It's the summer of 1965, and The Beatles are conquering North America...again! With a number one movie, a number one single and a number one album on all the charts, John, Paul, George and Ringo's popularity showed no signs of decay more than a year into their planetary super-stardom, and on their return to America in August they continued to dominate. This week we take a closer look at the biggest concert tour the group would ever embark on -- beginning with the very first arena rock concert EVER, The Beatles at SHEA STADIUM! Also in this episode, the fabs fly to California and meet their inspiration, Elvis Presley, in the flesh! It wasn't a warm and fuzzy reception between rock royalty at first, but once the ice was broken, this meeting would go down as a quintessential moment for the band. Ringo even played football with Elvis!
