@James McCarthy, Certain Beatles songs are physically impossible for only four musicians to play. This video was recorded at a specialty show. When The Fab Four play specialty shows, they sometimes perform these songs. During their regular shows, the only time they have a fifth musician onstage is when they perform the electric version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," which, of course, requires an "Eric Clapton" to play the lead guitar part. Other than that, the four musicians sing and play every note live onstage without help. Remember: The Beatles' later-era music wasn't intended to be performed live, so they used multiple tracks and overdubs to get the sound they wanted, meaning one Beatle could play more than one instrument in the studio recordings. However, even the Beatles themselves wouldn't have been able to reproduce those songs, as recorded, live onstage without additional musicians. The Fab Four play the vast majority of the Beatles' music with only four musicians onstage at any given time (with zero backing tracks and zero sequencers). In fact, what those four musicians accomplish onstage musically is nothing short of amazing!

I thought the Fab Four said they do everything on their own without any other people playing but I can see an extra person

But when Gavin's not onstage, the other George plays the electric guitar while some random guest or even George Trullinger plays the acoustic guitar.
