Video: 'John Lennon Talks About New York And The Concert At Forest Hills On 29th August 1964'

(Saturday, August 29, 1964, afternoon EDT; during The Beatles’ 1964 North American tour) — After a late-night session with Bob Dylan that included the band’s introduction to marijuana, The Beatles slept in until the afternoon, resting up before their second New York City show in as many days.

Journalist Larry Kane seized the opportunity to interview John Lennon and Paul McCartney separately today before they left the Hotel Delmonico for the concert at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens.

John Lennon recounted an incident from the previous night’s concert when a fan got onstage and hugged George Harrison, disrupting his performance. “I could hear all wrong notes coming out!” Lennon exclaimed.

He also expressed his fondness for big cities like New York and London and praised the acoustics at the Hollywood Bowl.

Larry Kane also spoke with George Harrison about a rumor that psychic Jeane Dixon predicted the Beatles would die in a plane crash when leaving Philadelphia the following week. Known for his fear of flying, Harrison humorously responded that he would travel by bicycle that day, brushing off the rumor with his characteristic wit.
