Description

The Beatles' North American tours revolutionized the entertainment industry, forever changing the concert touring landscape. In February 1964, the Fab Four arrived in the US, performing on the Ed Sullivan Show and at Carnegie Hall, and playing concerts at the Washington Coliseum. Over the next two years, they conquered America with their groundbreaking series of concerts. This two-volume set provides a comprehensive city-by-city account of the Beatles' activities during their three North American tours. From the Cow Palace show in San Francisco to their final live performances at Candlestick Park, the books cover the music, mayhem, and behind-the-scenes stories that characterized this pivotal period in the Beatles' career. With hundreds of photographs and images of rare memorabilia, the books offer a unique insight into the Beatles' North American tours. You'll read about the negotiations, airport and hotel antics, press conferences, and the stories behind the shows through the eyes of the Beatles, their entourage, promoters, emcees, and fans. This is the most in-depth coverage of the Beatles' North American concerts ever published, making it an essential reference for fans and music historians alike.
