I don't much like going to stadium concerts, but I would have liked to experience that one!
I have heard some of the recordings of that and other Beatles stadium concerts..... it is difficult to hear and enjoy the music over all of the adolescent screaming and shrieking, unless the tracks have been re-dubbed with different audio.
If Ron Howard is doing the doc, I will give it a miss!
Outfits looked miserably hot.
I was in HS at the time and I recall reading that John called it an awful concert in that he couldn’t hear a thing above the noise, including the music of George, Paul & Ringo right next to him!
They didn’t have a real PA system beyond the Shea PA, which wasn’t anywhere near adequate for concerts. Seems like I remember commentary that between the size of the stadium, and the screaming, that nobody could hear them. The new 4K concert film will no doubt be the definitive record of the event.

Johnny Holliday, a radio DJ at the time, was one of the MCs at the Shay concert. Today, he is one of the announcers for the Nationals, and he is thus the only direct link that ball club has to the Beatles.
