Ah, the days (said days being March 1963) when the “dynamic” Beatles were just the support act for fucking Tommy Roe and Chris Montez… apparently no one at the time guessed just who on this bill was really about to explode in popularity; after just the first night the Fabs were elevated to set-closing stars by the tour promoter, and messrs Roe and Montez were not happy; George Harrison said the former threatened to quit the tour, and apparently the latter came to physical blows at some point with John Lennon (over what exactly I don’t know). Montez apparently had no idea who the Beatles were before the tour started, but he certainly knew by the end of it…
