John Lennon: “It was like meeting the Pope, only better.”

Paul McCartney: “He was very generous. He showed us his record collection, which was fabulous, and his guitars. We jammed on ‘I Want To Hold Your Hand.'”

George Harrison: “I was quite nervous. We sat there and talked about records for a while, then we played a bit.”

Ringo Starr: “I was a bit in awe of him. We just talked about music and records, and he showed us around his house.”

Overall, the Beatles were thrilled to meet their idol and the meeting was a memorable moment in both the Beatles’ and Elvis’ careers.
