===The Beatles' final concert=== [[The Beatles]] famously gave their last full public concert at Candlestick Park on August 29, 1966. Songs performed at the show were "[[Rock and Roll Music (song)|Rock and Roll Music]]", "[[She's a Woman]]", "[[If I Needed Someone]]", "[[Day Tripper]]", "[[Baby's in Black]]", "[[I Feel Fine]]", "[[Yesterday (Beatles song)|Yesterday]]", "[[I Wanna Be Your Man]]", "[[Nowhere Man (song)|Nowhere Man]]", "[[Paperback Writer]]", and "[[Long Tall Sally]]". An "official" [[bootleg recording]] of the 33-minute setlist was made by the Beatles' press officer, [[Tony Barrow]], at the request of the band. As his [[Cassette tape|cassette]] could only record 30 minutes per side, it ran out with a minute of the closing song, "[[Long Tall Sally#The Beatles version|Long Tall Sally]]", remaining.<ref name="Runtagh, Jordan"/> This recording has never been officially released, although it has been leaked on to the internet. At the time, The Beatles had not announced that this was to be their final concert, and even if the foursome themselves knew, it was a closely guarded secret. Much of the existing color film footage of the concert was captured by a 15-year-old Beatles fan, Barry Hood. A relatively small amount of black-and-white footage was shot by local TV news in the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento. Hood released some of his film in a limited edition documentary titled ''The Beatles Live In San Francisco'',<ref name=autogenerated1>{{cite web |url=http://www.televideos.com/index.html |title=Beatles Last Concert Candlestick Park San Francisco DVD |website=televideos.com |access-date=September 9, 2016}}</ref> but more of Hood's very rare footage remains in a vault, unseen by the public as of 2017.<ref name=autogenerated1 /> On August 14, 2014, former Beatle [[Paul McCartney]] returned to become the closing act of Candlestick Park's long musical history. To showcase the event, McCartney contacted Barry Hood and used a portion of his original 1966 Beatles film on a big screen at this last concert.
