Everyone is always relaxed and happy, and on this occasion, drunk enough to take part in the Brazilian carnival which wove its way past the DJs and funfair rides. <br><\/span><br>The evening came and the crowd started to assemble. On strolled the Stones and, once settled, exploded into <em>Start Me Up.&nbsp;<\/em>All the hits followed \u2013 <em>Paint It Black, Honky Tonk Women, Brown Sugar<\/em>. Mick Taylor&nbsp;joined the band for <em>Midnight Rambler, <\/em>among others. The band still sound really tight, and it almost made you forget the bitterness at not being able to attend the free version of this exact experience in 1965.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Stones don&#8217;t have anything left to prove. Jagger went to introduce everyone, only to see that they\u2019d all disappeared \u2013 eventually, he located the others and had to pull Ronnie out from behind the amps because he and Keith had gone to have a smoke. The camaraderie seemed very much alive, and the finale was accompanied by a massive confetti explosion, a piece of which I\u2019ve still got as a souvenir.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/musicmuses.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/BPUNi6ICUAAXMsl.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" data-id=\"197\" src=\"https:\/\/musicmuses.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/BPUNi6ICUAAXMsl.jpg\" alt=\"BPUNi6ICUAAXMsl\" class=\"wp-image-197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/musicmuses.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/BPUNi6ICUAAXMsl.jpg 600w, https:\/\/musicmuses.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/BPUNi6ICUAAXMsl-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ronnie Wood, July 2013.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/musicmuses.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/BPUNPOyCAAAS9Dw.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" data-id=\"198\" src=\"https:\/\/musicmuses.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/BPUNPOyCAAAS9Dw.jpg\" alt=\"BPUNPOyCAAAS9Dw\" class=\"wp-image-198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/musicmuses.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/BPUNPOyCAAAS9Dw.jpg 600w, https:\/\/musicmuses.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/BPUNPOyCAAAS9Dw-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Keef, July 2013.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"mceTemp\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Still not over the high from Bon Jovi the previous night, I was excited to see out the weekend back at Hyde Park with the Stones.\u00a0 Walking around BST is always a great experience.
