...the Beatles played their final concert as a touring band at Candlestick Park in San Francisco, ending the show with their version of Little Richard's "Long Tall Sally".
Of course the band went on to achieve a few more milestones over the subsequent four years...It has been said many times by people a lot more eloquent than I am but it is just mind-boggling that the music encompassing Revolver thru Let it Be was released in a span of four years (and even more amazing when you consider that they were effectively finished with the recording of Let it Be in 1969). Oh and the oldest of them was 30 and the youngest 27 in 1970...
It will be interesting to see what kind of crazy stuff EMI has planned for the 40th anniversary of Sgt. Pepper's next year...They've managed to find some fun things to do with Pet Sounds, a record they have repackaged and reissued to death, so hopefully we can count on some cool goodies...
