REWIND: Looking back at the Beatles' only Dallas visit in 1964

The Beatles played a 30-minute set at Memorial Auditorium in 1964. Before the show, they visited with WFAA.
Not even 30 at the time, the Beatles had the look of rock-and-roll veterans in the footage, meticulously writing and rehearsing a new album in a near-empty studio. Their low-key depiction in the film might make it easy to forget they were the same wide-eyed band that caused Beatlemania just five years earlier, as they toured the United States for the first time.
One of their stops that year? Dallas, where they played a tight 30-minute set at the Memorial Auditorium downtown.
The city got its first look at the Liverpool stars when they landed at Love Field in September 1964, and then held a press conference the next day. And WFAA's Bert Shipp was there.

My older sister managed to touch John Lennon when they arrived at the Cabana Hotel. One of her friends managed to snag a button. I was too young to go, but i watched a Hard Day's Night dozens of times because my sister had to her younger sisters to be allowed to go back to the movie theater.
