RED:Hi,my name is Red Robinson
Since 1954,I've been at the center of rock n' roll
I was there when rock was born
Rock n' roll went to a soft period in the early sixties
The British never stop rocking
And then was reborn
and by the mid-sixties invade the North America with a solid sound of rock n' roll
and have been last for number of years
And we now refer to those years as the”British invasion”
It was spirit-headed by the Beatles
who give rock n' roll a new breath of life
The fifties launched the new sound
and the sixties enhanced it60
The Beatles's music took the sound into a new height of appreciation
adding millions of new fans along the way
In 1964,Beatlemania swiped North America and the world
It was the birth of the mercy sound
It was only a matter of time before the chief proponent of British rock would take the music on tour
The first Beatles tour of North America took place in 1964
The circuit included the Pacific Northwest and the city of Vancouver
It was entirely inproperate that the Beatles should make an appearance in Vancouver
Where that city had welcomed the king of rock n' roll Elvis Presley in 1957
More than twenty thousand fans assembled at the Empire stadium on Saturday,August 22nd
Eight-nine newsmen crowded into a room designed for forty
including the travelling Beatles expert from the Liverpool Echo and the London Daily Mirror
And the tennis-match press conference began with the Beatles winning the match

Q: You're all Torries, is that correct

RED:One of the most fascinating questions in this conference was the number of people employed by Beatles at that time
Q: How many people do the Beatles employ, as a group The organization, The Beatles, Limited
PAUL: Oh, us I don't know, you see, because much of the people that work with us
GEORGE: I think 'we' only employ about two people
PAUL: Most of the people that work with us work for 'NEMS,' which is our manager's company
GEORGE: We employ two, and that's it
PAUL: And they have artists like Gerry and the Pacemakers, Cilla Black, and alot of other people, you know Billy J Kramer
JOHN: We have two permanently with us One press agent and one road manager Oh no, and a heavy

Q: You do carry a bodyguard, then
BEATLES: No
JOHN: You don't need to with all those police!
Q: Do you find that you're losing your popularity in England
JOHN: No, not according to record sales
Q: Then it's all just rumors
PAUL: Yeah Actually, we heard before
JOHN: They've been knocking us off since the third record
PAUL: before we went to Liverpool last time
for the Northern Premiere of the film, you know
we'd been down in London alot
because we'd been doing the film and TV and things
and everybody was saying
I've just been up to Liverpool
and they hate you up there
and it's terrible Nobody likes you anymore
And we believed 'em, you know, 'cuz we read the paper, same as anyone else
And we went up there
and it was the most ridiculous reception we've had anywhere, you know
So I give-in believing these rumors
Q: Can I ask you if you've ever had a press reception in a more uncomfortable room
JOHN: Yeah
PAUL: I don't know
Q: Where
JOHN: I don't know
Q: How do you feel being compared to Dave Clark Five
JOHN: We're compared to everybody
PAUL: Don't mind
Q: How about your horse, how's it doing your race horse
PAUL: Great! The first time out It's not mine, it's my dad's
you know It's nothing to do with me First time out it came second, and the last time out it won
JOHN: And then it died
Q: Does this mob of police protection come out of your take
or is the management here to accept responsibility for paying them
JOHN: I don't know who pays 'em, but we don't
PAUL: The last place we played at, it was the management of the place I don't know, it may be the same now
GEORGE: But we just tour, we don't do all that
Q: You'd miss them, though
PAUL: Oh, yeah
