Very scarce unused ticket/invitation to the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus, 5 x 3, which occurred at the Intertel Television Studios, Wembley, Middlesex, England, on December 11, 1968. Text on the reverse reads, “You are invited to the Rolling Stones’ Rock and Roll Circus on Wednesday, 11th December 1968 at the studios of Intertel Television, Wycombe Road, Wembly, Middlesex. Nearest tube: Stonebridge Park…15.30–18.00 costumes provided.” An ink notation underneath indicates a time change to 3:30.” A clipped top right corner, a couple small surface creases, and aforementioned notation on reverse, otherwise fine condition. Conceived by Mick Jagger as a way to branch out from conventional performances, the show featured the Stones, the Who, Jethro Tull (chosen over a recently formed Led Zeppelin), and a one-off perfomance of the supergroup The Dirty Mac, comprised of John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, and Mitch Mitchell. A very rare souvenir from this legendary event. RR Auction COA.
