55,000 Screaming Fans Can't Be Wrong!

55,000 Screaming Fans Can't Be Wrong!

60 years ago, The Beatles played the biggest concert of their career. When on 15th August 1965 they played to over 55,000 fans at New York’s Shea Stadium.

Only 2 years ago they had waved goodbye to the Cavern, the famous Liverpool city centre venue. Where playing to a few hundred fans at lunchtimes and evenings, they had grown the seeds of Beatlemania, before becoming the global phenomenon they still are today.

The concert at Shea was not only the pinnacle of the groups live career. It was also the moment when touring by major artists stepped away from theatres and became the stadium events we still have today.

In this episode we look at why this concert was so important and what audio-visual material of this ground breaking show has survived.