RINGO: Really
JOHN: Yeah Well I mean, if we can't get in a place, we can't go, can we It's the promoter's money
Q: How long will you be on the road before you go home
PAUL: About four more weeks
Q: What is the best group of teenagers, well-behaved, you've ever had
PAUL: Um I don't know They're about the same all over the world Just got different accents
Q: What city have you had your worst time in
PAUL: City，Don't know, because
you know things that some people think are the worst time, we think are the best
you know But I can't remember a worst time
Q: You've been roughed-up and jostled in various places you've been
Can you think of one in particular that was worse than the others
PAUL: No, you know Not
JOHN: We've not been really roughed at all, you know
Q: Where do you think the biggest reception crowd has been
JOHN: Biggest crowd was Liverpool
RINGO: Liverpool
Q: How many
JOHN: I don't know
GEORGE: A lot
JOHN: Just more than the other
Q: Sydney was the biggest, wasn't it
PAUL: Sydney
JOHN: Ah, well
PAUL: I don't know, but there was alot in Liverpool
Q: How long did it take you to make your movie
JOHN: Eight weeks, was it
PAUL: Yes
JOHN: They were trying to make it in three, but we argued
Q: Do you like the movie
PAUL: It's good, you know
Q: How's it doing where it's showing, do you know
RINGO: It's doing well
JOHN: It's breaking records, I've heard I don't want to brag
Q: Is it true that some of your birthday mail went in the fire and you didn't even see it
GEORGE: No, untrue Well, I think so Actually, it was, umm
PAUL: I don't think that was the rumor anyway, you know
JOHN: The rumor was it went in the bin By the time it gets over here, it's on fire
PAUL: Some people found some mails and I think it was about two letters out of thousands
you know which had been unopened They'd been sent to the fan clubs
and the fan club was supposed to open and read 'em
and then throw 'em And there were about two that they'd forgotten to open
so this was a great big scandal, you know It was just a slip-up
Q:Thank you very much!
JOHN:Than you!
RED:We joined the Beatles two years later in 1966 in Seattle,Washington,the date is August 27th
Another city,and another press conference,it’s 8 pm
Fifteen thousand fans are vailing for the night performance in the Seattle Colosseum
Meanwhile the presses again talking with Beatles
Leading up to B-Day,rumours had abounded that Paul Cartney is going to marry long-time girlfriend Jane Asher,
Sister of Peter Asher of Peter&Gordon fame,but it turned out to be just that rumours
MC: Can we have the first question, please
Q: John, could you please tell me something about your new movie, 'How I Won The War
JOHN: Oh, I don't know anything about it except for I'm in it
and it's about the last world war
Q: I'd like to address a question to Paul McCartney
Would you confirm or deny the report of your marriage to Jane Asher in Seattle this evening
PAUL: It's tonight, yeah
Q: What time and where
PAUL: Tonight-- I can't tell you that, now can I
PAUL: I couldn't tell ya it's a secret
GEORGE: OK, it's a secret We don't want all the people there, do we
Q: You are confirming the report
PAUL: No, not really It was it's a joke
Who started this Anyone know Does anyone know I just got in today and found out I was getting married tonight
No, she is not coming in tonight as far as I know
GEORGE: And if she does, we are going out tonight anyway cause we'll miss her
Q: I'd like to direct this to any of the Beatles Do you believe that you represent a different type of morality
or a new type of morality-- than, say, the 'Rolling Stones' or the protest groups
JOHN: Are they a protest group Since when
Q: No 'OR a protest group
PAUL: OR a protest group! No We don't represent anything like that
It's the 'Cyrkle' that do that
_'Turn Down Day' I think you've heard that one, haven't you! Folk song!
