Reduced price due to dvd having small surface marks

Saturday the 19th of September 1998 saw the conclusion of the Bridge To Babylon tour, which had kept the band on the road for almost a year. The very last show of the tour took place at Ali Sami Yen Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey, and are presented on this dvd. This show was the nearest show from the ancient city of Babylon, and the first for the band in Turkey. The audience was really crazy but the show had been shortened down and the band only played 2 songs on the small stage. At the beginning Mick had some voice problems and after Satisfaction he went backstage to ask for more mix on his microphone. To our surprise, he made his usual sexy game with Lisa during Miss You, and the crowd went hysterical. Keith said it was the last show, so they could have some extra fun, as friends came on stage to do some backing vocals. We could see one of Keith’s Jamaican friends singing a bit backing vocals during Thief In The Night, and a few minutes later, Lisa brought Mick’s son with her on stage during the intro of Honky Tonk Women. Paint It Black was the perfect song for the night, and a must for Istanbul, with it’s oriental harmonics. And Mick introduced it as influenced by Turkish music. Then Keith played his soul into the intro. Too bad Charlie was already dreaming of being home in England, because no drums took over, the drums that makes Paint It Black so great. Keith turned his head, looking at Charlie, turned, walked back ten feet or so to Charlie, and then, as he had kept it alive with his added guitar chords, there he was, Charlie, Mr. Paint It Black, bringing it all alive with his great drumming. Keith was so strong on the guitar tonight, and Ronnie really played a lot of great guitar as well. Mick worked hard on the crowd, even if he did not run out on the wings as much as he use to do. The stadium was medium size only, may be 30,000 capacity for football, maximum. The field was only 60% full, and I would guess there were around 30,000 people in the crowd. But the fans who came made a great show and a great crowd – a nice closing of this tour.
