Beatles in Russia tour draws large crowds
In Moscow and other Soviet cities, the Bootleg Beatles, a four man English group, drew big audiences paying about $1,700 per concert. The act, not officially approved, played songs like Hey Jude and Back in the U S S R, as fans recaptured classic Beatle tunes amid limited Western music availability. Also reported: Janet Gaynor, injured in a Sept. 5 crash, was removed from the critical list but remains in intensive care. Elton John last toured the USSR in 1979. Glenn Gould suffered a stroke and is in serious condition in Toronto General Hospital.
