My Dad and Aunt are in there, somewhere. My Grandparents were standing outside the coliseum right before the show, taking in the hooplah when a limo pulled up and the Beatles all jumped out and ran, frantically, to the backstage door. I guess my Grandparents were pretty bemused by the whole thing.

I went to a Beatles Fest in Louisville. It was tons'o'fun and hilariously dorky. Long story short, George's sis was hawking a book called "Before He Was Fab". The book was about George's visit to her in the USA before the Beatles set foot. Neat book (I bought it) and I waited in line to meet her. She beckoned me over and I sat in a chair and we chatted. She was sad about her brother's recent passing but otherwise upbeat and positive; you could tell she really loved her little bro.
The only uncomfortable moment came when I mentioned that I had recently met Pete Best, the original drummer (he played at the Buskirk Chumley - quite fun as well).
Her face clouded over and she fairly hissed, "That man has no personality as all!"
I was a bit startled, and changed the subject.
In retrospect it would appear I got some glimpse behind the curtain - you know, that all these people were on a first name basis and they weren't celebrities, they were real people to each other.
Interesting.
That's it!

Wow. That's great! My daughter will freak out - she's a huge Beatles fan. In fact, John, she has stated that one of her dreams is to meet Ringo or George (guess Paul is outa luck), so we'd love to hear the GH sister-meetng stoy sometime!

You can find the graphics info on Bootlegzone for the cd - I'd like to get my hands on the actual concert disc itself. The sound quality is reasonable, even good. By the way I met George Harrison's sister - it was very strange. She was quite chatty.
