I arrived in The Apple last week to check out the sights
Got in line to get inside for the show tonight
And as they let us in
My head began to spin
As I climbed up those theater stairs
It was such a high
Thinkin' 'bout that February 9
Sat high in the balcony to watch the show
Well there's Dave, Paul and Rosie and Sheryl Crow
And as they're standing right there
My thoughts were spinning through the air
Thinkin' about what happened before on that stage below
Back in 1964
I wish I had been alive
To hear the screams out loud
Oh it must have been a thrill to hear them twist and shout
Four boys from another land came to sing a song
And the world stopped spinning around to sing along
Now I can't say that I was there
But I am sitting in a chair
Probably taken by a screaming fan who witnessed it all
Back in 1964
I wish I had been alive
To hear the screams out loud
Oh it must have been a thrill to hear them twist and shout
I wish I had been alive
To hear the screams out loud
Oh it must have been a thrill to hear them twist and shout
February 9, 1964
What was it like in 1964
Cool to be alive in 1964
