The Beatles

Description:

1964 takes The Beatles to the USA at the height of Beatlemania. Touring on the back of Please Please Me, With The Beatles, Beatles For Sale and a flurry of iconic early singles, this prized edition charts the real rise of the band. The first official tour of North America would have the group play a staggering 32 shows in 26 venues in 24 cities in just 33 days. During the tour, the group encountered total chaos in every city they played. Ever-elaborate plans had to be drawn up to transport the Fab Four to hotels and venues including the use of ambulances, police paddy wagons, armoured trucks, and, in one case an empty fish truck. Hucksters as well as managers of five star hotels gathered up bed linens, pillowcases and even the carpet the Beatles walked on to be cut and sold off to fans that were eager to get their hands on anything the Beatles touched. It was that same year The Beatles made their now-iconic debut on The Ed Sullivan Show, which had a reputation for launching acts was beginning to gather momentum and the chance to be broadcast to 100 million televisions-set owners was surely too big to turn down for the Fab Four.No musical act before or since will ever rival The Beatles on their ground-breaking 1964 tour, itwould not only leave an indelible impression on their fans in the United States and Canada, but also leave the continent with devotees hungering for more. 2 Radio broadcasts on one cd.
