The Beatles and The Rolling Stones in ‘All You Need Is Love‘

Beatles song, recorded at EMI Studios, London, on June 25 1967, on which Mick and Keith provided backup vocals. Mick, Keith and Marianne Faithfull joined the festivities when the Beatles performed this song live to the world via the Our World telecast in the same year. George Harrison recalled: “If you look closely at the floor, I know that Mick Jagger is there. But there’s also an Eric Clapton, I believe, in full psychedelic regalia and permed hair, sitting right there.”

Mick was a semi-regular guest of honor at Beatles sessions: He also turned up for the mixing of Revolver and the recording of the orchestral section of A Day in the Life. Eric Clapton was also in the crowd – “in full psychedelic regalia and permed hair”, Harrison said. Other notables in attendance were Keith Moon and Graham Nash, not to mention Mike McCartney (Paul’s brother), Patti Boyd Harrison (George’s wife) and Jane Asher (McCartney’s girlfriend)

Mick Jagger & Keith Richards Join The Beatles on All You Need Is Love

In 1967, the Summer of Love was in full swing, and The Beatles recorded All You Need Is Love as a message of peace. The track, performed live on the Our World broadcast, became an anthem of the era. Among the many famous faces in the studio that day were none other than Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones. They joined the chorus, adding their voices to the song’s iconic singalong finale.

We Love You – A Stones Tribute with a Beatles Touch

Just weeks later, The Rolling Stones released We Love You, their own psychedelic masterpiece, which was partly a response to their recent legal troubles. The track featured none other than John Lennon and Paul McCartney on backing vocals, creating a rare but powerful Beatles-Stones collaboration. The song’s music video even had Jagger playing Oscar Wilde in a surreal courtroom setting.

These moments captured the spirit of 1967—when rock’s biggest bands weren’t rivals but allies, spreading messages of love and rebellion. Whether it was Jagger and Richards singing with The Beatles or Lennon and McCartney backing The Stones, the music of that summer still resonates today.
