CD Notes:

The Beatles performed live before 55,000 screaming fans at Shea Stadium, New York on the evening of Sunday
the 15th of August, 1965. What's presented on this Video-CD Is the complete television program aired on
BBC1 on March 1, 1966. This documentary of The Beatles biggest live show also compiles the support groups
such as Brenda Holloway, the King Kurtis Band and Sounds Incorporated.

The film begins with an excerpt of the closing performance "I'm Down", then cuts to the preparations of the
Stadium for Sundays big performance, this Is overdubbed with narration from each of the Beatles. The supports
acts are up next, then follows The Beatles helicopter ride to the grounds where they are to perform to their
largest viewing audience ever. The concert musically was one of their finest from this period, although these
performances were never captured on multitrack tape, the quality Is still enjoyable some 37 years on.

Songs performed that day by The Beatles followed the same repertoire as the rest of the tour:
Twist And Shout / She's A Woman / I Feel Fine / Dizzy Miss Lizzy / Ticket To Ride / Everybody's Trying To Be
My Baby / Can't Buy Me Love / Baby's In Black / Act Naturally / A Hard days Night / Help! / I'm Down /
