Andy Neill: rock historian and author on his new book recapping The Beatles' Australasian tour

This weekend marks 60 years since Beatlemania took New Zealand by storm. In June 1964, The Beatles touched down in New Zealand as part of their historic world tour, playing sold-out shows in Wellington, Auckland, Dunedin and Christchurch. To mark this anniversary, the new book When We Was Fab: Inside The Beatles Australasian Tour, has been released. Rock historian and co-author Andy Neill says the hysteria from fans was unlike anything the nation had seen before. "This was this new force that was coming over from the other side of the world, this new pop force. It wasn't only just the music - which of course, was extremely fresh and original and vital - but it was also the look." LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
