The Beatles at Dodger Stadium

11. January 2007

Funny when I went to see the Rolling Stones recently at Dodger Stadium, I thought how amazing would it have been to see the Beatles play in the same venue. I always thought, if I could see one band play, alive or dead, it would be the Beatles. Brent Shyer at Walter O’Malley dot com [...]
