When it comes to today’s announcement that people can now purchase Beatles songs via iTunes, everyone seems either really excited or totally put off by Apple’s marketing. And while we’re sure that the arrangement, regardless of how anyone feels about it, will end up making both sides more money than any of us could possibly imagine (and also provide the cop-out gift of the holiday season to boot!), there is at least one really neat local thing about it: Apple is offering a free, complete copy of the Fab Four’s first American concert, held in D.C. at the old Washington Coliseum on February 11, 1964, two days after the band played The Ed Sullivan Show.

The former Coliseum, which was previously known as the Uline Arena, is currently being redeveloped by Douglas Jemal’s Douglas Development Corp. (Here’s a photoset of images from outside and inside the building taken in 2008.) The structure was added to the D.C. Historical Preservation Review Board’s protected building list in 2006.

Above is a clip of the performance with John, Paul, George and Ringo playing “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” You can stream the entirety of the concert through Apple’s website here.
