This made me cry within the first minute! I really wish I could have gone! :( Why didn't I??? I haven't been to Strawberry Fields for over a year now.

Wonderful video collection of the events that happened that day... Now I know what I had missed! So much for this lonely Beatles fan!

Fear not - there will be a similar get-together on December 8th. It's a bit more somber on that day for obvious reasons, but the music will ring out and live on!
