The first full concert staged by The Beatles in the U.S. will be screened in movie theaters next month.
As reported by Deadline Hollywood, The Beatles: The Lost Concert
will be shown in select venues on May 17 and May 22. In addition, a
special premiere, with two showings, will take place on May 6 at the
historic Ziegfield Theater in Manhattan.
The concert, which lasted just over a half-hour, took place at the
Washington Coliseum in Washington, D.C. The Beatles performed a 12-song
set for an audience of 8,092.
The show was filmed by an eight-man camera
crew and broadcast a month later via closed-circuit to movie theaters
across America.
The new presentation will be preceded by a 92-minute documentary
charting the rise of Beatlemania. Among those offering commentary in the
documentary are Chuck Berry and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Joe Perry.
