February February 9, 1964 I was seven years old. It was a Sunday and my dad called me into the den/TV room and said Sally come in here and look at these longhorn boys on TV. Long haired Don’t know about their horns😂 It was the Beatles I will never forget it thanks dad I love you and I miss you😢
This was before the invention of monitors, and the screaming from the audience made it virtually impossible for them to hear each other. The fact that they still could deliver spot on performances under such circumstances proves how amazing and well rehearsed these lads actually were. The Beatles forever.
And, sound boards basically didn't exist. That's why you can't hear George during 1st song, then he comes in blaring in Long Tall Sally. Great performance. Ringo kicks ass when he can hear the song. He is amazing in these two. But, amazingly goes on the downbeat without mistakes in the cavernous arenas during Beatlemania craziness..
@@SuperChuckRaney You wanna try that again Chuck? There was no tour in 1968. They stopped touring in 66. Hair is kinda short for 68, isn't it? Remember the White Album? That was in 68. This is 2 songs from a Swedish TV show "Drop In".
"We got a good thing going on here in Hamburg, for all the Liverpool groups, but if you send that bum group, The Beatles, your gonna louse it all up.. For god sakes don't send them"- Alan Williams (The Beatles first manager relating what someone in Hamburg said to him)
@@thespunchbopwatchesyou8921 No, he was the permanent drummer by this time. This replaced Pete with him just before they had their first no.1 Please Please me.
This is the performance the boys were yearning for: no screaming, no circus shows, no fans playing chase with cops in front of them. The attention was purely theirs and in turn they give a splendid and genuine performance. In my opinion this was their finest years, just before Beatlemania hits off in the UK and then the world.
In a lot of old interviews John always said the Beatles were at their rocking best live in Hamburg and the Cavern when it wasn't caught on tape. By the time the media started following them everywhere and everything they did got recorded they'd lost their raw edge for a more polished, cohesive performance when playing live. This really shows they still had that raw edge. Man they were on fire. I don't care what standards either, 1963 or 2021 - the Beatles were just kicking ass that night!!!
@@havenhemmings3574 I think they were the last band on that night on that episode, because I think that girl who came down to join hands with the guy and they started clapping and stomping that beat was the closing of the show. I watched this again to specifically watch the reaction of the house band behind them. You can tell the guys are thinking "there's something different about these guys, we're gonna be out of business soon"
I read or saw years ago that they used to " borrow " John's auntie Grundig mono tape recorder to save some presentations they made at garage... These records today may value a" little " fortune...
It’s hard to explain about how amazing it was back then to those who were not here. I have never found the right words to describe those times but they were wonderful!!
They came along just when tv was becoming widely available and they were way ahead of their time. Perfect combination of talent and opportunity meeting.
I remember. There was a club called Vaughans. Edge Lane Liverpool in an old house, My husband n I married 1963. We did the Stomp to this n Twist and Shout, La Bamba. Newly pregnant, My daughter is 59 next week. She did the Stomp too!!. Noise was deafening. The Ale was dancing on the tables. Before corporate music gave them a polish. Age 83
Paul and Ritchie worked their asses off in those two songs. And how on earth did McCartney ever get so damned good on bass? He astounds me to this day. And he never misses a beat or has to look at his instrument, all while singing melody lines that have little to do with what he´s playing. I've been playing guitar and bass for over forty years and these guys still wow me.
