9th January 2008


I feel very lucky to have been born when I was, growing up in the 50's and being a teenager in the 60's.
I was 16 when the Beatles hit the scene with their first hit record and I remember being at the Palaise when it was first played.
I did actually get to see them live at the Odeon in Nottingham. At the time you usually had to stand in a queue to buy tickets but the Nottingham Council did not like this idea so you had to apply in writing for tickets. My boyfriend, later to become my husband, wrote in for a couple of tickets and we were lucky enough to get two.
So on the day I finished work and quickly went to the bus stop to get the bus over from Leicester, where I lived, to Nottingham. It was very exciting and the Odeon was packed out with all teenage girls. As soon as the fab four arrived on stage the noise was deafening and everyone screamed the whole way through the concert, we never actually heared them sing at all.
Anyway as the last bus left at 10 o'clock we did leave before the end and made our way to the bus station and so off back to Leicester.
The expericence has lived with me ever since, how extremely lucky we were.

Did anyone out there every seen them live at all? Please
leave a comment and let me know
