July 5th, 1969.
They performed before hundreds of thousands of people, just a few days after Brian Jones death.
Jagger quoted some poetry in his honour, was it Shelley????
Very moving.
Nowadays, most bands would cancel under similar circumstances, but not the Stones, and not in 1969.
If only I'd been there..........
If anyone was there let me know how you felt and how it was to witness that emotion at that time.
The music was still tight and true, despite their bereavement and a new band member.
The consummate professionals and one of the best bands of the modern era.
