1965-08-19: Beatles (e Elvis) em Huston (EUA)

Artigo muito interessante sobre a passagem dos Beatles em Huston para 2 concertos no mesmo dia, com as mesmas 12 canções (para 10 e 12 mil pessoas). Nunca mais lá voltaram:

PS. Interessante o comparativo (nos EUA) de Elvis com os Beatles (Elvis ganha em algumas métricas). E a frase de Lennon sobre as fotos espaciais: Impagável (apesar de cientificamente errado com a tecnologia de hoje em dia como se sabe).




Citando:
"At a news conference that afternoon, Lennon said, "We haven't seen much of Texas. We've only seen Dallas and here (Houston) and nearly got killed both times." Asked if the Beatles knew that Houston was home to the U.S. space program, Lennon said, "You see one space shot, you've seen them all."
The Beatles performed the same 12 songs at both shows: "Twist and Shout," "Baby's in Black," "She's a Woman," "I Feel Fine," "Dizzy Miss Lizzy," "Ticket to Ride," "Everybody's Tryin' to Be My Baby," "Can't Buy Me Love," "I Wanna Be Your Man," "A Hard Day's Night," "Help!" and "I'm Down."
Thirty-five minutes on and off the stage. The afternoon concert drew 10,000 fans. The evening show was a sellout, with 12,000 fans. By 11 p.m., the Beatles were off to their next concert in Chicago. The group never returned to Texas.
