BOBBY IN MEMPHIS, 1966

August 19, 1966. The Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis, Tennessee. The Beatles performed both matinee & evening concerts here and I was there for both shows. Bobby Hebb & The Cyrkle were the opening acts.





According to Mark Lewisohn's “The Beatles Live,” neither show was a sellout, with the early show only filling 10,000 of the 13,300 seats. (Attendance for the second show was 12,500.)

Gene Nelson of KYA Radio, which organized the concert, was the MC.
“As any Giants fans will know, Candlestick Park in August, at night, was cold, foggy and windy,” said Nelson in The Beatles Off The Record, by Keith Badman. “
