WARSAW, Poland, July 26 (UPI) -- About 40,000 fans of the Rolling Stones attended a concert at a horse track in Warsaw, 40 years after the group's first concert in the Polish capital.
The Stones played their rock'n'roll tunes at Warsaw's Sluzewiec Hippodrome Wednesday night for the fans that virtually included three generations, those who in 1967 were teenagers and many of whom came with their children and grandchildren, Polish Radio said.
Observing a three-day national mourning following Sunday's Polish bus crash that killed 26 pilgrims in southern France, the Stones asked the audience to pay tribute to the victims with a minute of silence.
The Stones donated an undisclosed sum of money from the concert income to families of the Polish bus crash victims.
Following his custom to greet local audiences in native languages on the Stones' European concerts, Mick Jagger addressed the fans in Warsaw to their delight in Polish on several occasions, the radio said.
