'Love' Opens Tonight

Was there a typo...or did someone without a clue...say that the Beatles did NOT tour during their glory days...Or, maybe, they didn't have a concert in Vegas, so that's equivalent to not ever having toured???
Yep...I was there...One of their last concerts...August 28, 1966 at Dodger Stadium...and proud of it...can't ya tell???
Not a Vegas lifer...but a Beatles lifer...

Hi Tina, thanks for your note. I am sure you know this, but you actually saw the 2nd to last Beatles concert ever before a paying audience. The next day they finished the American tour playing San Francisco on August 29, 1966. After that the band's focus became the studio. And, out of the studio came discs like Sgt. Pepper, The White Album and Abbey Road. The band never brought those songs on the road. Yrs., Richard

If you mean their artistic glory years from Sgt. Pepper to the breakup 1966 to 1970 then no they didn't play any concerts during that time except for their impromptu appearance on the rooftop of Apple Studios in Saville Row London on January 30, 1969. But the Beatles did INDEED play Las Vegas during their summer and fall tour of the U.S. .... Convention Center, Las Vegas - August 20, 1964

FYI,
I was in attendance at the 1st of the two Beatles Las Vegas Convention Center shows 8/20/1964. I was 8 years old and attended Paradise school--now I'm back in Indiana (since 1965). The show was the loudest in terms of fan involvement that I've ever witnessed--unrelenting--and I've seen the biggest. The show was short but very sweet as they played their biggest hits up till then and added some new ones from the recently released A Hard Days Night film--I had just seen the film the week before at the old Huntridge Theater and remember the screaming from within the theater as we waited for the next showing. I also remember exiting the convention center and watching still crazy teenage girls tearing at the grass outside after the concert. A VERY memorable show for me and still crystal clear in many respects at age 50!!

Hey Kelly, I too was at that same concert at the Convention Center in Las Vegas on August 20, 1964. I was 11 days from turning 8 years old myself. I attended J. T. McWilliams school-- now I live in Arkansas. You are right about it being loud and the crazy teenage girls. I to remember it like it was yesterday. The crowds were screaming and pulling at their hair. It was a scene I had never experienced and still to this day, 44 years later, nothing has ever come close to that experience. I can remember my Mother putting cotton in my ears, because of the piercing noise of all the fans. Of all things, can you imagine, putting cotton in your ears at what is now the ledgendary "Beatles" concert. It is still a VERY memorable show for me as well.
