I can’t believe I was there… couldn’t hear the music but it was an AMAZING concert… oh how I loved them especially Paul and I am on Facebook Beatles groups to this day… very surreal… At least I have and listen to all their Fab music almost every day…

Thanks for sharing your memories, Regena. It's indeed impressive how sticky and lasting their music was / still is !!

I was there 2nd row behind but have no idea which show. I won the tickets from Dairy Queen. My first natural high when they finally came out…what a racket!

Fun memory = a bus trip from Belleville, Ontario (2hrs east of Toronto). My neighbour Beverly and I were absolutely thrilled to go! Our Maple Leaf Gardens’ seats were wayyyyyy up in the rafters, the Greys, but it was terrific to be there. One dominant memory for me was that every time Paul sang, the girl sitting behind me went berserk, jumped up screaming … and her (large) set of binoculars hit me in the head. But, who cared. :-)))

I was at the second show. I have forgotten that there was also an afternoon show.

I went with 3 friends from high school. My friend Carl's grandmother had lined up to get tickets for us, getting there VERY early. They interviewed her on CHUM radio – the 50-year-old woman who was 4th in line to get tickets!

The concert was incredible, even for us sitting way up in the greys. I didn't know that I was going to cream. but of course all we girls did. And yes, we could hear the music a bit. I made a list of the songs they sang.
