On this day of 4th January, the Beatles began their first ever US tour in San Francisco.
This event marked a major turning point in the history of rock and pop music, as it was part of the beginning of the British Invasion in the United States. The Beatles, who had already gained immense popularity in the UK, arrived in the U.S. in February 1964 and soon appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show, but their official tour started in January.
Their performance on U.S. soil helped solidify the band’s dominance, making them global superstars. It also set the stage for the explosion of British pop music in America, influencing countless American bands and reshaping the music landscape.
