The day of the second concert was finally here, and everyone had returned to spending time at St. Stephen's Green after the mop-topped lads left their instruments on the stage. While it was John, Paul, Ringo, and Mike's turn to explore the park's other side, George, Pattie, and Laura went on a stroll by the pond. "Daddy George, look! Swan boats! Can we go for a ride on them, please?", exclaimed Laura at one point during it. George replied, "Absolutely, Laura, darling! I'd enjoy a good boat ride myself." He then asked his sweetheart, "How about you, love?" Pattie replied, "You've just read my mind there, honey! Yes, I would, too." George remarked, "Splendid!" So they walked closer to the boats, chose the orange one, and began their ride with George controlling the paddles. "This is very lovely.", remarked Pattie as she and Laura relaxed while admiring the calm atmosphere. Laura replied, "You said it, Pattie. I'm also glad these boats are free to use for anyone who comes here." Pattie said, "Make that both of us, my dear." George added with a nod, "Mm-hmm." The ride eventually lasted until 4:30 pm. Later that evening, and after the group met each other again, the Beatles and Laura were off to get the show started while Mike (again) and Pattie went to watch it from a nearby bench. This gig turned out to be EVEN more memorable than the one they had during the first week of their trip with the highlights being the vocal harmonies of "Yes It Is", George and Laura sharing an adorable father-daughter moment during "I Need You", and what was quite possibly the best live performance for "Twist and Shout" thanks to John singing it with as much passion as he could! The lads of course took time to crack some jokes in between songs and encouraged their fans to dance and clap along. After two hours, the whole concert ended with a bang. "What a bloody spectacular show that was, me brother!", exclaimed Mike when they came back from the autograph session and with their instruments. Pattie added, "And a wonderful selection of songs as well, I must say!" Paul replied, "Thank you so much! We really did have a grand time!" Ringo said, "Precisely, mate!" Sparkie made a noise that sounded like he was saying, "Totally!" Mike and Pattie smiled in response. George asked, "So, are ye all ready to find a place for dinner?" Laura replied, "You bet, daddy George! All that dancing has made me hungry." John added, "For sure, Laura. For sure!" George said, "Okay. Great!" Our heroes took one more park photo as a keepsake of this night. Then, they left and searched for a nice restaurant.
