On this day, August 13, 1966, The Beatles performed two concerts in Detroit, as part of their US Summer tour.
A press conference had been scheduled between shows, but it was cancelled. Instead, The Beatles were interviewed by Scott Regen, a DJ on Detroit radio station WKNR, and three other reporters (including one from the Detroit Free Press). Scott Regen also introduced the Beatles on stage for the 2 pm performance.
John Lennon was a sincere, real person, very connected. He was totally focused on me when we talked. I asked several questions about the technical aspects of their music and I remember him telling Paul, ‘Hey mate, here’s a guy who actually listens to our records.’ Paul was warm and receptive, a nice guy. I could feel that magical connection that the group made with so many people around the world.
