Extremely Rare Beatles Pete Best Owned 1964 U.S.& Canada Concert Tour Itinerary

Beatles extraordinarily rare North American (U.S. and Canada) concert tour itinerary for the months of August and September 1964, owned by their original drummer Pete Best. Although Best was not the drummer for the Beatles at this time, this tour itinerary came from his personal collection. The tour encompassed 32 shows in 25 cities over 31 days. A typed list of each city and venue, and the hotels the Beatles stayed at during the two month tour, with the departure date of "18 August" from London to San Francisco and return date of "21 September" New York to London. The Beatles started the tour off playing at the Cow Palace in San Francisco, staying at the famous Fairmont Hotel, crisscrossing the country from Seattle to Dallas to New York any many venues in-between and crossed over into Canada to perform in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. The shows in the U.S. were a return after their brief tour earlier that year in February. With this historic tour, the Beatles truly cemented themselves into the hearts of their U.S. and Canadian fans, taking the countries by storm and changing their lives, and those of their fans, forever. Measures 8 x 13. Very good condition. Comes with a Gotta Have Rock & Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
