zrock63 Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 I have a ticket stub from the Beacon Theater in NYC from 12/31/1974, it's torn in half and the group name is gone. I tried everything and can't find any concert listing from the Beacon Theater on this date. Can anyone help out ? thanks in advance...

martinsane Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Wow a mystery New Years Eve show. No help from me but a cool mystery nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinsane Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Well it took a little leg work but I believe it to be this: From what I have read this show ran for about six weeks at the Beacon and the last show was ironically or not New Years Eve 1974. Quote from this article,http://www.meetthebeatlesforreal.com/2014/02/before-there-was-beatles-love-in-las.html : "It was a sad day for us all indeed when, on New Year’s Eve, the closing notice for “Sgt. Pepper” was posted on the call board backstage at the Beacon Theatre. Reasons for the closing were never articulated t the members of the cast, but all plans for the tour were also shelved, and so in early January of 1975, the last performance of “Sgt. Pepper” became a beautiful memory for us all." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the audience was a who's who of then rock stars including the Beetles themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zrock63 Posted September 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 I didn't go to the show, the stub was in bunch of tickets I picked up at a flea market. It's yours if you want it ? thanks again.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
