Short story:
The Beatles play at The Odeon Cinema, Guildford, England, UK, Europe, supported by Lance Fortune, Jimmy Crawford, The Vampires, The Messengers, Rocking Henri, The Hayseeds and The Vikings with Michael London.Full article:
Rosemary Rolls (fan) : My friend Stella's mum worked as a cleaner every day at The Odeon picture house, so she bought the tickets for us because she knew how much we loved them, and we had front row seats.
This was our first concert and of course it was in our home town, we lived in the centre and so we just walked up the High Street.
John Lennon was my favourite because I thought he was very handsome, I liked the way he moved while playing the guitar, his mouth when he sang and his smile - my friend's favourite was Paul [McCartney].
On the night in Guildford the fans were well behaved. I guess we were all frightened if we made too much noise we would have been thrown out. Which is why we were allowed to get the autographs, [it was] more civilised in the early days.
