       Ah, nostalgia.

       A lot of this we’ve seen before, but put together like this? No.

       The touring years, 1963-1966.

       I was there, you know. Saw the first Ed Sullivan Shows. Saw A Hard Day’s Night when it came to the cinema in our little town (and about 25 times since then). I was at the St Paul-Minneapolis Airport to see them disembark and walk across the field.

       And I was at the Met Stadium in Bloomington, Minnesota, in August 1965.

       Thank you, Ron Howard. What can it be but
