Rolling Stone have shared thirteen rare and unseen photos from The Beatles final concert:

The Beatles saga can be neatly divided into two halves: everything that came before their concert at San Francisco’s Candlestick Park on Aug. 29, 1966, and everything that came after. That momentous event marked the final time they played a proper concert following years of relentless road work that greatly limited the number of hours they could spend in recording studios. In the aftermath, they were able to camp out at Abbey Road and carefully craft masterpieces like Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Bandwithout a clock ticking towards their next show.

CBC:

Last week, late at night, when Rob Frith was wrapping up a work session at a friend’s studio, he decided to throw on one last tape for a listen.

It was labelled “Beatles 60s demos” and had been sitting around Neptoon Records, one of Vancouver’s most well-known record shops, unplayed. Frith, who owns the shop, had never listened to it, but had brought the recording to his friend’s studio that night, knowing he had the right player for the tape. 

”I thought it was just a reel-to-reel tape that somebody had put bootleg things on,” Frith said.

But when the tape played, the quality of the sound was clear and bright.
