1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Now Here's a Highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio.

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 2: Chuck Gunderson was raised in San Diego, the site of

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 2: the Beatles' eighth stop on the nineteen sixty five North

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 2: American Tour. He was too young to attend the show,

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 2: but fondly recalls his older siblings spinning the records of

6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 2: the Fab Four as he grew up, which perked a

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 2: lifelong love for the band. He's also worked in the

8
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 2: outdoor advertising industry most of his life, although his true

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 2: passion is history, and he obtained his BA at San

10
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 2: Diego State University and a Masters of the University of

11
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 2: San Diego, both in the field of history. Having published

12
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 2: a few articles over the years, Chuck turned his sites

13
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: to researching and writing the critically acclaimed Some Fun Tonight,

14
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: The Backstage Story of How the Beatles Rocked America the

15
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: historic Tours of nineteen sixty four through nineteen sixty six.

16
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: He's consulted on a number of various Beatles related projects,

17
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: such as director Ron Howard's recent documentary Eight Days a Week.

18
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: Chuck and his wife Christina live in Carlsbat, Californi, parents

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 2: of four children, each a self described Beatles fan Chuck Gunderson.

20
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Coast.

21
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 3: How are you hey, Richard? How are you? Thanks so

22
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 3: much for having me back on coast. It's always great

23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 3: to be here, and I really appreciate the little reminder

24
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 3: of Greek history. Thank you so much.

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 2: My pleasure, My pleasure speaking. Which did the Beatles ever

26
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: play in Greece?

27
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 3: No, they didn't. They never played in Greece, but they

28
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 3: loved Greece. They visited a few times.

29
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 2: That's right. There was a legendary story. There's a sandal

30
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: maker in Athens whose name escapes me, but he was

31
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 2: back in the sixties. Everyone came, all the celebrities came

32
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 2: to his little sandal shop to have him make their sandals,

33
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: and he made sandals for John Lennon. They still talk

34
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: about it. They're very proud of that. So how did

35
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: you track down all of these amazing photos, most of

36
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: which I've never even seen before. Plus there's you know,

37
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: all the images of the rare, the rare memorabilia. How

38
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: did you track all this down? I mean this could

39
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: not have been an easy task.

40
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 3: Well, the whole book was such a difficult task to

41
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 3: put together, because you know, I had the Beatles toured.

42
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 3: In the social media age, we could have had everything,

43
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 3: you know, photos and documents and all of that. The story,

44
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 3: you know, the Beatles would come to town. There might

45
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 3: be a you know, a headline, that type of thing

46
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,399
Speaker 3: in a column written, but very very short. The photos

47
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: were perhaps the hardest. I really had to do a

48
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 3: lot of digging into archives, newspaper archives and photo you know,

49
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 3: research libraries and you know, people that had photos in

50
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 3: their collection that were these shadowy figures I kind of

51
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 3: had to track down. And what's interesting is I would

52
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 3: find a photo in Denver and they'd say, oh, yes,

53
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 3: we have photos of them in Denver, and I'd get

54
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 3: the photos sent to me and they, oh, that's not

55
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 3: them in Denver, that's them in New York. So one

56
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: of the things I learned in researching the book is

57
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 3: that during that first tour, well all the tours subsequently,

58
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 3: is to follow the clothing from the minute they get

59
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 3: off the plane in say San Francisco in nineteen sixty four,

60
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 3: all the way until they get back on the plane

61
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: in New York. You know, at the end of September.

62
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: Is follow that clothing. You'll kind of figure out which

63
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 3: city they're in But when I published the book, yeah,

64
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 3: I mean I really wanted a lot of photos, and

65
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 3: especially the ones that fans hadn't seen, really rare stuff

66
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 3: that you know, would have laid in a dusty archived

67
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 3: somewhere until I unearthed it.

68
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: My understanding is that there was a pre order on this,

69
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: on this two volume set, four of them, which led

70
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: us to presume that the pre orders were from either

71
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: the surviving Beatles or the families of this the families

72
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: of the two deceased Beadles. Yeah.