Q: I'd like to ask John Lennon a question
I hope I get a chance to ask him a second one This is sort of double-barreled I'd like to know your motivation in this Money I'd like to think it's enjoyment
and I'd like to think you're having as much fun as you seem to be when you're doing it
JOHN: Well, when I look as though I'm having fun
I am, you know When I'm not-- I'm not, usually So it varies
Q: Do I get another chance One more chance I have this little prediction that in 25 years you're going to be a great writer
I'd like to talk to you about it sometime
_Well, I mean, we're between 25 years then
Q: I'll make you a date
JOHN: OK
GEORGE: See ya, Penny Lane
Q: I'd like to address this question to anybody in the group
What about the next movie
heard alot of stories
nothing's confirmed Has there been anything decided
PAUL: Nothing
GEORGE: Somebody gave us a good idea
so we told him to go and write it into a script
So we won't really be able to tell if we're gonna make the film until we've read the script
And as he hasn't finished the script, we haven't read the script
so we won't know yet until about Christmas
maybe But if it is a good one and we like it
we'll probably start it 'round about January, February, or March or December
Q: I have three questions, if I can For one
Do you think the audience that your music attracts has changed from say the thirteen and fourteen year old girls to more of the college age
and that if so, do you like it better that way
PAUL: Uhh, I think it's probably got a bit older I don't know how old And it's nice
and that if so, do you like it better that way
Q: Did you intend it that way
PAUL: No We don't intend anything, you know That's the trouble
JOHN: It all happens
_Also, Paul-- Since your rumors were denied
then what are you doing after the show
PAUL: I don't know, marrying you, probably!
Q: How are the attendance on this tour compared to past American tours
PAUL: It's been apparently been more at the shows than there were last time
Q: Do you think that the so-called adverse publicity hurt or helped in this
PAUL: No idea, you know We haven't been able to tell really because we You know the press keeps saying
'I see it's hurt you' And our managers keep saying it hasn't So, you know, who do we believe
Q: John and Paul, I'd like to know if all the songs that are said to be written by Lennon and McCartney are always written by both of you
or do you ever do one all by yourself
JOHN:Don't they buy 'Datebook
PAUL: No, we do them seperately and together
Q: Your music used to be mostly composed of guitar backgrounds
and recently you've come around to strings and harpsichords and a lot of weird things like that Is there any purpose in this evolution
PAUL: Yeah
JOHN: No
GEORGE: Just to use something else besides guitars
PAUL: And because those things aren't it's not necessarily sort of 'coming around to them' you know,
like we're giving-in to 'em It's finding them again
RED:As the director of radio station CFUN in Vancouver
I had decide let where my DJs to cover this 1966 press conference in label Seattle
I selected a giant of a man called John Turner
Who stood 6 foot
And then some in this stocking feet
And during those top forty CFUN days
We referred to him on the era of Jolly John
And for this particular press conference
He dressed his tall frame in a Jolly green giant costume
Complete with Robin Hood booties
How imagine you will
The Beatles reaction to this strange,blooming figure
Q:I don't know if there is a Jolly Green Giant in England, fellows
but I come with good wishes from Vancouver in Canada
You played there a short while ago
And we were wondering whether you are coming back to Vancouver
PAUL: Maybe Brian decides where we go So, maybe
Q：All people from Vancouver are wishing John a happy forth anniversary
A few days ago,John
JOHN: Thank you Well, you thank them Jolly Green Giant
Q: and a question George, where do you get your sitars
GEORGE: Where do I get them Or where do people generally get them
Q: Where can people generally get a sitar
GEORGE: India
Q:In India
Q:I hear that you are world’s greatest sitar player
Q: Paul, before, you said that there were some songs that you 'have to' write
Could you explain what you mean by 'have to' write
PAUL: Hmmm No see, I just said that in passing I just meant that there was an LP due And when an LP is due we write songs
you know We do it like that more than write all the time,We don't write all the time
We write more 'to order' You know
if we've got fourteen tracks to fill
then we've got fourteen songs to write That's what I mean
Seattle,Washington,1966
That night,the Beatles went out to the with fifteen thousand frantic fans
These were the really innocent years for the Beatles
They were just about to lead into a new face of their careers
The late 60s were used as the revolution in term
And the Beatles were certainly in the guard of the new wave
Some would say that the new demensions that they’ve added to the popular music
Were the most important contributions to musical history
But apart from those earlier years
The fun and the energy
Those were the moments
That would be remembered for the generation that lived through those times
On this album package
We tried to present the best of the Beatles
The stories of the Beatles is best told by hearing them in action
The Marks Bothers were unique
And so were the Beatles
They give you the frantic feeling and friendly of a Beatles concert
During those healthy days of the mid-sixties
We’d like you to hear the Beatles on stage
In front of over twenty-thousand fans
Now twice during the concert
The quartet of mob-tops were interrupted
once by myself
And minutes later by thier manager Brian Abeles
As the screaming fans pressed against the front of the open-air stage of Empire Stadium
Police were frightened that the fans would get crashed
As it happened in so many soccer matches in England
And else where in Europe
You’ll mind what the audience feel of the Beatles in concert
MC:Crowd can you be quiet just for a minute please
I would like to say right now that you’ve been a small crowd here tonight so lets keep up the good work
And it’s going to be a great deal of pleasure having the CNN and the CFUN to present
The Beatles!

