I’ve never seen anything quite like that ever. And those young girls crying for their idols was so hilarious. I thought it was the funniest thing I had ever seen. I also remember that it was very noisy and we had a hard time hearing The Beatles play because of all the screaming fans and all the yelling. I had an aunt and uncle who lived right behind Candlestick Park. But Candlestick Park is not really in SF, it’s actually in Daly City. And I remember Gene Nelson from KYA in San Francisco. We had to use binoculars to see The Beatles faces. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! I was also sitting way back behind 3rd base, way far from the stage. I am lucky to have seen The Beatles Candlestick Park on Aug. If you hear a bootleg version of the final concert that finishes during Long Tall Sally it must have come either from Paul’s copy or mine, but we never did identify the music thief! Years later my Candlestick Park recording re-appeared in public as a bootleg album. I said: ‘It’s all there from the guitar feedback before the first number.’ Paul was clearly chuffed to have such a unique souvenir of what would prove to be an historic evening – the farewell stage show from the Fab Four.īack in London I kept the concert cassette under lock and key in a drawer of my office desk, making a single copy for my personal collection and passing the original to Paul for him to keep. At San Francisco airport, as our plane prepared to take off, Paul’s head came over the top of my seat from the row behind: ‘Did you get anything on tape?’ I passed the cassette recorder back to him: ‘I got the lot, except that the tape ran out in the middle of Long Tall Sally.’ He asked if I had left the machine running between numbers to get all the announcements and the boys’ ad lib remarks.
