Good news! for the fact Mick Taylor took part, I still don't think it was right that Brian Jones name wasn't even mentioned at the concert, Mick wore his shroud or dress to mark 1969 but why not mention Brian???? this is BS, the concert in '69 was for Remembering Brian, & I say crap on them, do they think they got so rich & famous & not remember the guy who started the band!!
I sometimes think The Beatles are leaving a better legacy then The Stones.

Sometimes? Regardless of our own personal preferences,  it unquestionably pisses all over it.

Quitting at your peak and never reforming has ensured that.

Saying that, I'd personally take 30-odd years of a band past their prime but still touring over having only archive releases and reissues to look forward to since 1970. 

You're spot on about the Brian Jones thing. Having been at the first Hyde Park show this year, for all the nods to the original event that they did that day and the following Saturday, to not even acknowledge Brian even in passing was poor form.

More heel-dragging.

Announcement postponed until tomorrow, it seems.

Obviously getting the wording of a short statement right at 24 hours notice is a lot to expect!

Can't those paid monkeys get the wording right...alright dammit here:

Following the generosity of the free Glastonbury broadcast we now present a just slightly overpriced Hyde Park DVD/CD/LP package with T-Shirt and Guitar picks (pick not actually from event).

Rejoin us as we leave out "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" and "Sway". Look back with us as Mick Taylor kills time back stage during some of his seminal moments in the bands history.

Finally, dream with us as we imagine what could have been during the much anticipated Brian Jones tribute segment recognizing the time and talent of one of the original members of the Rolling Stones during the sad anniversary of his untimely passing...


Something like that...hey, how much do those swabs get paid for this?

Is this the duets CD?

Any minor delay seems fair, especially if they are tweaking the goods to include extra eggs, jollier packaging, meatier bass, higher-volumed slide-guitar perhaps, or even, I suggest, 100 random 'executive versions' of the DVd which turn out to contain only gig footage filmed from behind the wall, amidst paupers and random groovers.

I am one who see no connection with the Hyde Park shows of either 69 or 13 except for the fact they took place in Hyde Park. Might have been classy to mention Brian, but why? They already did that - in 69.

The Rolling Stones, with Eagle Rock Entertainment today announce the DVD and Blu-Ray release of The Rolling Stones Sweet Summer Sun – Hyde Park Live. Available from 11 November 2013, Sweet Summer Sun – Hyde Park Live chronicles the Rolling Stones’ historic and triumphant return to London’s Hyde Park with a 2-hour live concert and highlights package including new and unseen backstage footage.

This summer, over 100,000 delirious fans packed into Hyde Park for two spectacular outdoor concerts to see Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood do what they do best. The Stones delivered a five star performance packed full of hits such as ‘Start Me Up’, ‘Brown Sugar’, ‘Jumpin’ Jack Flash’, ‘Miss You’, ‘It’s Only Rock ‘N’ Roll’, ‘Gimme Shelter’, ‘Doom And Gloom’ and ‘Sympathy For The Devil’, as well as one or two surprises.

Mick Jagger said: “It was a great gig…It was beautiful with the sun going down over Hyde Park. I can’t think of a better way celebrate the Rolling Stones’ 50 than doing it on our home patch in front of 100,000 people on a glorious summer night…enjoy it… we certainly did.”

Keith Richards commented: “Coming back to Hyde Park was like a full circle being drawn, and the band were in top form. We thought what could be more appropriate than having a great summer in London!”

From the second the Rolling Stones stepped out onto the stage each night, through to the dazzling firework and pyrotechnic display that heralded the end of the concert, fans old and new were treated to a non-stop, hit after hit performance, which took them through the Stones’ huge back catalogue. Keith Richards wowed the crowds by weaving his charismatic guitar licks with Ronnie Wood’s immense solos, Mick Jagger was on spectacular form, his boundless energy on stage matched by a number of stunning outfit changes, and Charlie Watts the unflappable heartbeat of the band, driving the band on through the set.

Former guitarist Mick Taylor – whose live debut with the Stones took place at the original 1969 Hyde Park concert – joined the band on stage to guest on the bluesy ‘Midnight Rambler’ and on closing track ‘Satisfaction’, whilst long-term live band members Lisa Fischer, Darryl Jones, Chuck Leavell, Bernard Fowler, Bobby Keys and Tim Ries all added their inimitable flair and finesse.

The Rolling Stones Sweet Summer Sun – Hyde Park Live is the perfect way for concert-goers to relive their favourite memories from the gigs, and for their fans to see the band back where they truly belong: live on the stage in their hometown.

I have such low expectations from them now that this is exactly what I thought would come out.  It's boring and I'm sure the same usual suspects will come out of the woods and condemn what I have said, but whatever. 

They could have expanded this thing in such a big way and probably done a whole set like they did with the 02 and 05/06 tours, but that's too much trouble for Mick and Keith.

WoooooHooooo

This is as exciting as the GRRR! was...its nice to feel the rush of excitement again...thanks Stones for editing out the bits that would upset me and especially for re-releasing the Hyde Park audio again...repackaged so soon...

The He Man Emotional Rescue Lovers Appreciation Society frowns upon this.
