RE: RE: New Stones video to feature Brian Jones.

> What else could they do? Brian had died just a little over 48 hours before. They couldn't simply go on as if nothing had happened. <

An outstanding point, DA. From a PR point of view, their only two choices were to cancel the show out of respect for Brian's passing, or play the show and honor, Brian.

The choice to do Hyde Park without honoring Brian would have been a PR nightmare. Seen as callous, and dismissive of their old band mate.

Good ol' Charlie has always been the conscience of The Rolling Stones it seems. Part of the reason he gains such loud applause at shows, I suspect.

Though, now that I think about it, I clap my hands hard, in part, because he popped Jagger a good one, when Mick was being particularly snobbish and arrogant, one evening in the '80s.

No one truly knows what was in the hearts and minds of each Stone after Brian passed and decisions had to be made about the show in Hyde Park, but I always thought Jagger yelling at the crowd impatiently during the poem for Brian onstage, was odd, to say the least, or inappropriate and telling, to say more.

I'll just stick with "odd" though.
