The Rolling Stones/April 20,1998/Montreal,Quebec

This is the only time I've seen The Stones in concert. They were promoting their "Bridges to Babylon" album at the time. Once again,the WIZN Wizard Bus provided me with a great seat on the left side of the stage. The seat was so good,in fact, that I found myself making eye contact with Charlie Watts (drums) more than once.

"Satisfaction" was the opening song this night. From then onward the band did a few new tracks and a bunch of oldies. From my vantage point I could see the loose interaction between Keith and Ronnie. They were laughing and carrying on while playing. At one point the band walked to a smaller stage in the middle of the crowd and played a few songs.

Lisa Fischer (backup vocals) was very visible from my seat,and she nicely took time to flirt with the crowd from time to time. Occasionally I forgot about the band while watching her.

While it was fun to make the pilgrimage to see the legendary band,I have not had the urge to see them again.
