I discussed this in my book-here is the quote: "The band were also asked to participate in a massive free concert being organized by Bill Graham that would take place in Leningrad on July 4.  The show would feature Western and Soviet artists and it was hoped that it would foster greater cultural exchange between the super-powers.  The concert was to be documented by filmmaker Dmitri Gruenwald.  Unfortunately, it never happened.  By late June plans had run aground because officials from the Soviet Film Agency found historical inaccuracies in the script."
