The D.C. Coliseum, where the Beatles played their first U.S. concert, then and now
Thanks.
My cousin was at that show. She lived in Springfield, Va. Some how she was able to make the trek from there to the Coliseum. She was 14.
From Springfield to DC for a young teenager was akin to a trip to the moon.
Her parents would never have allowed it, but somehow she pulled it off.
She showed me the ticket stub about 20 years ago.
And on a Tuesday night! Fantastic.
I have a couple of bootlegs of the Coliseum show, one which is pretty good quality, purportedly the unreleased live album that Capital shelved.
Very cool
Beatles Second album - Capitol totally screwed up the mastering on the early Beatles albums. CD of the UK versions sound much better.
If you read this piece, you'll see that I respectfully disagree. ;-)
