“The quality of the Beatles concerts in Paris were among the best they ever gave because there was no Beatlemania in Paris. They could hear themselves and their vocal harmonies were perfect. The crowd usually reacted quietly and very often with only a few clapping. When Paul was requesting the audience to join them on their next number ‘Long Tall Sally’, very often a silence would follow, so Paul said, “If you don’t want to join us it doesn’t matter, we’ll go on anyway.”
(Bill Harry for Mersey Beat about The Beatles in Paris at Olympia Theatre from Thursday 16 January 1964 until Tuesday 4 February)
