Praise Jesus and Mary, dear friends and people, it's beautiful to see you, I don't know how to express my satisfaction, so many of you came to listen and watch.

Thompson continued his performance with "Dolazak Hrvata," "Duh ratnika," and "Kletva kralja Zvonimira." The concert marked the one-year anniversary of his significant performance at Hipodrom, where half a million fans enjoyed his hits. That previous show featured impressive pyrotechnics, fireworks, and a light show, including a memorable drone display that formed images of angels, the Virgin Mary, a cross, and the inscription 'Oluja 95' (Storm 95), alongside the Croatian flag and a quote from General Andrija Matijaš Pauk.
Whether I am good or not, you be the judge, but I try. It is important that something beautiful happened, let something beautiful happen tonight too, and I have a feeling it will.
