I bet all the farmers in the area were real happy about all those cabbage butterflies being released.

Mon0xide, I agree. Saw Floyd, led Zeppelin, Genesis, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Queen etc. What a truly amazing era the early 70s were for music! Feel so lucky

flowercat0523, not many farms near Hyde Park. It's central London

What an image releasing thousands of wasps would be...

Mon0xide, I've seen them live twice in a football stadium, Foxboro, and thought it was awesome!

Fantasia48, their might not be many farms but theres still allotments plotted around
SunnyEssex
If I remember correctly most of the butterflies were dead before they were released.

Not only was it one of their worst performances but future crops were destroyed - jokes

You may not be British!
Hyde Park is in Central London , even then you would probably have been 10 miles from the nearest farm

Tannar33, horrendous,cuz I’ve been stung by a wasp before...my lord did it hurt. U know the wasp was in my room then it got into my jumper sleeve then later that day I was off to do the horses and it jabbed my arm as I put the jumper on. It was an excruciating pain

I picked butterflies because all other options sounded horrific. Ladybirds may pretty, but I don't think having them crawling all over the place sounds particularly pleasant.

No farms within 20 miles. center of London

flowercat0523, It was at Hyde Park, Central London! I was there,along with thousands of others the day before. It was worth it despite the guitars being out of tune and the timing a bit out too!

Player SQinfoNUTS, I agree...I’d have been a little chapped at the lack of courtesy to their fans.

Miss Pringle, Way too much wear-and-tear on the Mick.....I’d pick a grandpa that aged gracefully.

Tay38 42, Me too.Came close but ride backed out at the last minute! Would have planned better if I could go back!

I remember when Brian Jones died on 3rd July 1969 from drowning in a swimming pool in LA. Apparently his favourite instrument was the slide Sitar which former Beatles star George Harrison gave him after he came back from Ceylon in 1966.

Can you imagine Mick Jagger being your grandpa? The ultimate bragging right! :D

Player SQinfoNUTS, Of course, they would rehearse, but playing live for the first time in two years is a different experience than rehearsing.
Player SQinfoNUTS
so the Rolling Stones did not play together for 2 years and they did not have the courtesy at least to rehearse before this??

flowercat0523, it's a very large city there are no farmers anywhere the park

Player GayleP, I think it's probably a tunic.
