Today is the 50th anniversary of the release of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album.
It Was 50 Years Ago Today....
Didn't realize. Sgt Pepper is great but it's only fourth or fifth in Beatles Albums for me:
Revolver>Rubber Soul>White Album>Sgt Pepper or Abbey Road
May listen to it in the next few days, not listned to The Beatles in ages.

Still remember the first time I saw the Beatles...it was a live concert from Shea Stadium that was filmed and broadcast by ABC in 1966...it was absolutely amazing.

I think, currently, my list would be this:
Revolver
A Hard Day's Night (I think this one doesn't get as much respect as it deserves)
Rubber Soul
Let It Be
Sgt. Pepper

Apparently The Beatles weren't that good live because of all of the insane screaming woman (and men probably) in your ear. haha. As well as the not very good audio systems then. It was a big part of why they stopped touring i believe.

It's hard to pick one Beatles album that I love the most, because I love them all. I find that I listen to Revolver more than most. Sgt. Pepper is a true classic with one of the songs, Lovely Rita, being my favorite all-time Beatles song. But, if I were forced to choose, then it would have to be Abbey Road, which I've listened to more than any other of their work.
I was lucky enough to see George Harrison in concert in 1974 (my first concert ever). Unfortunately, we didn't stay for the whole concert as all the smoke from various locations in the arena made me a bit ill (and burned my eyes). Plus, George's voice was very ragged. If you've ever heard his song, "Dark Horse," you can get an idea of how his voice was messed up that year. Still a great song. We might have stayed despite all of this but...he had Ravi Shankar with him and they alternated songs! I couldn't stand his music and neither could the family friend who took me to the concert. After about 45 minutes, we left. If I'd had more concert experience, I might have endured Ravi, the smoke, etc. but it wasn't to be.
I did get to see Paul McCartney in the 90's and he was awesome! He sang a lot of Beatles songs, plus Wings, plus solo hits.
Happy Anniversary Sgt. Pepper!

I have never understood the screaming for any celebrity.

The phenomenon was called Beatlemania.
I wish I'd been there.
I wasn't there, I watched it on ABC, I didn't mean to make you think I was in Shea Stadium.

Abba should never be mentioned in a thread about The Beatles.
