Ladies and Gentlemen… the Beatles! With those words Ed Sullivan – America’s unofficial Minister of Culture – introduced us to the Fab Four on February 9, 1964. With just five catchy songs on Sullivan’s show, “the sixties” as an era began that Sunday night. During their 1964 U.S. tour, the Beatles played an exhausting stretch of eight concerts a week, including Kansas City. On September 19, they were secretly flown to a ranch in Alton, Missouri for a needed weekend of rest and relaxation. Join Joel Rhodes, SHSMO Executive Director, as he explores how southern Missouri experienced firsthand the dawn of a musical and cultural revolution.
