Beatles/Rolling Stones Royal Albert Hall Concert
<B>Beatles/Rolling Stones Royal Albert Hall Concert Ticket, 1963.</B></I> A ticket stub from the "Great Pop Prom" concert at Royal Albert Hall, September 15, 1963 -- the first time the Beatles and the Rolling Stones played on the same bill, what surely must have been one heck of a show. Both bands had settled into their respective classic line-ups and were making a name for themselves (although the Beatles were closer to what would be their big breakthrough). Both destined to become major players in the British Invasion, their respective sounds would soon diverge into considerably different realms -- one experimental and introspective, the other more visceral and dark. (As Tom Wolfe put it in 1965: "The Beatles want to hold your hand, but The Stones want to burn your town.") The ticket is in great condition, with a minor amount of discoloration, a little edge wear, and the words "Stones/Beatles" written near the bottom edge in black ballpoint.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
