August 27: Cincinnati Gardens Cincinnati, Ohio: Unlike the British tours, America was providing them with problems of getting from one show to the next due to the longer distances between shows. This was the case when the band flew to Cincinnati from Denver for a concert at the Cincinnati Gardens. The appearance was almost cancelled because the Musicians Union demanded that local groups should share the bill with the Beatles. After hundreds of phone calls from angry fans, the Union withdrew their request. The Beatles arrived at the Gardens at 6:00 p.m. and talked to Elvis Presley on the phone backstage. Then, they held a press conference in a private room, and at 9:35 took the stage in front of 14,000 people.
