And then:

The One remains, the many change and pass.

Heaven’s light for ever shines, earth’s shadows fly;

Life, like a dome of many-coloured glass

Stains the white radiance of Eternity

Until Death tramples it to fragments. – Die,

If thou wouldst be that which thou dost seek!

Before the group could plunge into the opening riff of ‘Honky Tonk Women’, several cardboard boxes were emptied into the air: hundreds of white butterflies rose above the stage. Yet it became apparent that, rather fittingly, this tribute to the memory of Brian Jones was somewhat flawed. The long, hot hours imprisoned in the cardboard boxes had led to the deaths of most of the butterflies, and only a small percentage escaped their prisons. For the entirety of their set, Mick and the Stones felt the corpses of desiccated butterflies scrunching beneath their feet as they moved about the stage. Thus did they enact their tribute to Brian, founder of the Rolling Stones.