Q: You're all Torries, is that correct
RINGO: We're nothing
PAUL: Not really
JOHN: Whoever gives us the most money, you know We vote for them
RED:One of the most fascinating questions in this conference was the number of people employed by Beatles at that time
Q: How many people do the Beatles employ, as a group The organization, The Beatles, Limited
PAUL: Oh, us I don't know, you see, because much of the people that work with us
GEORGE: I think 'we' only employ about two people
PAUL: Most of the people that work with us work for 'NEMS,' which is our manager's company
GEORGE: We employ two, and that's it
PAUL: And they have artists like Gerry and the Pacemakers, Cilla Black, and alot of other people, you know Billy J Kramer

BEATLES: No
JOHN: You don't need to with all those police!
Q: Do you find that you're losing your popularity in England
JOHN: No, not according to record sales
Q: Then it's all just rumors
PAUL: Yeah Actually, we heard before
JOHN: They've been knocking us off since the third record
PAUL: before we went to Liverpool last time
for the Northern Premiere of the film, you know
we'd been down in London alot
because we'd been doing the film and TV and things
and everybody was saying
I've just been up to Liverpool
and they hate you up there
and it's terrible Nobody likes you anymore
And we believed 'em, you know, 'cuz we read the paper, same as anyone else
And we went up there
and it was the most ridiculous reception we've had anywhere, you know
So I give-in believing these rumors
Q: Can I ask you if you've ever had a press reception in a more uncomfortable room
JOHN: Yeah
PAUL: I don't know
Q: Where
JOHN: I don't know
Q: How do you feel being compared to Dave Clark Five
JOHN: We're compared to everybody
PAUL: Don't mind
Q: How about your horse, how's it doing your race horse
PAUL: Great! The first time out It's not mine, it's my dad's
you know It's nothing to do with me First time out it came second, and the last time out it won
JOHN: And then it died
Q: Does this mob of police protection come out of your take
or is the management here to accept responsibility for paying them
JOHN: I don't know who pays 'em, but we don't
PAUL: The last place we played at, it was the management of the place I don't know, it may be the same now
GEORGE: But we just tour, we don't do all that
Q: You'd miss them, though
PAUL: Oh, yeah
RINGO: Really

Q: How long will you be on the road before you go home
PAUL: About four more weeks
Q: What is the best group of teenagers, well-behaved, you've ever had
PAUL: Um I don't know They're about the same all over the world Just got different accents
Q: What city have you had your worst time in
PAUL: City，Don't know, because
you know things that some people think are the worst time, we think are the best
you know But I can't remember a worst time
Q: You've been roughed-up and jostled in various places you've been
Can you think of one in particular that was worse than the others
PAUL: No, you know Not
JOHN: We've not been really roughed at all, you know
Q: Where do you think the biggest reception crowd has been
JOHN: Biggest crowd was Liverpool
RINGO: Liverpool
Q: How many
JOHN: I don't know
GEORGE: A lot
JOHN: Just more than the other
Q: Sydney was the biggest, wasn't it
PAUL: Sydney
JOHN: Ah, well
PAUL: I don't know, but there was alot in Liverpool
Q: How long did it take you to make your movie
JOHN: Eight weeks, was it

PAUL: It's good, you know
Q: How's it doing where it's showing, do you know
RINGO: It's doing well
JOHN: It's breaking records, I've heard I don't want to brag
Q: Is it true that some of your birthday mail went in the fire and you didn't even see it
GEORGE: No, untrue Well, I think so Actually, it was, umm
PAUL: I don't think that was the rumor anyway, you know
JOHN: The rumor was it went in the bin By the time it gets over here, it's on fire
PAUL: Some people found some mails and I think it was about two letters out of thousands
you know which had been unopened They'd been sent to the fan clubs
and the fan club was supposed to open and read 'em
and then throw 'em And there were about two that they'd forgotten to open
so this was a great big scandal, you know It was just a slip-up
Q:Thank you very much!
