Abbey Road

In 1964 my then girlfriend was a big Beatles fan so I got tickets for their Sept 16th concert at Montreal's Forum. There was so much screaming you couldn't hear the music. She loved it anyway, I was less enthusiastic. 🙂

It's no Magical Mystery Tour....

Boy, you been a naughty girl
You let your knickers down

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob"

Although not a "BIG" Beatles fan (I was/am a Stones fan) my fav was the White Album. I know....who cares. 😉

I never get tired of the White Album Stees. It is interesting and will always catch my ear. As will the rest of their music. I have a double album "Live at the BBC" which features some of their very early music and is absolutely captivating.

I know there are Beatles detractors but there is no denying their place in history. Very cool.

When you hit # 1 again after 50 years, you must have been doing something right.

Lets just say the Beatles weren't my cup of tea, "pun intended"!! 😉

You strike me, as more, a "Headbanger" type. 😲 🤔

Beatles top the UK charts again with Abbey Road 50 years after its original release.

That is one point with big succeses: If it becomes a classic it will endure and if it fed with additional marlers (first, last, fastest,...) and a bit of conspiracy theory you can revive someting to another economic success.
So my kudoss to the Beatles who had been a great band.
And a tip of the hat to the people who make the money now and never contributed more than another marketing gag...

Maybe people didn’t really buy it at all.

Were there many men in the audience? I don't think they did very many Canadian Cities did they? I never really followed them as Elvis was big back then the King of rock'n roll they called him! 😉

On February 9th, 1964, The Beatles, with their Edwardian suits and mop top haircuts, made their first American television appearance—LIVE—on The Ed Sullivan Show. A record set ...[text shortened]... ision history.

( I did watch them perform on that show but forget what song they did).

..I thought the charts were an economical indicator (sales)

What "pun"?

I'm now convinced you inhabit a different universe than the rest of us.

I thought the charts were based on song requests at the radio stations 🤔
I'm wrong...
Anyways...

All that screaming was a tad ridiculous no?
It was completely forced and overdone.
Why don't those same women scream like that now?
