A pilfered relic from the night of the last concert the Beatles played together has been recovered and is going on the auction block.
It's a 14-inch by 17.5-inch cotton tablecloth bearing food and drink stains, autographs and several "acid-inspired doodles" and portraits by the Fab Four and Joan Baez. The group created the item during a catered dinner they had in a locker room at San Francisco's Candlestick Park on Aug. 29, 1966 — the night of the Beatles' last gig. The piece is being offered to the public in a Bonhams online auction beginning Friday for an estimated $15,000 to $25,000.
That night, the locker room had been set up as iconic band's dressing room and dining area and had been described as "chaos." The scene — even John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison's doodling with Pentel markers — was chronicled in the concert's many music reviews at the time.
