Beatle fans had two chances to see the Fabs on October 14, 1964 in Manchester. First the Beatles "performed" on television where they were interviewed and mimed the song "I should've known better."
While this was going on, the guitar George was going to play that night at the ABC theater in Manchester was getting some needed repairs. Then the Beatles performed the 2 concerts. Unfortunately, this particular Manchester show seems to have been somewhat forgotten, as I couldn't find any photographs from the concert or even a memory or two from a fan that was there.
I do have some great shots from the Beatles television appearance that day for you to enjoy!

The first picture ("The Beatles have to get through the crowd of fans") - 5 August 1963, Abbotsfield Park Lancashire.
ReplyDeleteYeah I noticed their hair looks a lot shorter in that top pic. It looks like a 1963 pic.
ReplyDeleteI thought so as well, but it was on the Manchester newspaper website as 1964, so I just went with it. I will remove the photo and make it a separate entry (because it is an awesome photo).
