Are you a Beatles fan? On this day in 1966, August 19, the Beatles performed twice in Memphis at the Mid-South Coliseum as part of their U.S. tour. It was a BIG DEAL.

This tour took place after John Lennon made the remark that the Beatles were "more popular than Jesus."

Our Special Collections department has a collection of memorabilia related to these concerts, which can be viewed online in our Digital Commons, a digital repository.

This collection includes a photo of a press conference and more. One of the items is an ad for the concert. Tickets for reserved tickets were $5.50, and depending upon which website you use, that same ticket would be roughly $48 to $54 today, due to inflation.
