Background
Bijelo Dugme disbanded in 1989, two years before the Yugoslav Wars broke out. During the following decade, the band's former leader, Goran Bregović, stated on numerous occasions that he will not reunite Bijelo Dugme. However, in 2005, Bijelo Dugme reunited, featuring most of the musicians that passed through the band: Goran Bregović on guitar, Željko Bebek, Mladen Vojičić "Tifa" and Alen Islamović on vocals, Zoran Redžić on bass guitar, Milić Vukašinović and Điđi Jankelić on drums and Vlado Pravdić and Laza Ristovski on keyboards. The reunited Bijelo Dugme did not feature bass guitarist Jadranko Stanković, who was a member of the original Bijelo Dugme lineup, but spent only several months with the band, drummer Ipe Ivandić, who died in 1994, as well as short-term touring musicians, bass guitarists Mustafa "Mute" Kurtalić, Ljubiša Racić and Sanin Karić and drummer Garabet Tavitjan.
The reunion saw large media attention in all former Yugoslav republics. The band held only three concerts: in Sarajevo, at Koševo stadium, Zagreb, at Maksimir stadium, and Belgrade, at Belgrade Hippodrome. The concerts featured a string orchestra, a brass band, klapa group Nostalgija and two female singers from Bregovć's Weddings and Funerals Orchestra. The concert in Sarajevo attracted about 60,000 people, and the concert in Zagreb was attended by more than 70,000 people. For the concert in Belgrade, more than 220,000 tickets were sold, but it was later estimated that it was attended by more that 250,000 people. However, the concert in Belgrade was much criticized because of the bad sound. Turneja 2005: Sarajevo, Zagreb, Beograd features recordings from these concerts.
