Update: I originally posted the above photo with the title "The Beatles at Shea Stadium" in February of 2009. Of all the thousands of people who have viewed it, it wasn't until this morning that one of this blog's anonymous commenters asked "didn't they wear lighter colored jackets at Shea?"
A quick search of Beatles+Shea confirmed his/her sartorial memory. So this isn't from the Shea concert. This morning I conducted a TinEye reverse image search, found a couple dozen hits, and traced the original source to Stevey.com, where this information was provided re the original source:
It was taken by Michel Le Tac and publiched in french weekly Paris match end of june 1965. It was taken on the 20th of june when they played at the palais des sports in Paris. I saved the photo from the mag and have kept it all those years...
Very intersting and informative view.
ReplyDeleteLook at all that spaghetti---fire the stage-tech!
ReplyDeletedidn't they wear lighter colored jackets at Shea?
ReplyDeleteI did a quick image search, and you're right !!
ReplyDeleteSo I had to search again, this time with TinEye to find a better original source. Finally found it, and updated the text (and the title).
Many thanks.

I really don’t understand how they were able to deliver that concert, because I have reviewed several pictures and the film, and I don’t think the amount of speakers used would deliver any sound to the upper levels of the stadium considering all the crowd and the technology used in that time, also I can see any cables from the "stage" to any other source of sound. Does anyone know or went to that concert?
