Beatlemania storms the USA

On February 7, 1964, a Pan Am flight from London lands in NYC and the British invasion is on. “Beatlemania" storms ashore with their first visit to the USA. The Beatles; a British rock-and-roll quartet that had just scored its first No. 1 U.S. hit six days before with "I Want to Hold Your Hand." At the airport the "Fab Four"decked out in mod suits and sporting their trademark pudding bowl haircuts were greeted by 3,000 screaming fans who caused a near riot when the boys stepped off their plane and onto American soil. It seems like only “Yesterday” that they burst on the scene.

Years ago because of a dock workers strike I got stranded me in Liverpool England for a few days. I took advantage of this delay and got to visit a few sights related to “the guys with the hair in their eyes” early days!

Rock on!
