🎼6 March 1970. Let it be is the last single of the Beatles to see the light. Written and sung by #PaulMcCartney, who had already announced his departure from the band. The eponymous album was released 2 months later but Beatles didn't exist anymore πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
If there ever was a Unesco World Heritage for Music, they should maybe have done something to preserve the #Beatles but... that's how the story went.
In Chat RoomπŸ‘‡ I post the only existing picture of the Beatles in Venice!!!

"If there was no Carl Perkins there would be no Beatles."
- #PaulMcCartney

In early 1960s the #Beatles started as a sort of #CarlPerkins cover band, often playing his hits "Blue Suede Shoes", "Matchbox", "Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby", "Honey Don't".
#GeorgeHarrison sometimes even adopted the stage name Carl Harrison in honor of their biggest influence 🀟

🎼 The Garden Fete

On July 6 1957, a Saturday, a local parish in a Liverpool neighborhood held an event which they called πŸ‘‰ The Garden Fete: the event consisted in a procession, various sort of parades, and a final concert named for the occasion The Grand Dance.
To close the day a local band of teenagers was called, The Quarry Men Skiffle Group: the band leader and frontman was John Lennon (aged 16).
Some minutes before the concert Lennon was trying to tune his guitar🎸in "G" but he didn't know how, a guy from the public introduced himself and taught Lennon how to do: his name was Paul McCartney (aged 15) who later performed on stage with the band 2 songs and soon after entered the band.

This was the day when #JohnLennon and #PaulMcCartney first met, 2 teenagers in a Liverpool church garden who were destined to become great friends and the most succesful songwriters of all times!

The Beatles
πŸ“€ A Hard Day's Night
#Rock #PopRock #Pop

60 years ago The Beatles from Liverpool, #UK released their 3rd studio album.

A Hard Day's Night is the first #Beatles album to contain only songs written by the duo Lennon-McCartney and the first where George Harrison plays a 12-string guitar, thus popularizing instrument and sound.

Side A of the album is the #soundtrack of the film of the same name focused on the Beatlemania, starring the Fab Four themselves: it came out along with the album and both had an unprecedented commercial success!

A Hard Day's Night (film) is still considered one of the best music movies of all time and it basically influenced everything visual that came after (Musicals, TV Shows, Videoclips...).

In this album:
#JohnLennon β€“ vocals, guitars, harmonica, piano
#PaulMcCartney β€“ vocals, bass, piano, cowbell
#GeorgeHarrison β€“ vocals, guitars
#RingoStarr β€“ drums

Additional musician
#GeorgeMartin β€“ piano, production

πŸŽΈπŸ“œ #25September 1976.

The first ever Rock concert in Venice island took place in #SanMarco Square.
#PaulMcCartney and the Wings played in front of a local and international audience on the 10th anniversary of the 1966 terrifying flood that almost destroyed the city.

The concert was the final act of a series of events organized by Unesco to raise awarness on Venice fragility and donations to preserve the city.

Fun fact: the stage was built in the usual way of the time, like they were anywhere else in the world, the day after the pavement stones in San Marco square were damaged 😬
