Last Friday, June 29, marked the 59th anniversary of when The Beatles played their last live concert in Candlestick Park in San Francisco.
Back then no one knew that this was their last concert, but aside from an impromptu show on the roof of their Apple Corps headquarters, they would never play another live concert together in front of an audience again.
In honor of this fab anniversary we’ve got six links to online articles about this final Fabulous Four concert and then there’s the MBIP Coming Attractions as to what’s happening on the blog next week. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
