If you wish (as I delete some and changed the format), you will find it here. When the Beatles first came to the U.

In 1964, primarily to appear on the. In New York on February 9th, 1964, they also performed two live concerts. The first of these concerts and their first ever in the U.

Was performed in Washington, D. At the Washington Coliseum on February 11th. It held a capacity crowd of about 7,000 people.

Although the building still stands today near Washingtons Union Station, it is now used as an indoor parking garage. However, it is a protected property by the D. Historic Preservation Review Board, and is slated for redevelopment. In the 1960s it hosted a variety of music acts and concerts, of which the Beatles February 11th, 1964 concert was one. The Beatles also made another live concert appearance during their February 1964 U.

Visit at New York Citys Carnegie Hall on February 12th. In New York there were two shows, but in Washington, only one. Performance was filmed in black and white video by CBS with the permission of the Beatles then manager, Brian Epstein.

This filmed version of the live D. Performance was then packaged into a closed-circuit offering by a private company to be aired several weeks later at selected theaters across the U.

More detail on this follows below. But first, the Washington performance. The February 11th, 1964 concert at the Washington Coliseum, located at 3rd and M Streets N.

Occurred during a cold and snowy night. It was the Beatles first live American performance after their televised appearance on the CBS. They had arrived in D.

Earlier that day by train from New York. Before their show that evening, they also appeared at a brief press conference.

Before the Beatles came on, there were three other opening acts. Although three groups were advertised as the opening acts for the Beatles at the concert including the girl group, The Chiffons, and also Tommy Roe and The Caravelles an East Coast snow storm prevented The Chiffons and Tommy Roe from getting to Washington. Instead, replacement acts were found, and appearing that night as the opening acts were: Jay & The Americans, The Righteous Brothers, and The Caravelles. These acts were quite good, according to some in attendance that evening.

But when the Beatles came on, the place erupted with screaming and incessant flash bulbs. They played for nearly an hour.

Because of the set up in the Coliseum, the Beatles were essentially performing on a boxing ring-type stage, and had to move their equipment around on stage a few times in order to give everyone in the audience a chance to see them. Ringo was seen moving his drum set around on stage between sets. However, about a month later, in mid-March 1964, the CBS filming of the Beatles live D. Show together with separate footage of performances by the Beach Boys and Lesley Gore was shown in selected U. Movie theaters as a closed-circuit concert. Billed in advertising as The Beatles: Direct From Their First American Concert the complete 90-minute film was transmitted over telephone lines to selected U. And Canadian theaters in four separate shows two each day over the weekend of March 14th and 15th, 1964.

The first round of closed-circuit concerts occurred on Saturday, March 14, 1964, and among the receiving theater locations that day, for example, were: the Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; the Hippodrome Theater in Cleveland, Ohio; the El Monte Legion Stadium in El Monte, California; the Public Auditorium in Portland, Oregon; the Village Theater in Westwood, California; and many others. The following day, on Sunday, March 15, 1964, the show went out again to a number of locations, including: the Norva Theater in Norfolk, Virginia; Lake Theater in Oak Park, Illinois; Fox Theater in San Jose, California; and also back in Washington, D. In Albany, New York that weekend, there were three showings at the Palace Theater. In Indianapolis, Indiana, the Lyric Theater received the show on March 14th and March 15th, as did a big screen theater at the State Fair Coliseum in Dallas, Texas. The total audience for the special closed-circuit broad- casts of the Beatles concert film was expected to exceed 500,000.

The shows were seen in more than 100 theaters in the U. The promoters identified in advertising as the National General Corporation, or their subisidiary, Theater Color Vision made millions.

This Beatles concert showing was apprarently the first use of closed-circuit broadcasting for a rock concert, as previously this closed-circuit theater network had been used only for championship boxing matches.
