The Last Waltz … of The Beatles
How do you separate fact from fiction about a group that has arguably become the world's biggest band, The Beatles? I've told this story before, but it bears repeating as one of the most underrated moments in rock 'n' roll history.
Since the band's inception well almost 60 years ago, there have been thousands of accounts from the international tabloids, overwhelmed venue owners, miniskirted blondes, flabbergasted hotel maids (what they were called at the time), intense production people and countless other "firsthand" resources. Even though the band was really only together just a few years (formed in 1960, first hit in 1962, "Love Me Do," exploded in America in 1964 and they broke up in 1969-70), the number of behind-the-scenes stories outnumber the amount of days the band was in existence altogether.
