The band's touring schedule was famously cut short in 1966, after becoming increasingly annoyed with the fact that they could not hear themselves perform, and the fact that there songs could no longer be recreated for a audience with just 4 Beatles. Tour with Roy Orbison (May 18th - June 9th 1963)  Riding high off their Please Please Me album, Brian Epstein (The bands manager), organised a 'joint' tour between the Beatles and Rock N Roll superstar Roy Orbison.  The Beatles during the tour were reportedly shown up by Orbison's performances, and reports claim that Roy stole almost every show.  During the performances The Beatles wrote She Loves You and All My Loving during the tour.  George and John continued their friendship with Orbison after the tour, and George and Roy...

We'd have to dinner, and work on the lyrics over dinner, and then go to do the vocals - Bang. I love those guys" said Petty. The Band released two albums Vol 1 & Vol 3.
