  In 1964 the Beatles played at the Garden and stayed believe it or not at
the Hotel Madison. Suffolk was 1966 (I went to that one) and remember it
well. Bruce Bradley and Arnie Ginsburg were co-mcs and the opening acts
included Bobby Hebb (Sunny), the group that sang Red Rubber Ball
(Circle?), and a female group that I think was the Ronettes. (well, it was
31 years ago) Face value of ticket was $8

   I actually won the tickets from a semi local radio station.......WPTR
in ALBANY. Those were the days......
