I am extraordinarily fond of that shot, as you may well imagine.
(Incidentally, in case you were wondering, the original b&w Beatles pic was taken by the Fabs' longtime roadie and pal Mal Evans, who was watching the show from the wings and using Paul's 35mm camera.)
Coming tomorrow: The triumphal return of Weekend Listomania!
And don't even try to guess the theme, 'cause there's no way you'll get it!!
So there!!!.

this reminds me of the only time i saw all the beatles in concert live and in person - at dc stadium on august 15, 1966
the ticket had a picture of the beatles on it

i kept that ticket with me for twenty years - as i was taking it out of my wallet to show to someone i would tell the story of going to the concert, mention some of the opening acts - bobby hebb, the cyrkle - and say "and the ticket was autographed after the show!"
and indeed, when my acquaintance turned to the back of the ticket, there it was - MY personal autograph
in the late 1980s somehow my wallet and i became separated - i no longer have the ticket, but i still have the story
truly, as the utopia song - from the album "deface the music", appropriately enough - puts it
life goes on, with or without a reason
life goes on -- enter another season

The Beatles Meet... The Man In Black :-)
How do you not take a good picture of the most famous band in history - Im a Nikon, Kodachrome Guy.
Love Todd but those lyrics give a.nod to Ray Davies, Life Goes On - Sleepwalker
