Legacy
The concert itself was a milestone in musical history as one of the first major stadium concerts. The documentary was a highlight of the 1995 Beatles Anthology series, which featured extensive clips from the film.
Ringo Starr described the concert in The Beatles Anthology: "What I remember most about the concert was that we were so far away from the audience. ... And screaming had become the thing to do. ... Everybody screamed. If you look at the footage, you can see how we reacted to the place. It was very big and very strange."
John Lennon recalled the show in 1970 as a career highlight: "At Shea Stadium, I saw the top of the mountain."
In 2008, Paul McCartney played the last concert at Shea Stadium with Billy Joel before the stadium was closed. The concert was documented in the film Last Play at Shea.
