1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: Twelfth of June a big day in music history in 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: Adelaide because it's the day in sixty years when it 3 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: comes round to the twelfth early next week that the 4 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: Beatles were here playing in Adelaide, twelfth of June nineteen 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: sixty four. If you go back fifty years before that, 6 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: chap by the name of W. C. Fields happened to 7 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: be in Adelaide on that same day, but in nineteen fourteen, 8 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: performing at Her Majesty's. So that got me thinking, and 9 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: Bob Burn as well, about acts that have come to Adelaide. 10 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: Could be music, could be anything, could be Marcel Marceau's 11 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: He didn't say a lot, but I got his best 12 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: of album at home somewhere. But anyway, Bob Byrne, good 13 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: morning to you. 14 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 2: Ah, Matthew, very good. I'm extremely well. When we started 15 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,480 Speaker 2: to communicate about what we were going to talk about 16 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 2: today and you reminded me that it was sixty years 17 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 2: ago on the twelfth of June that the Beatles came 18 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 2: to town, I went back and I thought, I'm sure 19 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,119 Speaker 2: I've done something about the Beatles before, and of course 20 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 2: ten years ago. Can you believe I wrote a stuffy 21 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 2: in the advertiser. My god, I've I been doing it 22 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 2: for that long, and I went through and did the 23 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 2: whole thing. And so it was fifty years ago this 24 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 2: week that Adelaide became the center of the entire universe 25 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 2: for a day. What a great way to start. 26 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:35,119 Speaker 1: It, absolutely yourself, when more than. 27 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,559 Speaker 2: Three hundred thousand people turned out to welcome the world's 28 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 2: number one pop music group, the Beatles. Now, you know, 29 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 2: it was one of the greatest days in pop music 30 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 2: history in Adelaide and maybe even in Australia, the way 31 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 2: that Adelaide turned out and the excitement on the day 32 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 2: was fairly powerful. Out I wasn't here continue believe that. 33 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: Wow, are you're north somewhere? 34 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 2: I was? I was, Yes, I was. I was in 35 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 2: Porto Gusta. I was doing the breakfast show at Radio 36 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 2: five AU and Portagusta, And of course the manager wasn't 37 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,679 Speaker 2: going to let me come down to Odabay and then 38 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 2: have a day off. So I missed it. I missed 39 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 2: the greatest moment of pop music history. And anyway, I'm 40 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 2: just rereading the story, you know, kind of it gets 41 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 2: you all excited again because you remember back to that 42 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 2: that time and how exciting. The whole thing was, you know, 43 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 2: the whole story about how Ron Tremaine had had approached 44 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: John Martin's to guarantee the financial success of the visit. 45 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 2: They wrote a check. I think you and I might 46 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 2: have might have actually spoken about it. 47 00:02:58,520 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: Rings a bell. 48 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they wrote a check for oh, I don't 49 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: know was it. Would it have been six. 50 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 3: And a half thousand pounds or something. 51 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: Four? 52 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, probably, you know, like six five hundred pounds, which 53 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 2: is a lot of money back. And Ron also enlisted 54 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 2: the support of Bob France and of course the late 55 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 2: Big Bob and Jim Slade, and they gathered some eighty 56 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: thousand odd signatures. And Ron actually flew to Melbourne, and 57 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 2: the story is that he stayed in the promoter's office. 58 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 2: He refused to leave until Ken Rodziak actually agreed to 59 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 2: talk to him, and that was the only way that 60 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 2: he was able to actually get the story across. And eventually, 61 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 2: of course, you know, we know the result that they, yes, 62 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 2: John Martin's was prepared to underwrite the whole thing. Fancy 63 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 2: even having to underwrite it, but still, I guess, you know, 64 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 2: they just wanted to make sure that it was definitely 65 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 2: going to be a success, and the build up to 66 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 2: the arrival was really electrifying. And one of the things 67 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 2: I think that a lot of people forget about was 68 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 2: the actual build up, you know, whether it was the 69 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 2: and the Beatles performed four concerts at Centennial Hall, and 70 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 2: people who went along said, you couldn't hear a single thing, 71 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 2: You couldn't hear anything from the group at all. But 72 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 2: you know, the build up to the arrival through the newspapers, 73 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 2: through radio, it was just and television, it was just electric. 74 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 2: And you know, I spoke to a lot of people 75 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 2: when I wrote this article. I spoke to well, one 76 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 2: was Mark Costello who said I waged school from Strathmont 77 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 2: Boys Tech to get tickets because tickets were being sold 78 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 2: at John Martin's. And apparently the lineup went around the 79 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 2: block into Rundle Street, Rundle Street as it was then 80 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 2: yet and all around right around to North Terrace, right 81 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 2: around King William Street, back up Rundle Street, right to 82 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 2: John Martin. There was there was a queue and it 83 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 2: was like a twenty four hour day Q and so 84 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 2: everybody was standing there just waiting for you know, more 85 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 2: than twenty four hours. If you wanted to go to 86 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,239 Speaker 2: the toilet. The only place to go was the Adelaide 87 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 2: Railway sea so you say to the person behind you, 88 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 2: you know, can you look after my puzzy, I've got 89 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 2: to go, And so you'd off to the toilets at 90 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 2: the railway station and people would look after your spot 91 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 2: in the line. And of course then there were lots 92 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 2: of stories. I spoke to Maureen Hall, who lined up 93 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 2: for a friend but had told her parents she was 94 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 2: at her friend's house, obviously telling Porky's never pays off. 95 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: The TV cameras came along and I guess who was watching? 96 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: Hilarious My dad. 97 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 2: We only lived in North Adelaida, so he drove straight 98 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 2: in and ride. So wouldn't it be fun today to 99 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 2: hear from people whose memories go back sixty years? 100 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: My goodness, so we're talking.

