In the meantime Gomelsky had befriended a group called the Beatles who were a big noise in Liverpool and had come to London for the first time in early 1963; in April he invited them to the Crawdaddy to see his new house band. Bill Wyman recalled: “ Soon after we began our first set, we were staggered to see the four Beatles standing and watching us. They were dressed identically in long leather overcoats. I became very nervous, and said to myself: 'S---, that’s the Beatles!’ ” Afterwards they all went back to Mick Jagger’s flat in Chelsea.

How the story should probably end:
"Afterwards they all went back to Mick Jagger’s flat in Chelsea" and smoked a bowl.<<<<<

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Why do you think that? The encounter occurred a year and a half before Bob Dylan introduced the Beatles to marijuana.
