THE BEATLES, SHEA STADIUM (1965)
Shea Stadium was the opening date on The Beatles' 11-city tour. It was also the first time a musical act played a stadium. The Fab Four were brought to the gig inside a Wells Fargo armored truck. Only problem? No one could hear, especially the band.
Over 55,000 fans attended and were placed so far away from the stage that the screaming drowned out the music. The experience would swear the band off live performance. They'd play their last paying live gig at Candlestick Park a year later.

On Bitter Celebrity Custody Battles...ddfstop said "Children always suffer when their adults start acting like "children!" Tax Evation?? That woman is a fine role model for her daughter ... not! She should never be allowed to have any custody of their daughter because the daughter will only get bounced back to Jesse and Sandra the next time she decides to mess with the IRS. Even a genius will testify that that is not very smart ... forget being a genious. It ain't nice ta mess wit da IRS!!'Nuff said!"