8 hours a night 3 months straight in the heart of the seediest redlight district of the seediest city in the western world at the time, that's how lol....... I don't think people really understand how their Hamburg stints really molded them into some of the sharpest, most talented and highly skilled musicians on the planet. They would go on at 8 pm and pretty much play non-stop until 4 in the morning in front of a real drunken mess of all walks of life. They'd get a ham sandwich for a 20 minute break and that's about it. The club manager at the Kaiserkeller would scream "Mach schau" at them continuously, loosely translated meaning "put on the best show for the customers" and telling them to go harder. They'd be ready to keel over, and then someone would slip them pills to stay awake. That's when they got into uppers to keep them going all night. But in the process they'd become so good at just rocking out their songs that they honed their skills very well. Often after the crowds died down, they'd play slower numbers or b-sides that weren't the real popular songs at the time. Often blues tracks or stuff that only hardcore musicians would know or care about. That's when Pete Best would slip out and Ringo would join in a lot. He followed and watched the Beatles for a good year and would join them on the alternate songs before actually "joining" the band, so they knew each other really well long before he officially joined. They really got all their growing pains out during these shows, so by the time they actually cut their first official record of Love Me Do, they'd been playing together for about 4 years and were pretty well tuned as musicians. If they didn't work out as a band themselves, they each could have easily made very good livings and long careers as session musicians for other bands and orchestras. That's how good they were before anyone even really knew them. That's why they were so good from the get-go. They worked and honed their craft for years, not a few months like American Idol or America's Got Talent. No, they don't have shit. Not until they have worked for peanuts for years in an underground circuit paying their dues and cultivating something of their own.
I've been playing bass for just as many years, and it took me ages to learn to play and sing 'I Saw Her Standing There' the way Paul does. I agree: that's a busy bass-line to play when singing those lyrics. I learned bass from watching and listening to Paul, mainly. I've gotten compliments from other musicians, after singing and playing this song, at gigs in crap bars. They know how difficult it is.
@@VillageOfTheDarned1: Hardly anyone gives good bass players the recognition they deserve. My main instrument is guitar but I play everything on my own recordings. When working out a bassline I always try to channel Maca.
John Lennon always said their best shows were probably in Hamburg, that were never caught on tape. They had raw energy and pure talent and just let it rip every night for 8 hours straight.
So interesting to see the audience response: "This is something new and we don't quite know what to make of it, but we love it!" I was 13 at the time and I well remember how that sound just blew our minds back then.
Paul always played to the camera and the crowd and knew he was blessed by the gods of good looks and musical talent. John's ability to harmonize was not yet appreciated fully and the youthful energy of George and Ringo plain for all to see. These four had lived off Preludin in Hamburg and perhaps a bit of flashback here?
Greatest night of my life, August 9th 2009 in Atlanta Georgia, I'm front row at a Paul Mcartney concert. The moment he came on stage is the 1st and only time in my life I've ever been breathless. The Beatles have gotten me through some of the toughest times in my life.
Seen a lot of live acts and I understand what you felt...my most over powering experience was seeing Yul Brenner at the King of Siam, he lit up the Pantages Theater in L.A. , sadly I saw him several years later in one of his final performance, a shell of his former self. Getting to see Ringo and his All Stars is up there for me too.
@@VallinSFAS I certainly did. We were fortunate enough to be in the very front of that mass of humanity. I was on the left side (the side he entered from) and I was talking to someone behind me about how good The Script was (opening act). Then I heard everyone go absolutely crazy and I looked up at the stage and there he was in all his Beatle-esque glory. Not even 30 yards from me. I am not ashamed to say but I immediately broke into tears. He was AMAZING as u well know. Can't believe he performed so long without and breaks.
The way the energy in the room just ripples when they start into Long Tall Sally; playing the pop hits is whatever, but when you see them just go fucking hard on Little Richard, you know that these four boys were just something special.
I'm taken back, even as i age being 70 , these "Beatles" had the "stuff" and plenty of it...how lucky am i to be able to view these performances now...txs for sharing
So rare to see a live performance of ANY band without dubbing. EXCELLENT! They were working pretty hard on Long Tall Sally, got about as wild as I've ever seen them.
@@paulfrombrooklyn5409 YES, quite rare. You would know that if you had seen as many of those "old-time" R&R programs as I did. As a teenager in the '60s, American Bandstand, Lloyd thaxton, Shindig and Hullabaloo were among my favorites and I could always see if they were really singing and playing their instuments. A lot of other variety shows of the day also would have rock groups perform and they all lip-synched too bc those were all just regular TV show tapings that people didn't have to pay to get into. But Ed Sulivan had a stage in a theater and a live audience, and he insisted his performers play live music (he wanted the actual Jim Morrison to change the lyric in Light My Fire "Girl we couldn't get much higher" and after saying he would, he didn't). People wouldn't have paid his admission price to hear canned music, just like concerts today. 90% of the others were dubbed.
