The Beatles did 33 takes on June 14th, picked take 10 as the best, and
in the following days, overdubbed vocals, piano (played by producer
George Martin) and banjo (Lennon), plus guitar and some orchestral
passages. Only on June 24th, the day before the broadcast, did they
decide that they would release "All You Need Is Love" as a single –
meaning that the world would be watching them cut their next record.

MAPLE LEAF GARDEN Fifty Years Of History , Hardcover, 1981, includes photos, dj IN ROUGH SHAPEj ..dj IS TAPE REPAIRED
Stan Obodiac, Director of Publicity for Maple
Leaf Gardens and the Toronto Maple Leafs, has
drawn on over twenty-three years of anecdotes
and memories to assemble a book that shines
with personalities, showmanship and just plain
fun. Remember "He shoots! He scores!" By, i93i,
Poster Hewitt's distinctive play-by-play broadcast'
of Maple Leaf games had so stirred Toronto's
hockey-crazy fans that the Leafs' old rink couldn't
hold the crawds. It was the height of the Depres-
sion, and it was estimated that a new arena would
cost $L5 million. Conn Smythe, the team's en-
terprising managing director, 'gambled that he
could find the money to build a new sports pal-
ace. He found it, construction began on May i,
I93h and the Gardens stood completed five months
later. The Leafs played their first game on Nov-
ember is and carried off their first of many Stan-
ley Cups that season.
Maple Leaf Gardens takes a fascinating look at
the ,personalities and events that have made the
Gardens Canada's most famous building. It is~
the interesting story of the building of the Gar-
dens and of the hockey greats who have played
there. It is also, in many ways, the story of pop-
ular entertainment in Canada from i93i to 98i.
,OVer ioo million people have been entertained by
ballet, opera, circuses, skating extravaganzas and
concerts of all sorts, in addition to almost every
kind of sporting event from boxing and tyres-
fling tq,. bicycle racing. The arena has also been
the site of political and religious rallies, benefits
in support of ti e war effort, community events
such as Brownie and Boy Scout pageants, and
service club fund-raisers.
This nostalgic book will remind sports fans of the
Leafs' h„~h-scoring Kid Line, of George Chuvalo
going the distance with Muhammad Ali or of
Vitas Gerulaitas defeating Bjorn Borg. Rock fans
will remember attending an Elvis P'resley con-
cert, or waiting hours in line for Beatles' tickets.
Still others will recall dancing at a Simpson's~
Teen-Town Time dance, or thrilling to a Metro-
politan Opera performance of Aida. For those
who have not been to the Gardens, it will provide
a fun-filled journey down memory lane.

The Beatles Set List
The grand finale of Candlestick Park, where Bobby Hebb and the Beatles performed to close-out the Beatles final tour!
Almost 48 years from August 29, 1966, on August 14, 2014 Paul McCartney returned to perform some of the Beatles songs he played "all those years ago."
Paul McCartney is Candlestick Park's closing act
CANDLESTICK POINT, Calif. — Sir Paul McCartney last played Candlestick Park on Aug. 29, 1966, with some guys named John, George and Ringo.
The
Beatles' last concert was at the Stick that afternoon, a tidy 11-song,
35-minute performance largely drowned by the din of screaming teenagers
and their admiring parents.
On Thursday night, it was
Candlestick's swan song with Sir Paul at the mike. For 2½ hours, he
played a mix of songs from his latest album, New, and hits from Wings and The Beatles. The set included songs such as Paperback Writer, Day Tripper and Yesterday from the Candlestick show in 1966. He even trotted out the last song of that show, a cover of Little Richard's Long Tall Sally.
San
Francisco's Candlestick Park is a perfect American landmark, grand and
flawed. It's the former home of Super Bowl champions and World Series
victors. Everyone from the Stones to Jay Z have played there. The 1989
earthquake that ravaged the Bay Area and disrupted the A's/Giants
series? The nation watched that play out at the 'Stick. The place is
ugly, decrepit,
remote, freezing—quite possibly the most logistically unfriendly
stadium in the country. For all those reasons and more, San Franciscans
love the place. Naturally, we're about to tear it down.
and on Thursday night, the city, as led by Sir Paul, marked the end of an era with the final anything
at Candlestick, before the place is literally blown to bits. McCartney
hadn't played there since the last full Beatles concert ever, back in,
oh, 1966. It's nearly impossible to make any of this sound more
momentous than it already is. But hey, let's try.
by Jim Harrington - 2 days ago - Farewell to Candlestick: Paul McCartney deliver touching goodbye to venue.
Paul McCartney wanted to savor the moment.
"This is such a cool event," he said to the 50,000 fans assembled
before him at San Francisco's Candlestick Park on Thursday. "I'm just
going to take a minute for myself just to drink it all in."
There was certainly much to absorb, most notably the undeniable
sense that we were witnessing history. For this was not just another
concert, but rather the final one to ever be performed at the equally
storied and maligned venue.
Paul
McCartney performs the final concert and public event at Candlestick
Park in San Francisco, Calif., on Thursday, Aug. 14, 2014. The park was
the home for the San Francisco Giants and 49ers and it was the last
venue for the Beatles to perform a concert together in Aug. 29, 1966.
The grand finale ...

