Product Description
Back in print for the first time in fifteen years, "Tomorrow Never Knows: The Beatles Last Concert" (Retrofuture Products) features the stunning images of noted music photographer Jim Marshall. On August 29, 1966, Marshall was granted an unprecedented opportunity to document the Beatles third and last visit to San Francisco. No one, except the group and a few trusted insiders, knew this would be the last concert. Marshall took full advantage of his backstage and onstage access and, with his trusty Leica in tow, captured the four Beatles relaxing, smiling, posing for photographs and finally performing. Author Eric Lefcowitz ("The Monkees Tale") researched the circumstances surrounding the Beatles tumultuous last tour of America, interviewing Joan Baez and her sister Mimi Fariña, who were invited guests, Vern Miller who played in the warm up band the Remains, soundman Mort Feld and several other witnesses to the event. Several fascinating articles by noted journalist Ralph J. Gleason are also reprinted. This softcover 104-page edition is available in a limited run.

The Beatles' Swan Song Concert in San Francisco at Candlestick Park was held on Monday, August 29, 1966. People fortunate enough to attend saw a vital part of rock history, the likes of which will never be seen again.
Jim Marshall's nonpareil photographs make a good book even better; he got to spend time with the Beatles during their third and last trip to San Francisco. As one afforded the luxury of access to the Beatles, Marshall does not disappoint in sharing his insights with others.
Marshall and author Eric Lefcowitz, who generously provided the research for this concert and the short list of the few who knew this was going to be the Swan Song Concert have created a delightful book no Beatle fan will want to go without.
The guest list included Joan Baez and her sister Mimi Fariña, Vern Miller, a band member of the Boston based Remains; others in the music business and those lucky enough to secure an invitation. Related articles are included, including insights about John's infamous "Jesus" comment, along with a good rebuttal in John's defense.
All in all, an excellent work and fans will certainly cherish this one.
