3rd "Apollo in the Hamptons" benefit concert (Concert) on Aug 11, 2012

The Beatles, of course, followed suit with their own hit cover in 1964.
While onstage, McCartney acknowledged the Apollo’s influence on the Beatles, asking the audience, “Where would we have been without you? In Liverpool. We would have stayed there.” […]