seconds from the Beatles concert I attended on August 16, 1966 . About
10 seconds of "I Feel Fine" . To the best of my knowledge , it is the
only film in existence of this particular show. George & his White
socks was the topic of the week following the show. No One wore white
socks in the summer of 66....but George did & he flaunted them ,
making a firm statement about the perception of what cool is & being
a nonconformist.
After the concert The Beatles stayed in Cleveland. The following day they flew to Washington, DC.
Cleveland Stadium, also known as Lakefront Stadium and Cleveland
Municipal Stadium, was normally used for baseball and American football
matches. It was demolished in 1995 and the Cleveland Browns Stadium was
built on the site.
For teenagers,
the world changed when Ed Sullivan introduced The Beatles. The 1964
Beatles’ tour filled auditoriums with screams of delight, excitement,
and full-blown fan hysteria. This was the case in Cleveland, Ohio, where
police stopped the show, ordered the Beatles off the stage, and banned
them from the city. In August 1966, the group launched their final tour,
but the innocence from two years earlier was missing as controversy
over John Lennon's remarks about Christianity made safety more of a
concern than ever before. A scheduling change brought them to Cleveland
Stadium where thousands of fans crashed through police. It was obvious
The Beatles could no longer be protected. The Beatles In Cleveland
brings to life two of the wildest concerts in Beatles history. Catch the
excitement through eyewitness accounts and never-before published
photos.

Taped: Sunday 14 August 1966
Two sets to 20,000 fans. When 2,500
fans got into the arena area, the show was stopped midway through a
performance of "Day Tripper," and The Beatles retired backstage for
about 20 minutes until order was restored.

The
Beatles performed at the Cleveland Municipal Stadium on August 14,
1966. This was the last tour the B
eatles ever did and only the 2nd time
they performed in Cleveland as they were banned by the mayor of
Cleveland for their 1965 tour after the near riot that happened during
t stop in '64.
Cleveland
Municipal Stadium opened in 1931 as the home of the NFL Cleveland
Browns and MLB Cleveland Indians. In addition to sporting events the
stadium hosted a number of other events including many memorable
concerts including The Beatles in 1966 and two concerts in 1984 by The
Jacksons. It also hosted the rock festival "The World Series Of Rock"
from 1974-80 which featured many big name acts such as Pink Floyd and
The Rolling Stones. It also hosted the Inaugural Rock And Roll Hall Of
Fame Concert in September 1995. It closed it's doors in December 1995.

Oral history of Beatles at Candlestick - final night of the tour, August 29, 2014
Last month, The Big Event and the San Francisco Chronicle started searching for readers who went to the Aug. 29, 1966, The Beatles show at Candlestick Park. The concert, the last commercial show for the Beatles, is arguably the most famous musical event in Bay Area history.
More than three dozen came forward, many with heartfelt and funny
stories. Some are returning to see Paul McCartney’s Farewell to
Candlestick event this Thursday. Aidin Vaziri, editor Sue Adolphson and I put together a very cool
package in today’s Sunday Datebook about the 1966 show, filling the Pink
section with trivia, a set list, images by rock photographer Jim
Marshall and memories from several fans who were there.
Below is a longer oral history of the event with more of their words and less of mine.
Bobby Hebb's Concert Performance with The Beatles show
1)Crazy Baby (Bobby Hebb) 2)For You (Van McCoy) 3)Good Good Lovin (Mann/Weil) 4)Got My Mojo Working (Preston Foster), made famous by Muddy Waters 5)Sunny (Bobby Hebb)
After
performing a Preston Foster' song (made famous by Muddy Waters) entitled "Got My Mojo Working", Bobby
Hebb says to the crowd "Thank you very much. This is a song you made
possible..." and when Barry Tashian
and The Remains begin the opening chords there's pandemonium from the
audience on a scale equal to the response The Beatles were receiving. Of
all the opening acts on the bill, only Bobby Hebb had the timing
perfect - his song riding the top of the charts just as he's touring
with The Fab Four,
and his uptempo creation with its good-feel modulation and extended
vamp here, as superb a daylight as if The Beatles themselves were
singing “Good Day Sunshine”, the song McCartney say was inspired by
listening to The Lovin’ Spoonful’s “Daydream”. That the song has
snow-balled since garnering that applause equal to John, Paul, George
and Ringo – probably a thousand covers 44 years after its first
recordings in 1965 (vibraphonist Dave Pike in America, Mieko “Miko” Hirota in Japan…songs recorded before Jerry Ross
produced Bobby’s hit version) - indicates that Hebb could write a song
on par with John and Paul and without the Beatles machine behind it to
launch it; but a song that could benefit The Beatles tour and stand on
the same platform as “Yesterday”, “Let It Be”, “Revolution” and “Day In
The Life”.

