Last night we joined 4,000 fans at the old Washington Coliseum to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Beatles’ first concert in North America.
At exactly 8:31pm, Beatlemania Now played the same set the Beatles played on Feb. 11, 1964, with Twist and Shout, Love Me Do, and I Want to Hold Your Hand.
We snapped Vornado’s Bruce Pascal and his wife Amy dancing along to the great oldies.
At a pre-concert reception, Douglas Jamal and his son Norman, who sponsored the evening to benefit the DC Preservation League, bookend Capital Adventure’s Ellie McMullen and starchitect Shalom Baranes.
Perseus real estate president Bob Cohen, his wife J. P. Morgan’s Rose Cohen, Boston Properties’ Ray Ritchey, and Office Movers CEO John Kane.
Kane Construction CEO Dennis Kane, Denise Murphy and her husband Eagle Bank retail banking president Tom Murphy, and Eagle Bank CEO Ron Paul. On the walls: great old photos of the Beatles.
