This, the 18th date of The Beatles’ UK tour with Roy Orbison, was the group’s first appearance at Leeds’ Odeon Cinema. They returned to the venue on two subsequent occasions: 3 November 1963 and 22 October 1964.
On this occasion The Beatles performed a seven-song set: ‘Some Other Guy’, ‘Do You Want To Know A Secret’, ‘Love Me Do’, ‘From Me To You’, ‘Please Please Me’, ‘I Saw Her Standing There’ and ‘Twist And Shout’.

Pretty certain was taken to see them at the June Odeon concert. I would have been 8 yrs old. It was pre ‘She Loves You’ which was released later in the summer of that year and took them to real heights.
The compere at the concert was Jon Pertwee.
