Whilst Beatlesmania is sweeping across the country with the Sir Paul McCartney Got Back Tour. Last night he played in the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. Unfortunately we could not attend nor can we attend his final concert in Australia which is on the Gold Coast this Saturday.
I confess to being a Beatles tragic since I was child, so much so I have kept a gift given to me by my aunties in the early sixties. My Beatles jnr guitar has travelled with me since I was 7 years old, now residing on Magnetic Island for the past 40 years.
The Beatles toured in Australia June 1964 with huge crowds greeting them everywhere they went. One of the biggest turnouts was in Adelaide, where an estimated 350,00 flocked to the city to catch a glimpse. My aunties travelled down from Adelaide Hills to see them - they are somewhere in this crowd.
