August 19, 1966: The Beatles play two shows at the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis Tennessee

 By John Beifuss from The Memphis Commercial Appeal. August 20, 2006
It was 40 years ago, and the city of Memphis didn't want the band to play. At least that was the official stance the mayor and Board of Commissioners took in a unanimous resolution passed August 10, 1966, to express "official disapproval" and "advised The Beatles that they are not welcome in the City of Memphis." The Blue Meanies didn't stand a chance. On August 19, 1966, Britain's Beatles -Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, George Harrison and John Lennon - performed two concerts at the Mid-South Coliseum, at 4 and 8:30pm. Tickets were $5.50. The Memphis date was the eighth in a 14-city tour that would be the last ever for the band that remains the most influential in rock history.    For each Memphis show, the Beatles performed 11 songs in about 28 minutes, after almost two hours of music from an interesting roster of opening acts: the Ronettes; Boston garage greats the Remains; Pennsylvania bubblegum popsters the Cyrkle ("Red Rubber Ball"); and Nashville R&B singer Bobby Hebb ("Sunny"). The first show attracted 7,589 fans; the second, 12,539. Disc Jockey eorge Klein and Johnny Dark acted as master of ceremonies. When The Beatles took the stage, "It kind of reminded me of the movie "King Kong" when all the flashbulbs started going off," Dark later remembered. "There were so many flashbulbs it was almost like a strobe light."  Onstage, the Beatles - wearing "modish dull/grey suits" in the afternoon and "dark green creations with chartreuse shirts" at night, according to the local newspaper - exchanged such familiar hits as "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and "A Hard Days Night" for mostly newer material. The songs performed in Memphis apparently were "Rock And Roll Music", "She's A Woman", "If I Needed Someone", "Day Tripper", "Baby's In Black", "I Feel Fine", "Yesterday", "I Wanna Be Your Man", "Nowhere Man", "Paperback Writer", and "Long Tall Sally". The Commercial Appeal reported in a front-page story the next morning: "The musical performance of the long-haired Englishmen was hard to judge as the shrieks and screams of the paying guest almost drowned them out."  During a between-shows press conference, McCartney noted that "little things like money" had prevented the Beatles from recording what would become the album "Revolver" at Stax in Memphis. Lennon said The Beatles admiration for the guitar playing of Steve Cropper was one of the reasons they wanted to record in Memphis. However, Atlantic Vice President Gerald Wexler told The Commercial Appeal that Beatles
manager Brian Epstien cancelled tentative plans for a two-week studio session at Stax because "he was not pleased with the security and housing plans he found during a one-day visit to Memphis."  The anti-Beatles resolution which described Memphis as "a City of Churches" was inspired by Lennon's then much-publicized remark that The Beatles were "more popular than Jesus now. ...

I don't know which will go first, rock and roll or Christianity."  In the days leading to the Memphis shows, The Commercial Appeal reported on several "Beatle burnings" in reaction to Lennon - 

protest rallies in which Beatles records were broken and burned ("Foot in Moptop's Mouth 

Is Hot One," stated a headline). Eighty police officers worked the show.
"I've never had so much security at an event, even Bob Hope," promoter Early Maxwell said.

May 12, 1968: A bomb was found in the Municipal Auditorium during the Paul Revere & The Raiders concert. I was there. Before the Raiders came on, the audience was asked to go out to the lobby area. They said that they were going to re-arrange the seats. Eventually, we were let back into the main auditorium and The Raiders went on stage. It wasn't until I saw it in the Tennessean the next morning that I saw they found a small bomb in a men's restroom. Anyway, that's the way I remember it. By the way, The Raiders and opening acts were great. (Pat Adams from TennesseeConcerts)
