Why was this historic event not filmed or at least photographed?? there were photographed with most other famous people they met; so why not Mr hips?

Yeah thanks ive seen this. But there just talking about there memories of it.I just find it odd that no one in the Beatles camp-or the Elvis camp took any pictures of the meeting.

I believe that both parties agreed to make the meeting low key. There are a few photographs knocking around, taken by Beatles Book photographer Leslie Bryce.

The meeting actually turned out to be a non-event. Paul says that Elvis was sat fumbling around on a bass guitar and that he was very quiet. Strangely, so was Lennon and it appeared that both camps were in awe of each other's presence.

There is certainly no mention of any jam session and I think Elvis felt somewhat uncomfortable and out-numbered by the Beatles.

Thus, the lack of photographs and the fact that this meeting is rarely mentioned shows what a disappointment the whole episode was.

(Obviously, my input here is from the perspective of the Beatles. I would imagine that there could well be some photos taken by Elvis's clan but again, the fact that no-one's seen them probably means that Elvis would sooner have forgotten all about the meeting. Indeed, rumour has it that when the Beatles left he was quite nasty about them.)

I would have thought that any pictures of this meeting would have been included in the Beatles Anthology
I read somewhere that there was a meeting between Brian Epstien and the Colonel and that the meeting between Elv and the Beatles was a secondary event.
