The Beatles unpublished photos to be auctioned

A number of unpublished Beatles' images taken by a teenager during their very first 1964 US concert are expected to be sold for $100,000 each, according to Christie.

The black and white photographs which have been stored in a box for 45 years were taken by then 18 years old Mike Mitchell. Mitchell who still works as a photographer was present when The Beatles arrived at Union Station and he was able to document the fans' hysteria. He then documented the Beatles concern at the Baltimore Civic Center months later.

The Beatles performed their first U.S. concert at Washington Coliseum on February 11th, 1964.
