Fans at the first American concert
These girls (and guys) have the honor of being the first fans to have seen a full Beatles concert in America. Jude Kessler has cleared up the rumor and yes Cynthia Lennon and Louise Harrison were at this show.

I could have verified for you that Cynthia Lennon and Louise Harrison were in the Washington concert crowd. In 2012, I edited a book called "The Beatles: Monochrome" and there's a series of five photos of the two of them standing together in the audience. Cyn's wearing a brunette wig in order to remain incognito. There are fans all around them, oblivious to the fact that a Beatle sister and wife are among them!
ReplyDeleteThat has been a topic of debate for many, many years Mark. Glad to know that there is photographic evidence to back it up!
