The Rolling Stones

[Hagar]

If you look at that setlist there was very little rock n roll on it and I remember the massive banner stating The Greatest Rock n Roll Band In The World.
I have nothing against Soul Music and you'll find me at Northern Soul and Motown nights but I wasn't expecting it at this concert.
We walked in to Soul Music.
The support act was Soul.
The Stones came on and played 75% of their slow soulful material also giving Billy Preston around 15 minutes on his own material.
They did no encore and we walked out to soul.

It amazes me how many people have no respect for the Beatles however most major rock bands in the World cite them as an influence.
I was always an old Beatles material fan until I started to play in a Beatles 'tribute' that did their newer material and learning that stuff made me realise what great musicians and minds they were.

Yes, Hyde Park was Beggars banquet and Let it Bleed era it also had good support acts.

It was only a few years ago that i picked up a near mint mono copy of Hard Days night at a boot sale and i was blown away with the music quality even just using a phono amp through amplified speakers. My later albums dont sound as good.
I was at boarding school in the sixties and i remember clearly Sgt. Peppers being brought to our record club along with others, the Beatles sounding so unique in comparison to Tull, Status Quo, Traffic and others it was quite remarkable.
