Rolling Stones in Prag - 18 Aug 1990 (Urban Jungle Tour, Prague)

.. das war der Hammer ...


Urban Jungle Tour, Prague, August 1990

 





First time after the iron curtain fell the Stones
played in Prague. Hans, Karin & I were lucky to
attend this historic event. The journey to Prague
would alone fill a complete page .... but eventually we
arrived safely and in good time. It was a
scorching hot day  but as soon as the Stones
took to the stage, it started pouring with rain.


Czech president Vaclav Havel was among the
audience and had a special seat on the tribune.
We drove down to Prague in one go and back to
Berlin right after the show .... in the middle
of the night and more dead than alive  - but
it was fantastic. Hans kept me entertained so
that I couldn't fall asleep at the steering wheel
while Karin crashed out on the backseat
of the car
....



I remember that Hans emptied one bottle of
JD during the drive and the whole car was
smelling like a whiskey barrel ....
We still had to present our passports at the border,
and I remember the Czech custom officials
threwing strange looks at us ....

Boy, that was a night to remember.
