Ticket to Ride: Inside the Beatles' 1964 and 1965 Tours That Changed the World

2004Larry Kane

4.9/5

Larry Kane was a -- by comparison -- near prudish spectator to The Beatles' '64 - '65 U.S. tours. So, nothing really salacious here, but a sober look at "the boys" encountering hysterical fans and immense fame. Highlights include tales of creatively determined young girls wanting to meet the group; multiple times in purloined housekeeping uniforms. There is a shifting view of John Lennon from an impolitic young man of crude outbursts to a deeper, more nuanced appreciation of the effective leader of the group encroaching on Brian Epstein's managerial realm. Oh yeah, and Epstein makes a pass at Kane who was only on the first tour because of Epstein's misjudged understanding of his position in radio.As a bonus, there is about an hour of archive audio interviews done then by Kane. Some of them are in collage form that could fit right at the end of "Revolution 9."
