Δέκα χρόνια πριν... / Rolling Stones - Bridges to Babylon

..
Έτυχε να δω την πρόσκληση της Catherine και της HeLEna (που ευχαριστώ πολύ) από το Για τα μάτια της Χουακίνα χθες, ακριβώς τη μέρα που συμπληρώνονταν 10 χρόνια από την εμφάνιση στην Αθήνα των Rolling Stones στα πλαίσια της Bridges to Babylon περιοδείας τους. Τη μέρα που πραγματοποιήθηκε το όνειρο να δούμε από κοντά ένα από τα μεγαλύτερα συγκροτήματα στην ιστορία του ροκ. Η ανυπομονησία μας ήταν μεγάλη, γι αυτό και ξεκινήσαμε από νωρίς και βρεθήκαμε τις 16 Σεπεμβρίου του 1998 στο Ολυμπιακό Στάδιο αρκετές ώρες πριν αρχίσει η συναυλία. Οι ώρες αυτές πέρασαν πολύ γρήγορα γιατί γινόταν ένα πραγματικό πανηγύρι. Ήταν ευκαιρία και για συνάντηση με φίλους και γνωστούς που είχα πολύ καιρό να δω. Θα μπορούσε να πει κανείς: "Πρέπει να είναι όλοι εδώ".
Τη συναυλία άνοιξαν τα "Ξύλινα Σπαθιά" που μάλλον ήταν αρκετά τρακαρισμένοι.
Οι Rolling Stones έστω κι αν ήλθαν μετά πολλά χρόνια από την εποχή της ακμής τους, έδειχναν αγέραστοι και μας χάρισαν μια καταπληκτική από όλες τις απόψεις βραδιά, αντάξια των προσδοκιών μας.
Δυστυχώς δεν υπάρχουν βίντεο στο από τη συναυλία στο Youtube, αλλά παρακάτω βρίσκονται κάποια κομμάτια από άλλες συναυλίες τους στα πλαίσια της ίδιας περιοδείας.
Κάποια στιγμή ελπίζω να ψηφιοποιήσω το υλικό που έχω από εκείνη τη βραδιά και να το αναρτήσω.

Gimme Shelter


'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Oh, a storm is threatning
My very life today
If I dont get some shelter
Oh yeah, Im gonna fade away

War, children, its just a shot away
Its just a shot away
War, children, its just a shot away
Its just a shot away

Ooh, see the fire is sweepin
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way

War, children, its just a shot away
Its just a shot away
War, children, its just a shot away
Its just a shot away

Rape, murder!
Its just a shot away
Its just a shot away

Rape, murder!
Its just a shot away
Its just a shot away

Rape, murder!
Its just a shot away
Its just a shot away

The floods is threatning
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Or Im gonna fade away

War, children, its just a shot away
Its just a shot away
Its just a shot away
Its just a shot away
Its just a shot away
I tell you love, sister, its just a kiss away
Its just a kiss away
Its just a kiss away
Its just a kiss away
Its just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away

(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction


''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm drivin' in my car
And that man comes on the radio
He's tellin' me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination
I can't get no, oh no no no
Hey hey hey, that's what I say

I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm watchin' my TV
And that man comes on to tell me
How white my shirts can be
But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarrettes as me
I can't get no, oh no no no
Hey hey hey, that's what I say

I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no girl reaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm ridin' round the world
And I'm doin' this and I'm signing that
And I'm tryin' to make some girl
Who tells me baby better come back later next week
'Cause you see I'm on losing streak
I can't get no, oh no no no
Hey hey hey, that's what I say

I can't get no, I can't get no
I can't get no satisfaction
No satisfaction, no satisfaction, no satisfaction

Shuffling through the street
Asking people, whats the matter with you boy?

Jumping Jack Flash



'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain,
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right. I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!

I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,
I was schooled with a strap right across my back,
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!

I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead.
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled.
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I was crowned with a spike right thru my head
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!

Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
Jumping Jack Flash

Brown Sugar


''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in a market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he's doing alright
Hear him with the women just around midnight

Brown sugar how come you taste so good?
Brown sugar just like a young girl should

Drums beating, cold English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wonderin' when it's gonna stop
House boy knows that he's doing alright
You shoulda heard him just around midnight

Brown sugar how come you taste so good, now?
Brown sugar just like a young girl should, now

Ah, get along, brown sugar how come you taste so good, baby?
Ah, got me feelin' now, brown sugar just like a black girl should

I bet your mama was a tent show queen
And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen
I'm no schoolboy but I know what I like
You shoulda heard me just around midnight

Brown sugar how come you taste so good, baby?
Ah, brown sugar just like a young girl should, yeah

I said yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
How come you...how come you taste so good?
