I was there!... the only time I saw the Beatles live; indeed the only "pop concert" I (born in 1946) have ever been to. What a memorable show it was! And yes - girls really did throw their knickers onto the stage as they (not the girls, the Beatles) sang.
Remarkably, the trip was organised by our local (Grazeley, just south of Reading, Berks) vicar, What a remarkable evening out it was....
WOW, thanks Rob, sharing your memories !
I also went to the 1964 concert with my sister Sue and a friend. Our parents took us with another couple but the parents sat separately. I was eleven and my sister was nearly thirteen and I can only imagine how so lucky we were to see the best band in the world at that young age.
Its funny, I landed up with 2 tickets framed from this concert on the 29th of December 1964 which my dad had framed, also with a copy of the Merseyside's Own Entertainment Mersey Beat beside it... and My Bonnie 45 rpm.... very nostalgic to think my dad at that time was 26 years old. Very cool, his daughter ....
I was there 24th December 1964, this year I was upstairs in the gallery and could actually hear them .in comparison the previous year I was at their Finsbury Park Christmas show in the stalls , it was manic 🤣, I’ve never seen so many girls being carried out but St Johns ambulance people after banging their heads on the seats and fainting it was total hysteria . 13 of us went and took up a row of seats, all of us were about 17 at the time , you could feel the excitement building from when the show started , finally when the Beatles were announced the place went bananas , they were in a cardboard cut out of a helicopter that came down from above , then went up and down a few times before they emerged, my mate next to me actually screamed 🤣🤣🤣, great night , great band, just so pleased I saw them live
WOW - what a night this must have been! Thank you so much for sharing Gerald !
This was one of the highlights of my life. We went to the January 13th 1965 (2nd show), upper circle, and I still have the 2 programmes and ticket stubs which are framed and hanging in the hall to this day. I realised how significant an occasion it was and scribbled the initials of each song title, as it was played, on the back of one programme, for future reference. I think it must have been a totally overwhelming experience as I actually remember very little about it ! I seem to recall that, as the screaming was so loud, the song lyrics were projected onto the stage backdrop (?). Maybe someone could confirm this? I also remember seeing Brian Epstein standing in the aisle, watching the show. One other highlight, later in my life, was driving one of Paul’s cars to his home - couldn’t believe it😱.
Thanks Gordon to share those memories - awesome ! Could you tell more about driving one of Paul’s cars to his home ? Thanks
