Just watched the DVD of the Maysles documentary on the Beatles' first trip to the US. "I Wanna Hold Your Hand," "I Saw Her Standing There" and other early gems performed live in New York City, Washington DC and Miami. Gaggles of girls screaming for them outside of their hotel, and serenading them with "We Love You Beatles, Oh Yes We Do." Girls screaming and covering their faces in their seats during the shows. Girls sneaking into the hotel. And cigarettes. Chain smokers, the lads appear to have been.
Fab. Gear. Grotty. You've got a lucky face. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
