On this day in 1965 The Beatles played to a record 55,000 fans at Shea Stadium in New York. Beatlemania was at it’s height and the concert set a new precedence for large scale performance. The volume of the screaming women and girls was so intense that the sound of the fab four was barely audible – the amount of amplification needed to rise above the hysteria wildly underestimated. Even so, it would have been pretty amazing to witness!
Would I be able to purchase a copy of the photo of the Beatles, on stage, at Shea Stadium…the one with the hanging sign (We love you Beatles) ???
Hello Karen, I found this image on the internet and as such I don’t have a high resolution image. Here is the page it comes from: http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/mets/galleries/beatles_punch_ticket_to_ride_for_shea_stadium_rock/beatles_punch_ticket_to_ride_for_shea_stadium_rock.html
I hope this might help you in your search! Thanks for looking at my blog, Katie
