Beatles Superfans Can See Paul McCartney In Concert And Recreate This Iconic Moment
Beatles superfans will surely recognize this iconic 1964 photo capturing music’s most famous quartet fishing from a guestroom of the Edgewater hotel in Seattle, where the band members stayed during their first global tour.
Like the rest of the world, Seattle was so overwhelmed by “Beatlemania” that the Edgewater was the only hotel willing and able to host the band, installing cyclone fencing around its perimeter to keep crazed fans at a safe distance. (Legend has it, some superfans even attempted to swim across the chilly waters of the Bay in the hopes of getting a glimpse of the Brits.) During their stay, now-iconic images were captured of young and playful John, Paul, George, and Ringo hanging fishing poles out the windows of their hotel suite into the waters of Elliott Bay.
Now, nearly 60 years later, the Edgewater is giving Beatles fans the chance to recreate this famous scene with a unique hotel and concert experience timed to the Seattle stop on Paul McCartney's “Got Back” tour this May. The very limited package includes a pre-show dinner, tickets to the concert, luxe round-trip transportation, and a night’s stay in the Edgewater’s Beatles Suite.
