Sid Bernstein, former promoter for The Beatles and other British Invasion acts, is pissed that he didn’t get invited to Billy Joel’s final concerts last week at Shea Stadium before it is to be demolished. Bernstein is the one who organized The Beatles famous concert at Shea in 1965, which was also the first held at the stadium. Now he wants to squeeze in one more concert, featuring a Beatles tribute act, Rain. Bernstein, 90, told the New York Daily News:

“Can I tell you how upset I am that I wasn’t invited?”

Bernstein said that he is in talks with the people who brought the Pope to Yankee Stadium, and “maybe” they’ll have the tribute band show at Shea. Ouch.
