My old dear went to see the Beatles and Stones there. Quite bizarre thinking of them playing at East Ham.

My old man went to see the Beatles at the Granada, he also said you couldn't hear anything above the screaming. Can't quite remember the story of how or why he went because he has never been into the Beatles. maybe it was just because he was a teenager and lived just round the corner.

The Beatles limo was parked opposite our house they made a quick exit at the end of the gig saw them from the upstairs bedroom window. My dad told the girls to clear off as they were still screaming for them two hours after the show.

Yep, saw both The Beatles and The Stones at the Granada - when I say "saw" The Beatles I use the word advisedly, as could hear bugger all over the screaming. Memory is fading fast, but I seem to recall the supporting acts for the Stones included the Ronettes and a couple of other decent acts. I'd have been around 16 at the time.

The eighth date of The Beatles' 1963 Autumn Tour took place at the Granada Cinema in East Ham, London.
The Beatles' 1963 winter tour programme prior to the concert, George Martin gave The Beatles news from EMI that their forthcoming single, I Want To Hold Your Hand, was likely to have more than one million advance sales ahead of its release.
Also present at the venue was Alun Owen, the screenwriter who had been shadowing The Beatles for the past three days. Owen was observing their lifestyle and characters, having been suggested by producer Walter Shenson to write a script for the group's first, as-yet untitled, feature film.
The Beatles performed 10 songs at the Granada Cinema: I Saw Her Standing There, From Me To You, All My Loving, You Really Got A Hold On Me, Roll Over Beethoven, Boys, Till There Was You, She Loves You, Money (That's What I Want) and Twist And Shout.
The scenes outside the venue were so chaotic that, when The Beatles requested food, the delivery person had to be accompanied by a police escort to make it through the crowds of fans.
This was the second time The Beatles played at the Granada. The first had taken place on 9 March 1963, the first date of the group's second theatre tour of the UK.
