Rolling Stones Perform ‘Time Is on My Side’ With New Orleans Legend Irma Thomas at Steamy Jazz Fest: Concert Review


At New Orleans Jazz Fest, the Rolling Stones performed with two local legends, including Irma Thomas, who originally recorded 'Time Is on My Side.'

“We haven’t done a matinee show in years,” Mick Jagger observed drolly, halfway through The Rolling Stones ’ first appearance at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival on Thursday evening. The ever-reliable Ron Wood — who covered many bases during the evening’s performance — moved to lap steel and the band gave Dopsie the solo spot; Keith Richards seemed to just barely graze his guitar strings (not that the song needed more) while beaming at their guest. “Miss You” fared better, even though Jagger would have been better off eschewing the electric guitar he dons for the briefest of moments for the harmonica he picked up at the end, at least in New Orleans where a large majority of the audience has genuine appreciation and respect for a good harp player; there was audible applause when he finished.
