DESCRIPTION (ACTUAL SCANS) THE BEATLES DIDN'T PERFORM A SINGLE SONG FROM THEIR LATEST LP "REVOLVER" AT ANY TIME DURING THEIR 1966 TOUR. IT WAS ALMOST AS IF TWO ENTIRELY SEPARATE PERSONALITIES HAD EVOLVED - THE BEATLES AS RECORDING ARTISTS AND THE BEATLES AS CONCERT PERFORMERS. HYSTERICAL FANS SCREAMED AND SOBBED AND DEMANDED 'SHE LOVES YOU, YEAH YEAH YEAH", WHICH TO THE BEATLES IN 1966 WAS A LITTLE MORE THAN A CHILDREN'S NURSERY RHYME. FOR THEM, NOW WAS THE TIME FOR "ELEANOR RIGBY", "TAXMAN" AND "TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS". AMID THE NEVER-ENDING BEATLEMANIA, THE BEATLES CAME TO AUGUST 29, 1966 AND THEIR LAST SHOW. ON A BRACING SAN FRANCISCO NIGHT, THE WIND WHIPPING IN OFF THE PACIFIC, THE BEATLES STOOD AT SECOND BASE IN THE AIRY OPEN SPACES OF CANDLESTICK PARK, ON A STAGE ELEVATED FIVE FOOT ABOVE THE GROUND. THEY WERE FULLY ENCASED BY A SIX FOOT HIGH WIRE FENCE, AROUND WHICH GATHERED PRIVATE AND CITY POLICEMEN. AN ARMORED TRUCK STOOD BY, ITS ENGINE RUNNING. THE GROUP PLAYED FROM 9:27 PM UNTIL PRECISELY 10:00 PM WHEN, AFTER CLOSING WITH "LONG TALL SALLY", THEY STEPPED OFF THE STAGE FOR EVER. AFTER NINE YEARS AND MORE THAN 1,400 LIVE PERFORMANCES - THE BEATLES HAD GIVEN THEIR FINAL SHOW. PRESENTED HERE IS A FULL, UNUSED, NEAR MINT TICKET TO THAT MOST FAMOUS BEATLES CONCERT. THIS VARIATION IS TRULY ONE OF THE RAREST OF ALL SEATING LOCATIONS TO ACQUIRE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS NEAR MINT, FULL UNUSED STATE. THIS ULTRA-SCARCE VARIATION "ALL WHITE" BLEACHERS ADMISSION HAS NOT SURFACED IN MANY YEARS AND IS OUR VERY FIRST TO OFFER. THIS PARTICULAR TICKET HAS SEAT "969" STAMPED IN RED. IN EVERY ASPECT, IT IS IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE NEAR MINT CONDITION. THE SMALL BLACK SPOTS EVIDENT ON THE BACK OF THE TICKET ARE SIMPLY THE DEEP INK IMPRESSIONS FROM THE PRINTED SIDE. THE HUGE TICKET MEASURES 5¾" X 2½" AND IS THE ULTIMATE TICKET FOR THIS TRULY HISTORICAL FINAL VENUE. |
