and other band members. I will continue to follow here because I'm sure more comments will be made. What a night! Truthfully, I'm happy a got to enjoy in my comfortable home rather than that nasty weather. lol. It's certainly a concert to be remembered with all that rain and Mick's raincoats. What troopers!!! Hope we get some good youtube videos also.

Fantastic picture of Mick! WOW

Does anyone know? Has Keith been doing his rainstick ritual this tour? I was told he always does. They seem to be getting rained on lately during this tour, although this concert was definitely the worse. I'm pretty sure I saw at least one pic of Keith with his rainstick during the Zipcode tour ... they didn't get rained on once during that whole tour. In one city, it had been pouring rain. About a minute before 9pm, a double rainbow appeared in the sky, the rain stopped, and the Stones hit the stage.

As Chris was saying, this was a fantastic performance by The Stones on a really special night.
In my opinion this was the best show out of the four in Brasil , which were all great anyway.
My new friend Marcelo from Argentina also said this about all the shows so far , and he will have seen all the shows in SA by the time he gets to Bogota.
The rain really started around Paint it Black I think. Maybe even earlier.
When you get wet in the rain and you just can't get any wetter, you just couldn't care less then.
Mick and Ronnie were wearing clothing and hats that they don't usually wear,but Keith just got wet like us and seemed to love it. They didn't spend any less time on the catwalk, including Sasha, who still even done her little dance in the rain in high heels.
Somebody mentioned she fell over at the final bow but I must have missed that.
I really do think the band really enjoyed it out there and they just carry on as usual in really adverse conditions.
Another thing I was very happy about with my four gigs in Brasil was the fact that my two concession Idosa tix for being an old geezer, got me into premium pista at Rio and PA half price. Not even interested in ID and stuff like that. Ticket scanned and I was in.

I love the Twitter footage of Ronnie playing in the pouring rain. Clearly, modern technology permits this without him getting electrocuted. I am sure guitar techs out there can elaborate!

For those of us who can't see embedded videos, could you please include the https version of the link as well?

According to Folha de Sao Paulo, the best show in Brazil was in Porto Alegre.

Who is the best wife? Who is the best husband? Who is the best son or daughter? Nobody can tell, it is all personal. But it was a great performance in the rain!

Official setlist and a chance to see if you recognise anybody you know in the front row

No pyro at the end. Guess the rain ahut that down.

Amazing show last night in POA! Heavy rain couldn´t stop the greatest rock ´n´ roll band on earth. We were all absolutely wet, Mick, Keef and Ronnie too.
They really enjoy the show but a special mention to Mick, what a beautiful attitude, endurance and leadership!

Ruby Tuesday a gem.

Best show? Whatever...it doesn´t matter!
It was my last show of the emotional and intense Olé Tour.
Unforgotten!

Cristiano, thank you very much for getting a ticket for me.

Cheers
Alejandro

Awesome close up pics in the review thread, BV.

Did anyone save the audio from Fernando's scope?

Now once again, only reading the setlist, this time I want to comment that it must have been a deeply fascinating sequence of songs to receive
"Let's Spend the Night Together"
"Ruby Tuesday"
and
"Paint It Black",
in a row, thereby obtaining a special kind of freshness about the songs.
Nice then also to have those three songs, followed by
"Honky Tonk Women". That is, one 60s singles session within the concert.

Que publico tão espetacular Porto Alegre! Vocês foram demais na chuva!
