Record albums: The Beatles Live From Sam Houston Colosseum August 19, 1965. This a two record set, one for the afternoon concert and one for the evening concert.

The Beatles arrived in Houston at 2am that morning. Their chartered airplane was surrounded by teenagers after landing at Houston International Airport, with some managing to walk on the wings and knock on the windows. The Beatles stayed at the Sheraton-Lincoln hotel while in Houston. Tickets for the shows were $5 each, and The Beatles were paid $85,000 for the two performances. The other acts on the bill were, in order of appearance, Brenda Holloway and the King Curtis Band, Cannibal & The Headhunters, and Sounds Incorporated. The concerts were recorded and broadcast by local radio station KILT, which was sponsoring the event. The recordings have since been circulated widely as bootlegs. Sam Houston Coliseum was demolished in 1998.
