ROLLING STONES IN RIO DE JANEIRO
COPACABANA BEACH - February 18, 2006

Photos by Mark Lord unless otherwise indicated

The building of the massive stage on Copacabana Beach began about 10-12 days before the show
Building a stage on a beach is a massive undertaking
A grand walkway is created so the band can have access over the street from the Copacabana Palace Hotel directly to the stage
How the walkway looked day of show. Copacabana Palace is on the left.
The stage begins to take shape
The giant bigscreen at the back of the stage is finally finished. Most of the sound and lights are up as well.
The crowd gathered early day of show in order to get the best view possible. At this point, showtime is still many, many hours away and the weather is HOT!
