Notes: Following their early evening concert they made an appearance at a special reception held in their honour at the British Embassy.
Unfortunately the "well-to-do" patrons all acted like teenagers and harassed the boys the entire time with someone even cutting off some of Ringo`s hair.
That was enough for them so they made a hasty retreat and never did anything like that again.
The American documentary makers - The Maysles Brothers, were on hand to film them at the reception but the
footage was never used until it was shown in the special DVD bonus feature "The Making of The Beatles First US Visit" in 2004.
