Janie Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 For the Beatles fans in the house: August 29, 1966 - The Beatles perform their last concert before paying fans at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. And then there's this interesting tidbit under Holidays and observances (in Wikipedia): Eastern Orthodox Christianity, Eastern Catholicism, and Roman Catholic Church commemorate the beheading of John the Baptist with a feast day. ... a feast.
