for what its worth, the BBC's website today featured a pic of Keith from the show and gave the crowd as "over 40,000"

Glad your friend enjoyed it. Always great to see the Stones reaching new audiences.

Les Stones enthousiasment le Monténégro lors d'un concert face à la mer
Par Jovan MATIC

BUDVA (Monténégro), 10 juil 2007 (AFP) - Les légendaires Rolling Stones ont enthousiasmé lundi soir quelque 30.000 spectateurs sur la plage de Budva, la principale station balnéaire monténégrine, lors de leur premier concert au Monténégro.
Dès les premiers accords de «Start me up» le public, toutes générations confondues, composé de Monténérins mais aussi de ressortissants des pays voisins et de touristes étrangers, a été subjugé par les «pappies» du rock qui totalisent plus 252 ans à eux quatre.
Le concert qui rentre dans le cadre de la tournée mondiale des Stones, lancée en août 2005, a constitué une sorte de revue de leurs principaux succés : «Let's spend the night together», «Tramblin' dice», «Satisfaction», «Sympathy for the devil», «Honky tonk woman», «Jumpin' Jack flash».
Ce concert même s'il n'a pas répondu entièrement aux attentes des organisateurs qui comptaient sur un minimum de 50.000 entrées, était principalement destiné, de par son caractère prestigieux, à rehausser l'image de marque du Monténégro qui depuis son indépendance l'année dernière mise essentiellement sur le tourisme.
«Quatorze milliards d'années après le Big-Bang le Monténégro en vit un autre grace aux Rolling Stones», a titré le quotidien Vjesti en présentant le concert du groupe mythique.
«C'était très spectaculaire. Ca a dépassé tous mes espérances», disait après le concert Olga Makarova, une étudiante russe de 21 ans en vacances à Budva. «Nous avions peur que les Stones ne tiendraient pas le coup. Mais leur energie et leur vivacité nous a surpris», renchérissait son amie Claudia Brilliantova.
De fait en dépit de leur âge Charlie Watts, Ron Wood et Keith Richards, sont apparus en grande forme avec un Mick Jagger sautillant et qui n'a cessé, au cours des deux heures du spectacle, d'arpenter la scène, large de 70 m, parfois même en courant.
Par amour du rock un groupe d'Albanais du Kosovo, pourtant dissuadés par leur entourage qui craignait de possibles agressions, a quand même fait le voyage du Monténégro pour saluer leurs idoles.
«On m'a dit que cela pourrait être dangereux. Mais je suis un trop grand fan des Stones pour rater une occasion pareille. Le rock est une bonne manière d'unir les gens», déclarait Shefqi Krasniqi, 30 ans venu de Orahovac (centre du Kosovo).
Diverses personnalités, dont le président monténégrin Filip Vujanovic et son homologue bulgare Gueorgui Parvanov, ont assisté au concert.
Les Rolling Stones étaient venus dans l'ex-Yougoslavie en 1976, à Zagreb, dans le cadre de la tournée «Black and Blue» mais n'avaient encore jamais joué au Monténégro ou en Serbie.
Après le concert à Buddva les Stones sont attendus avec impatience à Belgrade le 14 juillet pour un premier concert en Serbie.
L'année dernière, un concert de Stones programmé dans la capitale serbe pour début juillet avait du être annulé en raison de l'incident dont avait été victime Keith Richards, tombé d'un cocotier aux îles Fidji.

thank`s arizojp for posting.

ahem, let me rephrase that: do you have a link handy to the BBC story about the Stones at Budva?
i don't see anything about the show on the "entertainment" page

The total time elapsed for the show was the norm... They played YCAGWYW and MR back to back which are two long numbers... It would be nice though if they would cram 25 songs in the two hours they are out there...

Would it be of some interest to make a short collection of the 31 SMU of this leg to capture those very first 30" in different european countries.

30.000?? you forgot to mention the 20.000 goats!That makes 50.

No story, just the photo of Keith

Pic was there at the time of his post, but i dont see it now. Anyway found the page in browser history: [news.bbc.co.uk]

I trust BBC to the detriment of AFP, bloody french.

>> Anyway found the page in browser history <<

thank you mbhawk

I was there and I can say it was absolutely fantastic!!! I was not more than 10 meters away from the stage!

Official sources say that the turn-out was about 50,000. I am not sure about that number, but I would say it was not less 40,000.... and I didn,t see any goats around :-). Remember that Montenegro population is only around 650,000.

The show lasted for approximately 2 hrs (I expected 2-3 songs more).

This was the first time that we had such a concert in Montenegro (as far as I remember the most famous band that had a concert here was Gipsy Kings a few years ago). Rolling Stones were the last ones that anybody around here would have expected to see in our country until a couple of months ago when the rumours started.

My ears are still ringinggggggggggg !!!!!

But 2 longer songs on #5 and #6 (YCAGWYW and Rambler), I guess that makes up for losing a song.

Keith almost fell twice?!? As if he was dying?!? I take it he survived the show, right?

Well the Budva was 1h 55m long. Just as long as the Roma show, which had a 19 song setlist.

I didn't arrive on time to hear Dado Topic since his band appeared quite early and, therefore, not many people were there either when he was on stage. I don't know about the song you mentioned, I only heard that he modified one of his older songs and dedicated the new version to the Stones. I guess he performed it, but I'm not sure.

If you did not see them, I wonder what kind of food that was available at the concert?
Goats Head Soup?

Senior Food Critic IORR

?Remember Vilvoorde?
94 concerts & counting

bartfrombrussels asks: "What's the goat population of Montenegro? Less than 650.000?"

According to wikipedia, 684,736... July estimate.
