March 25, 2016 marked the date of Havana Moon—The Rolling Stones Live In Cuba. This date 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. The British rockers' free show attracted a million people in the country's capital city. As the Stones took to the stage under a perfect “Havana Moon” in front of an ecstatic crowd everyone knew that this was a life-changing cultural moment for a country on the brink of change. Mick Jagger welcomed the massive crowd. “Finally the times are changing, Cuba we are so happy to be here” and joked with his bandmates during the performance describing them as “the revolutionary Ronnie Wood, drummer Charlie Che Watts, and compadre Keith Richards.” 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 two-hour-plus performance. (Gary Reber)
