THE BEATLES
OLYMPIA STADIUM DETROIT AUGUST 13, 1966 PHOTOGRAPHS BY DOUGLAS ELBINGER The Beatles played at Olympia Stadium in Detroit on August 13th, 1966. There was an afternoon and evening concert and I had the privilege of photographing the afternoon concert from backstage. I was assisting a photographer who had been given permission from Brian Epstein to photograph that day’s concert. While I was backstage, Neal Aspinall, the Beatles road manager, gave me a nod to get on the stage during the concert and from that vantage point I made the following photographs. When the lights went up I found myself between the Beatles and a double row of Detroit Police who were protecting the stage. I also had the opportunity to observe the Beatles before and after the concert. They seemed to truly enjoy what they were doing; they were very friendly, posing for photos, talking and joking with anyone who could get through the tight security. They spoke with such thick accents that I had to listen very hard to understand what they were saying. They were serious about trying to give a good concert, even though they knew virtually nobody could hear them through the hysteria. When the Beatles ran up on stage I heard the loudest, spontaneous roar I ever experienced. In the ninety-degree heat, I thought the top of the stadium would blow off. During the concert I stood not more than ten feet from John Lennon and Paul McCartney, watching them laugh and joke they missed chords and lyrics. John broke a string and just kept on playing.
