It's the sixties. You are the most popular rock & roll group in the world. You are playing Shea stadium in New York. Apparently a big thing in the 60s.
I'm talking about, of course, the Beatles. They played their hearts out. And they couldn't hear each other over the screaming fans.
Re-read that last bit: they couldn't hear each other.
They, before "wall of sound" technology, had guitars plugged into those little speaker boxes. And used them to the max. But, we're talking a stadium filled with screaming fans, and the band's sound couldn't drown out the fan's sound.
Ringo once said he just smiled and banged away, hoping he was at least close to the singing.
Beautiful.
