Before Brian's departure the Rolling Stones to me were these five amazing musicians, my "big brothers". Brian's departure and sudden death sort of changed my emotional link to the band. They became a powerful entity worth breaking the "laws" for (don't worry, I didn't become a criminal ). Nothing could stop them. Off course I, in no way, could have believe

Nice footage. And historic indeed. Another "rumour" was that basically only kids whose parents were member(s) of the Communist Party could get tickets. Long live equality & democracy ...
