Our days off were sacred. If you look at our 1964 timetable you can see why. I didn’t realise until recently that we used to have a whole year of work, and then get something like 23rd November off – and then have to judge a beauty competition that day. So, by the time we got to Kansas City, we probably needed a day off. I can’t actually remember falling out with Brian about him wanting us to work on a day off, we’d talk to each other rather than fall out.

This was the 1st and only concert played at Municipal Stadium.

Thanks Mark !!!

If you look at the film of the show, it looks like they start with Twist and Shout as usual.
So does anyone know when they did Kansas City?
Did it replace Long tall Sally?
Any one know?

Hi David, indeed you're right - the setlist is currently wrong, as "Twist And Shout" has been played.
Mark Lewisohn in his book says "Kansas City" has been added, but it is not precise where.
The Beatles Bible website says: "The Beatles added their version of the Kansas City/Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey! medley to the setlist, which included 12 other songs: Twist And Shout, You Can't Do That, All My Loving, She Loves You, Things We Said Today, Roll Over Beethoven, Can't Buy Me Love, If I Fell, I Want To Hold Your Hand, Boys, A Hard Day's Night and Long Tall Sally." ; again without mentioning where "Kansas City" has been placed...
So for now, it remains a mystery to me.

I don't remember them doing Kansas City. What I remember is that John announced we would get an extra song because we were so quiet they could hear themselves for the first time! The extra song was "Twist & Shout" What I remember was hearing Kansas City for the first time on their next album and thought it was a tribute to the KC audience because the place was practically empty and we were quiet. They didn't sell the first 36 rows on the field! I sent special delivery and received 37th row tickets with nobody in front! So we moved to the 7th row and only cops at the fence were in front of us.
