On August 15, 1965, the Beatles played Shea Stadium in New York City for 55,600 fans and changed what a concert could be. It was the first major outdoor stadium rock show, generating a record $304,000 gross, with tickets ranging from $4.50 to $5.75 that sold out in under three weeks. The screaming was so overwhelming the band couldn’t hear themselves play, and none of it mattered because what was happening in that stadium had never happened before. DRMPLX has now given that moment a full 4K remaster, presenting a triple play mix of “Twist & Shout,” “Baby’s In Black,” and “I’m Down” with audio remixed and restored, and the result has already drawn over six million views. Watching it now, the scale of what the Beatles had become by the summer of 1965 is genuinely staggering.
