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

The Rolling Stones marked their first appearance at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival with a vibrant 18-song set. Despite the humid weather affecting their performance, the band played classics and new tracks from their 2023 album "Hackney Diamonds." Special moments included local legends joining them on stage, such as Irma Thomas for "Time Is on My Side" and Dwayne Dopsie during "Let it Bleed."

The performance was notably special for the Stones due to previous cancellations in 2019 and 2020, making their eventual appearance feel like a triumph. Despite some setbacks with the weather and wardrobe adjustments, the band delivered an engaging show, highlighted by interactions with the crowd and a mix of old hits and new songs, ending the night with the iconic "Satisfaction."
