No it did not.The Beatles we’re planning a live concert at an entertainment venue like an arena or even a cruise ship , but then just settled on the roof top because George ,particularly did not want to do the former.I see no connection between the two other than the director

Could the Stones Rock and Roll Circus ( 11–12 December 1968) have inspired the Beatles rooftop concert (30 January 1969) ?

Didn't Something Happened To Me Yesterday "do" something in connection to the creation of Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heartsclub Band?

A total co-incidence?

Google tells me... "On the morning of November 19th, 1968, midtown Manhattan got a very rude awakening when Jefferson Airplane, one of the most potent rock acts that emerged from the San Francisco scene of the 1960s, started a free concert atop the roof of one of the older hotels in the neighborhood."
So, assuming that The Fabs knew about that, it (Jefferson's concert) is far far far more likely to have influenced the events at Apple than the R&R Circus.
Interesting thing to have found out about! :-)

I purchased a VCR tape of the Rock n Roll circus in 1996. I thought it was great! I always could not understand why the Stones did not release is earlier.

That's news to me. Can you provide a good source for that assertion? Thanks.

Hi CC. Some years ago I also mentioned that "story". I remember seeing an extensive interview with John Lennon and somewhere "in the middle" he talked about what inspired him listening to SHTMY, in particular the horn section. I spent hours and days trying to figure out which interview it was and in the end I managed to persuade the (then) chairman of a Dutch Beatles fanclub to help me out. But nothing turned up then. Like I said, I remember it was an extensive interview, so one would have to listen to all of it. Who knows, one day?

The untold truth is that it was Yoko's
love of The Drifters-Up On the Roof
that drove Lennon to push for a roof top concert .....
