"Pssst...Be-atle!" Does anyone recognize that line? The British invasion celebrates 50 tomorrow!! The Beatles will always be my #1 Gear Fab group! Bless 'em!

GEORGE!!!!

I can't believe that John and George are gone.   As young girl, Paul was my favorite but as I grew older and sometimes wiser, my preference changed to George.

Murray the K, the Disc Jockey at 1010 WINS New York announced the time and flight number of the Beatles arrival and the world was shocked at all the young girls who flocked to JFK airport.  My friend's dad worked for U.S. Customs at the time. He and some other guys smuggled the Beatles out of the airport in a laundry truck .. a trick that they used many times after.

  The Beatles have been my favorite group since I started listening to music, and John Lennon my idol.

I remember when the Beatles did the same thing in Palo Alto, CA:

To escape the Cabana Hotel, the Beatles were whisked-out of their Room 810 Suite, down the North side elevator, past the Cabana kitchen and out through the service entrance.  Sure enough, two decoy limos and a truck were stationed out front, prompting many fans to wave goodbye to Beatles that they mistakenly thought were inside. They left in a delivery truck, (almost forgetting Ringo).

To THIS day, you can rent the Beatles' room number 810, although it was remodeled a bit
and of course you can see some Beatles photos.
The Cabana Hotel is now called The Crowne Plaza (4290 El Camino Real, Palo Alto, CA 94306).

I just learned "Paperback Writer" a week ago on my guitar and I love their sound.

I have a ton of Beatles memories, including listening to their 12" records during my typing class many moons ago.

While I still am to this very day more of a Rolling Stones fan, I did watch the Beatles live on the Ed Sullivan Show that day with the rest of my family and they made a profound impression on my young self. I believe they appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show three weeks in a row and performed my favourite of their early hits on one of those appearances:

The Beatles "Please Please Me" (custom stereo mix)

Cool Video ...

[Wich2]

Thanks, Hep - great video!

I was there watching on the tube that amazing night, too - and have loved The Boys from age 5 to 55.

The tribute show last night, at first, bugged me because it was light on clips... but then several terrific covers by others grew on me, and Ringo stole the show when he and Paul got up and performed.

They were, are, and always will be The Beatles. That's all that needs to be said.

Here's another one of my early favourites that they performed on the Ed Sullivan Show;

Be sure to check out the Beatles' 4 part mini documentary
on Youtube, if you have not enjoyed it already.

Their manager made sure none of their girlfriends were seen at gigs, to keep the lads more of a dream for the female fans.

Once they stopped playing live, they dropped their manager.

Since they needed so much security before, after and during shows, it made sense for them to record albums in secret and sell them and skip the live gigs. But of course it slowly made them go their own way.

John also said in later interviews that they also moved to only Studio work, because the noise working live prevented them from creating good music.

This make sense.

I dp believe that the Beatles would've gone their own ways no matter where or how they recorded.

As for the 'no girlfriends' to seen, this and variants such as gay actors getting married and/or having articles written about them being 'ladies men' .. etc. is just part of the game.

Flower, as single artists, George's stuff speaks the most to me, too.

True, but once they stopped touring, it became ONE of the reasons they broke-up. It was a combo of events - the cessation of touring in '66, the death of their manager in '67, meaning the Beatles were personally involved in financial and legal conflicts. Conflict arose from differences in artistic vision. George wanted more support for songs he wanted to contribute, but was not supported by John and Paul.  George and Ringo temporarily left the group at various points during 1968–69 and all four band members had begun working on solo projects by 1970 as they felt the likelihood the band would not regroup.

It had to happen also just for them to continue to explore their own solo careers. George and Ringo would have to go their own ways to get their songs out. Their wealth may have changed all 4 Beatles a bit too, as it changes most humans in some ways.

The last time I saw Ringo live I was near the front row. He never took his sunglasses off, before or during the show. I REALLY thought he would take them off during the last song or right after it, as a bonus thrill for the crowd, but he didn't.  Perhaps he felt it made him look younger, or else of course he could have been buzzed as well.

Your new avatar looks hauntingly familiar but I can't place it. It's got to be from one of the Living Dead zombie movies that much I know.
