Fact #189584
When:
Short story:
The Four Vests play at a dance at The Eldorado, Illinois VFW (Veteran's of Foreign Wars) hall. After their first set, they invite visiting Englishman George Harrison to join them onstage. Harrison is reluctant, but with some coaxing they get him on stage and he accompanies the band on some Hank Williams, Chuck Berry and Carl Perkins tunes. This marks the first time a member of The Beatles played live in the United States.
