Best Answer

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.