@@The_DC_Kid I'm a little too young to have seen all those shows. But the bands that I used to watch didn't have the music dubbed over the performance. BTW, people didn't pay to go to see those shows. All TV show tapings were free(Still are). It meant so much more to TV stations to have full audiences every show then to chance having a not full audience. Their money came from advertising dollars.
@@paulfrombrooklyn5409 You're basing your thoughts on how it's done today. Ed Sullivn allowed ONLY live performances. It's true his shows were broadcast on TV, but they were broadcasts of actual live performances being done on his stage in NYC and the audience paid to get into the theater and watch. If you paid the exorbitant fee that's currently charged to go to a live concert of your favorite artist (for the enjoyment of the music and not simply for the comraderie of a throng of humanity and the other fun stuff) I'm thinking you would feel cheated if it was pre-recorded music. Villi Minilli was pretty much ruined when they pulled that trick. In addition, if someone pays to see a performace that the show's organizers and producers advertise as being live, it MUST BE done live. If it turns out to be recorded music it's called FRAUD. In the "free" TV shows such as American Bandstand the audience wasn't told the guest performances were going to be live, nor were they charged to get into the studio, so their was no fraud.
@@The_DC_Kid makes sense really, about American Bandstand. They actually had regulars on the show too. As did Soul Train. Some of those dances were scripted/coordinated, not as spontanious as you would think. I was watching a bunch of live tv show performances of The Ronettes. You can hear the backup singers come into mic range or not. About how here, John is too loud and flat.
This is 1963. There's some accounts that Paul had written the basics of this song before he met John, and then they finished it off together. Paul also sort of borrowed and changed the key to the bassline from Chuck Berry's I'm Talkin 'bout You which was released in 1961 and The Beatles played often when they were still in Hamburg, with John on lead vocals leaving Paul to play this riff without having to sing for many, many performances. So by the time they finalized I Saw Her Standing there in 1962, Paul had played a similar bass line (again, it was borrowed not stolen - Paul changed the key and chord progression, so it's not exactly the same and there's nothing wrong with that) for a while and gotten used to the muscle memory of his fingers. He just played it in a different register on his bass, in in A major with a lot more subtle changes instead of C7 and three changes that Chuck's song was in.
The Beatles have been with me my whole life (now 63 years). It wasn't until *this year* that I found out what a great live band they were. I can't tell if it was George or John on the guitar who did it, but whichever, they really had the feel for how to step it up a notch. The second part of this video showed it.
A few years ago I saw Ringo Starr and the All Starr Band in Pheonix from the 8th row. Never got to see the Beatles, but I'm ok with seeing 25% of them!
the first few times i ever saw them, on those first ed sullivan performances, (i was 10) what i noticed--and what i STILL notice--was McCartney virtually never looks at his hands. it just looks so effortless. the others all look like regular musicians. he looks like some kind of virtuoso. go have a look. it's awe inspiring.
Even guitarists or bassists who hardly practice dont have to look down, it's based on muscle memory. I know a lot of players do but in my opinion that because they need to look somewhere other than staring weirdly at the audience
They performed Long Tall Sally way back in 1957 as the Quarrymen, and continued to play it all thru their career and it was the last song they played at their final concert on 8/29/66 at Candlestick Park
Sorry Paul no more sing and play it on these days... Little Richard recorded it at studio on E+ and Paul always sung it on G+ ! The best recorded version ever !
One interesting fact that only took me about 50 years to figure out is that John, not George, plays the lead guitar on, "Long Tall Sally!" Every video you'll see of them playing "LTS", the camera switches to George, but George is playing rhythm!
They had to trim both of these songs down to fit the programming schedule, When they played it unabridged, John took the first solo and George the second. It's just as well the version here has the Lennon solo as his guitar was much louder in the mix. The solo on "I saw her" is virtually inaudible.
I read somewhere that the first song they played back in Liverpool (coming from Hamburg) was Long Tall Sally. Imagine the impact of Pauls raw voice. It must have been like an elecric shock to the audience.
