E.g, it hosted Rolling Stones` concert in 1967. Amasing! The event took place in the Congress Hall. Poland was the only country of the Eastern block where the group performed in 1960s.
Such spectacular concerts were rare but still took place in the most joyful barracks of communism which Poland was. I can`t remember Rolling Stones` gig for obvious reasons but I do remember the concert by Kraftwerk, the German electronic rock band, in 1981. I saw TV coverage in the evening news and still have in my mind`s eyes that young man who was interviewed by the communist reporter and who spoke in an intelligent manner about the group and the significance of their appearance in Poland torn by acute economic crisis.
I was under great impression of his comments and decided to read and study even more to be like him one day - an intelligent, knowledgeable, decent man.
Can you imagine that Kraftwerk are still active and they come to give concerts in Poland????
