The Beatles - 1965-08-19 - Houston, TX  (early) (SBD)

The Beatles 1965 #1: The 1st half of our Double Shot featuring The Beatles' 1965 US tour takes us to Houston, on August 19, 1965, 5 decades ago today. The Fab Four arrived at Houston International Airport at about 1 am thatmorning amidst the chaos of thousands of over-excited teenagers run amok. Later that day they played two identical 12 song, 35-minute shows, one at 3:00 p.m. and the other at 8:00 p.m. All seats were general admission and priced at $5. Over 10,000 fans attended each show. Like the all the concerts on this tour, the band could barely hear themselves as the sound systems of the day simply  couldn’t keep up with the power of an arena full of screaming teenagers. For those who managed to attend these concerts, it truly was a once in a lifetime experience, as they were the only shows The Beatles ever played in Houston. Download this one, the early show from Houston, then come back later today for the late show from the same day!  One note - while both concerts are soundboards, the sound quality on the late show is much better than that of the early one.
