A Beatles party in the Garden

I have written and posted a LOT about the party Alan Livingston hosted at his home to raise money for the Hemophilia Foundation in 1964.   There are many stories of fans who were able to meet the Beatles during this fundraiser and then there was Peggy Lipton who did more than just meet a Beatle at this event!

Just in case you missed it---here is one of the stories.

I have been saving up tons of photos from this event...so I hope you enjoy all of these!

Fans who were not invited just waited outside Alan Livingston's house hoping to see the Beatles 





Ringo looks like he has had enough of shaking hands and meeting people.....

  1. Some of these photos are from my collection. I had them exclusively published for the first time in Los Angeles magazine. I am appalled there is no photo credit.

    1. As you see -- I try my best to credit photographers when I know who they are. I did not get these photos from Los Angeles magazine (I have never heard of it), but someone may have emailed them to me or I discovered them only (It has been over 10 years since I originally shared these, so I don't recall). If you let me know which specific photographs are yours and how you'd like me to credit them, I would be more than happy to do so because I want photographers to be documented. Also if you are so appalled that you want your photographs removed, please let me know exactly which ones you are talking about.
