Notes: The Beatles only visit to Atlanta lasted around 10 hours, but was remarkable for one key reason: monitor speakers on the
stage allowed them to hear themselves play a rarity during the whirlwind of Beatlemania.

The group landed at Atlanta Municipal Airport at 2pm, having flown in on a chartered aeroplane from Canada. Although crowds of
fans were at the airport to greet them, the plane taxied to a remote area where they discreetly boarded, along with their entourage, three limousines.

A press conference was held at the stadium from 5pm, and was attended by around 150 reporters.
