Quiet Curtain Call: The Beatles’ Hidden Farewell at Candlestick Park

Sixty years ago, the Beatles played Candlestick Park in San Francisco as their clandestine farewell to touring: a chilly, chaotic 11-song set capped by Long Tall Sally, with George Harrison reportedly saying 'I'm not a Beatle anymore' on the flight home and John Lennon teasing 'In My Life' as a glimpse of their future. The show underscored the group's fatigue with stadium gigs and sound constraints, prompting a move to full-time studio exploration (Revolver, Abbey Road) that would redefine them and rock music.
