The next-to-last Beatles concert took place August 28, 1966 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. As happened a lot on this US tour, a number of seats were empty - 10,000 short of a full house of 56,000 on this night. The wild scene after the show was more pronounced than usual this time. The getaway car couldn't pass through the outfield gates due to the screaming masses overrunning security, so it spun around and the boys made a mad dash into the dugout and the Dodgers' clubhouse. They even tried to sneak out in an ambulance, but couldn't. They finally left several hours later with lots of police assistance, and departed the next day for San Francisco and their last-ever gig.
