Although it's been over 40 years since they broke-up, The Beatles' music is still as popular now as it was back in their Sgt. Pepper's days, thanks to iTunes. It probably helps that Steve Jobs is a huge fan. It's been 47 years since the Fab Four played their very first American concert at the Washington Coliseum in D.C. To commemorate that historic moment in rock history, the Egyptian Theatre will be screening the concert in its entirety. Amplifiers back then were barely suitable for crowds of a hundred, let alone a stadium packed with thousands of screaming girls, so throughout the concert John and Paul can be seen moving their amps to face different sections of the audience. I guess they didn't have roadies back then. This will be the first time American eyes will have an opportunity to see the footage since it aired in movie theaters around the country in March of '64, and the screening will include a panel discussion hosted by rock historian Domenic Priore. For serious music fans, it sure beats Justin Bieber's Never Say Never.
