It Was 46 Years Ago Today

The Beatles rocked Shea Stadium.
It was a typically brief Beatles concert, just 12 songs played in about 30 minutes. The Beatles used their “new” 100-volt amps, rather like using a portable hand mic to get an interview with King Kong, and throughout the deafening roar, they couldn’t hear a note any of them played (or sang).
INTERVIEWER: “Does it bother you that you can’t hear what you sing during a concert?”
JOHN LENNON: “No, we don’t mind. We’ve got the records at home.”
