Today Sir Paul McCartney takes the stage at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, 58 years after his last visit to Baltimore on September 13, 1964. In this footage from our archive, the Beatles - John, Paul, George, and Ringo - take the stage at what was then known as the Baltimore Civic Center during their first American tour.
Missing from the footage are the deafening screams of an estimated 26,000 fans who packed the Civic Center as the Beatles ran through a set list of 12 songs.
