It was 50 years ago today...


Only a few bands have earned the attention/obsession of the masses, as the Beatles.

 I was only 7, but clearly remember Beatles being spun on the Grundig tube console.

I try to avoid getting nostalgic about things. Music however, is my kryptonite.

Since it hits that emotional nerve, trivial stuff such as this always grab my attention.

Millercarbon- The Ed Sullivan Show seemed like an event in my home. I do have vague memories of watching reruns of "the big night" my olderst brother watched 5 years earlier. Different times indeed. I still look for early stuff, and "Help" is one of them. I have a period soundtrack, but not the studio, which has a few extra cuts.

bpd24- as usual, your R&R stories are cool. I have older customers in the bay area who share amazing experiences of that period. My older brothers experienced the LA scene first hand as well. 

Yeah, anything related to the Fab Four is tired, but few bands made the worldwide impact they did. By the 70's, things were at the "been done already" stage, while cheese and corn started to be the standard.
