It is somewhat of a tradition here on Meet the Beatles...for Real that on the last two Wednesdays of the year, I take time off from my Wednesday review and count down some of the best things from this blog over the years. This year we are gong to take a look back on the best of the Beatles fan memories. This blog is full of amazing stories from so many of you and even stories from fans who have passed away and have left behind their photos and stories. So this week I am going to share 10-6 of the stories that have gotten the most clicks over the past 7 1/2 years.

This story is actually NOT about a Beatles fan, but about a Rolling Stones fan and how a shirt she made for the Rolling Stones and how that shirt ended up on a Beatles album cover.

This story has picked up views since the Beatles Eight Days a Week film. It has recently been figured out that the footage of Sigourney Weaver is not from the Hollywood Bowl concert, but actually from footage of fans outside of the Garden Party where the Beatles were shaking hands with the children of celebrities.
