I posted the happenings on Houston radio the day Elvis Presley died, now let's take a look at the day the Beatles played Houston. The Bayou City History blog has a great report:They only played for 35 minutes. But during that time, they were pelted with paper, keys and jelly beans.The blog also has an mp3 file of the show's beginning.
The Beatles put on two shows at the Sam Houston Coliseum on Aug. 19, 1965. Billed as KILT's "Sixth Annual Back-to-School Show," ticket prices were $5. Russ Knight -- The Weird Beard -- was master of ceremonies.
Of course as I posted before, John Lennon would return to Houston for a while with Yoko Ono for another reason. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
