The Beatles escaped unhurt last night when a police van rushed them away from a theater in Lyon, France, colliding with a car.  The van overshot red lights to get away from a teenage mob pursuing the Beatles and hit the car with a French couple inside. John Lennon was thrown to the floor. The other Beatles held on to the side of the police van.

Dylan and Evans

This is a very interesting photo of Mal Evans talking to Bob Dylan during the Isle of Wight Festival in 1969.  

Arriving in Cambridge

After I posted the photo of a fan with two of the guys in Cambridge in 1963, I looked for some more photos from that date and I stumbled upon these treasures.    I love the guy in the photo with the screaming female fans.

Waiting for the van to come

Here is a little story from the July 1966 issue of Beatle Book Monthly

Fans clean van

The Beatles spent odd days in EMI's St. John's Wood studios working on tracks for their new L.P. right up to the time time they left for Germany. Their equipment van, a grey Commer, had got very dirty and covered in Beatle names scrawled in lipstick, so four fans, who had been waiting patiently outside for autographs, spent an hour cleaning it down for Mal. But no sooner had they finished and departed with many thanks from the Beatles Road Manager, when a new bunch of autograph hunters arrived and started writing new slogans on it.
