    A question for Beatles fans to ponder

    Heres a question for you Beatles fan here,
    If you could step back in time and attend an actual Beatles concert would you? I'd pass due too what i've read and saw on tape all i'd hear is girls screaming out the top of there lungs the entire show making the music next to imposable to hear

    Nope, but I'm no Beatles fan

      I'd go just so I can secretly record the concert and sell it as a bootleg in the 70's

        Yes I would. I would like to be at the Ed Sullivan show...with ear plugs.

          I would want to go to one of the earlier shows before they were so big...or their rooftop performance if I could be with them on the roof
          Nostalgia just ain’t what it used to be.

            If I did go back I would go to one of their Japan concerts.

            I read the kids in the audience sat still and listened. It really freaked out the band because they were not used to the polite behavior.


            Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?

              I would have to say being on the rooftop or in the Ed Sullivan theatre. Those are the most iconic to me.
              It's all good!

                Nope...The only concert I probably would have like to have seen of theirs in person would have been the Rooftop concert during Let It Be. Not because it was their last show...but because it really looks like they were enjoying the show...they were having fun. If you look at any of their shows from 63 - 66 it looks like they are just going through the motions of a concert. They didn't look like they were having fun. If anyone can get their hands on the Budokan shows...you can tell that they had just about had it with touring. Plus, the screaming would have put me off completely.
                "When not too many people can see we're all the same
                And because of all their tears,
                Their eyes can't hope to see
                The beauty that surrounds them
                Isn't it a pity".

                  The only time I would have loved seeing them perform would be during the Hamburg years. When they were Raw and loud and probably at their most exciting time. Where they played virtually every song they ever listened to. Plus you would get the Real Beatles not the Brian Epstein cleaned up mop tops.

                  Unless you were sitting in the front row for those early days they were impossible to hear....mind you they didn't even hear themselves so I'm sure many times they gave crap performances.....I never blamed them for stopping the tours. Live performing was crap to them and we the Fans got their best studio Years because of it.......

                    I would go whether I could hear them or not because it is still someting you could tell your kids and grandkids....they are legendary at this point......I've seen McCartney several times in concert and I tell you the guy still rocks.

                      I would slip on my heavy leather jacket and attend the now famous "roof top" Abbey Road sessions.

                        I would have liked to see them at their first US concert in Washington DC. Ringo never played better. He was on fire.

                        I would also have liked to see them on Apple's Rooftop.
