Reply to comment by 2ekeesWarrior in TIL that due to The Beatles retiring from live performances in 1966, some of their most iconic albums, including Sgt Pepper and the White Album, were never played live by New_Blacksmith_115
From an interview with Bob Geldof:
>“The Beatles was a case of watching females in excelsis. It's the old cliché, but you couldn't hear them for all the screaming. I remember looking down at the cinema floor and seeing these rivulets of piss in the aisles. The girls were literally pissing themselves with excitement. So what I associate most with The Beatles is the smell of girls' urine.”
and...
>John B. Lynn, son of the owner of a venue The Beatles played, told The Washington Post that the concert hall smelled like the pee of over-excited girls after the show.

Was it like that with all the budding Rock and Roll pioneers? The pop stars of the time?

Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones told a similar story. He said they wanted to keep performing in clubs, but the owners wouldn't let them because of all the piss. Mick would come out, and the piss would flow.
