From the Beatles to Billy

On August 15, 1965 newly built Shea Stadium hosted it's first concert (really the first concert ever held at a major outdoor stadium in the U.S.), and it was the first Beatles concert in the U.S.
That moment started British Beatle Mania in the U.S. and the ensuing British invasion.
An iconic moment in American Pop Culture



43 years later Shea Stadium will close. But not before one final concert. Billy Joel will play the "Last Play at Shea" on July 16, 2008.
