John, Ringo, and Brian Epstein see Chuck Berry at The Savile Theatre. Two fans climbed onto the stage, prompting the manager (who worked for Brian Epstein) to close the curtains. The fans thought that the gig was over due to this, and riots broke out. Brian then fired the manager, though The National Association of Theatrical and Kine Employers threatened to strike unles Brian hired him again. Surprisingly, he wasn't even a member of this union. Brian gave him back his job a few weeks later.
