The Rolling Stones’ return to Hyde Park to be broadcast on BBC1
The BBC will broadcast the Rolling Stones’ stunning live
performance which was recorded in Hyde Park in July 2013 on BBC One on
Saturday 12th October at 10.35pm.
The first of this year’s Hyde Park concerts took place almost 44
years to the day after The Rolling Stones first invited 200,000 fans to
listen to them for free in a legendary concert at the Central London
park on 5 July 1969, only two days after the tragic death of founder
member Brian Jones – a landmark event, now widely acknowledged as one of the
most significant moments in modern music history.
Featuring their greatest hits from across their career, plus a
special appearance by former Stones guitarist Mick Taylor – who made his debut
with the band at Hyde Park in 1969 – the gig took the huge
success of The Rolling Stones’ 50 & Counting anniversary
celebrations into a second year, and followed an acclaimed Glastonbury
appearance – their debut performance at the festival in a career
spanning 50-years.
Acquired from Eagle Rock Entertainment and directed by Paul Dugdale,
this 19 camera HD shoot in front of 65,000 fans captures just why The
Rolling Stones are still the greatest live Rock n’ Roll band after all
these years.
The BBC One broadcast is an abridged version of the full concert full which is
released on DVD, BluRay and digital download on 11 November
2013.
