You're right, Kennedy was Killed Nov '63, and the Beatles were the picker upper the country needed. I remember watching all 3 appearances, I was in the 8th grade and really never paid attention to music until then. We had a station in St. Pete, WFSO AM that played nothing but the Beatles non-stop for a week. A really great station for a dozen years, but fell to the wayside as FM took over in the mid 70's. I mostly bought 45's like a lot of kids, but the first LP I bought was Sgt Pepper, the second was Spirit S/T debut and third was Grand Funk On Time.
