Just to follow up on my earlier ramble...(this is fun for me dredging up these thoughts from my youth)...the opening act was a band, also from England, called Sounds Incorporated. When they finished and left the stage, the lighting was dimmed so much that you couldn't tell what was going on except for a bunch of silhouettes of roadies moving gear around.

 

When things slowed down and a hush came over the crowd, a single spotlight came on pointed at Ringo's bass drum which still had the Sounds Incorporated logo on it. In a split second the last stage hand pulled the logo off of the drum exposing the Beatles logo...a split second later the stage lights came on and all the Beatles were in position...a split second after they broke into "She Loves You"....at which time all hell broke loose.

 

Dynamic start. Lots of screaming. A good night was had by all. This photo below was taken from the general area where we were seated.

Is this the Taylor swift thread? Sure looks like a blast downtown and very well organized. Short video on twitter of the area outside, big screen and all. Lots of people just hanging out to be part of the scene.

Great photo of the Beatles. I went with my brother and his friend to the Empire Stadium concert. Just recall a lot of screaming. My parents were very trusting (I was a little kid) and waited outside the stadium.

That's pretty good comedy.  90% of throuples are MMF and then some smaller amount are MMM.   There are very few MMF throuples, but of course media runs this image.

90% are MMF but there are very few MMF?

We’ve seen a huge proliferation of this ‘experts say’ line in recent years, indeed.
