The first time I saw The Rolling Stones


It was on September 16 1998, when they came for a concert in Athens. This was in fact their second concert in Greece. The first one was in 1967, but it was before my time and it ended in riots anyway, with the police storming in and stopping the concert.
Anyway, in 1998 I did not have a camera with me (digital cameras were very expensive back then), but here are the relevant news report from the Greek television
