STADIUM, QUEENS, NEW YORK, U.S.A.
SUNDAY, 15 August 1965, 8:00 pm
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.
The group traveled by limousine from the Warwick Hotel to a waterfront heliport, flew from there over New York City to the roof of the World’s Fair building and made the final 100-yard journey into Shea Stadium in a Wells Fargo armored truck. They sprinted through a tunnel, out into a deafening wall of screams and onto the stage (positioned at second base) at 9:16pm.The opening supporting acts were in order of appearance : Brenda Holloway and the King Curtis Band, Cannibal & The Headhunters, Sounds Incorporated, and the Young Rascals.
