August 27, 1964 -

I collect original Beatles photos and negatives with copyright.   That is my Beatles thing.  I purchased these photos taken by a fan at the Beatles 1964 Cincinnati concert a while back and decided to share them today.   I love photos like these because you know that a fan who brought her own camera to a Beatles concert and was one of the many flashbulbs that went off during the show.   The photo she took of The Beatles isn't great, but it is them without a doubt and they are a little piece of the concert saved 60 years later.  

From my collection....

If you have spent any time talking Beatles with me, you will quickly learn that I am sort of obsessed with the Beatles 1966 North American Tour.   I am trying to to overwhelm this blog with stuff, but I am so excited to share it all with you because I just love this tour.

In the past few years I have started collecting item specific to the Beatles 1966 North American tour.   I don't have a lot of items, but here are a few that pertain to the Chicago show.   An ad from the newspaper for the concert and a ticket stub for the evening show.   The ticket stub isn't really special because it is literally a stub---no Beatles mentioned on the part that is left or anything.  However, the fan that original attended the show wrote "Beatle concert" on the back, which I think is sweet.
