I was 16 and a devoted Beatles fan when I saw them at Mets
Stadium. We had very good seats right in front of one of the monstrous speakers
so we heard the music quiet well. It was like having an out of body experience.
You just could not believe you were hearing the Beatles live in concert. Paul
would wave in our direction and hundreds of girls would literally pass out.
Thousands of flash bulbs were going off making the sight absolutely surreal.
Seeing the Beatles quite literally changed my life because after that August
night me and my mates went back home and started a band and became professional
musicians, and I am still playing music to this day. Thank you John, Paul
George and Ringo for the music and inspiration you have given to me and to
millions. – Doug
My two cousins and I went to The Beatles concert on August
21st,1965.We sat in the 1st deck, section 5,row 17,seat 6. I was 17 years old.
We enjoyed the concert so much!. We screamed threw the whole concert and it was
hard to hear from all the other screaming fans.My oldest brother had bought me
the ticket to see the concert. I was a night I will never forget. I still have
the ticket stub to this day. – Anonymous
I was a Bloomington Police Officer and part of the personal
body guard attached to the Beatles at Met Stadium, Aug. 21 , 1965. I got all
four of their autographs while riding with in a laundry truck to their
Minneapolis hotel. Still have them. – Butch
"It was just so much fun to be with so many people who loved
the Beatles just as much as I did." –Carol
“When they came out we were just crazy nuts. "Everybody just screamed from the
beginning to the end -- you could barely hear the music." – Candy
"Our whole section would hold Paul's picture up, and he
would nod to us,"We went through all of them. We'd get a little nod or
they'd tip their guitar." – Mary Kay
I remember we sat through what seemed liked hundreds of
opening acts, even though there was probably only three,” she said. And then
when the Beatles finally came on, “it was so quick. Only about a half-hour. The
only song I remember seeing is ‘I’m Down.’ ”—Kathy
“You could hardly see them, and there wasn't a sound system
like there is now, so you know, you just kind of knew you were there and you
were part of the experience." --
