    On June 14, 1965, The Beatles kicked off their second European tour at the Palais des Sports in Paris, France. This tour was significant for several reasons:

    1. The setlist: The Beatles performed a mix of old favorites and new songs from their recently released album "Help!" including the title track, "Ticket to Ride," and "The Night Before."

    2. The audience: The concert was attended by a star-studded audience, including French singer Johnny Hallyday and actress Brigitte Bardot. The crowd was so excited that they drowned out the band's performance at times with their screaming.

    3. The sound system: The Beatles used a new sound system called the "Vox AC100" during this tour. It was a powerful amplifier that allowed the band to be heard over the screaming fans.

    4. The press conference: Before the concert, The Beatles held a press conference where they answered questions from French journalists. John Lennon made headlines when he jokingly referred to the band as "more popular than Jesus," a comment that would later spark controversy in the United States.

    5. The cultural impact: The Beatles' appearance in Paris was a significant moment in the spread of "Beatlemania" across Europe. The band's music and style had a profound impact on French youth culture and helped to define the sound and look of the 1960s.

    The Beatles' 1965 European tour was a thrilling moment in music history that showcased the band's incredible popularity and influence. The tour also marked a turning point in the band's career as they began to experiment with new sounds and styles that would shape their future albums, such as "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver."

    On June 13, 1970, The Beatles began recording what would become their final album, "Let It Be." The recording sessions were initially intended to be a back-to-basics approach, with the band rehearsing and recording new material live in the studio. However, the sessions were marked by tensions and disagreements among the band members, particularly between Paul McCartney and George Harrison.

    The Beatles had originally planned to record the album in a more relaxed setting, such as at their own Apple Studios or even on a cruise ship, but they eventually settled on Twickenham Film Studios in London. The sessions were filmed for a planned documentary titled "Get Back," which was later released in a modified form as "Let It Be" in 1970.

    Despite the tensions, the band managed to record a number of now-classic songs during the "Let It Be" sessions, including the title track, "Get Back," "The Long and Winding Road," and "I've Got a Feeling." The album also featured the band's iconic final live performance on the rooftop of Apple Corps headquarters on January 30, 1969.

    However, the "Let It Be" album was ultimately shelved and would not be released until May 1970, after the band had officially broken up. The album was produced by Phil Spector, who added orchestral and choral arrangements to several tracks, much to the distaste of some band members, particularly McCartney.

    Despite the controversial production and the band's breakup, "Let It Be" remains a beloved album among Beatles fans and a poignant document of the band's final days together in the studio. The album and its title track continue to be celebrated as a testament to the enduring power of The Beatles' music and legacy.

    On June 12th in music history, one significant event took place in 1993. On this day, the legendary rock band Nirvana held a benefit concert at the Cow Palace in Daly City, California. The show was organized to support the Bosnian rape victims during the Bosnian War, which was a devastating conflict in the Balkans region at the time.

    The concert featured an incredible lineup of bands, including Nirvana, The Breeders, L7, and The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy. Nirvana's performance was particularly memorable, as they played a mix of their biggest hits and cover songs, including a powerful rendition of "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" by Lead Belly.

    During the show, Nirvana's frontman, Kurt Cobain, took a moment to address the crowd and raise awareness about the atrocities happening in Bosnia. He spoke passionately about the need for action and urged the audience to support organizations working to help the victims of the war.

    The benefit concert was a massive success, raising over $60,000 for the cause. It also helped to bring attention to the horrific events taking place in Bosnia and encouraged more people to get involved in supporting the victims.

    Tragically, less than a year after this iconic performance, Kurt Cobain passed away, making the Cow Palace show one of Nirvana's final live appearances. The concert remains a testament to the band's commitment to using their platform to make a difference and their ability to deliver unforgettable performances that continue to inspire generations of music lovers.
