Today is the 45th Anniversary of the Beatles one and only visit to San Diego!!! Do you remember?? I do!
The Fab Four performed August 28, 1965 in Balboa Stadium! And get this.. the tickets cost $3.50, $4.50 or $5.50 each. I didn't get to go but I do remember watching them on The Ed Sullivan Show.
While 27,000 tickets were available for The Beatles' concert, only 17,000 fans turned out for the show. The band's pay? $50,135, just $135. more than the $50,000 the group was guaranteed for the performance.
The Beatles performed 12 songs: Twist and Shout, She's a Woman, I Feel Fine, Dizzy Miss Lizzy, Ticket to Ride, Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby, Can't Buy Me Love, Baby's in Black, I Wanna Be Your Man, A Hard Day's Night, Help! and I'm Down.
I thought those were some pretty cool facts... and take a look at this old picture of John, Paul and George taken in 1957..... I don't think they have a clue here what impact they were about to make on the world!
And do these bring back some memories?
I STILL have every single one of these albums:

I don't care what anyone says... I'm still their greatest fan!
She Loves You Yay Yay Yay!
