The Rolling Stones
In December 1968 The Rolling Stones organised two filmed concerts on a circus stage and invited a number of key artists such as The Who and a supergroup consisting of John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards and Mitch Mitchell from The Jimi Hendrix Experience. It was the last public appearance by the original line-up of The Stones. Despite striking a deal to air the concerts on the BBC, The Stones pulled them at the last minute and it was 28 years before they were finally televised. This guitar, customised with a multi-coloured flame by Richards, was played by him at the concerts.
