Relive The Beatle's '64 Concert- TONIGHT!

50 years ago legendary concert promoter, Pat DiCesare, was able to bring The Beatles to Pittsburgh for their only appearance in the steel city. The story of how he got them here is rather awe-inspiring. Without ruining any of his new book, "Hard Days, Hard Nights" that details his hard working years in the music industry, let's just say a lot of motivation, dedication and a paper bag full of cash is what got The Beatles to cross the pond and come to the place where the three rivers meet.

Monday night at The Hard Rock Cafe, we honored Mr. DiCesare and not only did his family, fans and friends show up but official documents from the governor and mayor's office were presented to him and declared September 14 "Pat DiCesare Day" all across the state of Pennsylvania.

The Semi-Supervillains, the winners of the Penn Rock Scholarship, kicked the night off by covering some Beatles classics and playing songs of their new ablum "Tricks" that's available for purchase now.

Sean McDowell of WDVE hosted the night and brought Mr. DiCesare on stage to share some of his inspiring stories.

SuperMonkey ended the night by playing some hard-rockin Beatles covers and some songs of their own as well.

This wasn't a motivational speaking event, but I sure took it that way. I am just now starting my career in the music industry and to hear his stories gave me the push to continue to do this.

"...Then finally I got a job in the music industry and I was the best... The best floor sweeper and shelf stocker the business had ever seen," Pat joked about his beginnings in the business.

He went from a young man sweeping floors in an office to going door to door promoting bands that he thought were worthy to taking a huge chance and wiring money to New York City to bring The Beatles to Pittsburgh. Since that monumental event, acts as big as Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones and more came to our city.

TONIGHT- The Benedum Center is hosting a very special tribute concert event in recognition of this pivotal event in Pittsburgh music history. Pat DiCesare will be selling his book, "Hard Days, Hard Nights" and staying around to sign each copy. Tickets are still available at www.concertpat.com!
