Barbie's view of the Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl '65




I love these type of photos.   I know they are terrible and you can barely even tell that it is the real Beatles up there on the stage, but it shows you what they looked like to a fan at the concert and they give you a little glimpse of what it was like for a fan--not for someone who had a press pass and took professional photographs from the front of the stage, but for a fan that might have saved up her babysitting money and begged her Dad to take her to the Hollywood Bowl that night to see the Beatles.

    Beautifully said, Sara; your ability to put yourself in their shoes - and by extension, us! - is one of the great, unheralded things about this blog. The photograph is beautiful, and in color! Obviously using a flash bulb....love it.
