 * The Beatles play Shea Stadium in New York for the second time (see also 15 August 1965). George Martin is quoted as saying: "'Curiously enough the second Shea Stadium concert had about 11,000 seats unsold. So it was a pretty unsettling time. And it was against this background that they said, 'Right, we definitely won't do any more. We are going to have a break and then we are going into the studio to make a record.''"The Beatles at Shea Stadium
