From the time they adopted the Beatles name... John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Pete Best, Stuart Sutcliffe, Ringo Starr, Andy White (session drummer for "Love Me Do") and Jimmy Nicol (filled in for Starr on tour when he had his tonsils out). Billy Preston guested with them, but wasn't asked to join. They had occasional guests, including Dave Mason (White Albumtracks), Nicky Hopkins (piano on "Revolution"), Eric Clapton (lead guitar on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps") and Linda McCartney (backing vocals on "Let It Be", when Mary Hopkin didn't show up), but they also weren't made members.
The audience attendance alone was 55,000. The absolute biggest at the time. The total was $304,000, which was unheard of back then. They used 2,000 security, and they play through the stadium speaker system as well as specially made 100 watt amps on stage. The Beatles only played a 30 minute set.
Sunday, February 9, 1964, at 8 p.m, when the Beatles made their American television debut on The Ed Sullivan Show, an estimated 73 million people were watching.

What happened to the Beatles when they were playing at Shea Stadium?
There were so many girls screaming that it drowned out the music.
Which Beatle first visited the United States?
George Harrison was the first; his sister married an American and moved to St. Louis, Missouri, and he visited her there late in 1963. He noticed that Beatles records were nowhere to be found (even though they had been released on Vee-Jay and other small American labels), and a movie featuring England's biggest pop star of the time (Cliff Richard) only got second billing in theaters. He returned to England with little hope for the Beatles' success in the United States. (Time proved him wrong.)
Where did The Beatles perform the song Hey Jude and when did they perform it?
Probably the first performance by The Quarrymen (the earliest band formed by Lennon) was in July 1957 at a garden fete in Woolton, Liverpool. The Beatles became a "serious" band in 1960 when they obtained a booking to play in Hamburg at the Indra club; their first professional performances could be argued to be there.
