Background

In 1969, the Rolling Stones performed a free concert in Hyde Park just two days after the death of founding member Brian Jones, with the gig also serving as the introduction to new guitarist Mick Taylor. As part of the 50 & Counting tour that celebrated the Rolling Stones' 50th anniversary celebrations, a new Hyde Park concert was scheduled in 2013, supported by the Vaccines, the Temper Trap, and Gary Clark Jr.[5] The 65,000 tickets sold out in three minutes.[6] Taylor, who left the band in 1974, appears on two tracks: "Midnight Rambler" and show closer "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction".[7]
