Beatles’ First U.S. Concert, Held In D.C., Now Available Via Stream

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.
