A Dream Came True!

31 years after their first show in Greece, the ROLLING STONES were back again . The most important band of our planet gave the biggest Rock experience to the 79,400 fans (official number) that filled the Olympic Stadium. Everybody was there: From 50-year-olds who were lucky enough to watch the Stones since their early days, to 18-year-olds , who - like every generation of teenagers since the 60's- see the Stones as the most authentic expression of Rock N' Roll.

The Rolling Stones were onstage at 21:35. As soos as Keith played the first notes from the famous reef of Satisfaction, the public went crazy. The whole Stadium sang this classic hit together with Mick Jagger . Whenever Mick talked to the audience or performed any of his sexy dance moves, the fans' reactions reached a zenith.

As you can see on the Setlist, the Rolling Stones performed many old hits but also 5 songs from their latest album, "Bridges To Babylon". The audience seemed ... well prepared, since most people were singing along with the band, at least the refrains. The end of "Saint Of Me" was very impressive, with the audience doing the "Oh Yeah!"s under Mick's supervision.

"She's A Rainbow" was the Web Choice for Athens. It was a pleasant surprise for me, as I too had voted for this song.

Lisa gave us excellent impressions with her vocals on "Gimme Shelter" and also her sexy onstage appearance. While performing "Miss You", Mick licked her toe, as usual.
