I was there too!!!! As soon as The Beatles walked out on the field I could not believe my eyes... it was to die for!!!! I had the best time of my life. I also saw The Beatles once again when they played at the Chicago Amphitheater. Wouldn't have missed it for the world!!!!! I have lots of good memories from all this which I'll never ever forget. Four young lads that shook the world and brought a lot of joy to all of us!!!! Long Live The Beatles!!!!!!🎶💞🎶💞 Peace and Love✌💝

Great. What a time it must of been and how old were you.

[@deankastran1556]

I was there with my Dad. He got tickets because the company that he worked for in Mansfield, Ohio was owned by the same company that owned the White Sox. It was an unbelievable experience to see The Beatles, and in retrospect it was priceless to have experienced it with my Dad.

[@1964rocks]

They played loud and sounded great!!!

[@henrym6411]

jimmy mindell They had no choice!😂 The screaming girls were too much!

[@hisoverlorduponhigh90]

I remember going to baseball games here , thinking about The Beatles playing right there. It was magical. I still love The Beatles.

[@bubblydessertladypam2028]

I was there - NON STOP SCREAMING for almost 2 hours! - Even BEFORE they came out. For the record, I DID NOT Scream - I was 15 - but I'll NEVER forget it. The screaming was UNREAL - cuz it never stopped - you could NOT hear them - like you can hear on this tape.

[@Turboy65]

They could have turned off their amps and it would have hardly made a difference. What was it with all these girls screaming and drowning out the very band they supposedly came to hear? I'm struck by the small size and simplicity of the stage. Compare it to the BUILDING that Rammstein's current tour brings along with them, which takes six days to set up by teams of trained professionals.

[@stevenelief8700]

Còuld your hear any of the PA system music being played?

[@meola53]

I was in this audience! Wow, what a thrill!

[@diannezak9899]

me too

[@georgelamore2140]

as claimed 1 million other kids..do you have your ticket stub?

[@meola53]

No! Never thought to keep it back then. I just have the memory.😊

[@63supercobrajet]

I was 7 years old then and I begged my parents to take me that concert, but they didn't want any of that rock-n-roll rubbish for me. :)

[@pamsee9548]

Was there in the left field bleachers. I was 12! My mom, her friend, Shirley and 3 pre-teens!!! Crazy! You could hardly hear the music! So much screaming!

[@RandyR]

Am blown away that after all these years, still run across all these rarities. Far Out. Been a fan since May 63.

[@elizabethpayne8311]

Great Stuff. Great quality and interesting view points from the different footage. A whole 6 minutes of The Beatles just in Chicago in 1965, great and wonderful. Only chicago and not just a little footage from here or there to make it one whole song.

[@rdahlen1]

I was there and it was great.

[@dannydine5263]

The ball park is now sadly gone.Tore down for another park with more seating but there was something cool about comiskey.For one thing the Beatles played there.I knew someone who seen the show.Said he couldn't hear a thing except the screams.

[@johnhamilton5290]

+Danny Dine ~ I only went there once, though I was born on the south side. I think when I went there it was the last year before being torn down. Carlton Fisk hit a home run near me, and an outfielder named Ivan Calderon made a great catch in the outfield. Worthy of mention is that unlike today, to get tickets to see the Beatles was near-impossible. There was no Ticketmaser, so likely almost everyone at their U.S. shows lived in the cities where they played. Looking back on it, it is great that girls went to such great efforts to see them. I'm sure it changed their lives in ways that are still being felt. That was almost 51 years ago, so the ones that are still around would be in their mid-60s, some older, some younger.

[@dannydine5263]

+John Hamilton Wow i never knew that about all tickets being bought at the box office.That means everything back in the day was a local event no matter how big it was.

[@roberthill1166]

Old Comiskey was bigger than whatever the new park is called. It was a great old place and when it was closed was the oldest park in baseball, pre-dating Wrigley and Fenway.

[@nycsongman9758]

Sheesh. From the claustophobic Cavern Club to the cavernous Comiskey Park, and beyond. Few could've held themselves together much better during such an insane rocket ride.

[@bobbyd1019]

For those of you who don't know, The Beatles performed two shows this day at Comiskey Park!...This was the afternoon show!....So don't get fooled by all the empty seats!...

[@anothercrazyguru66]

an a little part of evening footage could be find in the "Rock and Roll Music" video from the early 80s "Complete Beatles" documentary 😹 ✌👌

[@KRW628]

Bobby, I was at the evening show. Both shows had empty seats. Unlike Shea Stadium (which sold all of the seats in the park), in Chicago, they only sold seats from 3rd base (where I was), thru first base. Half the park was empty. They didn't have the monster sound systems they have today. You couldn't heard anything; just some of the bass coming thru, so you know what they were playing. It was incredible.

[@susancollender6478]

BobbyD Did they open up the seats behind the stage for the evening show? Because I went to the afternoon one, and they did not. This was before the days when you paid hundreds of bucks to watch someone on a tv screen, or see them from the back. I was lucky-especially compared to the show I attended in Cincinnati the year before...They did feed the music through those little rinkydink baseball speakers, and we were sitting under one

[@gloriaculp2145]

Yep I was at both that day, so awesome.💗

[@goofi24]

I was there. Biggest and greatest thing that ever happened to me when I was a teenager.

