60 YEARS AGO TODAY:
8/29/66 – The Beatles perform their last live concert.
The concert takes place at Candlestick Park in San Francisco, California (although they will jam on the Apple Studio rooftop on January 30, 1969, as part of the filming for their “Get Back” / “Let It Be” movie – a “free” concert if you will, to all the passersby on the streets of London)
Having already decided that this will be their last live concert ever, John and Paul bring cameras on stage with them to take pictures between songs. No one in the audience is any wiser.
Also on 8/29, Paul Anka is the host of this week’s “Hullabaloo” on NBC, with his guests Lesley Gore, The Cyrkle and Peter and Gordon. It is a repeat of the April 11th episode where each of these stars took turns singing all of the songs nominated for year's Academy Awards Best Songs category: "You're Gonna Hear from Me'" (from "Inside Daisy Clover") - Paul Anka and Lesley Gore; "I Will Wait For You" (from "The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg") - Lesley Gore; "The Ballad Of Cat Ballou" (from "Cat Ballou") - Peter and Gordon; "The Shadow Of Your Smile" (from "The Sandpiper") - Paul Anka and "What's New Pussycat" (from "What's New Pussycat") - The Cyrkle
Also on 8/29, The Youngbloods record their classic hit, “Get Together.” It will be released the following year to little fanfare … but then explode on the charts as a Top Five single in 1969
