On August 17, 1965, the Beatles made their second appearance in Toronto, at Maple Leaf Gardens.
The group had played two shows a year earlier, with two half-hour sets featuring a dozen songs that started with a bang as the four moptops performed Twist and Shout.
The accompanying picture, with Paul McCartney, features L-R: L-R: CHUM AM/FM VP & GM Allan Slaight, CHUM newsman JJ Richards, and DJ Dave Johnson.
Doug Thompson and Aireum, Canada's broadcast museum, supplied this shot that was likely taken by CHUM's main photographer in the '60s, Neil Newton.
