The Rolling Stones were scheduled to play at a free concert for Blackhill Enterprises in London 's Hyde Park , two days after Jones ' death ; they decided to go ahead with the show as a tribute to him . The concert , their first with new guitarist Mick Taylor , was performed in front of an estimated 250,000 fans . A Granada Television production team filmed the performance , which was broadcast on British television as '' The Stones in the Park '' . Blackhill Enterprises stage manager Sam Cutler introduced the Rolling Stones on to the stage by announcing : " Let 's welcome the Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World . " Cutler repeated the introduction throughout their 1969 US tour . Jagger read an excerpt from Shelley 's poem '' Adonaïs '' , an elegy written on the death of his friend John Keats . They released thousands of butterflies in memory of Jones before opening their set with " I 'm Yours and I 'm Hers " , a Johnny Winter number . Also performed , but previously unheard by the audience , were " Midnight Rambler " and " Love in Vain " from their forthcoming album '' Let It Bleed '' ( released December 1969 ) and " Give Me A Drink " , which eventually appeared on '' Exile on Main St. '' ( released May 1972 ) . The show also included the concert debut of " Honky Tonk Women " , which the band released the previous day . The Stones ' last album of the sixties was '' Let It Bleed '' which reached No . 1 in the UK and No . 3 in the US . It featured " Gim me Shelter " with guest lead female vocals by Merry Clayton ( sister of Sam Clayton , of the American rock band Little Feat ) . Other tracks include " You Ca n't Always Get What You Want " ( with accompaniment by the London Bach Choir , who initially asked that their name be removed from the album 's credits after apparently being " horrified " by the content of some of its other material , but later withdrew this request ) , " Midnight Rambler " as well as a cover of Robert Johnson 's " Love in Vain " . Jones and Taylor are both featured on the album
