Heading toward St. Louis

The Beatles got onto a plane and went over 300 miles to St. Louis, Missouri.  Bob Bonis took photos of this for us to enjoy 50 years later.



Barry from ??? the Remains, George and Neil enjoy a smoke and a soda before take off.

  1. In the third photo showing George and Neil with a member of the Remains: That's definitely not Barry Tashian standing with them. It looks more like Remains keyboardist Bill Briggs.

    1. I wasn't 100% sure on which Remain it was. Honestly, it was a long day of posting and I was getting tired of looking things up.

  2. Don't worry about it, Sara. I just wanted to point it out as I knew it wasn't Barry and it looked most like Bill. I've seen many photos of the Remains as I'd helped Barry Tashian with his book on the '66 tour and also edited Chuck Gunderson's book which included a chapter on the Remains. It's definitely Bill Briggs with George and Neil. A couple of other postings of this photo concur: https://www.tumblr.com/search/bill%20briggs

    1. Yes, you would know what he looked like! I was fortunate to talk to him on the phone for my book, but I am not totally sure which one of the band members is who.
