This is an amzing page, I was in the middle of that crowd outside the Hotel ST George and then went to the 2nd concert that night ion the old Wellington Town hall, I remember being blown away by Sounds Incorporated who were one of ther support acts. We didnt hear much of the Beatles set, but it was an amazing pice of Rockn roll history to be there. I still remember one of my mates saying "will you look at all the pantys on the seats" as we left the Town Hall.
