The VIP area was a place full of sons of a bitch that knew nothing about the Stones. A lot of motherfuckers. When I got home I watched the tape recorded from TV and it was disgusting when the VIP area was showed, everybody chating and drinking champagne. Ridiculous.

What a time!!! I always fantasized about seeing the Stones when I went to the beach; you know, 'hey they should set up a stage right here and play!' Well this time the fantasy came through. I saw this event coming for awhile and made the overseas connections back in November. The flight to Rio was smooth, even arrived early. My former 'Cane suite-mates (from Mahoney Hall, JB!) from Brazil, Ulysses and Guenther, picked me up late Thursday evening and then began a sleepless weekend with more chemicals than I have seen in YEARS!! We partied at my buds' condo in downtown all Friday and then headed to the beach at first light on Saturday morning--we thought we'd be first! Not quite....several thousand already. The beach area was a trip...as were we....we floated back and forth all day from one end of the beach to the other. English was widely spoken...at least the words 'smoke' and 'lighter?' :-) My poor Portugese was so bad that any Brazilian I spoke too answered me in English! The beach was a free-for-all by noon-time; temps in the 80's, all sun, and every alcoholic beverage and chemical known to Christendom since 942 A.D. was in abundance....vendors of every persuasion. Not that we needed anything additional. It almost reminded me of some of the wilder Dead shows I've been at. Anyway, we floated in the back for the opening bands, to whom no one payed much attention. Then the familiar intro sequence...we floated forward by water's edge. There were dozens of boats and even a few ships right off the beach to watch the show. Brazilians are too polite for their own good and we infiltrated almost to the B-stage by the time the opening fireworks and JJF began! We expected a safe setlist and got it, but the performances were top notch. Woodie was a tad more focused and played many fine solos and Mick and Charlie were spot on. But I thought the star was Keith, who looked tanned, roasted, and ready! He was on fire all night and it was good to see, especially after some unfocused dates in the US. 'Wild Horses' 'Nightime' and 'Sympathy' stood out for me...I'd give the show a 7 out of 10 on setlist but a 8.5 out of 10 on performance (which is an '11' for any other band!). We partied on the beach by stage side for another hour after the show before picking our way through the masses. Ulysses had a driver waiting for us after a six block walk and we got back to the condo at 4-ish A.M. Three more hours of winding down and then we slept all day 'till dusk. Violating Steve Martin's injunction we fired up all cylinders again and hit a steakhouse to soothe the ensuing munchies from smoke and two days of snow and no food...those South Americans KNOW steak! Lots of fine Argentinian red wine and then French cognac, then Cuban cigars (Uppman Churchills for those interested), then rest and the flight out Monday evening got me to New York and then R.I. by this morning.
I can't fucking believe I saw the Stones on a beach! In another country!!!! I have no scale by which to guess the crowd size....it seemed at least ten times the size of Moncton and that was 100,000 people...but who knows? Certainly this was the largest crowd I've ever seen! This was a partying crowd and a young crowd....very unlike the States where a lot of oldsters predominate and old farts bitch about smoking and standing up. Despite the partying the crowd was well behaved--I saw security doing nothing other than dancing. The crowd where I was, in front of the B-stage on the water side, was VERY into it! Much more animated than the typical US crowd. Brazil also seems to have a disproportionate number of hot babes....also welcome at Stones shows--as is their sunbathing style
:-)!! btw, the first thing you get asked as an American overseas is if you are 'for Bush'. If you are, the reaction is uniformly unkind. Fortunately Rhode Island is known as a Democrat state and I merely state where I am from and foreigners just nod in sympathy with our predicament. Only those who have never left the confines of their USA cocoon can be ignorant of how much our stock has fallen overseas since the Clinton era.
I must crash now....more to come!!!

Eu Fui! Obrigado Boys!
Lonecrap was there and am proud of it. Was awesome to see so much unabashed love for the Stones. The Cariocas love a party and this was like no other. A merchandisers galore of course but great that tongues were ubiquitous all over Copocabana. Rio has to be seen to be believed. The crowd was orderly where I was which was all over the day of the show. Easy to get up and back on the beach. Should be noted that many were beer and water vendors who mixed in with the crowd. Saw the first two songs up on the left near the water then walked back down the beach and over to the middle for better sound and to mix with the exuberant cariocas. Crowd was totally under control furtjer back and many were very approachable. Could have done without seeing people pissing in the ocean without entering the water but what should one expect. Saw a cabbie do it in the median along the highway in broad daylight too. Smoking was also ubiquitous even right in front of the Copocabana Palace security hours before the show. I've been to about 50 shows now so not many surprises musically for me. Knowing it was over with the bows got us back to the hotel. I did enjoy the special Lonecrapshooter moment during TD when Mick messed up! Sad that Keith had nothing original to say after a terrible moment of dead silence. I knew he would do it though and told my friend it would be real bad if he did here of all places. That comment should stay with the Hartfords and Detroits of the world not Rio!

How do they feel about white hip-hop countrified southern rockers from Detroit, that is the question.

I will say this, it was a great success, despite under 1 million(also see 3.4 Mil for Rod Stewart in 94). It was their largest concert ever, and for that, we can all be proud, despite the less than expected 1.5-2 million.
