SF/Arts Curator Insight
In August 1966, the Beatles’ final live concert happened at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. Now, with an exhibition of 250-plus personal photos by Paul McCartney, along with video clips and archival materials, Beatlemania returns to the city. The musician’s images — from frenzied fans to selfies to behind-the-scenes moments — were captured between December 1963 and February 1964, as the band took England and the United States by storm.
