Post by: Euan Buchan on December 10, 2013, 10:31:18 AM
After seeing it many times on TV and in books I saw Strawberry a fields for real when I was in New York last week it was brilliant it wasn't too busy but busy enough had to wait abit to get my picture taken so I filmed this while I waited http://youtu.be/-B_6Ngkp6NI (http://youtu.be/-B_6Ngkp6NI) I also visited and had my picture taken at the band stage featured in Mind Games and outside The Dakota. I wasn't sure if Yoko was in though.

Have posted this before but it's a fave of mine.

Me and Officer Moran at Strawberry Fields, June 1997.

I'm really glad you had the opportunity to do all this Euan. I've been to New York City several times in the past few years, driving for a service dog organization. By the time we're done delivering dogs to the training school and taking the train into the city it's just about dark. I definitely want to make the trip on our own soon and see this important site.
