Line-up Discover The Beatles 1962-1970

From StartsAt60, December 1st, 2018:

The band returned to their hometown and played their last show their at the Liverpool Empire Theatre on December 5. Although there were only 5,100 tickets available for the two shows at Liverpool, more than 40,000 ticket applications were received. Among the crowd of fans were close friends and family members of Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. McCartney was disappointed at the number of police present at the concerts and was quoted by New Musical Express(NME) journalist Alan Smith as saying, “There are so many of them about, it ruins the whole atmosphere of enjoyment.”
