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.

Gazza wrote on Sep 4^th, 2013 at 6:31am:



fucking right this is how its done!!!

What's the word I'm looking for here?...oh right:  LAME.

I will not accept this as the ONLY product from the tour.  Hyde Park wasn't even THE best show of the tour and they ought to know because they filmed every show...they should have realized that when they reviewed the hours of footage they amassed over two months. 

The building at the end of the picture, below the sun is the Buckinham Palace???

rogerriffin wrote on Sep 4^th, 2013 at 1:15pm:



Hard to say, but I don't think so. Its either a long view of the park from the back of the field with the stage in the background (which is what I think it is) or a view of the field taken FROM the stage. If its the latter, it could be Kensington Palace (official residence of Prince William and Prince Harry amongst others) as its around that end of the park.

It wouldn't really have made sense to compile a DVD from the in-door concerts, if they're hoping to get punters to see them on the same stage later in the year / in 2014, shirley?

The Hyde Pork gigs were two-offs, with lots of original / unique filmic possibilities, and a celebration of summer, and hearing the Stoonz play their ditties 2013-style(e) and outdoors - while side-stepping the already (fairly widely) seen Glastonburger, seems fair to me.

Emo, BOB plus another could have filled the space used by the rambling Midnight, perhaps, but then that would have excluded swee' Taylor, causing some firm fans to go nut-cake and want to root their budgerigar.

Bob Clearmountain was on-board and that is dandy, shirley?

Seems like a more than reasonable lil' package for 'mid-tour' and a respectable nod to dear ol' Lan-dan Toon.

Perhaps I was the only one who liked Some Girls Deluxe. Admittedly it didn't contain anything that built or reflected the NY 'rap' of 'Shattered' (the tune that inspired / opened the door for / jumped ahead of Grandmaster Flash & the FF's 'The Message') or the alternate new groove of 'Miss You' (released before Chic's 'Le Freak' and 'Good Times')....   but... 'Do You Think...', 'Spare Parts' and 'Don't Be A Stranger' were especially splendiddles to mi mynd.

Perhaps my prob is that I like them too much (albeit in a bro-ish way rather than spousal way).

My issue with the Some Girls rerelease wasn't the tracks, although I would have liked if they would have worked up I Need You. My issue is that they just put it out without much energy behind it. It was as if, we spent our energy on Exile and we can't be bothered now. Even the magazine interviews were far less. If they can't be tossed, it sort of makes me not give a toss. You might say that about a lot of their recent exertions, but some are worse than others.

from the 'I shit you not' department....

the three missing songs on the blu ray/DVD (before they make me run, Tumbling dice, Paint it Black) will be released exclusively on the Japanese edition. Whether its on the regular release there or just on the deluxe, I'm not sure.

They actually have the cheek to call it 'bonus' material too.

So, basically, Japan gets what should be retitled the 'standard edition' and the rest of the world gets Omaha'ed with the 'substandard edition'

Fantastic news. My beach front property in Japan will finally come in handy...

The way they did this made some people's heart skip a beat: they announced 'BIG NEWS' through push messages from the Stones app. I know several people in the Netherlands who expected news on the European Tour. Hell, even I did for half a sec and I knew this set was coming. Even if I actually wanted another official live disc the announcement would've been a let down.

Cool title though. You'd wish they would've played the song they took the line from.

LOL, thanks for the reminder, I think this weekend will be the weekend to update so please if you have more to add send it now

So they made me run to the ITunes store, cos it was
only available for a limited time, and now they bring it
out on CD...?

Nice...

Most of their DVD releases are edited. This is nothing new. They always do this. What I want to see is edited. It's like they are keeping tabs on what I want and then giving me everything but.

I'm glad I didn't bother with iTunes...shitty MP3 audio doesn't excite me. This release is better than nothing, I guess.

Its strange, the Stage is at the Left and the crowd are viewing to Right!

Superimposed.

The views werent great at times at Hyde Park, but they werent THAT bad!

Some Guy wrote on Sep 6^th, 2013 at 1:24pm:



makes mental note to tell Some Guy that the Jap import news gets more insulting by the day. The three missing songs are available on the 'regular' Jap import - and apparently 'Emotional Rescue' is a 'bonus' on the Japanese deluxe version.

