The J. Geils Band was promoting "Freeze Frame" at the same concert - what was the album the Stones were pushing?

BERLIN




The Rolling Stones' European Tour 1982 was a concert tour of Europe to promote the album Tattoo You. 
It was in effect the European continuation of their long and successful 1981 US tour. 

It was during the Berlin concert on 8 June 1982 when thousands of balloons were released, 
inspiring a member of the audience, the guitarist Carlo Karges from the band Nena to write 
the song "99 Luftballons", which became a worldwide hit.

Carlo Karges (31 July 1951 in Hamburg – 30 January 2002 in Hamburg) noticed that balloons were 
being released. As he watched them move toward the horizon, he noticed them shifting and 
changing shapes, where they looked like strange spacecraft (referred to in the German 
lyrics as a "UFO"). He thought about what might happen if they floated over the Berlin Wall 
to the Soviet sector. He wondered how East German or Soviet forces might react if the balloons 
crossed the Berlin Wall, and thus he conceived the idea for the song about a major war 
resulting from misidentification of a mass of balloons.



Leur tout premier succès n’est pas « 99 Luftballons » 
comme on pourrait le penser, mais « Nur Geträumt » en 1982. 
« 99 Luftballons » devient numéro 1 des ventes en


 "99 Luftballons" (German: Neunundneunzig Luftballons, "99 balloons" ) 
 is an anti-war protest song by the German band Nena from their 1983 self-titled
 album. An English version titled "99 Red Balloons", with lyrics by Kevin McAlea,
 was also released after widespread success of the original in Europe and Japan.
 The English version is not a direct translation of the German and contains
 somewhat different lyrics.

Anbei ein paar Fotos vom Konzert in der Berliner Waldbühne im Juni 1982.
Für qualitativ hochwertige Fotos stand ich leider zu weit weg von der Bühne.

Die Band trat hier noch ohne abenteuerliche Deko und Videoleinwand auf.
Die Bandmitglieder standen außerdem noch sehr „tight“.

        Rolling Stones (1982)

   "Stones concerts at Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg opened a new era in Sweden, were
    the first mega-concerts. Outdoor, with many spectators and giant scenarios. To 
   see the Rolling Stones in the light of the day was an amazing experience. It gave 
   me the opportunity to photograph Keith Richards without stopping. I was all the 
   time moving around the stage to try to grab their hair and smoke trimmed in the lights.

    With photos of the Stones did that summer my first exhibition was at the Gauss 
   Gallery Stockholm. The pictures became so famous that even was a blatant attempt 
   to steal them. A drug addict got some that were not framed under his clothes and 
   ran. But gallery owner went after him and caught him. The color photo of Richards 
   was the first picture I sold in my life. 30 euros in the autumn of 2010." - Mats Bäcker

new info at 2:12 The year was 1981 when the German director Werner Herzog came to the
 Peruvian Amazon to record one of his most iconic films: "Fitzcarraldo," which
 earned him the Best Director award at Cannes. The film was starring his favorite
 actor Klaus Kinski and Claudia Cardinale. Said tape, which is set in the
 nineteenth century, portrays the life of Brian Fitzgerald "Fitzcarraldo," 
 an eccentric Irish businessman rundown, opera lover, who has the desire to build a
 theater in the middle of the Amazon jungle. To achieve his dream he embarks on an
 adventure in order to find one of the most precious goods time: rubber.

 It's no secret that the production suffered a host of problems during filming,
 not only technical, but also conflicts with the locals. It is also well known the
 love/hate relationship between Herzog and Kinski, which reached its peak when
 Herzog threatened to kill Kinski if he left the film. But at first the film stared
 Jason Robards, who would (Fitzcarraldo) and Mick Jagger, who would make
 his assistant.

++++++++

Fitzcarraldo is one of the best and most prolific films of Werner Herzog and one of the biggest, and most controversial, classics of film history. The quixotic story of an opera enthusiast 
who intends to build a theater in the middle of the Amazon jungle to the locals and especially himself enjoy the bel canto. 

Fitzcarraldo is a 1982 West German surreal adventure-drama film written and directed by Werner Herzog and starring Klaus Kinski as the title character. It portrays would-be rubber baron 
Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald, an Irishman known in Peru as Fitzcarraldo, who is determined to transport a steamship over a steep hill in order to access a rich rubber territory in the Amazon 
Basin. The film is derived from the historic events of Peruvian rubber baron Carlos Fitzcarrald. Released 5 March 1982.

The film began production in January 1981 staring movie star Jason Robards, and the Rolling Stones Mick Jagger who played an assistant who was a wizzard accompanying on his journey.