But 172 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure unless I'm very much mistaken, But I'm 173 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 6: pretty sure that we were in Goda Place and they 174 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 6: were selling the tickets opposite where we were camped, and 175 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 6: it was at Alan's Music shop at the time. 176 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 2: That would have been Alan's. 177 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, they must, they must. 178 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 2: They must have sold them at two places, because I 179 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 2: have a photo here of Grimmitt photo of young women 180 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 2: among the first fans queued up to buy their tickets 181 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 2: at John Martin's department store. So they must have sold 182 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 2: them at two places. They probably might need, yeah, they probably. 183 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 6: You know. And because it was Randall Street in those days, 184 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 6: Mum and Dad came in on the Saturday night and 185 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 6: with hot fruit for us to tea that night, and 186 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 6: you know, we were very lucky. And Mom came in 187 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 6: and actually the advertiser or whoever it was, was going 188 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 6: around taking photos and they took a photo of Mum 189 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 6: buying something from the parsky man or something for her breakfast, 190 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 6: because she caught the first bus in to take our 191 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 6: spots so we could go and go to school, because 192 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 6: our headmistress did it. If you don't go to school Monday, 193 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 6: look out, and so we did. We did that. But 194 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 6: like Bob's there there was three or four concerts, but 195 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 6: you couldn't hear a thing. I think Genial wore. It 196 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 6: was just all girls screaming. Yeah, and you know, oh, 197 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 6: it's wonderful. 198 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 7: To think back. 199 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 6: Poor old Ringo wasn't there, but never mind. He got 200 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 6: he was crooked or something, and they left him up 201 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 6: in Brisbane or wherever he was, and somebody else took 202 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 6: his place. But that great show. 203 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, yea, Gloria, thank you. How long ago? How long 204 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: before the show with the tickets on sale? 205 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 2: I wonder what it was the weekend? The weekend, okay, yeah, 206 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 2: and just talking there about the kids having to, you know, 207 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 2: turn up for school. I spoke with Pam Bray. Now 208 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 2: I'm not sure how many people that I spoke to 209 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 2: when I wrote the story are still with us today. 210 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 2: But Pam said preflex were on the gates. This is 211 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 2: the Adelaide Girls High School went into lockdown on the day. 212 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 2: Prefects were on the gates and no doctor's appointments were 213 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 2: allowed to rub salt into the wounds. Adelaide boys were 214 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 2: allowed to line the streets on West Terrace and waves. 215 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 2: I remember our science teacher came back and told us 216 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 2: how great they were. Luckily, I later went to the 217 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 2: concert at Centennial Hall, and my parents took my best 218 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 2: friend and me to see them on the balcony at 219 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 2: the South Australian Hotel, because that was the other thing. 220 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 2: Of course, after they left the Adelaide Town Hall, they 221 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 2: drove around to South Terrace to the South Australia Hotel, 222 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 2: nor Terrest and over the weekend. How many people can 223 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 2: remember North Terrasts that weekend because they closed North Terrastown 224 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 2: they had to, and people just stayed in the street. 225 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 2: Some people camped in the street just to stay there, 226 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 2: just to get a glimpse. 227 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: So unreal, isn't it. 228 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 2: If the Beatles came out onto the balcony at any stage, 229 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 2: and every now and again one of them would appear 230 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 2: in the entire street went a rot Norman screaming and yelling, Ah, 231 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 2: what were we thinking? 232 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, Jimmy, Jimmy Nichol. To glorious point was the drummer 233 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: who replaced Ringo. So Jimmy Nichol, and he got paid. 234 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: He was given a watch, a gold watch at about 235 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: fifty pounds and that was his that was his payment, 236 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: and he went off into obscurity. Beyond that point. 237 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I imagine it. Wouldn't have been 238 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 2: too good for Jimmy, you know, to be that faded 239 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 2: and loved and the center of attention. Yeah, shot short 240 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 2: what yes, yeah, because I think Ringo rejoined them. Ringo 241 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 2: had a pendicitis, didn't he something like that? Yeah, came 242 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 2: down with a pen so he wasn't away very long. 243 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 2: But and Jimmy filled in for him. But yeah, it 244 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 2: would have been a terrible let just to return to London. 245 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 2: And apparently he left Adelaide totally alone and or yeah, 246 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 2: I think it was Adelaide where he left totally alone 247 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 2: and nobody there to say good bye. 248 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: There. We are all right now, Will and Peter and others. 249 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: Just hang on there and we'll get to you after 250 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: the news headlines.

