PEOPLE - Rockgeschichte: Rolling Stones mit Gratiskonzert in Havanna
March 25, 2016 - Havana, Cuba: Fans at the concert. The Rolling Stones and front man Mick Jagger rocked hundreds of thousands in Cuba's capital's Ciudad Deportiva, a sports complex with a capacity of 450,000, the human tide spilling beyond into the streets for a free concert. Fans even stood thick on neighboring rooftops to get a glimpse of history. This was the British superstars' first concert in Cuba and the first gig by any rock band that big, with a production featuring giant video screens and a sound system that got the crowd jumping, arms swaying, to classic after classic. Aging rockers Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Ronnie Wood and their sidemen gave a show that was among the most ambitious ever staged in Cuba, requiring 61 sea containers and a packed Boeing 747 filled with gear and equipment. Cuban police were out in large numbers, but remained discreetly to the sides during the concert. Many fans ignored an alcohol ban, bringing in bottles of rum, as well as puffing on fat Cuban cigars. After the show, the group tweeted: "Thank you Cuba for an incredible, unforgettable show! It was wonderful to see all of you!" -- a message also sent in Spanish -- with the hashtag.
