Their concert was at The Cow Palace on August 31, 1965. On September 1, 1965 Jesse O Parks escorted the Beatles back to their plane for departure. Prior to them getting on the plane, he made a request. He mentioned that he was unfamiliar with who they were, but was certain his granddaughter would know them. He asked them for their autographs.
