This week’s episode takes a deep dive into The Beatles by Jim Marshall – Candlestick Park Live, the newly released book showcasing a remarkable collection of never‑before‑seen photos from The Beatles’ final ticketed concert at Candlestick Park in San Francisco on August 29, 1966. The book also includes a rich archive of images from the band’s 1965 Cow Palace performance, offering an intimate look at two historic moments in Beatles history.
We’re joined by Amanda Davis, former assistant to legendary rock photographer Jim Marshall, along with veteran music journalist Joel Selvin, who contributed an in‑depth essay exploring the cultural impact and behind‑the‑scenes story of the 1966 show.
If you usually listen just to the audio version, this is a great week to check out our YouTube video edition, which features some of Marshall’s iconic photos and a selection of the previously unseen photographs that are included in the book.
Thanks for listening and supporting us. We appreciate you!
