Celebrating 50 Years of The Beatles in the USA

An intimate conversation with some of the Beatles’ closest pals: Peter Asher, Donovan, Billy J. Kramer, Freda Kelly, Vince Canlandra and others.

On Thursday, Feb. 6, 1964 – the Beatles were preparing to leave London for their first U.S. visit. The following day they were greeted by thousands of young American fans at JFK Airport. Within minutes of their arrival, using their self-effacing wit, they had totally charmed the cynical New York press corps. After that, the rest of the nation was a breeze. On the Sunday evening – they performed live to a record-breaking 73 million viewers on the “Ed Sullivan Show.” A whopping 40 percent of the population. The world changed.

The Beatles of course achieved their enduring success with a little help from their friends. On the eve of the 50th anniversary of that momentous weekend, we are very proud to present an evening of intimate conversation with some of those friends
