The 60th anniversary of The Beatles’ legendary performance at the Hollywood Bowl was just a couple of days ago on August 23rd, 2024. Why is that date special? Has there ever been a group of fans who’ve hung on for this long? We’ll have to wait a long time to see, but Taylor Swift’s fans may give them a run for their money. Truthfully, there’s no denying that it was a pivotal moment for both the band and the history of rock & roll, solidifying The Beatles' rapid rise and status as global superstars. Beatlemania took hold in the US against the backdrop of a nation in mourning following the November 1963 assassination of JFK. Music historian and Beatles scholar, Martin Lewis, joins The Excerpt to discuss the role of The Beatles in the 1960’s counterculture movement and how they went from being relatively unknowns in the US in 1963 to global icons in 1964.
