McCartney Times

August is a key month in the Beatles’ history as it relates to time the Fab Four spent in Southern California. The group played its first Los Angeles concert Aug. 23, 1964, at the Hollywood Bowl, which was recorded in hopes of being released as a live album.The Beatles returned a year later for two more Hollywood Bowl shows Aug. 29 and 30, 1965, both of which also were recorded after record company executives decided the 1964 recordings overall weren’t of sufficient quality to release on their own.This weekend also brings the 50th anniversary of their performance at Dodger Stadium on Aug. 28, 1966, the next-to-last concert the quartet played before quitting live performance entirely after their show the next day, at Candlestick Park in San Francisco.All four of the L.A. shows in 1964-66 were promoted by then KRLA-AM disc jockey Bob Eubanks, who often tells of how he took a second mortgage out on a house he owned to come up with the money to bring the Beatles to L.A. the first time around.