Both actors moved to Peru where an intense journey begins. Perhaps the actors had not thought through what they were facing, and that Herzog had behind him a tough reputation as a slave 
driver, reckless and risky filmmaker where nothing and nobody could stop him just to make your movie reality.

After shooting more than a third of the film, Jason Robards fell ill with dysentery and had to leave the Peru imminently. It is also said that it was because Robards could no longer stand the 
conditions to which was referred Herzog, intolerable for a star of his Robards' stature.

Herzog halted filming for six weeks and and considered Jack Nicholson for the role, but decided to appoint Klaus Kinski to interpret it . Because of the delays, the contract for the filming 
of Mick Jagger expired and the singer went on tour with his band the Rolling Stones as he finished the album "tattoo you." Herzog rewrote the script and eliminated Wilbur, but had to re-
shoot the scenes already recorded from the beginning with Kinski instead of Robards to keep the continuity of the film. The discarded scenes with Jason Robards and  Mick Jagger seen in the 
documentary "My Best Fiend" (1999).

Mario Adorf as the Ship's captain was originally cast, but due to the delays, his shooting schedule expired too. Brazilian actor Grande Otelo and singer Milton Nascimento played minor parts.

Klaus Kinski, a favorite actor par excellence of Germany and famous director Herzog had clashes between them. Such torturous relationship that led them to threaten each death, but that's 
another story.


 Herzog and Kinski

Although Mick Jagger and Jason Robards did not come out in the final film, both
 have appearances in the documentary "Brothel of Dream" filmmaker  Les Blank, who
 talks about the problems that occurred in the shooting and "My Best Fiend"
 documentary of the same Herzorg. And you have to watch the videos below to find
 out more than the arrival of Mick Jagger the country and the scenes he recorded himself.

VIDEO

 Clips from the first version of Fitzcarraldo show Jason Robards in the
 Klaus Kinski part, and Mick Jagger as a sort of simpleton, whom Herzog dropped
 when Jagger left. The ‘first drafts’ of the scenes are especially fascinating
 after seeing the final version, and the contrast is very instructive if you’re
 interested in content-or-style debates. It seems to me that the different actors,
 moving in entirely different ways across the scene, profoundly transform the 
 sense of the set-ups, business, and events. And no doubt Herzog’s ideas changed as
 he went along. Oddly enough, the earlier, ‘first choice’, versions look a lot 
 more ‘busy’ and a lot less poetic than the makeshift one – less Herzogian, in fact.

Mick Jagger had left, Jason Robards nearly died, but a steamship went up an Amazon
mountain. Director Werner Herzog talks about his grand spectacle,'Fitzcarraldo'

Before you reshot and recast 'Fitzcarraldo' with Klaus Kinski, what was it like working with Mick Jagger?

I left his entire part out in my final script because I liked him so much as a performer in the film. He was so extraordinary
I had the feeling that any kind of replacement would be an embarrassment. He's a great actor, and nobody has seen that.

I liked his attitude very much. In Iquitos, he had a rented car, a small Volkswagen; when we had some trouble getting people across town,
he would chauffeur them for us. But that was only part of his general attitude. What I liked very much about him was that he knew the value of
real work. And he's a professional in the very best sense of the word. The test on Mick was particularly strong because, during the past
fifteen years, he has lived quite a different life ? a life where everything is organized by people. But he adapted very quickly to
the circumstances.

Just watched this today (finally). A truly wonderful film, although I was
definitely surprised at how optimistic the piece seemed. I've considered many of
Herzog's works to be rather dark (although the only narrative I've seen is
Aguirre: The Wrath of God). Great, great film from one of the best filmmakers!

New York Times Review: [www.nytimes.com]


+++++++++++

This 1982 Werner Herzog film told the tale of opera lover Fitzcarraldo
who had a dream of bringing the beauty of opera to a remote Peruvian city. He
journeys up the Amazon in his own steamer, but cannot access the land he has
bought in the jungle. His solution is to employ the natives to help him move the
steamer from one river, up over a mountain, and back down into the next river.

Herzog achieved the effect of pulling a 340-ton steamer over a mountain by taking
the novel approach of pulling a 340-ton steamer over a mountain. As if that
wasn't enough, Herzog cast notoriously difficult Klaus Kinski in the role of
Fitzcarraldo. Famously, following one of many rules in which Kinski threatened to
leave the film, Herzog informed him that he kept a rifle and two bullets, one for
the actor, and one for himself.

The film, when it was completed, won Herzog the Best Director award at Cannes.


And we can't mention Herzog and not mention the bet that he made with Errol Morris
that should Morris ever make a film Herzog would eat his shoe. Morris did. Herzog did. They sold tickets.
