There are some concert stops on any Beatles tour that stands out to me more than others. For me, Cleveland 1964 is one of the best. I guess the energy from the audience to the point where they rushed the stage and the concert had to stop is something I find fascinating. If you want to read about the riot at the Cleveland 1964 concert and the one at the 1966 concert (those Cleveland fans were hard core!), I HIGHLY recommend reading Dave Schwensen's book on the topic called The Beatles in Cleveland. And if you ever get a chance to hear one of Dave's presentations, don't pass it up. Dave shows some extremely rare color footage of the concert that will knock your Beatles socks off!!!
