The largest ancient castle in the world, Prague Castle was famous lit up in 1995 by what popular rock group?

The Guinness Book of World Records has dictated that Prague Castle is the world's largest ancient castle at 753,474 square feet. The extensive complex is home to the Bohemian Crown Jewels, which are locked down with seven locks, whose keys are owned by seven different people, including the Prague Archbishop, the President, and the Prime Minister. The Castle also holds the honor of being lit by rock n' roll royalty, the Rolling Stones. The band personally paid to light up the castle at night after playing a concert there following the Velvet Revolution. Becoming friends with then-Czech President Václav Havel, they offered to have their lighting designer install a system...which they did for $32,000.
