| See our: The Beatles Tennessee Connections featuring Tennessee connections to The Beatles. Read about the Beatles Memphis concert as told by the Tennessean and how they almost recorded Revolver in Memphis, partly because of Steve Cropper. Text from the Tennessean Newspaper "The musical performance of the long-haired Englishmen was hard to judge as the shrieks and screams of the paying guest almost drowned them out." During a between-shows press conference, McCartney noted that "little things like money" had prevented the Beatles from recording what would become the album "Revolver" at Stax in Memphis. Lennon said The Beatles admiration for the guitar playing of Steve Cropper was one of the reasons they wanted to record in Memphis. However, Atlantic Vice President Gerald Wexler told The Commercial Appeal that Beatles manager Brian Epstien cancelled tentative plans for a two-week studio session at Stax because "he was not pleased with the security and housing plans he found during a one-day visit to Memphis." |
