This interview catches The Beatles at London’s Heathrow Airport, just as they’re arriving back home. The band members recount the chaotic events that unfolded in Manila only a few days prior.
Upon their 6 AM arrival at London Airport on July 8, they held a short press conference and were interviewed by ITN and Reuters, discussing their difficult experience in the Philippines.
Q: “At the airport, did they come up and start
physically threatening you?”PAUL: “We got to the airport and our road managers had a lot of
trouble trying to get the equipment in because the escalators had been
turned off, and things. So we got there, and we got put into the transit
lounge. And we got pushed around from one corner of the lounge to
another, you know.”
JOHN: (impersonating, and demonstrating by shoving Paul
repeatedly in the shoulder) “‘You’re treated like ordinary passenger!!
Ordinary passenger!!’ …Ordinary passenger, what, he doesn’t get
kicked, does he?”(band laugh)
PAUL: (laughs) “And so they started knocking over our road managers and things, and everyone was falling all over the place.”
Q: “That started worrying you, when the road manager got knocked over.”
PAUL: “Yeah, and I swear there were thirty of ’em.”
Q: (turning back to John) “What do you say there were?”
JOHN: “Well, I saw sort of five in sort of outfits, you know, that were doing the actual kicking and booing and shouting.”
Q: “Did you get kicked any?”
JOHN: (giggling) “No, I was very delicate and moved every time they touched me.”(band laugh)
JOHN: “But I was petrified… I could have been kicked and not known it, you know. We’ll just never go to any nuthouses again.”
Q: “Would you go to Manila again, George?”
GEORGE: “No, I didn’t even want to go that time.”
JOHN: “Me too.”
GEORGE: “Because we’d heard that it was a terrible place anyway, and when we got there… it was proved.”
