The Rolling Stones - Satisfaction Live at Hyde Park Concert
Venue: Hyde Park
Location: London, England, United Kingdom
Date: July 5, 1969
The live performance of "Satisfaction" by The Rolling Stones at Hyde Park on July 5, 1969, marked a significant moment in the band's history, occurring shortly after the release of their album "Beggars Banquet." This album, released in December 1968, included classic tracks that showcased the band's evolution toward a more roots-oriented sound, incorporating influences from blues and country. The Hyde Park concert was notable not only as a major public event but also for being the first performance of the band after the death of founding member Brian Jones, who had passed away just days before the show. During this performance, the band paid tribute to him by letting the audience release butterflies, symbolizing both sorrow and hope. This moment added a poignant layer to their live act, which was characterized by its raw energy and connection to the crowd, cementing The Rolling Stones' reputation as one of rock 'n' roll's leading forces.
