Notes: After performing their postponed concert in Cincinnati at midday, The Beatles flew 341 miles to St Louis, Missouri, where they performed one show at 8.30pm.

The concert took place at the Busch Stadium, and was seen by 23,000 people. The support acts were The Del-Rays, The Remains, Bobby Hebb, The Cyrkle and The Ronettes.

The show took place in heavy rain, with a makeshift shelter over the stage to protect the musicians, although water still
dripped onto the amplifiers. It was this incident which finally convinced Paul McCartney that The Beatles should cease touring.

5 minutes of very dark colour home movie footage of the St. Louis concert exists. In this footage we hear the Beatles sing If I Needed Somone, Baby`s In Black, Paperback Writer & Long Tall Sally.
