20 years ago today, my first Stones' concert - Longchamp!

What a memory, my first Stones' concert, at Longchamp, June 30, 1995. I was 17, it was unbearably hot, a fantastic show with an amazing Gimme Shelter.

I thought that was the last time I'd see them (I saw them 12 more times)!

Anyone else was there that night? It was the first of 2 Longchamp concerts.

What a hot day. I remember paying a fortune for a can of Coke near the stage.
Bon Jovi was a pain in the ass. Wasn´t Little Steven his guest on With a
Little Help From My Friends?

The Stones all came on with sunglasses on. What a great night with 80´000 people.

The next day we almost drowned..."We´re an all-weather-band" said Keith.

I was there. Super hot day, of course the next day was the opposite. The famous storm of Longchamps. I remember seeing the darkness roll in near the end of Bon Jovi's set. We were completely soaked in seconds. We all looked at each other and laughed. Never experienced anything like it. Don't recall which (if any) concert I prefer. They were both good. Connection was played too!

I missed the storm the following day.
I remember Bon Jovi (awful) and those hicks standing in front of us in full Bon Jovi outfits. They left before the Stones even started...
