What's Your Favorite Ever Beatles Performance? 12/11/2013 - 17:26

I was at The Beatles second concert at Shea Stadium, August 23, 1966. My 18 year old sister had purchased five concert tickets in advance for herself and four of her girl friends. At the last minute one of her girl friends had to cancel going. Since I was nearing my 14th Birthday my sister took me. Our seats were behind 3rd base side of Shea Stadium. I remember flash cameras going off constantly everywhere all over the stadium. Girls screaming, crying everywhere I looked before, during and after the concert. Crowds of people I think were mostly media, photographers, security perhaps celebrities in front of the third base dugout from what I could see. There were so many home made banners in cloth and paper held up high by people all over the stadium. I remember reading them as many banners were written on said, "I love you Paul", "I love you John" & "Happy Birthday John" to name a few. The Beatles small stage was set up where 2nd base would be in the infield. I remember Paul began singing "Yesterday" and that's all you heard! The screaming drowned out the rest of the song. I was blown away from the enormity of what was happening all over the Shea Stadium. My sister still has her ticket stubs from this concert. How's that for a first ever concert for me. One that I will never forget.
