McCartney to Close Candlestick

From today's RAMP Newsletter...

August 29, 1966 marks an historic date for Beatles fans worldwide -- it marked the band's final official concert, and the site was San Francisco's legendary Candlestick Park. With the Giants now playing at Pac Bell Park and the 49ers moving into their new Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara this season, Candlestick is scheduled to be demolished. Therefore, it's only fitting that, nearly 50 years after that landmark Beatles concert, the final event ever to be held at the venerable venue is Sir Paul McCartney's "Farewell To Candlestick" concert this Thursday, August 14.
