SOUNDBITE RINGO STARR SAYING (English):
"When you are doing your gig and it is, 'Wow,' and that was a small audience. After Shea, and Shea was the biggest audience - that was the first time anyone played a stadium - we were like, 'Wow!' We were used to, people were talking about people screaming, but that is how it was was. We got up, people screamed, we ended and they went home."
