The Remains

Here's a short article about Barry Tashian, who played in the opening band for The Beatles' last-ever concert, as well as at Shea in 1966.

George was a nice guy, as were John, Paul and Ringo. Tashian says they were just like their characters in the comedy film A Hard Day’s Night.

Tashian says he’ll never forget the shrieking, crying and roaring from the stadium crowds on that tour.

And Tashian says he really, really should have asked for autographs.

But why would he collect autographs? After all, he was going to spend the rest of his life around rock stars and adolescent shrieks and cassette players. He and The Remains weren’t at fantasy camp, they were joining the club.
