I don't know about the best of all time. They were pretty good, as were
many others. Most of the songs they played were creations of the Lennon
and McCartney song writing time. They had a lot of help from their
production team. Some of my favourite songs were Harrison's but he had
a hard time getting past the song writing duo.

I saw that show and I saw them live in Toronto. It turned me off the
large concert venues. As soon as the Beatles came on stage the girls
started screaming and I never heard a note. I was just a kid and didn't
appreciate the opening act, King Curtis. It was not until many years
later that I realized that the day I saw the Beatles I also saw Jimi
Hendrix. He was the guitarist for King Curtis on that tour.

Beats me. I am sure they will try to find a way to blame men for it. ;-)
