Beatles Week: Part III -- Shiny Happy People
The Fab Four invent Death Metal at Shea Stadium in 1965.
I particularly like the gun shots in the crowd at the beginning and end.

ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteBest. Thing. Ever.

ReplyDeleteAre you an idiot? IT WAS 1965.
Uh, I was a teenage boy from New Jersey in 1965, and those girls at Shea looked fantastic.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Vicki.
