Vintage ballpoint signatures, "Brian Jones," "Mick Jagger," "Keith Richard," "Love, Charlie Boy," and "Bill Wyman," who adds "The Rolling Stones," on a 4 x 5 French police form used at the time for recording traffic violations, annotated at the bottom, "Les Rolling Stones a Lyon le 31/3/66." In very good to fine condition, with overall creasing and light toning, paper loss to the edges, and the reverse reinforced with tape. According to the accompanying handwritten provenance note, the signatures were obtained while transporting the Rolling Stones from their hotel to the Palais d’Hiver in Lyon.
The Lyon date fell in the middle of a brief French leg during the Rolling Stones' European tour, which ran from March 26 to April 5, 1966, and also took the band through the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, and Denmark. After two shows at Paris's L'Olympia on March 29th, the Stones played Marseille's Salle Vallier on March 30th, their first concert in France outside the capital, and one that turned chaotic when overcrowding led fans to break through glass doors between the two scheduled performances; Mick Jagger was struck in the face during the disturbance and required stitches. The Lyon date at the Palais d'Hiver came the very next night, March 31st, with the band promoting their current single, ‘19th Nervous Breakdown,’ released that February, weeks ahead of the April release of Aftermath.
