rushing the stage


John chased onstage by a fan in Rome 1965


New York 1964



George appears to be happy here with this fan in 1964



A fan jumps on stage in San Francisco 1965 and steal one of John's famous hats.


My favorite Beatle concert riot is Cleveland 1966

Another photo of the Cleveland '66 riot. She got Ringo!


This fan didn't seem to make to to the Beatles before police caught her.

Boston 1966: There is an interview with this fan right before he ran up onstage. He tells the DJ interviewing him (with the concert going on in the background) what he is going to do. Then the DJ gives a little play by play on what he is doing until the cops get to him.


Fan giving George a little on stage hug


I love how George is over at his mic looking at what is going on.



Whenever I see these photos of Beatles fan rushing the stage at a Beatles concert, I think "Yeah! Way to go!" Although I often wonder what they thought they would actually do up there. Kiss the Beatle? Just say hi? Haha. In all reality, I know that I would not have been someone who would have rushed the stage if I were at a Beatles concert. I am sort of big on following the rules and not liking trouble. But still....I like to cheer for the those fans that made it.
