Six original vintage concert photos of the Beatles in concert, five 5 x 7 and one 7 x 5, developed from the original negatives. In fine condition. The kick-off date of The Beatles first, full-fledged concert tour of North America in the summer of 1964 is documented by these six photos taken at San Francisco’s Cow Palace on August 19, 1964. Six months after the group’s historic appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show the previous February, Beatlemania was in full-swing stateside as the month-long jaunt through the USA and Canada set attendance records in many of the venues along the 20-city tour route. Within the first few seconds of the first song, ‘Twist and Shout,’ a radio journalist was trampled and a young girl’s leg was broken as some of the 17,300 fans rushed the stage; the sold-out concert was held up for five minutes to restore order. And thanks to an offhand comment by George Harrison about the group’s affinity for jelly beans, The Beatles were pelted with flying jelly beans throughout their 33-minute, 12-song set. The band left the Cow Palace by a decoy ambulance, their limousine immovable as it was swarmed by rabid fans! It was a scene that would become familiar as they crisscrossed North America in the summer of 1964. Developed from the original negatives, each photograph comes with PSA/DNA LOA stating that the photographs are first generation, developed from the original negatives within approximately two years of when the pictures were taken.
