Stones in town, stadium getting ready for big show

[www.youtube.com]

Great video! Including a great interview with production manager Dale "Opie" Skjerseth. From the interview:

- 83 traveling crew members
- 25 production trucks
- 20 trucks of steel
- 56 hours to build stage

Tomorrow is declared Rolling Stones day by the mayor. There are sold more than 50,000 tickets so far.

Here is the story and a video from the mayor and the Stones day declaration:

Good luck!... My 11 years old son attended the Stones twice (2017, 2018) so far, but no suspense, as his most favorite song is a "warhorse". He calls the song "Gas", despite the fact that the rest of the planet is calling it "Jumpin Jack Flash"...

Have great time everyone going to the gig on Friday night……..and loads of us from all over the world, watching it all come through on IORR.
Know quite a few of you who will be there, and you will certainly be enjoying your time in Jacksonville area.

Anyone who does know their location should keep it to themselves. Posting their hotel ain't cool.

It's easy to figure out where they are staying: the best hotel in Jacksonville.

Hi Where are all the stones fans heading tonight pre show in Jacksonville??

Thanks

Jase (UK)

It’s 10:15pm eastern and we were supposed to be in Jacksonville two hours ago. But we are on our third try to get there from San Antonio. Air traffic problems then mechanical, cancelled fight. Next one delayed and not make it tonight. Then changed to flight to Orlando and planned to rent a car. Then delayed for hours. Found a different flight and now in air to Nashville then Jacksonville. Should arrive about 1:30 am. The things we do to see our band. I can’t wait!!!

Don’t think that they are all in the same place but aint’ saying the “confirmed” sightings” either. Lots of really stoked people here for the show (including me).I will say that getting into the arena today was a big thrill for me....the videographer for the Keith’s side was like “what!?! You got in?” When I told him.

And you don't sound even angry after all the hassle.

no rock 'n' roll show, it's a pilgrimage.

Nice one, Mr. Mayor of Jacksonville! He should get a medal and the rest of the week off

Have fun everyone. Barry

Anybody in the venue?

How long to Stones on stage now?

frtylicks--the vote is a total fraud. Cloud will win.

This didn't age very well

Monkey Man winning tonight I think officially debunks the "total fraud" claims. Also bolsters my theory of how now that it takes some effort to vote, the more hardcore fans are deciding the winners.