August 13, 1966. The Beatles. Detroit's Olympia Stadium. I Was There!
Posted:
Updated:
So when my friend Gail told me that her uncle, who owned a
parking lot near Olympia Stadium, had managed to get his hands on a pair
of tickets to the Beatles sold-out show on August 13, , I was
over-the-moon thrilled. I was a serious piano student, and my parents
took me often to see the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. But the Beatles
weren't Beethoven. This, I knew, would be very different.
So what do I actually remember about that long-ago show, 47 years ago?
Live: Olympia Stadium, Detroit
The second date of The Beatles' final North American tour saw
them perform two shows, at 2pm and 7pm, before a total of 28,000 fans at
Detroit's Olympia Stadium. They had previously performed at the venue
on 6 September 1964.
The Beatles arrived in Detroit at 11am, and left by Greyhound bus
immediately after their second show. Their destination was Cleveland,
Ohio, where they arrived at 2.30am the following morning. http://www.beatlesbible.com/1966/08/13/live-olympia-stadium-detroit-2/

Stations say NO to Beatles discs
NEW YORK — The radio ban against playing Beatles’
records, which was begun last week by Tommy Charles and Doug Layton,
WAQY, Birmingham, Alabama, has spread across the country, with dozens of
stations refusing to program or play recordings by the British group.
Apple Corps, the Beatles'
business organization, and director Ron Howard are teaming up for a
documentary on the Fab Four's touring years, according to a statement
released by the principals.
Are these songs British or American?

The film will chronicle
the rise of Beatlemania, which coincided with the group's relentless
touring of England, continental Europe, North America and parts of Asia
from 1964 to 1966 -- a punishing schedule of frantic audiences,
challenging security and occasional political difficulties that
eventually prompted the group to withdraw to the studio, with small
exceptions, until its 1970 breakup.
Among the group's
trailblazing concerts were the New York Shea Stadium shows in 1965 and
1966, a performance at Tokyo's Nippon Budokan in 1966 and a show at San
Francisco's Candlestick Park in 1966 -- the group's final American
concert.

The Beatles perform two shows at the International Amphitheatre in Chicago, Illinois. This is the first stop on what will turn out to be The Beatles' final US tour. Support acts are the Remains, Bobby Hebb, the Cyrkle, and the Ronettes. Although they'd just released a new album, The Beatles didn't bother rehearsing any new songs, using the same repertoire as they'd used on their tour of West Germany, Japan, and the Philippines.

1966, The Beatles performed two shows at the International Amphitheatre in Chicago, Illinois. This was the first stop on what would turn out to be The Beatles’ final US tour. Support acts were the Remains, Bobby Hebb, Cyrkle, and the Ronettes.
1967, The Jimi Hendrix Experience appeared at The Ambassador Theatre, Washington D.C.
The Beatles' Chicago debut must have been a blur for John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr; on their first major North American tour, the quartet would travel 22,000 miles in 29 grueling days. But for their fans in that first summer of Beatlemania in America, it was a thrill they would never forget. A few hours after their 4:30 p.m. landing on this date at Midway Airport--where a crowd of 5,000 greeted them-- the Beatles performed a concert at the International Amphitheatre typical of their whirlwind visit. For $30,000, they played 34 minutes to a screaming audience that made the effortless melodies and lovelorn lyrics of the 11 songs--from "I Want to Hold Your Hand" to "Can't Buy Me Love"--virtually an afterthought. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/chi-chicagodays-beatles-story-story.html about the Chicago International Amphitheater On September 5, 1964 and August 12, 1966, The Beatles performed at the Amphitheatre.

Luckily they had an entire month at home to recuperate before heading to the States for another concert tour, starting with a show at the International Amphitheater here in Chicago on August 12th. . .for which I had acquired a ticket the minute they went on sale weeks earlier. There was no way I was going to miss seeing them again like I had back in ‘64, and that little slip of paper with second-row seats listed in black ink guaranteed me another close-up glimpse of my idols. I was even going to bring Claire with, but my mother balked at the idea. Claire was furious that my mother wouldn’t let her go to the show. But there was little I could do about that once I bought that five-dollar slip of paper; come hell or high water, I was going to see the Beatles live and in person again! http://www.beatlegirl.net/ditl/ch1.htm _______________________________________________________________________ THE BEATLES SETLIST http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/the-beatles/1966/international-amphitheater-chicago-il-6bd67e0a.html