JOHN:Than you!
RED:We joined the Beatles two years later in 1966 in Seattle,Washington,the date is August 27th
Another city,and another press conference,it’s 8 pm
Fifteen thousand fans are vailing for the night performance in the Seattle Colosseum
Meanwhile the presses again talking with Beatles
Leading up to B-Day,rumours had abounded that Paul Cartney is going to marry long-time girlfriend Jane Asher,
Sister of Peter Asher of Peter&Gordon fame,but it turned out to be just that rumours
MC: Can we have the first question, please
Q: John, could you please tell me something about your new movie, 'How I Won The War
JOHN: Oh, I don't know anything about it except for I'm in it
and it's about the last world war
Q: I'd like to address a question to Paul McCartney
Would you confirm or deny the report of your marriage to Jane Asher in Seattle this evening
PAUL: It's tonight, yeah
Q: What time and where
PAUL: Tonight-- I can't tell you that, now can I
PAUL: I couldn't tell ya it's a secret
GEORGE: OK, it's a secret We don't want all the people there, do we
Q: You are confirming the report
PAUL: No, not really It was it's a joke
Who started this Anyone know Does anyone know I just got in today and found out I was getting married tonight
No, she is not coming in tonight as far as I know
GEORGE: And if she does, we are going out tonight anyway cause we'll miss her
Q: I'd like to direct this to any of the Beatles Do you believe that you represent a different type of morality
or a new type of morality-- than, say, the 'Rolling Stones' or the protest groups
JOHN: Are they a protest group Since when
Q: No 'OR a protest group
PAUL: OR a protest group! No We don't represent anything like that
It's the 'Cyrkle' that do that
_'Turn Down Day' I think you've heard that one, haven't you! Folk song!
Q: I'd like to ask John Lennon a question
I hope I get a chance to ask him a second one This is sort of double-barreled I'd like to know your motivation in this Money I'd like to think it's enjoyment
and I'd like to think you're having as much fun as you seem to be when you're doing it
JOHN: Well, when I look as though I'm having fun
I am, you know When I'm not-- I'm not, usually So it varies
Q: Do I get another chance One more chance I have this little prediction that in 25 years you're going to be a great writer
I'd like to talk to you about it sometime
_Well, I mean, we're between 25 years then
Q: I'll make you a date
JOHN: OK
GEORGE: See ya, Penny Lane
Q: I'd like to address this question to anybody in the group
What about the next movie
heard alot of stories
nothing's confirmed Has there been anything decided
PAUL: Nothing
GEORGE: Somebody gave us a good idea
so we told him to go and write it into a script
So we won't really be able to tell if we're gonna make the film until we've read the script
And as he hasn't finished the script, we haven't read the script
so we won't know yet until about Christmas
maybe But if it is a good one and we like it
we'll probably start it 'round about January, February, or March or December
Q: I have three questions, if I can For one
Do you think the audience that your music attracts has changed from say the thirteen and fourteen year old girls to more of the college age
and that if so, do you like it better that way
PAUL: Uhh, I think it's probably got a bit older I don't know how old And it's nice
and that if so, do you like it better that way
Q: Did you intend it that way
PAUL: No We don't intend anything, you know That's the trouble
JOHN: It all happens
_Also, Paul-- Since your rumors were denied
then what are you doing after the show
PAUL: I don't know, marrying you, probably!
