During their Madison Square Garden gig last weekend, the Arctic Monkeys took a moment to mark 50 years since The Beatles touched down in the States for their first tour and TV appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. Fan footage of the ‘All My Loving‘ cover has been uploaded to YouTube and can be viewed below.
The Sheffield band made a quick return to North America having undertaken a similar journey towards the end of last year, restarting at the Fillmore in Miami on January 30th. The latest dates continue at the Madison Theater in Kentucky tonight (February 10th) and move on to Columbus, Detroit and lastly First Avenue in Minneapolis on the 14th.
Back in the UK and Ireland a handful of outdoor gigs are booked for later this year; Miles Kane, who was onstage in New York for the Beatles cover, acts as chief support for shows at Finsbury Park in London and Marlay Park in Dublin.
