Happy New Years everyone !

A similar experience once with a new Beocom 6000 purchased in Frankfurt.

. . . and an entire Brasilian beach. I was in Copacabana for the Stones Concert there, estimated at 800,000 + people. All traffic on Avenida Atlantic stopped in both directions ( 2 lanes each ) also, and just listened. ( Unfortunately the CD recording or download of this historic event sounds as though it was recorded through a bent soda straw coming
