All this articles insisting on the Beatles stuff are repetitive. There is life out of the 60's and concerts have evolved a lot since that. Would not pay a dime for that crappy Beatles concert. Would pay for Pink Floyd pulse, U2 hanging car-lamps in Zooropa, the Michael Jackson anti-gravity boots, Ziggy and the Spiders of Mars, Alice Cooper or Marylin Manson ruling over the outrage rock theater, A-ha's Rock In Rio, Pink doing circus antics, Genesis, Dire Straits, Madonna, Radiohead, Chemical Brothers, Nirvana, Coldplay, Gaga, Swift, Robbie Williams, Parliament Funkadelic, Depeche mode ... Any of those had astounding new original effects for its time, better lights, electronics and hardware and often very skilled musicians. I will not discuss that the Beatles songs are hugely popular but as musicians, they were average, and frankly a little boring on scene. And this is just a western-centric and limited point of view of course. Can't talk about B'z or Glay concerts, for example.

My mom saw Hendrix and the Beatles in Seattle… she said both shows were awful because you couldn’t hear a thing due to subpar sound systems and, in the case of the Beatles, screaming young women. For the type of music they were playing the venues just didn’t have the tech yet to accommodate their respective sounds and crowds.

Not sure I'd care to experience Beatles @ Shea, but would liked to have seen some Cavern and Hamburg shows. Would liked to have gone to some early AC/DC shows too... I actually stood in line for Achtung Baby tickets ('92 IIRC) as a favor for a friend who couldn't get time off work. But he ended up selling my ticket to someone for double what I was able to pay him (he fronted the money for me to stand in line with). Fun times. Last summer over dinner he said "yeah, that was kind of an asshole move of me..." - so, he still remembered...
