Paris, the Olympia, tomorrow...


We always hear about the Beatles long gigs in Hamburg, Germany and the Cavern Club in Liverpool... but they also did three weeks at the Olympia in Paris in January and February of 1964. On February 2, 1964 they spent a relaxing day by Beatle standards, culminating with their show at the Olympia. They also found out that the next day they'd have to go do something they'd never done before... something that will directly lead to changing the face of rock music forever. More on that tomorrow.
