When:

Short story:

The Rolling Stones play their last show at The Crawdaddy Club, Richmond, London, England, UK, Europe. Their regular slot is taken over by The Yardbirds.

Full article:

Eric Clapton (guitarist, The Yardbirds] : A year after The Stones had been playing this residency, this guy Andrew Loog Oldham came in with a whiz-kid attitude, thought there was some money to be made here, and signed them up. They left The Crawdaddy, and that's when The Yardbirds got their opportunity to move in.

The Yardbirds became the house band, and then we lost the use of the premises, and we went over to the Richmond Athletic Club, the rugby club. It became a cult place to go. The Birds, with Ronnie Wood, they were in there, and a lot of other groups moved through after I'd split from The Yardbirds.
