Then Paul takes the spot­ light on "Till There Was You." One by one, each Beatle is shown on the TV screen. A note under John's name reads: "Sorry girls, he's married." Next comes "She Loves You."The loudest screams ring out each timeJohn, Paul, and George shake theirheads and sing "Woo." The show's musical director, Ray Bloch, doesn't get it. "Theonly thing differentis the hair, as far as I can see," he said."I give them a year." AFTERTHE SHOW The group heads forthe Playboy Club, where Paul is impressed by the girls in bunny suits. Then it's on to the Peppermint Lounge, where they are spoofed by a novelty act. "It wasn't really much like us," Ringo jokes. "Their music was too good." The real Beatles leave their fans aching formore: "When I got home I could barely make it up the stairs because I'dpulled the muscles in my thighs," says Alice Kestin, now 64.
