1965 Beatles fans


1965 Beatles fans, originally uploaded by Photos from the Vault.

Another photo of Beatle fans from the 1960's. The story behind it makes me chuckle!

August 25, 1965
Laura McNamara, and Cheryl Odom members of The San Luis Obispo Beatle Screamies, had precious tickets to the Hollywood Bowl concerts. Marilyn Wilcox and Joan Tregarthen won box seats in a radio contest and the opportunity to interview the band. Tensions in the Screamies over who got tickets and who didn’t lead the fan group to disband…five years before The Beatles made the same decision.
