The Beatles

On August 18, 1965, during their third stop of the North American Tour, The Beatles performed at Fulton County Stadium in Atlanta. Leading up to this performance, The Beatles had released the iconic album "Help!" in August 1965, which featured hit songs like "Ticket to Ride" and the title track "Help!" Just a few months later, in December 1965, they would release the groundbreaking album "Rubber Soul." This live concert showcased The Beatles at the height of their popularity, following their monumental appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show" earlier that year, which had firmly established them in the American music scene. The Atlanta concert was notable not just for the performance, but also for the crowd's exuberant reception, which was characteristic of their concerts at that time, setting a precedent for rock and pop performances.
