The Rolling Stones Perform 'Start Me Up' at Sweet Summer Sun, Hyde Park
In July 2013, The Rolling Stones were in the midst of their "50 & Counting" tour, celebrating their 50th anniversary as a band. This live performance at Hyde Park marked a significant moment, echoing their historic 1969 concert at the same venue. Before this recording, the group had released "A Bigger Bang" in 2005, which was their most recent studio album at that time. The Hyde Park concert not only served as a showcase of the band's classic hits, including "Start Me Up," but also demonstrated their enduring popularity and relevance. An interesting detail about this event is that it was a much-anticipated return to one of the band's iconic performance spaces, as they delivered a set that resonated with both long-time fans and a new generation, further cementing their legacy in rock music history. Following this performance, the band would release "Hackney Diamonds" in 2023, showcasing their continued creative output.