The first time they came back to the Cavern after their first stint in Hamburg they booked them as a band from Germany, so apparently they still hadn't made much of an impression lol
The distance between the band and the audience is incredibly small. This distance couldn't have been conceivable in case of concerts in the U.S. after this period of the Beatles. I wish i could time travel and enjoy their rocking with these swedish people.
Such a different time, different era. Crowds could be trusted not to tear the band members apart in 1963. The Beatles were in the midst of changing all that, themselves, of course lol

BTW, people didn't pay to go to see those shows. All TV show tapings were free(Still are). It meant so much more to TV stations to have full audiences every show then to chance having a not full audience. Their money came from advertising dollars.
@@paulfrombrooklyn5409 You're basing your thoughts on how it's done today. Ed Sullivn allowed ONLY live performances. It's true his shows were broadcast on TV, but they were broadcasts of actual live performances being done on his stage in NYC and the audience paid to get into the theater and watch. If you paid the exorbitant fee that's currently charged to go to a live concert of your favorite artist (for the enjoyment of the music and not simply for the comraderie of a throng of humanity and the other fun stuff) I'm thinking you would feel cheated if it was pre-recorded music. Villi Minilli was pretty much ruined when they pulled that trick. In addition, if someone pays to see a performace that the show's organizers and producers advertise as being live, it MUST BE done live. If it turns out to be recorded music it's called FRAUD. In the "free" TV shows such as American Bandstand the audience wasn't told the guest performances were going to be live, nor were they charged to get into the studio, so their was no fraud.
@@The_DC_Kid makes sense really, about American Bandstand. They actually had regulars on the show too. As did Soul Train. Some of those dances were scripted/coordinated, not as spontanious as you would think.
I was watching a bunch of live tv show performances of The Ronettes. You can hear the backup singers come into mic range or not. About how here, John is too loud and flat.
Beatles never die❤❤❤❤
John Lennon said " If we played straight ahead rock n roll their wasn't a band who could touch us ."
FAB
The First record ( album ) I ever bought was Please Please Me - I still play it regularly .
Tough ass bass riff to play and sing at the same time 🔥
Ricky, I was thinking the same, he doesn't even look down at the frets either.
@@maxwellfan55 he’s nasty with it
This is 1963. There's some accounts that Paul had written the basics of this song before he met John, and then they finished it off together. Paul also sort of borrowed and changed the key to the bassline from Chuck Berry's I'm Talkin 'bout You which was released in 1961 and The Beatles played often when they were still in Hamburg, with John on lead vocals leaving Paul to play this riff without having to sing for many, many performances.
So by the time they finalized I Saw Her Standing there in 1962, Paul had played a similar bass line (again, it was borrowed not stolen - Paul changed the key and chord progression, so it's not exactly the same and there's nothing wrong with that) for a while and gotten used to the muscle memory of his fingers. He just played it in a different register on his bass, in in A major with a lot more subtle changes instead of C7 and three changes that Chuck's song was in.
@@joe6096 Interesting, thank you.
The Beatles have been with me my whole life (now 63 years). It wasn't until *this year* that I found out what a great live band they were. I can't tell if it was George or John on the guitar who did it, but whichever, they really had the feel for how to step it up a notch. The second part of this video showed it.
George played the leads in the early days, John rhythm and triplets are amazing...love seeing the live performances that the sound is synced on.
A mis casi 72 años sigo escuchando a The Beatles la mejor banda 🎉🎉🎉🎉
The Fab Four forever!!!
Louis Armstrong and The Beatles own the century.
Why?
BECAUSE THEY MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY!
Musical geniuses. The younger generation could learn something from them.
"Have some fun tonight, everything's alright!"
Prof. I. Ver Mectin
Oscillococcinum works real good ,too.
I got it on amazon
That’s the tragedy. They are as energetic, as free and as talented but today’s society will give them no chance
Yes the younger generation of 1963
Raw talent right there.
This is interesting because you can hear the harmony part very well.
Fascinating. This live performance of "I saw her standing there" sounds a lot different than the studio recording we are familiar with.
Always since I was twelve I'm 71 now thank you Beatles ❤
❤❤❤
Imagine being the act to follow that!
A few years ago I saw Ringo Starr and the All Starr Band in Pheonix from the 8th row. Never got to see the Beatles, but I'm ok with seeing 25% of them!
