Five places to meet Beatles history

The tour goes past Elvis Presley's home in Bel-Air where the Fab Four met the King; cruises Blue Jay Way in the Hollywood Hills, where George Harrison lived; stops at other Beatles-related sites in Brentwood, Pacific Palisades and Beverly Hills; and ends in Hollywood at the Beatles' four individual stars on the Walk of Fame near the Capitol Records Tower. Walk past the Abbey Road Bar with a black and white striped floor representing the zebra crossing ("crosswalk" in American) on the cover of the "Abbey Road" LP and continue past a wall listing song titles by the Fab Four. The cafe hosts a Beatles sing-along with live music by the B2s (ages 16 to 65) focused on a theme like piano tunes or psychedelic songs.
