Howard Creech (audience) : About six that evening we rode the El out to White Sox Park; the scene at the stadium was absolute pandemonium, with thousands of screaming jostling teenage girls standing in line waiting to get in. We joined the throng and eventually got to our seats, close to the front, on the first base line.
The stage was set up on the White Sox pitchers mound, we sat through short sets by King Curtis, Cannibal And the Headhunters, and Brenda Holloway and after a brief break The Beatles came on and started to play Twist And Shout and the girls went wild. The band played about a dozen more songs, the show was great, absolutely everything I had hoped it would be, and then it was over.
