Nearly 60 years after The Beatles performed their final concert at Candlestick Park, Beatlemania is back in the Bay Area through the lens of Paul McCartney, who documented the Beatles’ first US trip from December 1963 to February 1964 with his 35mm Pentax camera. McCartney’s photographs constitute a visual diary of this pivotal moment in popular culture from a perspective never seen before.
“Millions of eyes were suddenly upon us, creating a picture I will never forget.” —Paul McCartney
Taken with a 35mm camera by Paul McCartney, these largely unseen photographs capture the explosive period, from the end of 1963 through early 1964, in which The Beatles became an international sensation and changed the course of music history. Featuring 275 images from the six cities―Liverpool, London, Paris, New York, Washington, D.C., and Miami―of these legendary months, Paul McCartney Photographs 1964: Eyes of the Storm also includes a personal foreword in which McCartney recalls the pandemonium of British concert halls, followed by the hysteria that greeted the band on its first American visit
This publication accompanies the exhibition Paul McCartney Photographs 1963-64: Eyes of the Storm at the de Young Museum from March 1 to July 6, 2025. Hardcover, 336 pages.
