For more on the Beatles in Chicago, watch this WGN-TV newsreel footage from August 20, 1965 of the Beatles performing at Comiskey Park. There’s not much here of the Fab Four actually performing, but there’s plenty of fun footage of the fans in attendance — a combined total of 52,000 made it to two shows at 3:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Perhaps you can spot yourself, if you were there on that summer afternoon.
