Summary

On August 20, 1965, the Beatles hit Chicago like a massive tidal wave when John, Paul, George and Ringo played two shows at Comiskey Park. Chuck Garfien takes a special look back at these historic concerts. He first speaks with Dell Kennedy who was one of the many thousands of screaming Beatles fans in the crowd that day. Then, he talks with Larry Kane, the only broadcast journalist who traveled with the Beatles on every stop of their 1964 and 1965 tours. You'll hear the interview he did with John Lennon in the White Sox clubhouse and countless stories about being inside the Beatles cocoon at the height of their fame.