[@SiebenbuergerSxn]

My buddies and friends were there, including my stepmother, the only person old enough to have a driver’s license and could bring us! The opening acts were interminable, but all hell broke loose when the final set change at last revealed the iconic “The Beatles” on the bass drum, as the Beatles themselves soon walked out from the third base dugout to complete pandemonium in the stands. The screaming never stopped, only subsiding occasionally for a few moments when my buddies and I could hear a few notes and recognize what song they must be playing and which we couldn’t otherwise hear. It was not a concert-it was a religious experience for tens of thousands of girls who were probably hoarse for two days afterwards! But it was a real treat to see the Beatles in person, for my buddies and me who, like millions of other teens, had a garage band to follow in the Beatles’ footsteps.

[@silvertwin7]

This video is so great, so rare to see amateur's footage of Beatles show

[@SamHarrisonMusic]

She's a woman vocal - incredible!

[@jorgecisternas4072]

Inolvidable epoca los años sesenta con the beatles

[@byronshankles1870]

Love to hear the old

[@robertmasina4610]

How the girls overwhelming outnumber the boys in the audience.

[@joseroberto6362]

imaginem eles com a tecnologia de hoje, lembro que nos bailinhos de garagem eles eram tocados em vinil, em uma sonata onde o alto falante era a pro prós,tampa do aparelho. como é bom relembrar.

[@jorma7874]

So audio is really real!

[@fdwight]

I was there.

[@RikiNewtonMusicianSongwriter]

How did Ringo keep time ??? He couldn't have heard a single note sat up there at the back with all that crowd noise !!?? Poor Ring !! Although I'm sure the screaming helped keep the adrenalin-a-pumping (along with the 'Purple Hearts')... which in turn - probably helped him keep superb timing - well, there ya go !! There were no losers at a Beatle Show - only winners.. Winners galore !! Hey Ho & Happy Days !! Peace !! Rxx

[@TheJStamey]

+Riki Newton In an late-90s interview he said "I watched John's ass." Because of the way Lennon bounced up and down Ringo was able to keep time.

[@RikiNewtonMusicianSongwriter]

I know - ha ha !! Classic Ringo comment. Bless him. Thanks for your reply btw.. Rx

[@jimringomartin]

Why the hell didn't my family go to at least one of the 2 concerts living in Lisle, Illinois??? It was not close to a sell out.

[@63supercobrajet]

Lennon and his (Russian) working class hero cap, luv it.

[@Badday1normal]

Take a look at 4:16. Paul McCartney almost cut off the head of the host!

[@genericgeorge]

Sonny Liston fought and beat Floyd Patterson for the heavyweight championship 3 years earlier at this very venue

[@themoviebuff1425]

Where’s the audio from?

[@drumindaddy]

ABC television’s footage and audio. Pretty good considering.

[@ivangutierrez7815]

4:40😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@alfx5432]

What hotel did they stay at.

[@hernanpatricioorellanaalar3473]

Sure it was on 1965? I think it was on 1964... please let me know. Thanks!

[@gloriaculp2145]

65, they played at the Amphitheatre in 64...

[@JuanLopez-ef5pr]

Ah...look at all the lucky people....

[@johnschnupp7092]

This music is not from the Chicago concert

[@jimanders6666]

why film the audience ??????

[@derekgee]

NONE of this is HD footage! It's all standard def footage that's been cropped and re-output at 720p. Nice job joker.

[@derekgee]

Nico Panico I EXPECTED you to upload it at the correct aspect ratio doofus and at standard-def if that what your source footage was. Try again.

[@derekgee]

Nico Panico Dude, the image is all stretched out because you edited/uploaded at 16:9 when it's 3:4 aspect ratio. You clearly have NO flippin' idea what you're doing. Incidently, it doesn't matter if it's from 1965 - it was shot on 16mm film which can easily be scanned at up to 4K resolution. Next time just don't bother if you don't know what you're doing.

[@derekgee]

Nico Panico My apologies if you aren't the guy behind Rare Beatles, Inc. who uploaded this. It's garbage. I'm not sure how my reply got attached to your name with just a general reply.

[@rstvmo]

derekgee DrekG, why don't you fucking fix it, then - or are you menstruating today? Why the arrogant attack? Please drive through.

[@derekgee]

Robert Moore Need the source files to fix without adding artifacts to the image. Plus, it's not my job to fix other dimwits' mistakes. I'm angry because this joker posts this shit in the Beatles forum on FB and it looks like garbage. Do it right or don't do it at all.

[@vgr112261]

Those crazy girls are why the lads stopped touring.

[@ladymarjorie3777]

I was there and walked out. So disappointed. I could not see them, nor hear them. Why was everyone screaming? I don't understand. So much shrieking and screaming, my eardrums popped. I had to leave for some relief.

[@bobdavis2128]

Big deal I thought I was going to see the Beatles and all I saw was a bunch of screaming girls.
