The Beatles' only San Diego concert was 55 years ago this week: Here's what happened, on stage ...

What happened when The Beatles performed at Balboa Stadium on Aug. 28, 1965?

What transpired before, during and after the world’s most famous and influential rock band took the stage for the only time in San Diego?

And exactly how many buckets of Kentucky Fried Chicken did their contract stipulate be provided backstage?

Your mother (or grandmother) should know.

If not, here are the answers to these and other questions about The Beatles’ sole San Diego concert. (If you attended and want to share your fab memories of the show for possible publication, email george.varga@sduniontribune.com. Please include your age at the time of the concert and the area you currently live in.)

Last-minute addition: The band’s San Diego concert was added so belatedly to the Fab Four’s tour that it did not appear on the band’s original 16-show, nine-city itinerary. The performance here was squeezed in just after The Beatles took some vacation days in Los Angeles and just before their Aug. 29 and 30 shows at the Hollywood Bowl.
