Audio recordings from the Beatles August 29, 1966 concert at San Francisco's Candlestick Park, which would turn out to be the bands final performance, has surfaced online.

The concert was recorded on cassette by their press officer Tony Barrow.


During their 1996 U.S. tour, the Ku Klux Klan was picketing concerts after John Lennon proclaimed the Beatles were bigger than Jesus.

"It wasn't fun anymore. And that was the main point: We'd always tried to keep some fun in it for ourselves.

In anything you do you have to do that, and we'd been pretty good at it. But even now America was beginning to pall because of the conditions of tour, and because we'd done it so many times.

So by Candlestick Park it was like, 'Don't tell anyone, but this is probably our last gig,'" Paul McCartney recalled.


Throughout their 11 song, 33-minute set, the band performed a rendition of Chuck Berry's "Rock 'n' Roll Music," as well as b-side "She's a Woman," before fans rushed the stage during "Baby's In Black" and "Nowhere Man."

Barrow's cassette tape cut down before the bands final song.
