The Beatles play Shea Stadium and invent the stadium concert

Shea opened in 1964 beside the World's Fair grounds as home to the Mets and the Jets. On August 15, 1965 the Beatles played there to about 55,600 people, the largest crowd a concert had drawn anywhere, running their guitars through the ballpark's own address system while the screaming buried the music. Promoters drew the obvious conclusion and rock moved permanently into stadiums. On 25 October 1986, in Game 6 of the World Series, Mookie Wilson's ground ball rolled through Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner's legs and the Mets won in the tenth inning; they took Game 7 two nights later. Shea came down in 2009 after Citi Field opened next door.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
