LOL. The only time I ever saw a Stones show shortened for weather was Chicago '06 when the temperature was in the range of 7 degrees Celsius and Mick complained he "couldn't feel his feet."
Opening night in DC in '94 was likewise brutally hot with a healthy dose of humidity added to the mix. They played 27 songs however.

great observation by Alwyn Welch:
"Only Keith seemed to me to be immune to the heat – but then he loves the Caribbean, and is playing like a man possessed in the last few gigs – he probably just switched off his body’s heat sensors. "
True! Keith is playing great. I noticed this during the shows I attended in the U.S. last year, he was so engaged!

Thought the stadium security did an excellent job under tough conditions. Instead of focusing on an enforcement role, they were on top of the health risks, distributing water, and quickly getting to, assessing the condition of, and carrying out our fallen show comrades so they could receive quick attention.

One weird thing with security was the lack of any sort of screening on the way in. No metal detectors or bag check. First big show I’ve been to in a long time where it’s been so wide open.

Can't speak for the whole of Brussels, but it was the same there, were I got in.

Dean Goodman gives more details on Mick's struggles:
"...the band scrapped “Gimme Shelter” after he started losing his voice. Of course we don’t know
if his issues are heatwave-related or something else,and whether he will be OK for Paris on Saturday.".
"It’s a real shame because Mick had been singing much better than in Vienna. A pretty good show now becomes pretty historic with the absence of “Gimme Shelter,”'
"Bernard did more singing on “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” than Mick did, and at the end Mick could be seen speaking animatedly with Keith who shrugged
in agreement as they left the stage for the encore. Correctly this time, I assumed it would be a one-song deal and that “Gimme Shelter” would be shelved".
Full review: Lyon
Only four more to go in what has become a series of shows with many ups and downs, and twists and turns along the way.
Hope Mick is feeling better, and fully recovers for Paris and the final stretch of the last few shows.
