I attended the show on Boxing Day, 1964, with my girlfriend Raye. We travelled down from Oxford on a coach booked to go straight to the theatre, and then pick us up to take us back. They were all-inclusive tickets my girlfriend's older sister bought for us, but I don't know who organised it.

Our seats were near the back.

I very well remember the screaming. It was a hell of a shock. Something I will NEVER forget. At times I could not hear the band. There is no way I could remember the set list:-)

But that show also introduced me to Blues music, when the Yardbirds played. I will NEVER forget that, either.

Together, that evening with Beatles and the Yardbirds (above all else) started a life-long love of contemporary music, which continues to this day. It was a cathartic moment which triggered a VERY important part of my life! You can't say more than that.

Something magical for me started that night...
