Tell Me :
Talk
They did break up. Then they got back together six years later baybee!
You call that getting back together? Like I said, they got back together six years later baybee! Hyde Park in 2012!
Thankfully not. Saying that, the NOTW DID get a lot of exclusives.
Encouraging news, although Ronnie meeting Keith doesn't really mean an awful lot in itself. I'll take everything a bit more seriously when I hear this kind of talk from Mick.
Yeah. So, probably June 23-24 then if it is.
And general admission and decent priced tickets too, so here's hoping.
Things have changed somewhat since 1969 (or even since the 80's) and concerts in Hyde Park are considerably more organised and structured now. To start off with, there is a wooden perimiter fence approx 15 feet high which surrounds the concert area so no chance of seeing anything without a ticket. It is of course still possible to hear the concert and having a picnic in the park whilst listening to the gig is always an option. In fact, there is a great atmosphere amongst those people doing exactly that along with everyone else simply enjoying the park.
Within the confines of the concert area, there are numerous food outlets, lavatories and of course the inevitable VIP areas for hospitality. All in all, quite different from the 1969 free-for-all with people hanging out of trees, etc!
No problem...

I doubt he literally means to re-create it. It'll probably be a headlining set at Hard Rock Calling to a crowd of about 50,000 (although the size COULD be extended if need be) - which WOULD work if the band were to just do a couple of festivals in Europe, then do a US tour with a 'proper' Euro tour to finish in 2013.
Live 8 had 200,000 people in there in 2005, however.
Excatly. So many so-called fans who do not want them to tour. Figure that!
They'll probably sound as rusty...
Be nice to see Mick in a white frock & Keith with a flying-V again.
Some people just love to find fault whatever...........
If you don't you're fridgid.....If you do you're a slag..............
Talk about your favorite band.

Where's colonial when you need him? Straight from the Ronnie's mouth baybee!
Evening Standard
Wood revealed he and the Stones plan a series of gigs to mark their 50th anniversary next year and hope to recreate their 1969 show at Hyde Park. He is meeting bandmate Keith Richards this week to begin discussions. "We'll try to recapture the old camaraderie," he said.
"I know Keith is fully supportive, as are the rest of the boys in the Stones. We'll see what we can do as a unit. Playing Hyde Park would be fabulous."
Wood is currently performing with The Faces, who are due to play a charity show at drummer Kenney Jones's Hurtwood Park Polo Club in Surrey.

Maybe the Hard rock Calling festival that Rodders did this year.
Went the Year that erosmith did it. Pretty good day out.
Be great to go back and see the Stones there. Especiallycus it would negate the crappy seating plan policy that loads of venues on the Uk are adopting nowadays.
Bring it on

This would indeed be far out.....if it happens.....but there could still be seating plans in place and/or Golden Circle arrangements.

Question for Londoners, or anyone else that is more knowledgeable about Hyde Park than I am:
I assume that Ronnie is (supposedly) talking about "re-creating" the show at Hyde Park itself.
Do you think that Hyde Park is currently capable of hosting an event such as this, particularly if it was a free show?
I'm assuming that, free or not, there could be many more people wanting to see the Stones than in '69.
I'm basically familiar with the area, having run a few miles in Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens during my stay there in '03, but I have to wonder about it's ability to host a massive crowd the Stones might draw in this day & age.
What do ya'll think?

You guys are amazing. You all want the Stones to be active in 2012, but one of them confirms that plans are starting to take shape you guys are all negative about it...I don't get it.
Provided health doesn't become an issue the Stones will be active in 2012.

Ok, second question:
If they play the park, do you think the boys & Phelge will run back over to Edith Grove after the show for some coffee,
piss down the stairs, gob on the walls & toss Perry Como records out the window?
