NME Poll Winners Concert 64 & 65

It's a smart thing that they said they liked jelly babies. It could've been a hell of a lot worse if they said they liked gefilte fish.

The problem was that in the UK, 'jelly babies' are soft, squidgy sweets. In other places, fans threw the nearest equivalent, 'jelly beans' which were hard coated candy, which must have been like throwing bullets at the fab four. When it came to throwing things on the stage, Tom Jones had it easy

Indeed very enjoyable with this sound quality - thanks!

I suppose there's no confusing undergarments with jellybeans...

One of the funniest things about The Beatles Washington '64 video is that throughout, they are pelted with jellybeans. The crowd is really hucking them at them. Some of the fans have impeccable aim. I think Ringo gets (jelly)beaned in the head at one point.
