Notes: The American documentary makers - The Maysles Brothers, were given exclusive access to almost every minute of The Beatles first American visit.
From their arrival on this day at JFK Airport in New York to when they stepped off a plane back in London.
Some of this footage was used in two original TV documentaries.
Following the press conference it they were taken the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan.
The Maysles brothers accompanied them up to their Plaza hotel suites and continued filming over
the next three days capturing all sorts of antics including dinner with Murray The K and a phone interview with Brian Matthews over in England.
Some film footage shot by The Maysles brothers ended up in the two 1964 documentaries and further outtakes in the DVD bonus feature "The Making of".
