Step back in time to April 11, 1965, when the legendary Beatles graced the stage at the New Musical Express Annual Poll-Winners’ All-Star Concert. Held at the Empire Pool in Wembley, London, this event marked the third consecutive year that the Fab Four headlined the show, captivating the audience with their electrifying performance.
In front of a crowd of 10,000 eager fans, The Beatles unleashed a setlist that would go down in history. Kicking things off with the infectious energy of "I Feel Fine," they segued seamlessly into the sultry tones of "She's A Woman." The crowd swayed and sang along as the band delved into the haunting melody of "Baby's In Black" before launching into the iconic "Ticket To Ride." And just when the audience thought it couldn't get any better, The Beatles closed out their set with the rollicking anthem "Long Tall Sally," leaving everyone on their feet and craving more.
But the magic didn't end there. The Beatles' unforgettable performance was immortalized as it was broadcast on television across the United Kingdom on April 18, 1965, ensuring that fans far and wide could experience the excitement of that historic night.
The Empire Pool may have seen many great acts over the years, from Wings to Paul McCartney himself, but it was on that fateful April evening in 1965 that The Beatles truly stole the show, leaving an indelible mark on music history that continues to resonate to this day.
