That statement must sums up how you feel about old-school Beatle fans, and yes, I believe it was the White Album that was the being of the "waning" period of Beatlemania. First of all, if you knew anything about the history behind that album, it was Lennons conscious decision to change direction from pysch-pop, the uniforms and the hoopla in general. They got down-right scruffy, grew long beards and radical changed their style. The record got very mixed reviews, and all those Sgt Pepper/Magical Mystery fans were deeply troubled and disappointed. Frankly, they didn't get it. Even George Martin stated the album would have been better boiled down to one LP. Your comment about concert performance is trival in comparason to the release and impact of the White Album.
