Even little green creatures get to meet Paul

 

Taping Session in Seattle

Chicago taping session

I was able to match these photos up to the taping session in Chicago, Illinois on August 12, 1966 because of that couch.   

Chicago Taping Session

Beatles Chicago Taping session

Since the Beatles already took care of their press conference the day before the Chicago shows, instead of doing the traditional between-shows press conference, the Beatles did a "taping session."  This is where reporters, most of whom were the ones that traveled with them, would record short interviews with each Beatle individually. I spot Rumi from Music Life Magazine, Marilyn Doerflers, and Bess Coleman---what reporters do you see?

A taping session in action

Sometimes before a Beatles concert, the guys would hold what was called "taping sessions."   Reporters from various newspapers and even student reporters would go from cot to cot and interview one Beatle at a time.   Here is a photo of one going on during the 1965 N. American tour.   The young lady who is waiting her turn looks to be a Paul fan.

I thought about trying to "clean up"this photo but for some reason I sort of like the faded vintage look of it. I am not sure why...
