The Rolling Stones have been rehearsing at the Beatles Apple head-quaters in Londons Savile Row this week and there is speculation that the two groups may be planning a Sensational "Super-Group" appearence in Hyde Park next Saturday (5).
At least one of the two Beatles, if not all, are thought to be interested in appearing at what will now be a masssive five-hour free show even more spectacular then the Blind Faith concert, several weeks ago.
It is emphasised that any Beatles appearence at this stage is, of course, speculative. At the same time, The Stones and The Beatles have long had a working relationship and John Lennon took part in The Stones still-to-be-seen TV Spectacular. Keith Richard and George Harrison have also worked together on Billy Preston recording sessions.
The Stones free open air concert will take part in the cockpit area and will begin at 1p.m following permission granted this week by the Ministry of Public Works.
J. J. Jackson is one of the names who may join the non-stop bill, and it is understood that Bandwagon were approached but have other commitments.
The Stones hope to give the concert a strong "Chart" flavour if possible, although the emphasis will be on artists and groups they admire.
If only, if only....
