1960s - #3:  Less than a month before their historic appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show that officially brought Beatlemania to America, the Beatles were "across the pond' in Paris, lauching an 18 day run at the Olympia Theatre,  They would perform twice, and sometimes 3 times, each day, topping a 9 act bill that included French singer Sylvie Vartan or America's Trini Lopez.  The set list featured From Me To You, Roll Over Beethoven, She Loves You, This Boy, Boys, I Want To Hold Your Hand, Twist And Shout and Long Tall Sally, although for some shows, particularly the matinée performances, they played fewer tunes,.  The Olympia, a classic old world theater, was not quite equipped for modern rock & roil, with the band's amps often overloading and blowing out fuses!  This soundboard recording captures the day show from Janaury 16, 1964, 54 years ago today.  Stop back later today for the evening performance. .
