3 crazy fans before The Beatles Shea Stadium Concert

A very rough black and white silent clip of me and two friends getting ready to see The Beatles at Shea Stadium in 1965. I'm the last one in the clip. From Remembering The Beatles http://www.catanna.com/beatles.htm

I have such a terrible crush on the young Paul ('cause I'm 15) but when I saw him in Las Vegas in 2011 age didn't matter because he's just as awesome as ever, but I loved him in a grandfather kind of way.

@awesomebttf I turned 13 when The Beatles first came to the US and also had a huge crush on Paul & yes he is still as awesome as ever! John was the smart, funny, cool big brother I never had, George was shy like me & Ringo seemed like the boy next door. I soooo wanted to go to the airport to greet their plane but parents nixed that idea so I had to make due with the Ed Sullivan show appearances and press conferences on TV, records, movies & music mags until they came to Shea in the summer of 65

@jayfey77 Wow he must have had a really good camera with a really long lens! I'd love to see them!

[jayfey77]

no you dont understand.he was right near the stage.he told me his story.he had made a fake press pass.and went downstairs before the concert and tried asll the doors.all of them were locked.he finally found one that opened and inside were like 100 cops he said.in his best british accent he told a cop he had been seperated from his entourage.so the cop led him outside and told the cops to let this guy through he is with the beatles party.so he walked out on the grass.he was only 15 or 16.

@jayfey77 OMG that is awesome! I wish he'd been my "date" for the concert LOL!

@marylovesthebeatles ~ I was 12 when I first heard The Beatles on the radio in 1963 and 14 when I saw them at Shea. It was an amazing, unfortgettable, ecstatic esperience... but now I'm stuck with being 59 LOL! I love the way The Beatles music transcends generations... I think people will probably still be listening to it a hundred years from now :-)

I was born in 1997 and it sucks. There are no bands that I enjoy listening to that were around in the past 29 years

@MissBeatleBailey We could hardly hear the music at all (I think John, Paul, George and Ringo had a hard time hearing themselves LOL) but it was sooooooooooo much fun just to be there surrounded by our fellow Beatlemaniacs and seeing (barely) our boys out "in person". It was like being swept up in a wave of ecstasy... I'll never forget that feeling :-)

@They were engaged but it never worked out, I really liked Jane and Linda though.

@alyrill I had such a crush on Paul LOL! And he didn't marry her did he? By the time he married Linda I was happy for them both. Really!
