Description

The Rolling Stones’ free concert in Hyde Park on the 5th July 1969 has become the stuff of legend. It was the band’s first full live performance for two years, their first to feature Mick Taylor on guitar and came just two days after the tragic early death of their former guitarist Brian Jones. It was a free concert so nobody counted the crowd but it was undeniably in the hundreds of thousands. This film was originally shot for Granada TV in the UK and captures the full experience of the day. There are interview clips with the band, behind the scenes footage, interviews with the crowd and with the Hell’s Angels providing the security and of course The Rolling Stones on stage, including the first live performance of “Honky Tonk Women”, classics like “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”, “Midnight Rambler” and “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and an epic version of “Sympathy For The Devil” complete with African drummers and dancers. Newly restored, remixed and remastered, “The Rolling Stones Hyde Park Live 1969” is now better than ever!

    Look, Hyde Park is not a great concert. The Stones sound pretty terrible compared to some of their other performances (I heard that Mick and Keith's guitars are even out of tune). The film itself is a hodgepodge of really nauseating camera angles cobbled together with shots of random people in the audience. It also seems like they edited it so that the performances are in random order because it starts off with Midnight Rambler and Mick's eulogy for Brian Jones is later on in the middle. So I would buy this only if you are a huge Stones fan and enjoy this type of memorabilia otherwise I would buy some if their other concerts like "Ladies and Gentlemen…" or even "Live at Hampton Coliseum".
