"Most of us remember the first time we heard The Beatles. This fall we'll have the chance to experience what it was like to actually be one of the Fab Four with The Beatles: Rock Band, which takes players on a journey through the band's legendary career. We've just learned that the Limited Edition Premium Bundle will include The Beatles: Rock Band software; a Höfner Bass controller; The Beatles-inspired and Ludwig-branded Rock Band drums with classic pearl finish, a metal kick pedal and a vintage replica drumhead; plus a microphone with stand, as well as additional special content."
Flash back. September 18, 1964. I was about to turn 14 in two days. We at our friends house and their dad, a Dallas Police officer calls. He is working the Beatles concert that night and did his wife and kids want to come. He could get them in free. His wife wasn't interested, but my mom said she'd go and take all us kids. (me, the oldest, my sister and his daughter, both three years younger than me.) So we headed over to the Memorial Coliseum downtown. Went to the entrance he told us to, told the officer there we were the officers family and they slipped us under the barricade. He was waiting for us inside. He put us in a spot right below the stage and told us to stay there. Since we were standing, Mom found a place near there against a wall and there we stayed, much to our regret later. He came to find us right before the concert was over, but couldn't. He was going to take us back stage to meet the guys as they came off stage, who he was escorting out of the building. Bummer! But that night changed all of us. The Beatlemania was contagious. We went in barely liking these long haired weirdoes and came out in tears, madly in love. Even my mom. I still have their albums. The first one Meet the Beatles, the White Album, Revolver, Abby Road, Magical Mystery Tour, St. Peppers, around a dozen I think. Now I'm interested to see what this new game is like and how well it's received by the gaming community.
