Yes I was one of the screaming 16yr old girls who stood on top of our seats right at the back of the theatre so that we could see the distant figures on the stage even tho we couldn't hear them.
Minimal sound systems in those days and no Overhead screen. We were all in hysteria and poured out of the theatre to go to the Hotel they were staying in and were so thrilled to see them all come out onto the balcony. Tears everywhere and such a sense of amazement that that our idols had come to NZ.
I was there in that crowd. I saw theBeatles show. I was one of those girls who screamed until i lost my voice. There were Police lining the walls of the Wellington town hall. You couldnt hear the show, just Yeah, yeah, yeah.
