Can you believe it's been 40 years?!

...that one of them is Paul.

Don't be dissin' Ringo....

Good Lord, I can't believe it's been that long, especially since I wasn't even born yet (didn't make my debut in the world until Jan. 3, 1965). I've always LOVED the Beatles, though, when I was little my parents would play their records to soothe me and/or settle me down, and my dad called (and still sometimes calls) me Beatle. One of my greatest regrets is never getting to see them perform live.

does TIME ever fly ---

They don't make 'em like that anymore.

(BTW, I was 4 back then.) :-)

Great comment!

The first thing that I thought of when looking at the cover ........ Boy, it's a good thing they made so much money, cause they sure needed a lot of cosmetic dentistry.

whew

It was great, though with all the screamers, damned hard to hear. Jeez.

Yikes.

It was great.

On edit: A friend of my parents was a Hollywood agent (represented Jack Benny for many years). My parents knew I wanted to see the Beatles, so they asked this friend how to get tickets. He said he would take care of it. One day, two tickets arrived in the mail. Box seats. I was 15 at the time. My parents took me and a friend down to the Union Stockyards on Chicago's South Side (we lived Far North). While my friend and I were at the concert, my parents were in the bar at the Stockyards Inn (great restaurant, now sadly gone).

After the concert, we were pulling out of the parking lot and there was this big bus with blacked-out windows. Uh, my parents had this idea that maybe it was the Beatles in the bus, so we started following it. Even my mother waved out the back window. We kept following it, down the Dan Ryan Expressway and onto the Kennedy, which takes you to O'Hare Airport. The bus pulled into the private aviation section of O'Hare -- something of a giveaway. We kept waving and waving. Finally, someone on the bus noticed (jeez, we had followed it for 20-odd miles!), opened a window, leaned out and waved back.

It was George Harrison. What a great moment.

I don't remember that well.
Of course, I was only 18 months old.

My sister and oldest brother playing their LP's and 45's all the time.

I was getting ready for first grade...school was only ten days away.

except that I was born the night of their Ed Sullivan appearance. I guess that makes me...AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH! 40 in 3 weeks.

days?
I grew up on the west side of KCMO, just near State Line. Have not been there since the 70's though.

You're making me feel old. Stoppit. :wow:


I still haven't recovered from the night John was shot.
He was, and always will be, my fave.

My absolute favorite band of all time. "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make" -John Lennon

I know, great lyric, you'd think it was a Lennon line -- but no, it was a Paul line. Which goes to show that Paul could do some incredible writing of his own -- "Yesterday," "Here, There, Everywhere," "For No One," "Hey Jude," "Let it Be," and "Eleanor Rigby" are great, plus his rockers -- "Sgt. Pepper," "Helter Skelter," "Back in the USSR"... too bad he had to ruin what was a good thing with crap like "Listen to what the man said" and "silly love songs."

...and I'm in my forties now. :-)

And I still love 'em!!
This guy, in particular. God, I miss him!
