Today's music is from 50 years ago today when the Beatles played their first concert in the United States.  It was at the Collesium in Washington, D.C.  Tickets sold for $2, $3 and $4 apiece.  On this song, John, Paul and George harmonized together sharing one microphone.  The stage was in the middle of a basketball arena and several times during the show, Ringo's drum kit and the microphones were rotated so the band would be facing a different part of the audience.
