From the captions: By mid-afternoon, the band had had enough of the freezing weather (Britain was still in the grip of one of its worst winters). "They got fed up, and the ?nal shot, on the zebra crossing, was ruined because Paul disappeared behind Ringo. They could not be bothered to do it again, and nor could I." But the idea would reappear on the cover of Abbey Road.

I had no idea Ringo and Paul like anal shots.

FTFA: The biggest day in the Beatles' life

"Lives." "Lives" was the word you were looking for.

TFA: The biggest day in the Beatles' life [um, lives]

Nah, that would more likely have been the Ed Sullivan Show, Shea Stadium debut, the day they met Elvis Presley, or the first day they dropped acid. No way was it this day. Sorry, irrelevant attention-seeking photographer guy.

Thought this was going to be about Astrid Kirchherr. I liked her photographs better.

Yeah, this.

I thought I was going to see a photo of the exact moment when they learned "Please Please Me" hit number one. I saw no such photo. Just a bunch of bored Beatles in dreary Liverpool.

What I'd give for one of those vintage Vox amps...

Am I blind or are there no actual pictures? The only thing in the lower right is an awful picture of Michael Jackson.

That and one of k.d. lang, who eerily resmbles a young John Lennon.

Gotta click on the link on the right underneath the four boys.


/that guy couldn't have made it any clearer he didn't like the Beatles and still doesn't.

If Elvis hadn't convinced John to toss Albert Goldman out of the band.

I liked them better when they were the Clarences.

I was a schoolboy when I heard my first Beatles song. Love Me Do, I think it was...

/Got nuthin'

When they met Elvis, they were stunned at what a rube he was.

Elvis didn't know their names, and referred to each of them as "Beatle". "Hey, Beatle, let me show you my Cadillac." Hey, Beatle, why you got all them rings?"

 
Pontius Gandalf 2008-02-05 06:06:01 PM  
And everybody wanted to be like them, everybody wanted to be The Beatles. And I really wanted to be like him. But he died.

not to call you out for being a dumbfark or anything, but I believe it was a play on the title to a famous beatles song, "A Day in the Life"

I love links suggesting pictures, video, or comprehensive "lists" that link to articles. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The pictures really aren't all that great. The shots in the Cavern are bad since Mr Pro Photographer forgot his flash. I can understand why John Lennon was clowning around with this guy.
