This limited edition, super special, and local (to us!) t-shirt features The Beatles' old playbill from City Park Stadium here in The Mushroom's hometown of New Orleans. They toured here in 1964 and admission only cost $5! Isn't that crazy compared to what we pay to see major performances now?
The Beatles are considered one of the most influential bands to ever exist. They formed in the 60s in Liverpool and were known for their sound that merged 1950s rock and roll with pop. They rose to fame quickly after their single "Love Me Do" was released in 1962. By the late 60s, they were a household name and had already toured around the world multiple times. After the release of their album "Revolver", it was clear that the band was dropping their bubblegum pop personas to birth a psychedelic rock era. During this period The Beatles started to become avid supporters of LSD and psilocybin mushrooms, as well as leaders of the massive civil rights movement that was booming at the time. They had an insane amount of fans and a huge following that ranged from older folks to teenagers to hippies. They disbanded in 1970 and all 4 members went on to make solo albums. To this day, they are still the best-selling artist of all time.
