The Beatles were a GREAT live band. Where were you when this happened?

1. I was at their first concert in Chicago.

2. Wow - lucky you! I remember watching Ed Sullivan those three Sundays - one at home with my

family, one at one grandparents house, and the third at my other grandparents house - Sunday dinner, after all!

Let's see....8 years old....and completely, utterly blown away! It encouraged me to start playing guitar!

3. I also watched on Ed Sullivan.

I was just 15 when I went to the concert down at the old Chicago Amphitheatre. My parents sat and drank in the Stock Yards Inn while waiting. And, yes, it was amazing.

6. Junior High in Colorado Springs, Colorado

The next day the girls at my school were all buzzing about which Beatle they loved the best. My English teacher, who was in his mid 20s and kind of had an Ed "Kookie" Burns look going and who used to sing Pat Boone tunes to the class with his guitar said the Beatles were uglier than any of the boys in his class, had no talent, and that they wouldn't last.

10. 50 years ago I was in my grandparent's living room

having a Beatlegasm with most of the rest of our family and their neighbor Gail. The rhythm guitar knocked me out from the start. It does to this day.

The day of the roof top concert I was probably sitting in Sr. Margaret's class wishing I was anywhere else.

12. My fave clip: Beatles in DC for their first US concert

Playing "I Saw Her Standing There", Ringo bashing the SHIT out of his drumkit!

13. August 14, 1965-- probably watching Disney instead of Ed Sullivan,

maybe still trying to figure out what all the "Searcy hubbub" was about

January 30, 1969-- probably completely oblivious to the existence of the Beatles. The main singers/groups who were being talked about at school that I can remember were Perry Como, Johnny Cash, Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, Roger Miller.

14. In the den watching Ed Sullivan.

I was almost 13--just the perfect age to go crazy for The Beatles!

15. At home with my mommy.

But singing along with the Beatles on the radio, and later, on that stupid cartoon show.

Some of the very earliest songs I can remember were Beatles' songs, "Yesterday" being at the top of that list.

16. The top video is mislabeled. TES was in 1964---hence, the FIFTY-YEAR Anniversary.

I was in a friend's living room, telling her to shut up and let me hear the Beatles!

Grade nine.
