In March 1965, there was a state of emergency in Austria: The Beatles were filming in the country! In Obertauern, the Mushroom Heads are considered “shiachy women”, the first joint is served before noon – and at the end they play a legendary concert. A new book tells the red-white-red history of the Beatles. Krone+ knows its latest secrets.
When the Beatles came to Obertauern in Salzburg in March 1965 to film their second feature film ‘Help!’ the Alpine Republic was divided. Euphoric fans are almost in tears with excitement, angry high school students demonstrate against the ‘eunuch choir’. The two Beatles experts Lorenz Birklbauer and Wolfgang Planker tell the red-white-red story of Liverpool’s “Fab Four” in their new book “When the Beatles turned Austria upside down” (Residenz Verlag, 288 pages, 29 euros). It is a fascinating story about freedom, rock ‘n’ roll and the Austrian post-war petty bourgeoisie.
