"If you'd like to experience what it was like to participate in a Beatles concert, we can't recommend The Beatles In Cleveland strongly enough." - Bob Malik, host of The Beatle Years
"This book is a must read for the fan who's never been witness to The Beatles concert mania first-hand, and even more important to anyone who's actually seen The Beatles live. As a broadcaster, I was impressed with Dave's research into the competitive world of 60's Top 40 radio. What a fun book!" - Joe Johnson, host of Beatle Brunch
"In bringing the tumultuous Cleveland Beatles concerts to life, Dave has done a fine job of blending his own eyewitness account of the 1966 show, with the recollections of the people who really were at the forefront of bringing the 1964 and '66 concerts to the city. A compelling and satisfying read, not only for a generation that remembers the edgy, youthful excitement that followed the band's every move back then, but for the countless young musicians looking to be inspired anew by music's greatest phenomenon." - Dennis Mitchell, host of Breakfast with the Beatles
About The Book: Beatlemania swept across North America when John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show in February 1964. The decade of the 1960's seemed to change overnight from black and white to color as a generation fell under the influence of the group's music, style and personalities. Hot on the success of their film A Hard Day's Night, the Beatles 1964 summer tour filled auditoriums with screams of delight and excitement - and in some cases, full-blown fan hysteria. This was the case on September 15th in Cleveland, Ohio when police stopped the show in mid-performance and ordered the Beatles off the stage. The next year, they were banned from appearing in the city. In August 1966, the group launched their final tour, but the innocence portrayed in A Hard Day's Night only two years earlier was missing. Controversy raging over Lennon's remarks about Christianity and the group being more popular than Jesus made their safety more of a concern than ever before. A scheduling change brought the Beatles back to Cleveland on August 14th for the tour's first outdoor show at Municipal Stadium. The results were the same, but on a much larger scale. It was obvious they could no longer be protected in front of audiences and the first murmurings were overheard that it would be the last tour. This is an account of both these special moments in time: two of the wildest, out-of-control concerts in Beatle - and rock - history. Includes never-before published photos of The Beatles!
