The Hollywood Bowl marquee advertising the Beatles’ sold-out concert, August 1964All you have to do is look at this photo and you can hear the screams of all 18,700 people. The Beatles played the Hollywood Bowl in August 1964 to a sold-out audience who had each paid between $3 and $7 for the privilege of losing their minds. I wonder if anybody actually heard the music?

The Beatles took to the stage at 9.30pm and performed 12 songs:

  • Twist And Shout
  • You Can’t Do That
  • All My Loving
  • She Loves You
  • Things We Said Today
  • Roll Over Beethoven
  • Can’t Buy Me Love
  • If I Fell
  • I Want To Hold Your Hand
  • Boys
  • A Hard Day’s Night
  • Long Tall Sally

    I had the live cassette in the mid-’70s that I would play on my boombox through headphones as I waited for the bus in San Diego. Though it was recorded through the stage mixer, the screams were still extant. I should buy the CD for a trip down memory lane. But pretty much everything that happened in California up till the late-’70s is a treasured memory.
