Honored by their country, decorated by their queen, loved here in America... here are the Beatles
Sunday on "Mad Men," "Beatlemania" struck. In "Mad Men" time, it is now August of 1965, and the Fab Four's concert at Shea Stadium is a hot ticket. More than 55,000 fans would attend. Here's an assemblage of clips from an Ed Sullivan-produced documentary about the actual concert, featuring thousands of young fans screaming their heads off like Sally Draper. The concert is considered the greatest spectacle in Shea Stadium history prior to Adam Wainwright striking out Carlos Beltran with the bases loaded and two out in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 7 of the 2006 National League Championship Series.No joke. Look for a 16-year-old Meryl Streep in the clip. She's behind the boy being interviewed at the 0:38 mark.
