Today in 1965, The Beatles played their one and only concert in Minnesota. And guess what? We're going to relive it for you this morning for the Coffee Break.

You can learn more about the show in our music history post, or in Andrea Swensson's feature about this historic concert.

Normally we rely on you for suggestions for songs but today we're going to treat you to a special experience. And if you want to help us, load us up with suggestions for future Coffee Breaks, which we love! And which truly help us out. Suggest them below, or fill out the suggestion form.

And thank you.