73
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 3: Was actually after the book was published, I got a

74
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 3: very friendly note from the secretary at Apple, which is

75
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 3: the Beatles company, and it was before Apple Computer obviously,

76
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 3: and the email said, hey, you know, thanks for the

77
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 3: book that you've written about the tours, and the four

78
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 3: shareholders would like to have a copy. So obviously the

79
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 3: four shareholders at the time were Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr,

80
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 3: the wife of George Harrison, which was Olivia Harrison, and

81
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 3: the late wife or the wife of John Lennon, the

82
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: late John Lennon, Yoko Ono. So it was my pleasure

83
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 3: to send those quote shareholders book books and I was

84
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 3: able to include a note in each one. I don't

85
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 3: know if they ever read it or not, but at

86
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 3: least I included it in there, and it was a

87
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 3: real great honor for me to know that they have

88
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 3: those books.

89
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 2: So let's start with a sixty four tour or the

90
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: as hard as it may be to believe now looking

91
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: at backwards at the monumental success at the time, were

92
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: the Beatles at all reticent about this tour? Did they

93
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: have any I don't know, lingering doubts about how they'd

94
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 2: be received by fans, whether they could pull this off.

95
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 3: I think the Beatles were very familiar with the progression

96
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 3: that they were making. They never one of the hallmarks

97
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 3: of the Beatles that they never wanted to stay in

98
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 3: one place. They always wanted to progress. And I think

99
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 3: this was just this natural progression of playing you know,

100
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 3: the cavern in Liverpool, which that you know, whatever one

101
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 3: hundred people to, you know, moving out of the cavern

102
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 3: and moving into dance falls in Liverpool, and you moved

103
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 3: from dance falls to small theaters in and around the UK,

104
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 3: and you know, Brian Epstein, their manager, just kind of

105
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 3: nourished them and kept them going and it just kept

106
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 3: getting bigger and bigger and bigger. But by the time

107
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 3: they got to America in nineteen sixty four, especially during

108
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 3: that tour in August, you know, when they faced that

109
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 3: first crowd at San Francisco's cal Palace, that was the

110
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 3: largest crowd they had ever played to. It was about

111
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 3: eighteen thousand people, and the largest crowd they had played

112
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 3: to in the UK was about eight thousand people. Then

113
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 3: they had gone down to Australia in June and they

114
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 3: played to a crowd of about ten thousand people. So

115
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 3: they were just kind of going along and into getting

116
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 3: bigger and bigger and bigger, and they're going along with

117
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 3: it and just doing a great job, falling into place,

118
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 3: doing what they needed to do. And the thing about

119
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 3: the Beatles that I loved is they're just so they're

120
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 3: just such consummate professionals. They were willing to take on

121
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 3: the challenges. They were willing to just do these really

122
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: hard things that I think a lot of people would

123
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 3: think would be wow, I don't know if I can

124
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 3: do this to We're just going to go out there

125
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 3: and do it. And currently it went really well because

126
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 3: the crowds responded well and the concerts were mostly sold out.

127
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 3: On that first tour of nineteen sixty four.

128
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: Thirty two shows, twenty six venues, twenty four cities in

129
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 2: just thirty three days. And if you look at the itinerary,

130
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 2: they're not sort of doing it by you know, by

131
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: region by region. They're not, you know, going up and

132
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: down the East coast and then traveling maybe across the

133
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: South and then up central you know, the Midwest and

134
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: so forth. They're crisscrossing. They're going from east to west.

135
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: They're bouncing all over the place. Why was the tour

136
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: put together this way?

137
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 3: That's an interesting question. Richard Brian Epstein received about a

138
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 3: six page document from a company in New York called

139
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 3: General Artists Corporation and their vice president, Norman Wife he

140
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 3: was kind of the American contact that knew all the venues,

141
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 3: the hotels, you know, where they were going to play,

142
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 3: put together the support that would tour with them, and

143
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 3: he presented the sheet to Brian, and actually I have

144
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 3: the original copy of that, and it has Brian's checkbarks

145
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 3: is writing on it, his tea stains from his cup

146
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 3: of tea as he was pondering over these different cities

147
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 3: and venues that they would play at. And I actually

148
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 3: present that in the book, every all of it, you know,

149
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 3: in a very large format, so you can see every

150
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 3: jot and tittle of Brian's thinking. And it is interesting

151
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 3: that it was. It was somewhat very hapazard. When the

152
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 3: tour ended in the end of you know, September, Brian

153
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 3: or John Lennon spoke to a journalist. He said, we

154
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 3: will never do a tour like that again. And they

155
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 3: never did do another tour like that again. But the

156
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 3: planning of it was was somewhat strange because you know,

157
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 3: they started out in San Francisco, then they flew down

