CHAT WITH A ROCK AND ROLL INSIDER

ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER SHAUN WEISS, SON OF BEATLES ATTORNEY NAT WEISS, SHARES HIS ROCK AND ROLL MEMORIES WITH AUTHOR DANIEL COSTON.
DANIEL COSTON
CHAT WITH A ROCK AND ROLL INSIDER

A conversation with Shaun Weiss can be a great way to spend an evening. The adopted son of Nat Weiss, who was a loyal friend and business partner with The Beatles’ manager, Brian Epstein, Shaun was witness to some of the band’s biggest moments. Appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show, Shea Stadium, hanging out at Abbey Road Studios, and the rooftop concert. Shaun also has endless stories about his career in the business. Riding on the back of a motorcycle with Jim Morrison? Taking Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and Sid Bernstein to a George McGovern rally in 1972, so that Page and Plant can watch a Simon & Garfunkel reunion? Yes, Shaun Weiss did all of that, and more.

Yet it is The Beatles that Weiss returns to for much of this conversation, along with the importance of The Cyrkle in the story of the Weiss family, and how famed horror movie host Zacherle played a role in Shaun’s life.

GOLDMINE: Despite your father’s later partnership with Brian, it was yourself and your sister that saw The Beatles first.
