THE BEATLES NME Poll-Winners Concert 1966 (Very rare original
1966 UK 20-page 5½" x 8¾" programme for the 1965-66 New Music
Express Poll-Winners All-Stars Concert, staged at the Empire Pool,
London [now Wembley Arena] on Sunday May 1st. This was The
Beatles' first live performance of the year & their last ever
UK concert appearance! Other artists on the bill included the Spencer
Davis Group, Cliff Richard, Rolling Stones, Small Faces, Dusty
Springfield, The Who, Yardbirds &Walker Brothers. Obtained from its
one previous owner & original concert attendee, the programme
shows that it was in the possession of one hysterical fan at the time,
with some creasing, corner folds & the odd small tear mark as
expected, with all pages intact & no writing. Some light foxing is
noticeable on the back, not spoiling the print - this is such a pleasing
example caught up in the pop whirlwind explosion of the day, & better
still, it is complete with the original used ticket for the Sunday show,
all in one piece, appearing delicate & weak as it might with light
creasing only. A dream piece for any sixties collector!)
