The Beatles 1964 Tour

For two weeks in February 1964, America was gripped by a media sensation. A group of four young men from Liverpool seemingly without a care in the world re-wrote the rulebook and were followed continuously by media and adoring fans alike.

On Friday 7th February a cold wind blow across John F. Kennedy airport but no one seemed to mind. What followed was nothing short of a media circus as The Beatles went from concert to chat show, from signings to press conferences.

After New York it was the turn of Washington, then on to Miami and back to New York. The ‘Fab Four’ appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show, performed on CBS and at Carnegie Hall, had photo-shoots for Life Magazine and were pictured relaxing at the infamous Peppermint Lounge. They even met Muhammed Ali.
