If we like to think, in all modesty, that the Paul McCartney Project is the best online ressource for everything Paul McCartney, The Beatles Bible is for sure the definitive online site focused on the Beatles. There are obviously some overlap in terms of content between the two sites, but also some major differences in terms of approach.

I was at this concert! My best friend, Joanne won the tickets on a radio call-in contest. 1010 WINS, "Murray the K". We had GREAT seats. We were in the 20th row from the field, just above where they came out onto the field. It was the summer before high school. My friends parents dropped us off at the gate and picked us up afterwards. It was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I was a HUGE Beatlemaniac...not a real screamer..I was actually trying to hear them!! -Carol Topitzer, Connecticut
