The Beatles' U.S. tour opened on August 15, 1965 with a concert scheduled in New York City at Shea Stadium, home of the New York Mets baseball team. This was the first time in the history of music that a sports stadium was used for a rock concert ! Seen by 55,600 fans, it created a new world record for a pop concert in terms of attendance and gross revenue. The Beatles' share of the $304,000 box-office takings was also a record .... $160,000.
It's "Beatles Monday", and I hope you will enjoy this YouTube video clip of the Beatles' first concert in America .....
