This Day in Music History
1964 - The Beatles land at NY's JFK airport, for 1st US tour.
(cut and pasted from Wikipedia)
USA, 44 Years Ago - On 7 February 1964, a crowd of four thousand fans at Heathrow Airport waved to The Beatles as they took off for their first trip to the United States as a group.[58] They were accompanied by photographers, journalists (including Maureen Cleave), and Phil Spector, who had booked himself on the same flight. The pilot had radioed ahead, and as they prepared to land said, "Tell the boys there's a big crowd waiting for them." New York's newly-renamed JFK Airport had never experienced such a crowd, estimated at about 3,000 screaming fans.

If you could see any band live, would the Beatles be that concert?
How many choices do I get?
1 end-all be-all choice?
Yes. Only one, mr. greedy.
Do you have one? I'll have to think about it.
No, the Beatles don't jump out as an immediate yes.
Beatles for me...wouldn't it have been great to be at Let it Be.
Can you even comprehend what it would be like to see Lennon in the flesh, yet alone all four performing together?!
Lennon is my least favorite Beatle.
Paul
George
Ringo
John
My pick would be REFUSED.
Over the Beatles, over Led Zep, over CCR, over S&G, over the Clash.
My non-music pick, Rich.
