Paul McCartney Diary Entry
18th August 1966 Ugh, another live performance in America. People were screaming and shouting, it was crazy. Does no one understand safety or something? Anyways, what’s so good about us? Why do they always go crazy? You could hardly hear us over the noise. We had dinner out, but someone must have told some fans because there paparazzi surrounding the restaurant! I'm so tired so I think I'll just go to bed now.

Everyone had rented before but then people had starting to think about owning their own house. People are thinking about owning a car and a television, even foreign holidays. Now almost everyone owns there own house or apartment. People don't really question having a car and, if you have a house it is most likely you have a television. Dublin has a lot more city with shops and, so the streets are busier.

What it was like to be at a Beatles concert
One of the most exciting experiences I had when I was young (17) was attending the Beatles concert at the Adelphie cinema on the 7th November 1963.I was with my friend Patricia and we were so excited to be allowed to go. The atmosphere was absolutely manic- fans pushing everywhere . When John, Paul, George and Ringo arrived on stage the whole audience went absolutely mad- screaming and screaming. It was such a brilliant concert. I’ll never forget it. Luckily our seats were at the back so we got out quickly when it was over. Lots of people lost their shoes in the crush at the end!!
