It was 61 years ago today...

You are part of a select group of music fans to perhaps see on television, read the newspaper or maybe even be there to experience arguably a HUGE moment in music history.

I was only 2, so all I cared about was eating and sleeping. Maybe I was in the room while my family watched the Ed Sullivan show, later that week?

On this day in history, Feb. 7, 1964, Beatles arrive in US for first time, inspire nationwide mania (yahoo.com)

I was 14 months old that day. I guess I was there, in spirit anyway. Weird that now, at 59 years old, I am just now starting to peruse the Beatles catalog?  

Have seen the clips of Ed's Beatles presentations many times. Always amuses me.

It's a treat to reading everyone's experiences.

" My Mom threw my 5 year old sister head first into their limo to give one of the beetles a kiss. All she remembers is kissing some hairy guy with a beard. So we figured it was John she kissed."

Great story Deadhead1000!

I was there and the experience informed the rest of my life: the Acid, The Dead , I saw over 300 GD shows and I don't regret a single minute of it. Culturally J,P,G&R formed us all and anyone who sez otherwise is just lying or Dead Wrong. The Material still rocks (mostly) and you can play it loud. That's true of Stones as well that last part. Side Note; New Ian Hunter material is coming.
