Summary
- Photographer Jim Marshall captured intimate Beatles moments at Candlestick Park.
- Ringo Starr sat for an interview in a San Francisco Giants locker.
- Columnist Ralph Gleason, later of Rolling Stone, had tea with the band.
Exclusive photographic access granted to Jim Marshall during the Beatles' famed 1966 concert at Candlestick Park has brought to light previously unseen moments. These images capture the band in candid settings, away from the stage's spotlight.
One revealing photograph shows Ringo Starr giving an interview while seated in a locker, a space normally occupied by San Francisco Giants players. The Giants' roster that year included notable athletes like Willie Mays and Juan Marichal.
Another captured moment depicts the Beatles sharing tea with Ralph Gleason, a columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle. Gleason's journalistic legacy expanded significantly just over a year later when he became a co-founder of the influential rock magazine, Rolling Stone. The Giants were on a road trip and played the Atlanta Braves that night, winning 7-6.
