I'm listening to Olympia and wow: what a great show! Great setlist, great crowd! Who was there and wants to share some stories?

I was there!!!
My 1st Stones club gig ever, and their 1st Olympia concert since my birth.

It was really a great concert, and I really like the version of Midnight rambler.
This night's treat IMO was Shine a light.

Ronnie left the hotel obviously drunk in the afternoon, but his performance was good.
I was really happy with show, and I hope someday a video will show up, since the show was filmed in its entierty.

Anecdote : Carla Bruni was there. I also met Joe Strummer, and french singer Patrick Bruel. Jack Nicholson and Jerry Hall were in the balcony, and Jagger's son who was pretty young was seated between them.

Great memories from that show including the queue to get tix.
I saw Mrs Richards's underpants (white ones) this evening.
I remember Bert (Keith's father) and Rita Mitsuko too.
Carla Bruni talked to me and she's very tall.
MR followed by Rip this joint were great.

This is great material. Is there possibilty that you could post a few more tracks. In particular Tumbling Dice, Wild Horses, Like A Rolling Stone, Slipping Away and IORR as this would complete the show for me?

Offcourse, first thing in the morning! I'm sitting behind another computer now.

Great! Thanks very much mr edward.

I'll post the tracks in the trade section.

Thanks very much, I am going there now . . . .

You'll find the complete show lossless as a torrent on Rocks Off
French made 95 (the VGP recording)

the greatest show i ever seen....
i was 13 years old.........

great memories for sure
strong all down the line
great shattered

and such a midnight rambler

I was at l’ Olympia in 95 for the voodoo lounge. They were … great, after hell’s concerts at longchamp it was completely different, without artefacts & big stadium stage, ... stripped. it was amazing to see them that intimate, like a private show, almost too much. they were so good & play so well .
Great setlist, let it bleed, meet me in the bottom, shine a light, ron wood’s guitar drop down in rip this joint intro, Rock’n’Roll…
There was a lot of french“people”, it was funny to see joe strummer talkin to jack lang (culture’s minister), patrick bruel(french singer) get booed by everybody, stones‘s family at the balcony, keith’s father, mick’s son spill some coke over public’s head, Jack nicholson stand up on his seat, went nuts on jumpin’ jack flash.
As I remember, it was a really weird period in my life & in a way the stones & the blues really save me.Thank you so much.

Missed out on a ticket drop that day at the Hotel Warwick by minutes

Oh, to have had a cellphone back in 1995....

Yeah neat, thanks for those tracks. they sound great.
all links worked - exept !!! ->> Connection <<- !!! could someone please repost it.

I had to leave the day before the show to pick up keys for a Time Share in the Cote d'azur. F#@* Me!

We found out about the show during the Longchamps shows but couldn't change the plan. Friends went and LOVED it. Got to be there 8 years later. The wait was painful but worth it.
