Thank you so much, everyone! I think we have a winner.Quote

The Byrds performed the 11th of May 1968 at Middle Earth in London, Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithfull came in to witness the gig. Stonehenge was probably visited in May, I think…
I seem to recall 2 different stories, but I don't have any actual references at hand--one is just as runaway says above, that
at least Mick and Marianne (if not other Stones et al.) went to see the Byrds and something like MJ and Marianne invited a couple of the Byrds over to their place and an enjoyable time was had by all; the other story is Keith's saying that he and Mick met Gram at the same time but Gram and Mick never hit it off, while KR and Gram were love at first sight.
The reason I'm wondering has to do with Keith starting to write and record those very country-infused deep-South bluesy songs that would end up on Beggars Banquet. Just curious about the timing of that inspiration and meeting Gram.
thanks again
