I agree with you re Glastonbury.
HOWEVER, Bill was right regarding Hyde Park. Brian's death was the end of
an era and both the band and the audience knew it.

Yes, Brian became a mess. But there was a time when he counted for something
within the Rolling Stones, who would not have existed without him.

It was more then he was just a mess. After the early days he didn't add much to the band at all. When Mick Taylor joined they had a guy who added a ton more then Jones.
I find Jones to be totally overrated. One of those people that because they died young people feel the need to overrate them. Jones is well known because Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were extremely talented. And please don't bother bringing up that it was he that started the band or that it was his equipment. If thats your claim to fame then it only makes my point.

i dont agree that brian didnt contribute much to the stones, he played several instruments on many great songs and was the main driving force behind the ever changing stones sound, without that the stones would be considered a lot shallower musically.
no doubt mick was a talented musician too and the sound of the band changed when he came in, but they were very different from the jones era.
