Former Beatle Paul McCartney and his wife, Linda, currently in town for the dissolution of The Beatles’ business entanglements, watch the show in heavy disguise.
A planned appearance by John Lennon on stage fails to materialize because, earlier in the day, he refused to sign the “Famous Beatles Agreement” forms, which were due to be signed by all four ex-Beatles at midnight tonight.

Ringo Starr, meanwhile, remained in London to sign the papers, refusing to come to America and therefore avoiding a subpoena from estranged business manager Allen Klein.
