Y'know, I saw that rehearsal on a line above the actual Palladium show,
and didn't look closely enough to see that they were the same day. 
Serves me right for shootin' my mouth off. :)  You're right, it was 13
October (Neil Aspinall's birthday) and the day before The Daily Mirror
is credited with coining the term "Beatlemania". 

Anyway, the description of the band running a gauntlet of fans to get to
their car sounds very much like those I've read for the rehearsal, so
I'm stickin' to my theory that the reporter saw them leaving that time.
