11 The Beatles breezed through 11 songs in 30 minutes, though they performed 12 tunes in some other cities on the tour. (These days, McCartney is doing about three dozen songs over nearly three hours.)<\/p>\n
16 The Fab Four\u2019s 1965 North American tour, their second visit to the States, featured 16 concerts in 10 different cities.<\/p>\n

She emerged, showing identification that she was 21 and from Cleveland.<\/p>\n
