If you are reading this quiz, you know who the Beatles are, right? But did you know that 57 years ago today, the Beatles played in Chicago? On Aug. 20, 1965, the Beatles played the old Comiskey Park. The fans went wild when the band, “wearing khaki army-like jackets, [raced] onto their stage atop second base,” a reporter shared.
The Beatles performed at 3 and 8 p.m. The first concert was seen by 25,000, and the second drew 37,000. Tickets for the shows went for $2.50, $4.50 and $5.50. A promotion run by the soft drink 7UP also offered purchasers the chance to win a pair of tickets, with 2,000 available.
