The Beatles 1965 New Orleans
Memory From:
Jake , USA, The Beatles 1965 New Orleans
I was 16 and my first ever concert was 1965 when I saw the Beatles in New Orleans not many people can say that.
There were policemen everywhere and as many protesters as fans as they were known for loud music and the crowds going mad.
The music and the concert was great and I still have and listen to my Beetles CD's to this day
The Beatles were escorted directly from the airport and directly back when the concert ended. They marched onto the stage and just sung every hit back to back to back that had been in the charts. plus a few rock and roll hits from other stars at the time.
Everyone rose to their feet, and on the floor, we had to stand in our chairs to see anything.
They played and sang without a break for about one hour. and did not miss a beat and for 2 hours afterwards I could not hear anything my partner said as I was completly deaf from the music and crowd

I was 7 years old, sitting in a limo with my Father (the promoter of that concert) on the runway watching their plane get mobbed.
Hi, good article! I wanted to mention the concert was in 1964 on September 16th, not 1965. The Beatles had arrived in town the night before. Had a press conference the day of the concert, then flew into the stadium by helicopter a few hours before showtime. The played 12 songs, making the concert about 30 minutes long. Then left the stadium by escorted car.
I am an independent filmmaker in New Orleans and would like to make a short film/short documentary about The Beatles performance in New Orleans. I don't want to do a TV style documentary piece, but a more personal piece perhaps from the viewpoints of people who present at this time. I'm not exactly sure what the angle would be, but I both love The Beatles and New Orleans. If anyone who was present has any memories or ideas on putting this film together (also any leads on footage); and would like to participate please contact me at aaronwalker808@hotmail.com. Also, you can get a sense of my work at: www.terpsichoremovement.com
