March 14 1964: Video tape of The Beatles February 11th concert at the Washington Coliseum was shown in select theaters across the United States via closed circuit TV. In mid-March 1964, the CBS filming of the Beatles live D.C. show – together with separate footage of performances by the Beach Boys and Lesley Gore – was shown in selected U.S. movie theaters as a closed-circuit concert. Billed in advertising as — “The Beatles: Direct From Their First American Concert” — the complete 90-minute film was then transmitted to selected U.S. theaters over telephone lines on four separate occasions over two weekends in March. The first round of closed circuit concerts occurred on Saturday, March 14, 1964, and among the receiving theater locations on that day were: the Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; the Hippodrome Theater in Cleveland, Ohio; the El Monte Legion Stadium in El Monte, California; the Public Auditorium in Portland, Oregon.
