Queen Elizabeth and Concerts: The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, One Direction and More
Buzz 15:25PM EDT
Fifty years ago on this date, The Beatles debuted its new film, Help!, in London and there was a very big name in the crowd at the debut: Queen Elizabeth II.

The guitarist may not have been the superstitious one in this case, but plenty of musicians have their own good luck ceremonies before concerts.
