About the book: Top of the Mountain: The Beatles at Shea Stadium, 1965 is a book that recounts the exciting events of August 1965 when 56,000 people gathered at Shea Stadium for a rock and roll concert featuring The Beatles. The concert was the brainchild of promoter Sid Bernstein and was a first-of-its-kind event, breaking all attendance records in show business history. The book is told through first-person interviews and quotes from a diverse cast of characters including celebrities, writers, fans, and security guards, all of whom were part of the night and witnessed the Beatles change the world.