共感し合える者同士が集い戯れる、こんな喜ばしいことはないですね。
In my book, The Beatles will always be # 1.
So cool these men all played instruments..
this band clearly has some potential...
I agree...
Agree!
Yep, would be a pity if they didn't go on to something big.
This has gone from a very clever comment years ago to being the least original cliche of cliches.
@@generalyellor8188 Oh look. The Comedy Nazi is here to tell us what is acceptable to laugh at. Sorry "general"
Amazing totality
Long Live Rock n' Roll
the first few times i ever saw them, on those first ed sullivan performances, (i was 10) what i noticed--and what i STILL notice--was McCartney virtually never looks at his hands. it just looks so effortless. the others all look like regular musicians. he looks like some kind of virtuoso. go have a look. it's awe inspiring.
Even guitarists or bassists who hardly practice dont have to look down, it's based on muscle memory. I know a lot of players do but in my opinion that because they need to look somewhere other than staring weirdly at the audience
The sound of Lennons Rickenbacker 325 is awesome
Goose bumps. The greatest band ever. God blessed them huge
Way back when crowds cared to let them sing and listen. Intelligent public.
They performed Long Tall Sally way back in 1957 as the Quarrymen, and continued to play it all thru their career and it was the last song they played at their final concert on 8/29/66 at Candlestick Park
Sorry Paul no more sing and play it on these days... Little Richard recorded it at studio on E+ and Paul always sung it on G+ ! The best recorded version ever !
Think about that name, The Quarrymen. So British really.
And of course, they 'quarry' Rock N Roll.
played this these songs 1,000 times live... They really had it down here...
Extraordinario!
It was a fab moment, never forgotten
Simply Thee Best live band on Earth at this time. As Ringo, “ Nobody could touch us”.
One interesting fact that only took me about 50 years to figure out is that John, not George,
plays the lead guitar on, "Long Tall Sally!" Every video you'll see of them playing "LTS", the camera switches to George, but George is playing rhythm!
I know, right! It's December 14, 2021 and I am just now learning that myself. John rarely played lead anyway, and you nailed it.
Right and they could’ve had a better camera angle! John is so hard to catch playing lead when he does!
They had to trim both of these songs down to fit the programming schedule, When they played it unabridged, John took the first solo and George the second. It's just as well the version here has the Lennon solo as his guitar was much louder in the mix. The solo on "I saw her" is virtually inaudible.
My heart went by boom...
I read somewhere that the first song they played back in Liverpool (coming from Hamburg) was Long Tall Sally. Imagine the impact of Pauls raw voice. It must have been like an elecric shock to the audience.
The first time they came back to the Cavern after their first stint in Hamburg they booked them as a band from Germany, so apparently they still hadn't made much of an impression lol
Look at Ringo rockin' out!
They never get old or stale.
These kids really rock..
Might go somewhere too I guess
Ringo, 3:54 😎
Grazie ai Beatles che hanno rivoluzionato il soul del loro rock and roll altro l'appiattimento della attuale musica rock del2024
De la época en que el público todavía se dedicaba a oírlos cantar.
OMG... Drums, bass, rhythm, lead, vocals, It's Unbelievable!!!!!
The distance between the band and the audience is incredibly small. This distance couldn't have been conceivable in case of concerts in the U.S. after this period of the Beatles. I wish i could time travel and enjoy their rocking with these swedish people.
Such a different time, different era. Crowds could be trusted not to tear the band members apart in 1963.
The Beatles were in the midst of changing all that, themselves, of course lol
The Musician's behind them were like "What the F**K?" These guys are Awesome!!!
What?? You can get rich on 3 chords???
They are re-evaluating their entire career.
Im still amazed after all these many years. The best ever.
The energy is still bouncing around the stratosphere…I really don’t know how they did it…
Coca
I... love... Paul's... rockin'... voice.
Ringo really rockin the beat at 3:53
I get tired of the attitude Paul gets sometimes - the guy is a living legend and recordings like this reminds us of how astonishingly talented he is.
Always takes me back to the memory of my oldest brother’s record and his cool Beatle Boots! ❤❤❤
Anyone else remember them?
