Fans celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' arrival in America with speeches, markers and music, at JFK International Airport, Feb. 7, 2014. John Lennon's sister was there, along with the Lord Mayor of Liverpool, a flight attendant from the historic Pan Am flight a half-century ago, and Billy J. Kramer, sans the Dakotas. Video by Kevin Coughlin for MorristownGreen.com

That young girl dancing to Beatles music early in the video says it all. Beatles today could all be her (great)grandfathers, but their music still moves people. It's fun!

I think "She Loves You" was as good or better than "Hey Jude" which was their #1 best selling #1 hit and judged to be the greatest hit of the 60s.The BEATLES are my favorite all time band (since the early 70s) born 1959.But i think The Doors full length album version of "Light My Fore" is the greatest song of the 60s and maybe the 70s too...better than Stairway To Heaven.I luv Black Sabbaths "Snowblind"

The BEATLEs SHEA Stadium concert was the 1st 'open air" concert held outside in a stadium in history because only THE BEATLES had the stellar star power to attract multiple #s of fans capable of filling an entire stadium of 60,000 screaming delirious BEATLEMANIACS! The Shea stadium attendance record of 60,000 fans was the world record for 6 yrs before it was broken (another record).Paul Mc Cartney and Wings had the world record in 1983 in Australia for having the largest paid attendance concert in history of over 300,000 fans.THE BEATLES had huge stadium concerts all over The USA before they quit playing concerts.Over 100,000 fans appeared outside below their balcony window in Australia in 1964 to see them wave.LUV,LUV,LUV...now muzic biz creates cRAP,cRAPPERS,cRAP-HEADS,cRAPTARDS FLUSHIT!! AMERICAS atmosphere is full of the filthy stench of CRAP.

This is true. The advent of The Beatles helped us TURN the page from JFK. We teens were weary of the endless coverage of the murder, awful as it was.

The Beatles were smashed like a battering ram the wall of skepticism and hostility many American adults and elders had to oppose them. That didn't work (the resistance) because thousands of screaming teenagers were so ready to surrender to the might of Beatlemania; Rock 'N Roll was never the same afterward!!

They luved ELVIS.BTW Elvis` "ELVIS LIVE,1973 ALOHA FROM HAWAII" Hi-Def concert was viewed by 1.5 billion people worldwide and is the most viewed concert of any single musician in history,dwarfing mans 1st landing on the moon (a fraud..courtesy of "Tricky Dicky Nixon").ELVIS still holds a page or 2 of world records.
