Hello Friends,

Please join me for a fantastic event at the de Young Museum in San Francisco on July 5. This is the Paul McCartney Photo exhibit then lunch in the cafe afterwards. There is a docent led tour at 12:30. I'm happy to drive 3 people. Others may also form a carpool. Let me know if you need any more details. Tickets are $35, paid in advance. (I'm ordering a 12pm start time for myself to be there for the tour)

About the exhibition:

This exhibition is on view at the de Young, located at 50 Hagiwara Tea Garden Drive

Nearly 60 years after The Beatles performed their final concert at Candlestick Park, Beatlemania is back in the Bay. Featuring more than 250 personal photographs by Paul McCartney, along with video clips and archival materials, this exhibition offers a behind-the-scenes look at the meteoric rise of the world’s most celebrated band. The images capture the period from December 1963 through February 1964 and the band’s journey to superstardom, from local venues in Liverpool to The Ed Sullivan Show and worldwide acclaim. Photographs of screaming crowds and paparazzi show the sheer magnitude of the group’s fame and the cultural change they represented. More intimate images of the band on their days off highlight the humor and individuality of McCartney and bandmates John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Rediscovered in the artist’s personal archive in 2020, these images offer new perspectives on the band, their fans, and the early 1960s, as seen through the eyes of Paul McCartney.

Please let me know if you would like a spot in my carpool.

I look forward to connecting with you for this highly rated exhibit.

Best,

Shannon
