"I'm Down" (Live)

The Beatles had their legendary Shea Stadium concert 50 years ago tonight, drawing a then-record crowd of 55,000+ which gave us today's video. They had taped their last in-studio Ed Sullivan appearance the previous night before starting a short US swing. The studio version was the B-side of the "Help!" 45, and became the show closer on that tour. Watch John play the organ with his elbows!
