25th March 2016 is a date that will go down in both Cuban and rock ‘n’ roll history. The Rolling Stones became the first rock band to play a massive free outdoor concert to hundreds of thousands in Havana. This historic concert was captured by award winning film director Paul Dugdale and the result is Havana Moon.
The British rockers free show attracted a million people in the country’s capital city in the same week as President Obama became the first US President to visit Cuba in 88 years. TV News Networks around the world reported that Obama was ‘the warm up act’ for The Rolling Stones! As the Stones took to the stage in front of an ecstatic crowd. everyone knew that this was a life changing cultural moment for a country on the brink of change. There was nothing that was going to come between the band and their eager fans - including the Vatican in Rome who had objected to a big rock ‘n’ roll concert staged in Havana on a Good Friday!
They played all the big hits including Jumpin’ Jack Flash, It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll, Paint It Black, Honky Tonk Women, Start Me Up, Brown Sugar, You Can’t Always Get What You Want and I Can't Get No Satisfaction in the critically-acclaimed performance, all captured here in phenomenal high definition with pristine audio quality.
