Forty-five years ago, the Beatles played their one and only concert in Minnesota. It was August 21, 1965, and the Fab Four performed before screaming fans at Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington.

The Current's Jim McGuinn and the Star Tribune's Jon Bream join Midday to talk about that night, and how the Beatles changed pop music forever.
