Who were the opening acts for the Beatles on their 1964 north American tour?

Answer 1

i don't know but I do now once they did a gig as an open band and every one wanted them to stay on the the famous person so by the time the famous person got on stage only half the people were there. Roy Orbison is probably the person your thinking of for this one. During the tour with Orbison (and to the Beatles embarrassment) the management swapped over Orbison and The Beatles in the running order when it became obvious who the people were coming to see. Earlier on in their career (before any record deal had been signed) the Beatles opened for Little Richard. The Beatles did give a song to The Rolling Stones so they would have something to perform live, it was "I Wanna Be Your Man". and then The Beatles recorded it

Answer 2

I was there. The "Remains" played and they were pretty lame.

The Cyrkle played. Their one hit was "Red Rubber Ball" (which was written by Paul Simon).

Bobby Hebb sang, his one hit was "Sunny". He kept yelling, "One more time" at the end of the verse and he sang the thing over and over and over. "Sunny, one so true, I love you. ONE MORE TIME!" We were crying, "NO MORE TIMES!" Then The Beatles played and it was so loud it hurt. The girls screaming were louder than the music. But what an experience.

Answer 3

At the show I saw, at Atlantic City Convention Hall on August 30, 1964, the opening acts were the Bill Black Combo, and the Exciters. I also recall that the Righteous Brothers were on that show, but another source I've seen said that by that time they had been replaced on the tour by Clarence "Frogman" Henry. So i guess it's accurate to say that both the Righteous Brothers and Frogman Henry were opening acts at different stops on the tour.

Answer 4

The Remains opened the show. They, in turn, acted as the backup band for Bobby Hebb, who had a huge hit with "Sunny" that summer, and The Ronettes, the girl group produced by Phil Spector. Finally, The Cyrkle (managed by Brian Epstein) took the stage. They had two monster hits that year; "Red Rubber Ball" and "Turn Down Day."
