My big brother’s copy of “abbey Road” has “Her Majesty” as the final track.

I had 5th row center tickets to see the Beatles when they came to Memphis, Aug 19, 1966. It was unforgettable.

Yep, very well could be, I just recall the disappointment when I got home, LOL. This was most likely shortly after one of their Ed S appearances.

Yep, but that was after settling on Ringo Starr. They also used an occasional drummer when Ringo got sick during their touring years.

The Rutles will always be the greatest Beatles knock-off.

I knew someone who attended the Shea Stadium concert. The video shows non stop screaming. The Beatles were convinced to stop touring and doing stadiums because back then with the crappy monitors etc and all the screaming they couldn't hear each other. No act does that anymore, hours of standing constant screaming fans

“Ouch!” was their best song by far.

Paul continues to squeeze every last molecule of juice out of The Beatles 53 years after they broke up. It’s really kind of pathetic.

Paul was always the crowd-pleaser. People want Beatles' stuff. He's 80, with more money than he will ever spend. Nonetheless he STILL makes albums of non-Beatles material, and through the years dabbled in Country ("Sally G"), Opera ("Liverpool Oratorio"), and his active in many charities, both non-controversial and a bot out there.

I have never an advocate of cannibis use, but if anyone wants to argue with me about it inhibiting ambition and activity, Paul McCartney would be a great example, as he has been a pretty serious pot head for decades.

Their long hair (not so long by today's standards) was shocking at the time.

What I really like about the early Beatles was the ease and smart-aleck way they handled the condescending press. The reporters of the day, totally befuddled by their sudden popularity, would often hit them with the most insulting and cringe-worthy questions. All four of the Beatles always had snappy answers, putting these stiffs in their places. By the end of the press conference, those reporters did not know what hit them.

The early Beatles were the best. Their music all the way up to Revolver, despite being "bubble-gummy" at times, was simply some of the greatest pop music ever created.

From Sergeant Pepper on, their catalog does not age as well in my opinion. Some of those later songs, like "I Am The Walrus" and "Maxwells Silver Hammer" are just hard to listen to.

The Knickerbockers had a hit with “Lies” that sounded exactly like the Beatles.
