First look as Beatles movie stars recreate epic New York gig in stadium

It was the biggest Beatles concert, with screaming so loud they famously couldn’t hear themselves playing their instruments. Now the actors playing the fab four in Sam Mendes’ film project have got on stage to recreate the gig at Shea Stadium in New York City in 1965. For the remake of the famous show, movie-makers have not returned to America but instead shot the scenes in Montjuic baseball stadium in Barcelona in Spain with the original US venue being demolished in 2009.
