Yesterday, I went to the 2023 Ohio State Fair again, in part because I got in free since I am over 60 (actually, 61) :) Another reason is I wanted to ride the helicopter, the video of which I posted yesterday.
But I also wanted to see this band, called 1964 Tribute. They are a Beatles tribute band, seemingly focusing on their earlier period, though they did perform a couple from Revolver, which I recall came out in 1966. Admission was free (always a good thing).
Anyway, getting there was an, uh, experience in and of itself. I was taking the bus, which was an hour late (I wanted to get there early so I could get a good seat). Then the bus driver acts like it's more of a leisurely stroll despite his lateness. Another passenger blew up at him because of how late he was.
We finally made it to the Fair gate and through it at exactly the time the concert started (1:00 pm) and I finally got to the venue seven minutes later. By then every seat in the house was seemingly filled, so I shot some of this in the adjacent hallway where part of the crowd was standing, until the cop told everyone they had to either get inside or go back to the outside.
So, I made my way to the only place available, which was along a place separated by a fence and the balcony level. No seats, but a bunch of walkers. So, the rest of this video was shot standing up there, with the occasional shot of the big screen when the inevitable person or persons trundled by, blocking my line of sight.
Not my finest video moment, so I hope you will enjoy the show. And I thank you all for watching!
