Stones, SARS
After Saturday's Steely Dan concert in Honolulu, roadies quickly broke down the sound system in order to get the gear to Hong Kong, in preparation for two Rolling Stones shows there Nov. 7 and 9. The Stones were originally set to play in Hong Kong back in March, but canceled due to the SARS epidemic. But in a surprise reversal, the band agreed to perform at Harborfest, a special weeks-long concert intended to boost the Hong Kong economy, which has suffered due to the epidemic. The Stones made a similar gesture in July, when they took part in a concert in SARS-scared Toronto.
