50 years ago today, The Beatles began their US summer tour. Meet the Beatles for Real is charting their progress over the next 33 days.

Wonder if anyone is going to revive that role-playing thread?
I was just wondering about that earlier today! That’s probably my favorite thread on the forum… I’ll dig it up whenever I find something that could be seen as a legitimate reason.

Personally, I think “…because I feel like it!” is a good enough reason! (but I’m just biased since that’s the most popular thread I ever started :D)

I agree with that reason, except I don’t know what to converse about… The people in the 60s wouldn’t have known the Beatles were getting high with Dylan right now…
Hmm… Did they release AHDN on Betamax?

I don’t, I was just asking for the purposes of that thread. I have used a Betamax however, my grandmother had one.

It was 50 years ago today, while staying at Georges V hotel in Paris, and appearing at the Olympia in support of Trini Lopez, that The Beatles learned I Want To Hold Your Hand had reached #1 on the US Billboard chart. They were “the toppermost of the poppermost”. They were lucky enough (despite Paul’s constant claim about not doing America until they had a #1) to have a long-standing booking on Ed Sullivan within a month to consolidate their position and introduce themselves properly. Which, boy!, did they do!On this day they reached the top of the hill, despite all the achievements and wonders that followed, this was the moment! There is a wonderful picture, that sadly I couldn’t find via Google, of Brian sat in a chair, with the stunned Beatles all sitting around his feet. He had said they would be bigger than Elvis, but they all knew it was nothing without America, and now they had America!
The “British Invasion” had begun, a cultural earthquake that would change America forever.
Here are some Paris photos.
John Lennon , a few weeks later, after they had turned left at Greenland and were approaching New York, John would show a moment of nervousness and ask, paraphrase, “They have everything! Why do they need us?”
The world needed The Beatles, and is still in their debt.
Thank you, John. Thank you, Paul. Thank you, George. Thank you, Ringo.
My sentiments precisely, and those photos are adorable. I’ve always liked the pillow-fight scene. It would make a great “Caption It!” … Paul: Hey lads, let’s all get George ‘cos he’s the youngest and ‘is birthday’s comin’.
But according to my sources, it was George who, on the flight over, stated, “They’ve got ev’rythin’ over therr; what do they want ous for?” (note phonetic Scouse spelling)

It was 50 years ago today that Shea Stadium happened! I came across a couple of articles you might like:
* The Examiner posted the extensive diary of a fan who got backstage! 1 2 [x-posted to Fan Encounters]
* Author Candy Leonard (Beatleness) reflects on the the concert’s position in cultural history.

Talk about a song that can make you cry and smile at the same time. I love Ringo. The Shea part is at about 2:25
note: I think one word of the lyrics isn’t right. I think it should be
Went to Hamburg, the red lights were on
With George and Paul, and my friend John
We rocked all night, we all looked tough (not up)

It was 50 years ago tonight that I saw my first live concert and it was a pretty big one at Shea Stadium. Sometime close to that date, I talked my parents into letting me get the four little guys below. I haven’t held on to many toys, but these have traveled with me, although somewhat worse for wear at this point. I think that the dolls cost more than the concert tickets. I was on the upper level. (I like to think of them as action figures.)

My parents wouldn’t let me go. I was 11.
I DID get to see Help ! The album was a bit of disappointment what with all those instrumentals. If only all the instrumentals had been on Side 2… I could have listened to Side 1 all day as i’d done with all the prior albums.

Thank God for the Parlophone version with 14 songs and no instrumentals…………
