Paris, France, 20 June 1965: the British rock band The Beatles began their European tour with two concerts at the Palais des Sports on the same day. The "four boys in the wind" had set up shop at the George-V Hotel, as they had the previous year. Here, the four members of the band on the stage of the Palais des Sports, with Paul Mac Cartney (McCartney, bass) and John Lennon (guitar) singing at the microphone, Ringo Starr (centre, drums) and George Harrison (guitar).
