'Rain' brings back Beatles' glory
Beatles tribute will make you want to twist and shout  - Theater Review

John Lennon once said: “Music is everybody’s possession. It’s only publishers who think that people own it.”And based on the multigenerational crowd that flocked to Tuesday night’s opening of Rain – A Tribute to The Beatles, I would have to agree. Enthusiastic baby boomers rocked out alongside 20-year-old hipsters. Parents boosted up young children for a better view, while silver-haired grandmas swayed to the music.

Harry Benson’s Luminous Black-and-White Photographs of The Beatles, 1964-1966
From pillow fights to world domination, or what Beatlemania has to do with Jesus Christ.

The past year has been a boon for seeing The Beatles with new eyes — from their tour manager’s never-before-published tour photos to Linda McCartney’s tender portraits to rediscovered vintage children’s books — but count on Taschen to up the ante on any cultural trope. The newly released The Beatles: On the Road 1964-1966 is a lavish collection of hundreds of Harry Benson’s luminous black-and-white photographs of the Fab Four at close quarters — from ecstatic encounters with fans to quiet moments in the recording studio to playful boyish frolicking.
