Mike Mitchell was 18 years old when he took these photos of the Beatles on February 11, 1964. They just sold at Christie's New York for various large sums of money. It was the first concert the Fab Four did in the US. The auctioneer called this last beautiful backlit shot "the money shot". It sold for $68,000., so I guess he was right. I found this image on line here. You can also go over to Christie's, here, to see how much each photo sold for. I love the Beatles! And I love black and white photographs.
