20 years ago : Stones in Luxembourg

Their only show in this small country.
Cloudy rainy day, but a dry concert, thanks to a weather chnage in the late afternoon.

Who was there ?
I was and I am still wondering if anyone remembers the name of the 1st opening act who performed before Big Country.

I was there and I'm sorry to say that it was not one of the best 1995 tour experiences. A large field outside of Luxembourg, the rain stopped in time for the show, but it was still muddy & wet... What sticks in my mind are the many fuckups by the band and missed cues by Mick - funny, but clearly not one of their better shows!

I was there... Many fans coming in from nearby countries like Belgium and The Netherlands.

Was there, but sorry forgot the first group. My funny story about this gig was I had a backstage pass given to me in Mannheim (after the gig) for Luxembourg. When I got there they didn't want to honor but ended up letting me in the VIP tent. Guess Bernard Fowler was the only guy that showed up in there but I missed it. Had a great time anyhow. The other funny thing was a comment made by a local that 90% of the crowd wasn't from Luxembourg. He was a little upset about that. Come to think of it there are a lot of foreigners that live and work there.

I totally agree, I remember that Keith turned his back to Mick during a good part of the show.
It was one of the rare shows with Happy this summer

Yep, lotsa bad vibes... But it was close to the end of the tour, and they probably had enough of each other after almost two years of touring.

Still for people not used to see them much, and thus unable to notice the difference it was a great night

I was there.

It was for me the last show of the European Tour, but not the best show.

I remember heavy rain before the show, so the field was muddy, totally muddy.

I was there front row... and that wasn't a very good spot as the stage was very very high.

I don't remember any particular highlight musically speaking.

The last show of the Voodoo Lounge tour 3 days later in Rotterdam was a much better gig !