Hi, Jan, Look here, I was fifteen in my 265 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 3: first year of apprentice chef at that time, and I 266 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 3: don't know whether you can remember Miller Anderson's at the 267 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 3: back of our hotel, but right at the back day 268 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 3: we were all cordinged off with cyclone fencing so there 269 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 3: couldn't be any gate crushes. So we even had to 270 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 3: convince the security that we will we actually worked there, 271 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 3: but it was it was just a madhouse and the 272 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 3: people there were just, oh, it was unbelievable, the screaming. 273 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 3: And luckily I got a ticket, or we had a 274 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 3: few mates of mine got a ticket, and we were 275 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 3: three rows from the front of the stage at Centennial 276 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 3: Hall and you couldn't you couldn't hear the band at all, 277 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 3: hardly because of the screaming. It was just but it was. 278 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 3: It was an experience that was absolutely terrific. And actually 279 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 3: I actually spoke to John Lennon on the room service phone, 280 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 3: which which I usually, you know, anybody can pick up 281 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 3: when it rings in the kitchen, so I picked I 282 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,159 Speaker 3: picked it up, and I just somebody just ordered breakfast 283 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 3: and I passed it on and then they said, do 284 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 3: you know who remember that was? And they just they 285 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 3: told me who it was, so I didn't even realize 286 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 3: I actually was speaking to. 287 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 8: Yeah. 288 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 3: So that that was an experience that I sort of 289 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 3: liked and regretted. 290 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 5: In one race, what. 291 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: Did he order? Will do you remember what he ordered? 292 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 3: I think he ordered rice bubbles, yeah, and and some 293 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 3: toast of something. It's too long ago now, but I 294 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 3: justly remember that that they were the words that I 295 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 3: can remember. But yeah, I didn't find that out till 296 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 3: probably a bit later when I when I started talking 297 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 3: to the year waiting stuff and whatever. 298 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 9: You. 299 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a good experience and we did line up. 300 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 3: I did myself, but we did line up at Alan's 301 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 3: in the Galler place there for twenty four hours vitually 302 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 3: to get the tickets here. 303 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 10: It was. 304 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 3: It was a good time. 305 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: But the waiter to take up the rice bubbles. That 306 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: would have been an experience in itself. 307 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 3: Well, it's something. Unfortunately I had so much memorabilia, but 308 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 3: I never even gave it a thought to hang one 309 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 3: for stuff like that. No, yes, that's my story. 310 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 1: You will, that's great. In fact, hold the line.

I thought, yeah, I'm 409 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 11: going to a cat. 410 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 10: It wasn't a cat. 411 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 11: It was a great big rat beside the cat. Something 412 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 11: tied up blake and there wasn't a sleeping bag then. 413 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 11: But the concert itself that was as you said, Friday 414 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 11: was at twelfth and. 415 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 2: I've never heard of thing. 416 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 3: And I think that the con the Beatles ever did 417 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 3: where they said they couldn't hear themselves play ten Hall. Yeah, 418 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 3: girls were jumping up on seat. 419 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: You know. 420 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 2: It was actually broadcast live five d N I think 421 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 2: strangely because I don't think they were even the music 422 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 2: station at the time. I think they were always a 423 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:59,719 Speaker 2: talk station, or at least there they had, you know, 424 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 2: more more middle of the road music. But five to 425 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 2: the end actually broadcast the Beatles live. Now, I don't 426 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 2: know whether there are still recordings around of that particular broadcast. 427 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 5: Then I don't think it's very good. 428 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 2: No, no, no, no no.
