BEATLES AT CANDLESTICK



CANDLESTICK PARK, 47 YEARS AGO





My brother and I were at the last official public appearance of the Beatles 47 years ago in San Francisco on a chilly night at Candlestick Park.  I distinctly remember John Lennon remarking on how cold it was.  The screaming of the 25,000 fans mad it difficult to hear the lads, and apparently for them to hear themselves.


This was our view, more or less.




"There was a big talk at Candlestick Park that this had got to end. At that San Francisco gig it seemed that this could possibly be the last time, but I never felt 100% certain till we got back to London. John wanted to give up more than the others. He said that he'd had enough".--Ringo Starr















Here's a recording of  Day Tripper from the concert.
