What was the name of that theater? The Town?? I remember my g/f's step dad not wanting us to go see Putney Swop there, cause it was sort of sleezy place.
I remember riding by the Garden Theater in Willow Glen, the morning when Hard Days opened. I was headed home after doing my early papaer route. There were kids camping out on the sidewalk.
In the 70's I went to see the whole lot of them at the Castro in SF. I couldn't manage Let It Be. Just too depressing after the others...