158
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 3: south to Las Vegas, then they flew all the way

159
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 3: north to Vancouver, then flew a little Southattle and then

160
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 3: flew all the way south again to the Hollywood Bowl

161
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 3: in La then across over to Denver and then over

162
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 3: into the to the eastern seaboard. I don't sometimes I

163
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 3: begin to think that Brian Epstein, you know, it was

164
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 3: a wonderful manager. He broke new ground. But sometimes I

165
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 3: think he didn't realize how vast the United States, well

166
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 3: North America is the United States and Canada, just how

167
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 3: large it is, how much ground it covers. The Beatles

168
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 3: could could play a gig in you know, south of

169
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 3: Liverpool and go back there to the south of England

170
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 3: and head back up to liver just driving around. And

171
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 3: when they got to America, I mean, by the time

172
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 3: they finished up the tour from London back to London,

173
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 3: it was around twenty two thousand miles that they had traveled.

174
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 3: So it was just this incredible journey. And sometimes they

175
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 3: would do a concert, finish up a concert. Instead of

176
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 3: staying the night in the whole hotel, they would get

177
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 3: on the plane at two in the you know, one

178
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 3: in the morning and fly for a couple hours to

179
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 3: the next city, landing in a city at three or

180
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 3: four in the morning, and then be driven to the

181
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 3: hotel and sleeping for a few hours and then back

182
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 3: to the venue. It was really quite a just just

183
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 3: an amazing kind of thing that they had done.

184
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: It paint us kind of a mental picture of the

185
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 2: reception they received from fans either at the airport or

186
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: outside their hotel, at the concert venue itself. I mean,

187
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 2: we have this this image because these legends about you know,

188
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 2: this is chaos and these the mob of fans that

189
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 2: were out of control wasn't really like that.

190
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 3: Absolutely, it was a complete besiegement everywhere they went. I

191
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 3: think they might have had the mistaken idea they could

192
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 3: have gotten out and explored a city, like a city

193
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 3: like New Orleans. They picked a city like Las Vegas

194
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 3: to go and perform in, which was quite an interesting

195
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 3: selection to even go to Las Vegas in nineteen sixty four.

196
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 3: It's not the Las Vegas we know of today, only

197
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 3: a one hundred thousand people living there. But everywhere they went.

198
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 3: When they first got to San Francisco, there were five

199
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 3: thousand fans at the airport, and the promoters or the

200
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 3: organizers of the concert had built a little kind of

201
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 3: welcome stage at the airport out in the field. They're

202
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 3: kind of off to the side of the runway. You know,

203
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 3: it's like maybe like a ten by ten. They put

204
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 3: some cyclone fencing around it, and they were going to

205
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 3: have the Beatles disembarked from the airplane and come to

206
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 3: this little podium and greet their fans. Well, they are

207
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 3: only on there for about thirty seconds before they realized

208
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 3: that we're going to have a real problem here and

209
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 3: these you know, the Beatles could be crushed to death.

210
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 3: But anywhere they went, they could not get out of

211
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 3: their hotel room all they really saw of America was airports, hotels, venues.

212
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 3: That was it. They just could not get around. There

213
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 3: was a few places where they did get out, just

214
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 3: for a little bit of time, but there just wasn't much.

215
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 3: Fans were besieging the hotels. They were trying to figure

216
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 3: out ways to get in. They were climbing up drain pipes,

217
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 3: they were coming in dressed as hotel maids, were hidden

218
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 3: in room service carts, just any way they could get

219
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 3: in to try to to try to get a visit.

220
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: With the Beetles.

221
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 3: It was just crazy pandemonium. I had the opportunity to

222
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 3: stay at the Brown Palace hotel in Denver about a

223
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 3: month ago where the Beatles were at, and it was

224
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 3: actually in their room sixty years to the day that

225
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: they were there, and it was fun for me just

226
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 3: to look out the window and kind of imagine the

227
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: crowds that were down below on the street at the

228
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 3: Brown Palace and how they just kind of surrounded the hotel.

229
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 3: Actually had the hotel historian take me on the original

230
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 3: route from when the Beatles got out of the limousine

231
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 3: and went up the freight elevator to their rooms. It

232
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 3: was just quite fascinating to kind of think that, but

233
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 3: you're correct. It was absolutely everything that everyone would think

234
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 3: about in terms of the fans and how much pandemonium

235
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 3: and chaos there was.
