I was there.
An overwhelming crowd of 60,000 screaming Beatles fans packed the stadium for the first major outdoor stadium concert on August 15, 1965. The Beatles were followed by other rock and roll legends including the Rolling Stones, The Who, The Police, Simon & Garfunkel, Elton John and Eric Clapton. Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix also made a little known appearance at Shea for the 1970 Summer Festival for Peace.

I thought the Beatles played At Shea Stadium not Yankee Stadium. Anyone? I didn't get to see them in concert but would have loved to.

I did the trivia before having my morning cappuccino - I should have waited till I was more awake. I guess I wouldn't be getting my 6 points today. At least I did get to see the Beatles even though it's a very faint memory.
