The Beatles Freaks

This is a clip from 1965 in Shea Stadium in New York. The Beatles must have been tired! Watch how John (on the piano) moves his elbow across the keys… The song is called I’m Down. Here’s the Wikipedia info for this event:

One of the most significant concerts in music history occurred at Shea Stadium on Sunday, August 15, 1965, when The Beatles opened their 1965 North American tour at Shea Stadium to a record audience of 55,600. The Beatles played only 12 songs that night. “Beatlemania” was at one of its highest marks at the Shea Concert. Film footage taken at the concert shows many teenagers and women crying, screaming, and even fainting. The crowd noise was such that security guards can be seen covering their ears as the The Beatles enter the field. The sound was so deafening that none of The Beatles (or anyone else) could hear anything. Nevertheless, it was the first concert to be held at a major stadium and set records for attendance and revenue generation, demonstrating that outdoor concerts on a large scale could be successful and profitable, and led the Beatles to return again to Shea for a very successful encore in August 1966. The attendance record stood for eight years until it was broken at a concert by Led Zeppelin at Tampa Stadium in 1973.

Then this is a video of a studio performance of You’re Going To Lose That Girl, taken from the movie Help! in 1965, enjoy!

This page is for all those Beatles fans and freaks out there. Fab 4 after more than 45 years are still the best!
