The concerts supporting act was "The
Dave Matthews Band". They were very good but the audience didn't really
react. They we were all waiting for The Stones….. With the concert there
was another important event for the Dutch people: Our footballteam had
to play in the 1/8 finale of the Worldchampionship against Yougoslavia.
People had taken little televisions, radios and telephones to know the
score. With the first score form Holland the crowd went wild and just
after that the Stones came on stage.
They started with Satisfaction, it
was very spectacular with fireworks and light-effects. Everybody started
immediately singing and dancing. The next song was Let's Spend The Night
Toghether, another well-known song, so all the people knew it and sang
along. There was an enormous video screen and when The Stones played Anybody
Seen My Baby there were parts of video clip on the screen. The seventh
song was Saint Of Me and Mick played the guitar.
When they walked back to the main
stage, they shook hands and waved. Meanwhile the game of the Netherlands-Yougoslavia
was over and the final score was 2-1. Again the crowd went wild, Keith
wanted to say something but it didn't work, the crows made too much noise,
he just laughed and waited for the audience to calm down again. They following
song was Sympathy For The Devil which was performed fabulous. With the
last song Jumping Jack Flash there was a lot of fireworks and the Stones
went and came back for an encore: Brown Sugar. And again there were fire-works.
On the whole I found it a marvellous
concert, the guys were great and the sound didn't sound that bad to me
as some might say of the Arena…Less great was that we had to stand still
on a parking lot for over an hour, afterwards!! It was 3 in the morning
( not in the afternoon !!) when we came home ( Not very nice, when you
have to stand up at 7 to go to school!) The only songs in the concert
I missed were my 2 favourites: Angie & You Can't Always Get What You Want.
I really have to do this over some time, I can't wait for my next Stones
concert!!
