Pressetext:
The BEATLES’ performance at New York’s Shea Stadium on August 15, 1965 is one of the most exciting and important concert events in the history of popular music. Produced by Sid Bernstein and introduced on stage by television legend ED SULLIVAN, JOHN, PAUL, GEORGE and RINGO played, sang, sweated and laughed for a record crowd of 55,600 fans. It was the height of Beatlemania and launched the modern era of outdoor stadium shows.
THE BEATLES AT SHEA STADIUM tells the story of this concert through researched commentary and exclusive interviews with BEATLES insiders, friends and fans. The story begins in 1963 with BERNSTEIN scheduling the then-unknown group for two concerts at Carnegie Hall and the first wave of U.S. Beatlemania. Follow events leading up to the concert as the BEATLES arrive in New York, tape THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW and attend a never-before revealed dinner at Rockefeller Center. Then go backstage as they nervously prepare to face their largest live audience. The concert and excitement surrounding their performance are described in detail based on unedited live recordings and eyewitness accounts, and gives new insights into making the television special, secret recording session to overdub the live audio for network broadcast, and subsequent restoration of the classic film. Book includes rare photos, memorabilia, and never-before published correspondence, documents and production notes.
The Rock and Roll Chemist: “A fascinating book that chronicles the entire life cycle of this legendary show, from its inception to its execution and aftermath.”
Queens Gazette: “The first and probably the definitive account of the BEATLES’ most famous and memorable concert.”
Something Else! Reviews: “In short, the book reveals everything one would want to know about the historic concert, from the weather to the songs to the sound system and marketing. THE BEATLES AT SHEA STADIUM – THE STORY BEHIND THEIR GREATEST CONCERT makes a welcome addition to any BEATLE fan’s library.”
 
Beatles Museum: Wer in die Details der BEATLES-Geschichte eintauchen will, sollte dieses Buch lesen – und um eine Mende interessanter Details zu erfahren, von der ersten Planungen bereits im Jahr 1963 (!), vom Konzert (15. August 1965) und der später erstellte TV-Dokumentation (März 1966 in England, Januar 1967 in USA). Auch über die Aufbereitung des Filmmaterials in den später 1980er Jahren wird informiert.
