The Rolling Stones performed a free concert in Hyde Park on 5 July 1969, two days after his death. The concert had been scheduled weeks earlier as an opportunity to present the new guitarist. However, critics accused the band of being callous and uncaring about their former bandmate. In response to this criticism, the band dedicated the concert to Jones. Before the concert began, Jagger read excepts from, Adonais, a poem by Percy Shelley about the death of his friend John Keats. Their manager had come up with a plan to release thousands of white moths at the Hyde Park concert but, due to the extreme heat, most of the moths had already died in their boxes, and the surviving moths barely made it into the air before dying and falling on the heads of concertgoers. The Stones opened with a Johnny Winter song that was one of Brian's favorites, “I'm Yours And I'm Hers”.
