Something in late 1976 at the Dakota
Why my confusion on this photo: I found this photo in a 1976 issue of Beatles Unlimited. Included with two John photos (one posted here) was a story about fans meeting John in 1976 in Boston. I started typing up the story and then thought, "this sounds really, really familiar. I wonder if I already have it on the site." Sure enough -- I did. The story originally appeared in With a Little Help From My Friends without any photos included. So I just jumped to the assumption that this photo was from Boston. Why else would it be in the middle of a story about John in Boston, right? Well -- I should have looked closer for sure because you all are right --- John is outside of the Dakota. Ooops!
Here is the story from Boston if you are interested.
Looks like outside the Dakota to be honest..
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, I know you know this site: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/solobeatlesphotosforum/17-september-1976-boston-ma-stay-15-18-september-t1888.html. Other pics from that day show it was a hot day indeed, with John wept under the sun, so this is actually not from that day. As someone else pointed it, this is from Autumn/Winter 1976
ReplyDeleteCiao!

I am aware of that site because I was the person that founded it. lol As I said below -- 2 photos (this one and another) were in a fanzine with a story about fans meeting John in Boston. I jumped to the conclusion that the photos and the story went together (because that is how it could be, right?).
DeleteWas a good year to be a Boston Beatles fan in '76. In addition to John's visit, George was there 2 mos later, and Wings performed there in May.
ReplyDeleteYeah. That’s the stone railing against the sidewalk of the Dakota Building and Central Park behind. Sorry!
ReplyDeleteI understand what you are all saying about this photo. I found it in a fanzine from 1976 included in it is a story (that is already on the blog) about fans meeting John in Boston. I just assumed that this photo (and another one I should post it too) would go along with the story because the same person wrote a story about meeting George in Boston in the same fanzine and those photos were correct. But you are right -- the background sure does look like the Dakota.
