Twenty-seven years ago I first traveled to a rock show out of my home country and that trip was to the Olympiastadion in Munich to see an old English rock band that started out in the early sixties of the last century. Would you have told me 1990 that I will be around for the full second half of their career and see them eighteen more times I would have called you crazy.
Now I was back at the Olympiastadion with some 65’000 other fans. Tickets to the pit where €799 and a seat close to the stage in front of the standing area came at €499. Even if I could pay that much I would not, and so I went with the Luck Dip lottery tickets for €65 that can end you up anywhere in the stadium and i ended up in the Pit.
The Rolling Stones blew my Mind back in the early June of 1990 and they did it now again. Seeing them up close revealed something beautiful to me and that was them having a blast. Everbody up on stage was visibly having a fantastic mood and it seemed to me that really everyone was heartfully enjoying to rock out. And yes there where imperfections, but wasn’t that always the case with the Stones? This night was not about the little imperfections, but all about the joyful little smiles between everyone who was on stage.
As it happens from time to time I came home with a little audio souvenir. But sorry, this time it’s only just a souvenir of a fan having an amazing time rockin’ along with the band in the Pit. It therefore has some imperfections, but I don’t care and I hope you don’t either too much. It was just too hard to stand still the whole time and you can hear that on the tape here and there, but I hope you’ll enjoy it anyway…
