Toast of the Town (1948)
Elvis and the Beatles
I saw both shows as a young almost teenager. I had older siblings whose friends crowded our TV room. The girls were shrieking so loud the guys almost could not hear the singing. My mom was right there shrieking with the girls and I remember my dad saying, "What is the big deal?" Well the big deal was the fact that every TV in our town was tuned into to that same show each night. If someone dared to walk outside I bet shrieks would have been heard all over the neighborhood. The kids at school were talking about those shows for weeks. In fact, we knew when the Beatles were going to be on weeks before and parties were planned in advance. On the day of the event, the guests started arriving in the early afternoon. We were seeing musical history right in front of our eyes.
