Guest host Richard Syrett and author Chuck Gunderson discuss his research into the Beatles' tours of America from 1964-1966, how the whirlwind tours were organized, if the band thought they would be successful, and if the crowds were really as chaotic as legend suggests.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It almost seems a shame that the Beatles only ever recorded one Burt Bacharach song. There are arguably no finer melodicists in modern popular music than Bacharach and Lennon/McCartney. But "Baby, It's You" is the only song from his catalogue they ever laid to tape. Recorded for their first album and a product of their well documented love of girl-group R&B, it's a chance for John to show his fantastic, soulful voice. His voice really carries the track with an impassioned delivery, bolstered by always great background vocals from Paul and George, solid foundation, and a charming celeste solo from George Martin. It's a wonderful example of John's potential for being a blue-eyed soul singer if things had been a little different. Joining us this week is Chuck Gunderson, author of "Some Fun Tonight - The Backstage Story of How the Beatles Rocked America: The Historic Tours of 1964-1966." His books are the absolutely definitive look at the Beatles North American tours, the going-ons that made them happen, and the behind the curtain look at what went down. It's a stunning 2 volume set filled with hundreds of unreleased photos, we can't recommend it enough! We talk with Chuck about Beatles tributes, writing the book you want to read, the simplicity of early Beatles tours, girl groups, US albums and more!

EPISODE #949 INSIDE THE BEATLES '64 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR Richard welcomes Beatles expert Chuck Gunderson who discusses the Beatles first North American Tour in 1964 when the Fab Four played a staggering 32 shows in 26 venues in 24 cities in just 33 days. GUEST: Chuck Gunderson was raised in San Diego, California, the site of the Beatles 8th stop on the 1965 North American tour. He was too young to attend the show, but fondly recalls his older siblings spinning the records of the Fab Four as he grew, which perked a life-long love for the band. He has worked in the outdoor advertising industry most of his life although his true passion is history; he obtained his B.A. at San Diego State University and an M.A. at the University of San Diego both in the field of history. Having published a few articles over the years, Chuck turned his sights to researching and writing the critically-acclaimed, "Some Fun Tonight! The Backstage Story of How The Beatles Rocked America: The Historic Tours of 1964-1966." He has consulted on a number of various Beatles related projects such as director Ron Howard's recent documentary, “Eight Days a Week.” Chuck and his wife Christina live in Carlsbad, California and are the parents of four children, each a self-described Beatles fan.

Chuck Gunderson returns for part two of the WTWF look at the Beatles tours of North America.     This week:   1965.    More than just Shea!      Were there foldback speakers in Atlanta?     Was Brian injured during the melee as the Beatles arrived at Houston's Hobby Airport (at 2AM!).    What happened when the Beach Boys met the Beatles in Portland.    All this and stories of 1966 as well!

Chuck Gunderson (Some Fun Tonight) joins the show over two weeks for a look at the Beatles tours of North America.     This week: 1964.       We briefly revisit Ron Howard's "Eight Days a Week", and the first US visit before the main attraction:  August-September 1964.      Unlike a modern tour, Brian scheduled 32 shows in 26 venues in 24 cities over just 33 days, with long plane rides the norm rather than the exception.

The Beatles played five shows in Chicago between 1964 and 1966—more than any other American city—and there was no little drama: from the total hysteria of their first gig at the International Amphitheater and staying at a Mob-run hotel during their second visit to kicking off their third and final tour with press conferences defending John’s “more popular than Jesus” remarks. Re-live the excitement of those years via live Windy City performances by the Fab Four and on-the-spot interviews with fans, deejays, reporters, a concert promoter and a security guard, as well as the analysis of special guest Chuck Gunderson, author of the definitive two-volume ‘Some Fun Tonight! The Backstage Story of How The Beatles Rocked America: The Historic Tours of 1964 – 1966’.

An In-Depth Look at Every show the Beatles played in AmericaThere have been literally thousands of books written about the Beatles over the last 50 years, covering virtually every aspect of their brief career. Yet, Chuck Gunderson has found an unique angle.In Some Fun Tonight, a two-volume set of coffee-table books from Backbeat books, he goes behind the scenes of the groundbreaking and tumultuous tours the Beatles did in North America in 1964, 1965 & 1966, giving us an account of what happened before, during and after each concert the Beatles played in the US and Canada.He tells some incredible stories of the planning, and jockeying of promoters and radio stations to pull off bringing the four lads from Liverpool to America. In his research and detective work, Gunderson has also unearthed a treasure trove of never-before-seen photographs and memorabilia from each stop on those tours.The end result is a must to anyone who attended these legendary performances, or anyone that wants to understand just how crazy these tours of the Beatles really were.

This week, Al, Ken, Allan and Steve are joined by author Chuck Gunderson ("Some Fun Tonight!"), who discusses the Beatles' American tour of 1966 and how things had changed from 1964 and 1965 for them.
