Hi everybody.
I recently went to the house of one of my students, who happens to be a rabid Beatles fan, and found in her bedroom a poster I used to own in my teenage years and brought so many fond memories. The thing is, I can't believe that I can't find that picture on Google. It was a very common poster 30 years ago. It's a color picture which seems to be from the "Help!" era (just speculating, based on how they look). They are on stage, playing their instruments, but it doesn't seem to be a gig. While Sir Paul is wearing a black coat and tie, George looks very informal with his blue jeans and jacket. John has his head leaning to his left side while smiling. Ringo is not that visible, but you can see him smiling behind his kit. Paul and George aren't smiling.
I'd really appreciate it if someone can point me to that image. Again, I can't believe I can't find it on Google. Thank you in advance! |

Google just introduced a new way of searching for images, using image recognition. So a picture of the poster might show up the original version.

BTW, can anybody confirm if I'm right (or not) in my assumption about the time in which that pic was taken (around 1965)? |

George is playing his Gretsch Tennessean, which replaced a Gretsch Country Gent that was destroyed in December 1964. Lennon stopped playing the Rickenbacker when he received his Epiphone Casino in early 1966. |

Here are the posters and images that were more common in the U.S. AllPosters.com - The World's Largest Poster and Print Store!

He, he... it took longer than expected, but I saw it coming  . Well, she has her amp in her big bedroom. Aside from playing bass, nothing else happened there. |
