This is fantastic! I remember this as though it were yesterday. I saw the Beatles in 1964 live. Still have the original 33rpm LP's. Jim

Me too...Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. Don't remember the music, just screaming & flashbulbs. I didn't realize there were that many Brownies in the city - cameras or mini-Guides!!

Wow! At almost 52 I'm on the young side to have been in the midst of that craze. But my E-150 people hauler (I've got 1 12 year old son 3 ten year old girls) has a custom plate "RFAB4"; but alas, nobody seems to get it!
And I finally saw a Beatle live, 2006 I believe? Saw Paul MCartney and he played a lot of Beatles hits. It was fantastic. Couldn't believe I paid $500 for a pair of tickets in the front section but it was a lifelong dream and glad I did it. But the fact it was on HBO two months later really pissed me off..

Thoughts on this '64 concert:
Did they have a $1500 budget for instruments, speakers, and a turntable for Ringo that looked like it may fall over anytime?
How would you like to have front row seats and stare at the front of a big old cop for the duration? Or the back of a photographer that mooches in anytime he wants?
Compared to concerts in the recent past and the present:
As much as those kids were about to crawl out of their skin with excitement; they remained seated!
No tattoo's seen...anywhere! Heck, I couldn't even see cleavage on any of the gals! :roll eyes:
My how times have changed but nobody will be better than the Beatles!
Last thought: After watching Ringo on the drums for the whole set, I want to take lessons!

That was, by a bunch, the longest YouTube video I've ever watched, and it was well worth every second. All I could do was smile and remember. THE BEST BAND EVER!

One year newer, Willie Nelson 1965

What an awesome video! Thanks for sharing. It's amazing how much music they put out in the relatively short time they were together. I bought their box set about a year ago with I think 16 or 17 cd's! I have an 11 year old niece the loves the Beatles. It sure is a breath of fresh air to see someone as young as her to appreciate their music, and not all the crap music kids listen to nowadays!

About a month ago I taught my 3 year old grandson "Here Comes The Sun",, took about 3 replays off the old Abbey Road CD to do it. I've been a Beatles fan and collector since that Sunday night, in February of '64, when Ed Sullivan introduced them to us. I've picked up some pretty rare stuff over the years.
The thing I like about Youtube is you can put quite a concert together if you want. I drew up a list of somewhat forgotten groups and acts from the '60s recently, then sat down and chased them down on Youtube and had a great time doing it.
One of my favorite Beatles set of videos from Youtube is from typing in: Beatles Shea Stadium,, it was quite a night,,, wish I could've been there.
Like Jeff said,, Paul Mc Cartney is still a great concert to take in if you get a chance,,, saw him a couple years ago, and about an hour into it, the band decided to take a break, so they left the stage, but Paul stayed out there for about another hour himself, doing piano solos, guitar solos, even a ukelelei tribute to George which was pretty cool, the band members came back and Paul never stopped until the end of the night. Not bad for a guy whos' 70 this year, and still sounds great.

Hey old timers remember the 8 track? In my opinion the best musical group ever. They changed the way we listen to music and more. I was Lucky to have seen them at Shea.

I remember how the nuns at my Catholic school were outraged at the Beatles' long hair.