This is just the start of things. Apparently when the Stones next release a studio album, the Japanese deluxe import will be the only version that plays the whole way through until the end.

Going back to the lackluster Zilker Park show on Biggest Bang, I maintain that it's always bad luck for fans when trees make an appearance in a Stones video.

andrews27 wrote on Sep 7^th, 2013 at 8:05am:




Great show that one. Loved it...and don't judge the trees so harshly...thet particular tree came in handy after eleven $8 Heineken's

So they named it after a song that wasnt even played on the tour.

And then left out the only song that discerning members of this board wants a copy of.

Oh well, maybe 'Scue will be made available on the scratch-n-sniff deluxe edition

Edith Grove wrote on Sep 8^th, 2013 at 3:31pm:


isn´t stupid, but isn´t different markets.

Japan releases always give a plus, this because the high prices they manage for the products, also, they gives they higher quality in the products...

Edith Grove wrote on Sep 8^th, 2013 at 3:31pm:


So that enough stupid bastards will pay $150 for something that they could otherwise have got about a third of the price.

Gazza wrote on Sep 11^th, 2013 at 9:25am:


Gazza, don't judge me too harshly.

Presumably Michael / 'm and the editor / The Stones Collective / whoever(s) was or were in charge thought the selection as presented to the non-nips [joke] worked best as a flowy thread, both visually and musically, in tandem.

I am deeply deeply - deeply - appalled and shocked and stunned rigid & rotten by the non-inclusion of 'Curtains', but not like one can't watch fan-cam footage of it and udder things, shirley?

Why, oh why, they aren't putting out a Belgian release with only eight tracks on it, I don't understand. I would buy it and I would grin while doing so.

Official Trailer:

<  ----- Guess whose " Hog " is now sticking straight out ?!

i'm probably a buzz kill, but how is this different from anything we have seen live on DVD since ABB tour?

Pdog wrote on Sep 18^th, 2013 at 4:44pm:


That's exactly what I thought.  Great visual and it looks spiffy but 98% of the songs we've had many times on other past DVDs from the last 20 years.  They couldn't even throw us a bone and put ER on here to even entice a little bit?  And we gotta wait till November for this mediocre thing....ridiculous

and don't get me wrong, it's aDVD thing for me… I'm not into watching music much… maybe once or twice for most things… a few exceptions would be revisits, and those are going to be yearly or even every other year…. and those are most rare.
the audio release is awesome… as was the archives… with that, I'd say they got it right, and should keep it up, as best they can!

interwebs rumour is that GAZZA will be in bonus features

Interesting.

5 disks...254 minutes total (4hr 14 mins). 

The Hyde Park show alone on the Blu-Ray is 118 (1hr 58 mins) minutes.  That leaves 136 minutes for the other 4 disks (about 2hr 20 mins).   Could we get clips from the arena shows on the tour?

BBC1 will be showing an edited version of the show (ie, edited from the DVD version) on Saturday 12th October.

Gazza wrote on Oct 2^nd, 2013 at 10:39am:


Awful, what a waste of plastic.  So they couldn't throw in an artist rendering version of the show too while they were at it?

Why the fuck edit the show? Does Jagger think we'll be bored? You could almost understand in the days of VHS, and maybe dvd, but no excuse with blu ray's data size. 3D would have been killer!!

I'll wait & try and the get Jap version when price drops.

I'll buy it, watch it then store it.

BBC just showed a 75 minute edit of the 'Sweet Summer Sun' dvd.

Wasnt just simply a concert broadcast, some nice off-camera commentary by the Stones themselves, and a couple of clips of Hyde Park 69 nicely woven in. It was pretty well filmed, I thought. The interviews appeared in between songs though, which I hope isnt the case on the DVD.

The songs broadcast were :

Start Me Up
IORR
Ruby Tuesday
Honky Tonk Women
Gimme Shelter
Jumpin Jack Flash
Sympathy For The Devil
Brown Sugar
You Cant Always Get What You Want
Satisfaction

Oh, and in case anyone is interested, Keith has mysteriously somehow managed to play the first three chords of 'Start Me Up' properly, despite fouling them up at BOTH shows.

Nice way to kick off the Holidays.

scored the 5 disc box for 58 and change. putting my puffy shirt on

Must say the footage looks good though.

Still say 3D would be amazing.

I'm getting up for this, honestly.
