If you could step into the WAVAC machine and travel back in time to spend two weeks chumming around with the fab four at any point in their career,where would you set the dial? Please explain your answer. :D

As always, thanks for playing!

No question about the time for me Kira: 1962-1963. There was magic in the air at the time.

If I could have been there for the filming of the Revolution video, that would be it for me.

The eras might be a little askew depending on your point of view...the Help!, Rubber Soul, Revolver, and Sgt Pepper years are an era unto themselves to me (and kind of represent my vote for Sgt Pepper). Pre-"Help!" back to '63 is Beatlemania to me. Post-Sgt Pepper is a closing era, more representative of solo efforts with a backing band to me.

Point well taken, Bill. That's just kinda how I perceived it, and just looking at a two-week period that would have been the peak experience of them for us. :)

I chose 61-62 but was sorely tempted to pick 56-61

And since 56-61 is 5 years compared to the 2 of my vote, maybe I should have voted differently.

I choose 56-66

I was the first to vote for the post-1970 solo years...

I figure some pretty wide-ranging and comprehensive conversations could be had at any point after the breakup...

"Rubber Soul"-"Revolver" era for me...sure they were stoned off their asses at that time, but a lot of gold was being made then!
