The Beatles At Shea Stadium

August 15, 1965

Along with Woodstock, The Beatle's performance at New York's Shea Stadium can be called the most famous concert event in the history of popular music. Produced by legendary promoter Sid Bernstein and introduced by the equally legendary Ed Sullivan, The Beatles played, sang, sweated and laughed for a record setting crowd of over 55,000 fans. It was the height of Beatlemania and launched the modern era of outdoor stadium shows.

There are certain events in a lifetime that will always be remembered and cherished. The Beatles at Shea Stadium is one of those moments for the lucky fans who were there. Were you one of them?? If so - then I'm sure you'll want to help us share the excitement generated during this historic concert.
