On This Day in 1966...
Did You Know?

The Beatles performed at Dodger Stadium in L-A. The crowd of 45-thousand made it the biggest show on their final U-S tour-as well as one of the most frenzied. Police had to fight off fans, who climbed over barricades and jumped on the limo that was supposed to take The Beatles away from the show. Instead, The Fab Four left in an armored car from the opposite end of the stadium.
