My GOD!!! And I spent $175 each for floor seats to see Journey, REO Speedwagon and Styx about 5 years ago...
YES,There's a story behind this. I have it on my wall now, (bought it today) but I have been looking at it for about 30 years in an antique store facing the Boston Common and I thought I couldn't afford it.
What would the area code for the phone number listed be? I want to call that place tomorrow and ask them if they still have tickets
4.50 is really expensive for the time. I have small concert bill posters as well. one is a all night rave on new years eve 1966. it starred the who and the pink floyd..... the price of admission was one pound.
hahahhaa I love how they advertise the BEATLES and then right underneath it says "in person" I just find that so odd. I mean do they really need to advertise that they would be there?? Im guessing people tried to pull stunts that the beatles were going to be there, but they only put them on a screen or tv or something..... lol.
I will go tomorrow and ask Pat if she has a time machine. I wouldn't be surprised since she has almost everything there, and told me that she just sold a Rickenbacker for 500$. I could kick myslef for not entering the store before (or at least when she was there), since I paid 1200 for mine.
Shea Stadium will be torn down in a few months. That poster will be even more of a relic then. When that Concert was given, Shea Stadium was one year old. Its The Concert mentioned by Ken Kesey in The Electric Kool Aid Acid test and attended by The Pranksters in thier painted bus.
One I bought ^ One in web......V The poster I bought today was not the one I posted first, but one I foundd on the web since the one I have is too big to be scanned competely. I was able to scan only the faces here,( the words are the same exactly on both) but do you notice a big differnce?
That... yes, and it makes the first one look less interesting; it was a grand event, it was the age of inocence, it was the greatest band of the times coming to America to give a grand concert. It needed to look happy. What appealed to me while passing that window was the energy and positivity they emanated in it, but when I posted the only one I could find on line, I did notice that it did not have that strong pull. Whille in Rubber Soul and other covers for the later albums they looked mature and serious, they did not look unhappy; but the photographer would make them look somber and deep; more proper for the kind of material they were writing then.
The poster doesn't even have an area code in the phone number, its been that long...................... Shea was a part of the 1964-65 NY Worlds Fair. Flushing Queens. It's an interesting walk around The Fairgrounds to see relics of The Worlds fairs of 1964 and 1939.
I'm actually going to a Beatles cover concert on Friday night. Not quite the Beatles, but I've heard they're pretty fantastic, and hey, it's the closest I'll get to seeing them all, right?
I have only recently began doing more Beatles for the public lately,and I find the reactions have been good. Yesterday I was rehearsing-recording "And I love her' and "You got to hide your love away" on the steps of a church, and people were receptive. I may do a lot more soon.
