, save for the bandmates themselves. And now, a relic from that night — one that was stolen from the Inner Richmond restaurant where the Fab Four ate prior to their fabled farewell more than 50 years ago — has been rediscovered.
Co-owner John Vilardi told the newspaper that Lennon had drawn “an interesting sort of Japanese sunset” while McCartney had etched out “faces in the abstract.” Before the band left for the concert, Simpson’s staff asked them to autograph their artwork, and proudly showed it off in a 12-foot-wide display window the following day.
