12 years ago, on 20.08.1998 I saw the Stones for the first time in concert in Zagreb – Croatia. Before this concert i knew couple of Stones song but that day changed everything. I was 15 years ago and I ran away with my friend from home, we took the train and drove 500km to Zagreb. They camed to Zagreb after 22 years and there were 80.000 fans on the Hippodrome field waiting and showing that Croatia deserved more concerts.. This was the first bigger concert in Croatia since the war ended. The song that touched me most and I believe others too was Gimme Shelter, because war just ended here couple of years ago and we all felt this song really deep and emotional...My city was under bomb attack for five years and the frontline was just 10 km away «War, Children, it's just a shot away...» I also loved the way they performed Out of Control and I got to hear the famous Starfucke*,. But hey every 21 song they performed was a miracle for me! After this concert I've become a hard core fan of the Stones and now, 12 years later, still am.
I've been trying to find some photos of this concert but only found a couple of them. Please share your thoughts and photos if you were on this concert I would love to hear them.

hey Pelle, no need for harsh words. I had 3 people review the posting and 1998 s/h/b mentioned originally. Guess nobody can have fun on this board anymore.

OK, so i made a mistake I ment 1998. Thanks Pelle!

Happy anniversary! It's amazing how there are no videos of TV reports circulating, something I've discussed with Bitches Brew in emails. Thank God for the bootleg at least -- [www.iorr.org]
