The RollingStones wish fans 'Happy CanadaDay' at lone Canadian concert on No Filter Tour stonesnofilter
’ Canada Day show at the lush 600-acre Burl’s Creek Event Grounds in Oro-Medonte on Saturday was supposed to be the band’s last stop -- and only Canadian date -- on its No Filter Tour, but after singer Mick Jagger’s emergency heart surgery in April and remarkably fast recovery, the show became the third date on the now-rescheduled North American leg, ending Aug. 31 in Miami.
The Stones have had a long history with Canada, particularly the Greater Toronto Area: Keith Richards was busted for heroin possession in 1977, leading to the band playing a court-ordered free charity concert at the Canadian National Institute For the Blind in Oshawa; portions of 1977'swere recorded at the El Mocambo in Toronto.
An estimated 60,000 people took in the show, according to figures provided by Republic Live, who bought the show from AEG Presents.“Gold Circle” fans were in the closest section, while general admission folks of all ages stood and danced further back; some chilled at the far end to get more personal space in the beautiful setting surrounded by trees and greenery.
After “Sad Sad Sad,” Jagger also thanked everyone “for coming out here in the middle of the country,” then introduced the song that the public voted on out of four choices for the band to play -- the psychedelic beauty “She’s A Rainbow,” whose familiar opening was played by long-time Stones keyboardist Chuck Leavell.
