I was there visiting relatives. My cousin told me the Beatles were going to be playing in a couple of days and I borrowed $4 and got a ticket and went alone. I was in Weston and took the TTC down town and became entangled in the all night vigil at the King Edward Sheraton Hotel. I was at the head of the pack when the Cadillac limo came around the corner. As I rushed the limo I saw through the windows that it was a decoy and I ran around to the back of the hotel, a few hundred hungry Beatle fans on my tail, and saw the police paddy wagon enter the back garage door and saw John, and I forget the other Beatle, get out and wave to all and then the door came down. Much later they were waving at the crowd from a balcony out front. What a rush!! I was a 14 year old major Beatle nut. I went to the concert that night alone, except for the other , I think, 18,000 Beatles nuts. The $4 ticket got me way up high at the back where I couldn't see much. There were, I believe 4 other acts, the Hollies, the Cyrcle, the Remains, a couple others, and by the time the Beatles hit the stage, I was in the front row almost dead center. I had the family Kodak Brownie camera with me with a few frames left to take pictures. However, I was so awe struck I never took the shot. But I still have the camera and somewhere in the house is the ticket stub, ripped in half. I'll find it again some day. 3 night s ago I had my next personal close up experience with a Beatle. I saw Paul McCartney at 60 feet tall in Halifax Nova Scotia. What a mind blower. About 60,000 fans. I've been to a number of hot concerts in my time, but these 2 are definitely at the top of the list. I can die a little easier now. I figure I'll finally get to meet them all on the other side some day. I'd give my right ******* to hear a bit of that 1966 concert just one more time. Actually, I'd giv 'em both. I have been a musician for quite a few years thanks to them. I've been in a professional Beatle copy band in the early 80's, and was also a professional photographer thanks to that little Kodak camera. I'm now in the video production biz here in Moncton NB. And I know I'm better for knowing the Beatles. Thanks for reading. I was at that concert in Toronto.

Just wondering what the source for the information that the tape owner wrote about it was. I'm writing this up for the site and giving you credit, but I'd also like to know where the tape owner's comments came from. Hey guys, thanks for the info on the Toronto tape.
