Easy Rider

The Smoking Gun has a copy of the Beatles tour rider from their August 22, 1965 show in Portland, Oregon. Compared with the riders of musicians today, their rider is pretty low-key. They request "four cots, mirrors, an ice cooler, portable tv set and clean towels" and stipulate that "artists will not be required to perform before a segregated audience". They also request a "Cadillac limousine (air conditioned if possible)."

Interesting.
