Beggars Banquet
1968 rock album
Beggars Banquet is the 1968 album by the Rolling Stones, marking their return to raw blues-influenced rock after psychedelic experimentation.
It opens with "Sympathy for the Devil" and includes "Street Fighting Man." The title suggests a feast for the dispossessed—humble fare made grand.
The phrase occasionally appears as a general term for a scrappy, makeshift gathering: The potluck turned into a proper beggars banquet.
