| ‘The Beatles! A One-Night Stand in the Heartland’ Posted: 19 Apr 2010 11:26 AM PDT New Exhibit to Feature Never-Before-Seen Images of the Beatles in Minnesota St. Paul, Minn. (Vocus) April 19, 2010 -- It's as if you were there: Aug. 21, 1965, and the only Minnesota appearance by the Beatles, the biggest rock band of all time. Seventeen-year-old Bill Carlson was there. Trying to hone his craft, Carlson was eager to grab an unclaimed press pass and shoot the Beatles' arrival at the airport, the press conference and the concert that followed. Carlson took more than 140 photographs that day, capturing the personality of the Beatles and their fans in spontaneous, casual, black-and-white images. Now, 45 years later, history lovers, music lovers and everyday Minnesotans can relive the day for themselves in the new exhibit "The Beatles! A One-Night Stand in the Heartland," at the Minnesota History Center, July 17 – Sept. 12, 2010. The exhibit features 36 images, some of which are never-before-seen pictures of the Beatles in concert. Through the images, exhibit goers will be able to make intimate connections with the Beatles, a band that changed music and popular culture forever. The photographs also tell the story of Carlson, a young photographer just starting out in his career, who attended the press conference where he talked with George Harrison about his new Rickenbacker guitar. But Carlson wasn't the only teenager following the Beatles. At the concert, there were more than 25,000 screaming, shouting, cheering and swooning fans. Carlson's photographs capture close-up moments of fans touched by the Beatles and their music as well as mob scenes with girls waiting to greet the band as they got off the plane and during the press conference. In addition to the images, the exhibit features an artifact case with items from Carlson's photography career, including one of his early cameras. A computer station will play video footage of the Beatles press conference and users can pull up a web page where they can enter their own memories of the Beatles visit to Minnesota and read entries by other fans. Online Connections Exhibit Public Reception Bring a lawn chair, and pack a picnic or purchase food from the Café Minnesota Terrace Grill. Come early and take advantage of free admission to the museum galleries and stores from 5 to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays. For more information visit http://www.mnhs.org/9nights. About Bill Carlson Bill Carlson is an accomplished photographer, cinematographer and scuba diver, combining his love for photography and diving to explore and film the underwater cave systems of Mexico and Florida. He has captured images in over 75 countries around the world and has been the director of photography on numerous commercials, films, and documentaries, most recently, "Pride of Lions," a feature length film about the humanitarian and political crisis in Sierra Leone. Admission Hours The Minnesota Historical Society is a non-profit educational and cultural institution established in 1849 to preserve and share Minnesota history.
