There was a buzz in the air, and rumour had it he was going to sing Little Red Rooster with them when he opened in Oakland, 2006, but it never happened.
Great opening set though, and it was my first time seeing Van.
I also attended the Stones at Nijmegen, Netherlands, 2007 with Van opening, but the rain and thunder ended his set early and he never reappeared.
Another great set (albeit mini-set) by Van, and even though it was horrible weather, it was a heck of alot of fun. As a bonus, before the Stones came on, the clouds dispersed and there was no more rain.

Hi Hairball,
The announcer told us (in Dutch, so you may have missed it) that they were constantly communication with the KNMI weather center. The center told at some point (based on detailed moving satelite images) exactly when the rain would stop. Amazingly they were accurate within the minute! So the Stones knew when they could come on stage!
Too bad and too sad that Van Morrison and band were washed off from the stage. they were doing a good job.
I hope you did find shelter under the huge plastic sheets
Great concert. I was there with both my daughters.