Q: How are the attendance on this tour compared to past American tours
PAUL: It's been apparently been more at the shows than there were last time
Q: Do you think that the so-called adverse publicity hurt or helped in this
PAUL: No idea, you know We haven't been able to tell really because we You know the press keeps saying
'I see it's hurt you' And our managers keep saying it hasn't So, you know, who do we believe
Q: John and Paul, I'd like to know if all the songs that are said to be written by Lennon and McCartney are always written by both of you
or do you ever do one all by yourself
JOHN:Don't they buy 'Datebook
PAUL: No, we do them seperately and together
Q: Your music used to be mostly composed of guitar backgrounds
and recently you've come around to strings and harpsichords and a lot of weird things like that Is there any purpose in this evolution
PAUL: Yeah
JOHN: No
GEORGE: Just to use something else besides guitars
PAUL: And because those things aren't it's not necessarily sort of 'coming around to them' you know,
like we're giving-in to 'em It's finding them again
RED:As the director of radio station CFUN in Vancouver
I had decide let where my DJs to cover this 1966 press conference in label Seattle
I selected a giant of a man called John Turner
Who stood 6 foot
And then some in this stocking feet
And during those top forty CFUN days
We referred to him on the era of Jolly John
And for this particular press conference
He dressed his tall frame in a Jolly green giant costume
Complete with Robin Hood booties
How imagine you will
The Beatles reaction to this strange,blooming figure
Q:I don't know if there is a Jolly Green Giant in England, fellows
but I come with good wishes from Vancouver in Canada
You played there a short while ago
And we were wondering whether you are coming back to Vancouver
PAUL: Maybe Brian decides where we go So, maybe
Q：All people from Vancouver are wishing John a happy forth anniversary
A few days ago,John
JOHN: Thank you Well, you thank them Jolly Green Giant
Q: and a question George, where do you get your sitars
GEORGE: Where do I get them Or where do people generally get them
Q: Where can people generally get a sitar
GEORGE: India
Q:In India
Q:I hear that you are world’s greatest sitar player
Q: Paul, before, you said that there were some songs that you 'have to' write
Could you explain what you mean by 'have to' write
PAUL: Hmmm No see, I just said that in passing I just meant that there was an LP due And when an LP is due we write songs
you know We do it like that more than write all the time,We don't write all the time
We write more 'to order' You know
if we've got fourteen tracks to fill
then we've got fourteen songs to write That's what I mean
Seattle,Washington,1966
That night,the Beatles went out to the with fifteen thousand frantic fans
These were the really innocent years for the Beatles
They were just about to lead into a new face of their careers
The late 60s were used as the revolution in term
And the Beatles were certainly in the guard of the new wave
Some would say that the new demensions that they’ve added to the popular music
Were the most important contributions to musical history
But apart from those earlier years
The fun and the energy
Those were the moments
That would be remembered for the generation that lived through those times
On this album package
We tried to present the best of the Beatles
The stories of the Beatles is best told by hearing them in action
The Marks Bothers were unique
And so were the Beatles
They give you the frantic feeling and friendly of a Beatles concert
During those healthy days of the mid-sixties
We’d like you to hear the Beatles on stage
In front of over twenty-thousand fans
Now twice during the concert
The quartet of mob-tops were interrupted
once by myself
And minutes later by thier manager Brian Abeles
As the screaming fans pressed against the front of the open-air stage of Empire Stadium
Police were frightened that the fans would get crashed
As it happened in so many soccer matches in England
And else where in Europe
You’ll mind what the audience feel of the Beatles in concert
MC:Crowd can you be quiet just for a minute please
I would like to say right now that you’ve been a small crowd here tonight so lets keep up the good work
And it’s going to be a great deal of pleasure having the CNN and the CFUN to present
The Beatles!
