Hello Stackers!
It's Thursday so that means it's Throwback Thursday Time!
I'm going to give you a bunch of clues and I want you to guess the year and comment a song from that year. Highest ranked correct answer (by "top") gets the bounty. Entries close prior to "Feel Good Friday" Post.
π¨A guess without a correct song doesn't win, both your guess and the song must be from the correct year.π¨
Here we go!
- The Beatles' Shea Stadium concert: The Beatles played at Shea Stadium in New York City, the first rock concert to be held in a major American stadium. The concert set new world records for attendance and revenue.

The Rolling Stones - (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction (Official Lyric Video)
view on www.youtube.comBoth you and Msd went for the same one. Great track. Both entries will be paid should they be "top".
No way mine is going to be the TOP 1!
Never say never. It's a big track.
There are hidden forces that won't allow it! Ahaha!
Awesome choice! Wasn't expecting this at all, great entry.
I saw Herb Alpert, 1965, went to the album and was thrilled when this song was on there ππ€
Haven't listened to this stuff since... Man, when I was a kid from my mom's cassettes.
It's amazing how this era survives generations. I still love hearing people like LuLu, or Janis Joplin. Just brings up memories of my childhood listing to something with my folks.

view on youtu.beThe Beatles covering a Buck Owens song! From what I understand they were fans of country music in this era. I saw an interview with someone that worked at Capitol Records at the time, and they mentioned that the Beatles were Buck Owens fans and always wanted copies of his new records. Buck and his band returned the favor and covered Twist and Shout at their London concert a few years later.
Lots of Beatles representation here today.
They were certainly a popular group in that time period!
Icons. Nice one 7e
This song is amazing. The way he sings the line "I need your love" damn, gets me every time, you can hear the yearning in the notes. Clearly deliberate, clearly planned and knew exactly what he was trying to portray in the lyrics and the way he chooses to sing them.

view on www.youtube.comWoohoo!!! Great choice, I love this song.
"Satisfaction" is a single released by the British rock band The Rolling Stones in 1965. "Satisfaction", whose riff is one of the most famous in rock history, gave the band their first number one hit in the United States.
