Freedom for Central and Eastern Europe started in August 1980, when Lech Walesa jumped over the shipyard wall and together with thousands of other desperate workers called Solidarnosc into being. Without the August Settlements there would have been no chance for Poland to become a democratic country. Without Solidarnosc the Berlin Wall would have never fall down and it would still have been the Eastern border of the European Union.

This crucial anniversary reminded everybody how significantly that August 1980 changed the world.

To celebrate that anniversary, Jean Michel was invited to perform what could well be his best concert to date, as a lot of fans and friends said afterwards.
JM was in a great shape, looked very happy and enthusiastic. He was a very good ambassador and took good care of introducing most of his songs with comments related to Solidarnosc, Pope John Paul 2, Freedom, Lech Walesa, Poland etc....

The concert took place in the Gdansk shipyards in an outstanding industrial environement, in the middle of huge cranes, wharehouses still in activity where workers are still buiding enormous metallic parts, which, once assembled will become tankers, liners sailing all the seas and oceans.
