Just wait until you're 40, Kaleidoscope_Eyes! Life will seem very short indeed. In fact, it gets shorter the older you are!  

That said, I don't believe Pete Best went to Brian Epstein's funeral. I've never seen it mentioned. The Beatles did not go because the family didn't want the crowds, although they went to a memorial service later on.

Quoted from Andy Smith
Maybe they were too embarrased to face
him after what happened

John always said he was chicken. I forget where the quote originated, but it's certainly covered in the Anthology book. Cheers!

OMG, what I would give to even say hi.

Makes me want to ask ... has anyone ever laid eyes on a Beatle?  I went to a Paul McCartney concert, but I mean up close, like close enough to say hi, or even (GASP) shake hands or something?



I love John,
I love Paul,
And George and Ringo,
I love them all!

at least he was rolling in the dough....

Oh, I get it.   (Better late than never...)

Ooh, tell us more, DarkSweetLady. I will post George pictures for you. What were your impressions when you met Pete Best? Everyone so far (that I've read about on the web) has really liked him.

harihead you crack me up... I loved the bait! It is a very sexy picture...

OK! Here's the story:

   It was on August 6th at this one concert he was performing at... after the concert he was signing autographs... and we were the last people in line... so we waited for like an hour and a half...
But I was like freaking out for like that whole time. I was like" OMG what do i say!? What if I can't say anything?!... I laugh at it now... ya but I just basically said that i liked the concert and what he was doing now was cool... but I got a drum snare signed.
I didn't want to say anything in refrence to the beatles b/c I didn't know how he might react. but i was wearing a beatle top...

But I didn't know he was signing or I would have bought my camera. . . maybe next time right?
Is that what you wanted to know...

My pleasure, DarkSweetLady!

You got a drum snare signed, how cool! Thanks for the report.  Did you get much of an impression of Pete as a person? I know you were nervous-- I'm sure I would be, too. I just wondered if you got any sense of his personality from seeing him up close. But perhaps he was mostly signing and not chatting.

Anyway, just for fun, here's a pic of the Beatles with Pete:

He was very nice. He seemed very sweet.
I was just nervous because I mean look how close he was to George in that picture. LOL!

I just wish I got a picture of him. My dad said if he tours here again he'll take me.

There you go, nice and sweet. So far, only good reports about Pete. I hope you do get to see him again and get a photo, DSL! That would be lots of fun.

Yes, I noticed that. I assume this must be January (or so) after the first Hamburg trip, when Stu came back for a while before moving to Germany permanently.

He's even closer to George in this picture.

Thanks, DarkSweetLady! I am a mere newcomer, so my picture collection is quite eccentric. I do like the funny ones, however.
