In July 1969 having made a date to meet a young lady in a quiet corner of London's Hyde Park I arrived at the designated spot to find that over a quarter of a million others had turned up for a Rolling Stones concert and the whole area was a heaving mass of humanity. After cursing my luck (and Jagger and co) I started to search for my latest flame clambering over a wide assortment of washed and unwashed 1960's youth! Eventually, against expectation and very much to my surprise, I came across her looking totally bewildered under one of the few remaining unoccupied trees. After coming to terms with the unexpected situation we decided to stay and watch the show even though we were not RS fans. I think we both enjoyed it but this may have had something to do with the fact that it was absolutely free! A very cheap first date for me!
Regards...Paul
