"I was there at Sydney Stadium on the night after Paul’s birthday to see them perform. I won tickets to see them through a newspaper contest. I had to take my cousin with me as none of my friends were allowed to go … It was the greatest night of my life." – Denise, aged 14 (at the time)
"I too was there at the Beatles concert at the Sydney
Stadium. I was 13 at the time & was with 2 older teenage girlfriends &
the younger sister of one of the girls (my friend) so 4 of us girls all
screaming like crazy (& standing on the backs of our seats for a better view
of them on the revolving stage). We backed up & went to the Sheraton Hotel
the next day to scream underneath their balcony. When the Beatles drove out we
managed to throw a pack of Chocolate Peppermint Patties into John's lap in the
back seat. I will never forget these moments".--Joollz

"I was recording for EMI records at the time. I was just a kid of 14. I might have been a professional singer who had a little career, but I was still a teenager. So I just got truly sucked up in the atmosphere and the ambiance. Before I knew it, I was standing on my seat screaming and loving every minute of it. I couldn't hear much, but I really like it. Afterwards the EMI representatives took me backstage to meet the Beatles, which was really lovely. I remember them being very polite. I thought they really were working class young gentlemen." --"Little" Pattie
"I was at the later concert. My mother was there with my little sister. Look, honestly we didn't hear them. 'Please Please me,' 'She Loves you'-- we never heard those songs. We were just so busy screaming. I just thought that John was looking at me every time the stage went around." --Jenny Kee
''My brother kept telling me I couldn't scream,'' ''And after
three songs, he said, 'You can scream'. And I screamed myself hoarse.'' --Roslyn Forrest
