Incredibly detailed documentation of a Beatles concert in 1966 by a girl who wanted future generations to know what it was like to see The Beatles live in concert.
On page 6 Elaine documents The Beatles set list and the crowd response. When Paul played "Yesterday", the audience went silent, "and the only sound to be heard was girls sobbing".
Elaine ends her memory of the show that night by saying, "We had seen The Beatles & we had been fortunate enough to have tasted their heavenly ambrosia for a few moments, that was all that mattered."
On the final page, the concert has ended, The Beatles have left, and Elaine and he friend Linda lingered to look at the empty stage. It is only then that Elaine says she felt like crying.
I wonder whatever happened to Elaine? I consider this artifact to be like The Beatles themselves giving us the Get Back documentary, a gift to Beatles fans that we cannot thank her enough for.
Thread: On August 16, 1966 a girl named Elaine went to the Beatles concert at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia. When she got home that night she wrote out 7 pages sharing her experience. It's a fascinating read, documenting the show as well as being a teenage girl during Beatlemania. pic.twitter.com/nxZcgW4CSn
