(18,383 posts)I had a hell of a lot of fun back then. I was 11 when The Beatles landed. Became a serious Who fan.
I've always believed there's great music in each generation, so seen lots of performers, bands over decades. Seen several favorites many times.
Great music & singing, live shows, fantastic times!
