WEWS continues to mine their video vaults and put choice cuts on the interwebs for our enjoyment.

This time it’s a video of the Beatles in Cleveland in 1964 during their first U.S. concert tour.


The Beatles were on their first U.S. concert tour, which lasted one month. Cleveland was one of their last stops.

WHK radio brought the Beatles to Cleveland as the banner behind them obviously shows. The disc jockeys for WHK stood behind the Beatles during a photo-op and were known as “The WHK Good Guys”.

Enjoy.

  1. My favorite concert memory is U2 in October of 1987 at Cleveland Municipal Stadium, but not for the music. The music was great…Los Lobos and Little Steven opened, and U2 rocked, but what made it memorable was something that happened before U2 came on. There were technical issues, and U2 was late getting onstage. The crowd was getting restless. Then they started playing Beatles songs over the loudspeaker, and 80,000 people began singing along. It was one of those magical communal moments.
