I saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show but never live. I was a teen. I missed an opportunity to see George Harrison at MSG (Madison Square Garden) in the early 70s. He was doing a concert for Bangladesh ( a live album) An opportunity I regretted at the time.

Fun fact - the Beatles used the baseball stadium PA system. This is long before the elaborate speaker systems of today. How they managed to play with screaming crowds and a poor sound system, I'm amazed they played as well as they did. They made more money from those live shows that their record sales.

I did see Elvis at the Chicago Stadium in the mid 70s. Not an Elvis fan at the time - but the show was great.
