My first actual Concert, great atmosphere, but couldn`t hear them because of the screaming lol.
It was also my first concert. The volume of screaming was something to behold.
A man I used to work with saw the Beatles at the Winter Gardens Margate in 1963. He said when the Beatles appeared on stage all the girls started to scream. He thought, “They’ll calm down in a minute.” They didn’t, they kept up the screaming the whole time. He said it was a shame because you couldn’t hear The Beatles.
