My sister bought me a t-shirt as a condolence gift. I still have it (with Cyndi's name spelled wrong on it -- doh!) and it's so small it fits on my teddy bear.

The concert was held at the old Athletics (baseball) stadium. The group was out on the field, if I remember correctly at approximately 2nd base. Everyone was crying, shouting and cheering so loudly that you could hardly hear the music. But it was fabulous! We had a pair of binocs so we could make out each and every member of the group. I had my favorite, George, and my girlfriend loved Paul.<br>When the concert was over, a helicoptor landed on the field to wisk our beloved Beatles away.

Ohio was so cool, but hitching a ride to Gooselake, Mich for a 3 day fun fest of drugs, sex, and rock and roll was the top of the list for me at 16 years old. Had to lie to my poor mother and sneak out of town but it was well worth the trip. Many surprise quest musicians including Jefferson Starship, Hendrix, The Animals, Three Dog night, Janis etc... Music all day and all night, we didn't sleep at all. didn't want to miss the fun.
