Beatles 50th Sullivan Anniversary Count Down…1 Day
Tomorrow, we’ll see pictures from the Sunday afternoon press gaggle, but today we’ll look at the Saturday afternoon press gathering. There had been a rehearsal that morning that had stand ins for George who was ill at the Plaza Hotel, but by late afternoon, he was well enough to help tape promos for the up coming shows and for photos. Notice that the crane mounted camera is up behind them as one promo background may have included the bank of photographers. If you look closely at the far right photo, you notice that all of the press have removed their flash attachments. Flash cameras and Image Orthicon television cameras do not get along well and multiple flashes into that Marconi Mark IV would have fried that $5000 IO tube.
