I got my camera out and took pictures of the Beatles on the TV on the Ed Sullivan Show. I saw them in concert when I was in high school, and have seen Ringo (my fav Beatle) and the All Starr Band twice in concert and Paul McCartney once in concert. All amazing!

I was in 10th grade in 1963 when my penpal from England sent me a 45-record for Christmas with four songs by a group called the Beatles that were popular there. The music sounded so different, but I loved it! The rest was history - why can't I find that wonderful record?!

My all time favorite Beatle's song, hands down, Harrison's, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" from the White Album. Fabulous song, with the added bonus of Eric Clapton playing the guitar (after much cajoling from George).

@Witchy Woman, lucky, lucky you! Enjoy that wonderful memory. LuLu

I was 8 years old when my cousin's friend got us 4 tickets to see the Beatles at Shea Stadium. My father told me I was too young to go even though her mother was going. Fast forward, I'm amazed I ever spoke to my father again lol. I SO love the Beatles!

I was 8 back then and don’t really remember becoming a fan until until I was maybe 12 or 13. I do remember my mom dancing around the house to their music on the transistor radio she kept on the kitchen counter! 📻 After that, I was hooked. I remember getting their Rubber Soul album for Christmas one year and I still have it to this day. There isn’t a song I don’t love! Saw Paul twice in concert few years back...it was Amazing.

@bmorechick,

I was 8 or 9 when they appeared on ed Sullivan. I was instantly in love.

I got Rubber Soul for xmas one year too. I still have it. I have also seen Paul twice. We must be sisters from another mother!

I went to see them in Chicago, I was 15 and there was so much screaming you could not hear the music. What a waste but it was still exciting. Some girls were crying and some past out on the floor. Who knew they would write so many wonderful songs.

I had just turned nine years old, 4 days before, when I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan; and I saw them all 3 times. My mom bought me their first U. S. album, "Meet The Beatles" when I was nine and had just got through with a visit to the dentist. I still have that album, along with about 20 others. I became a real Beatles freak, and that eventually extended to a love for many other bands of the 70s and 80s.

My future husband played guitar a few times (jammed) with a another guitar player who was hired by a local, professional band. This other guitar player had also been to that Kansas City Beatles concert when he was 13, and became inspired to take up the guitar.

He was Steve Gaines. Unknown at the time, he later joined Lynyrd Skynyrd and died in the plane crash that took the lives of his sister and lead singer Ronnie Van Zant.

I have so many cherished "band" memories and stories, that all started with seeing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan when I was 9.
