In 1964 the crowd at Cleveland Ohio's  Public auditorium had went so crazy over the Beatles that the Police inspector had to stop the concert in the middle of a song. 15 minutes later after the crowd had calmed somewhat The Beatles were allowed to resume the concert.

On this day in 1965 Ford Motor Company began offering the option of having an 8 track tape player in all of their cars.
