KANSAS CITY
Meets The Beatles Book
"KANSAS CITY MEETS THE BEATLES" by Gary Murtha. A 2013, 123 pages (87 color pages), 6x9, paperback book with laminated cover. This is the story of the concert that shouldn't have been with a concert fee that shocked the world. 1964 was the beginning of Beatlemania in America. In February, 1964 the Beatles were on 3 Ed Sullivan Shows as "I Want To Hold Your Hand" took over the #1 chart position in America. By March 1964 the Beatles held the top 5 positions and 12 of the top 40 songs on the major surveys. In August 1964 The Beatles came back to America for an extensive concert tour. The big cities like Los Angeles, Chicago and New York were on the schedule, but Kansas City was not. That is until a man named Charles Finley took action. Charles Finley, owner of the Kansas City Athletic's baseball team, offered ,000 to the Beatles to play Kansas City on an off date of September, 17, 1964. The answer was no, so he doubled the offer to 0,000, but again the Beatles said no. Finley went home frustrated, but came back later and put his pen to a check and wrote down 0,000 (equal to a million dollars in today money) and the Beatles said Yeah Yeah Yeah, the Kansas City concert was on. The author was seventeen in 1964 and reports on Beatlemania in America as well as his hometown of Kansas City, Missouri. The Beatles concert and press conference is covered in detail as well as a large selection of Beatles memorabilia examples. The book is loaded with relevant newspaper clippings, photos and personal comments from Kansas City fans. This is the most complete accounting of the KC concert to date. In addition, it's provides a historical look at Charles Finley, the Muehlebach Hotel (where The Beatles stayed) and Municipal Stadium (where the Beatles concert was held). A must read for all Beatle fans, especially those from Kansas City.
