I was born the year this movie came out. I always figured that bit about Paul dying was a publicity stunt BUT I can't help wondering how he suddenly was able to play the piano and so forth. 🤔
This movie came out when I was in 7th grade. I took my very first date to the movie. All we had back then were tiny transistor radios with no mid or bass. Our home record players weren't much better. To hear the Beatles in concert for the first time with the movie theater sound system just blew us away. The bass was clear and really added to the sound of the guitars and drums. The volume was incredible and brought the music alive. I've never turned down music since.
I 'm from Australia and I had a rickenbacker like the one that George is playing. My father bought it for me, 250 Pounds. I sold it in 1970 for 5ive hundred dollars
What a glorious era that won’t return. The music was so simple yet so epic and so happy too. This warms my heart each time I listen to it. Lucky are the generations that lived at that time and grew up listening to them. There will never be another band like The Beatles. Pure genius.
Hey these four guys are my heroes. I have a similar temperament to John Lennon. I'm working on my guitar prowess. I think John, Paul George and Ringo were more than a three chord band. That's the popular opinion of jealous people. My comment is tempered with subjectivity and gratitude
A HARD DAY'S NIGHT movie facts: Did you know that 'If I Fell', 'And I Love Her', 'I'm So Happy Just To Dance With You' and the entire 'Finale' are all tuned down 1/2 step? Here is the reason why; The Beatles played all the songs in their proper keys. But when filming the scenes that had a t.v. monitor in it Richard Lester had to record the film at a 25 frames per second (to match the TV monitors in the film). Otherwise the picture on the monitor would have rolled and would not be in sync. But when the film was released it had to be slowed down to the standard 24 fps, which is standard all over the Europe and the U.S. So by filming those songs at 25fps and releasing them at 24 fps, the songs sound a half step lower. When filming 'If I Fell' there was a TV monitor in the scene, so it was filmed at 25fps. Therefore in the movie the song is in the key of Db instead of D. 'And I Love Her' had a tv monitor in the scene so it was also filmed at 25fps, therefore instead of being in the key of E, it comes out on the screen in Eb. The same for 'I'm So Happy Just To Dance With You' and the entire Finale including 'She Loves You' which comes out in Gb instead of G. If you notice, the first time The Beatles played 'I Should Have Known Better' while playing cards on the train, the song is in it's proper key of G. That's because there were no tv monitors in that scene so it was filmed at the regular 24fps. But during the Finale, it is in Gb. I painstakingly corrected all these keys but when I tried to post them on UA-cam they were deleted because of copyright. 😢
For someone who was always somewhat in the background, Ringo was one of the coolest. He was a genius drummer who put exactly what was needed in songs without adding too much unneeded junk.
j'ai rarement vu un batteur avec une telle souplesse de poignets ... On jurerait un percussionniste classique ayant fait , cool, ses études de percu au conservatoire ...
I agree as a drummer myself tec drumming is like karaoke learn a pattern and put it in as with ringo he played what he felt was needed for the fill and it worked no one talks about tec drummers they talk about ringos style a proper drummer
I agree - he would carry his Drums on a bus and move them himself at night in a rough neighborhood - Drummers may think that they are better - but the Beatles like him- [ I did get to meet Pete Best - he sat in front of us at a ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE show ] I didn't ask him who was the best - lol
Man, if someone wants to know what Beatlemania was all about, they should just watch this movie. It's all right there, the energy, the personalities, the humor. As someone born a few decades after they broke up, sometimes it's hard for me to believe that the Beatles actually happened, frankly.
Sometimes its hard for us who lived our teens through the Beatles era,, the way the world has moved since then, It seems The Blue Meanies won in the end,,( Yellow Submarine)
Man, when I was a little boy I would get seriously sad whenever I would see them go up in that helicopter at the end. I thought that's it, they're gone, and I don't know when they're going to be back on TV again. I mean, I literally read the TV Guide every single week just hoping. And when they came back on, the sun was shining again!
That's so true. Kids of today have NO idea. If you wanted to see their movie several times, you had to get permission from Mum and Dad, and the money to go !! Far as TV appearances, there was only the 're-runs' of TV shows in the summer to catch them again, and only if they repeated that particular episode ! You certainly couldn't buy copies of their movies like in later years on VHS or DVD, Blueray, or catch them like you can now on the internet on various sites, like You Tube, etc. !! It's such a special kind of joy to be able see them whenever we want to now. :)
I was 13 when I saw this movie On my cable TV Dish network The suckish part was, it was 1 Am showing At the time I know album, but not the movie so I not listening to my parents, I stayed up and watched it, never regret it lol The ending left me wanting to watch it over and over, have to wait until I'm 17 for that to happen, got the DVD
John, in his own way, loved the boys. He showed it differently by smiling, joking and making funny faces but his security was held tight by the boys. John also held the pressures of the CEO tightly.
Every time that I listen to the Beatles....they make me feel Happy.....and I’ve listened to them since I was 12 years old way back in 1962....my life just wouldn’t have been the same without them...Im a scouser and I’m so proud of them...
If you're an old fan like me, you saw this film at least 30 times when it came out. Refreshing happiness, happy lust. Oh, it was a fine time. Thanks to whoever put this together.

6:42 To the tall girl dancing; "Close your eyes and I'll kiss you." I've always been so glad I was born when I was, to be alive when this and all the other great music of our time actually happened- even though it will still be here forever.
I watched this movie in the cinema 📽️ so many times, 104 in fact, that I knew it by heart. Even what the fans were saying when in tears. Of course, I went to watch it at the 50th anniversary at the BFI. I also have a DVD and Blu-ray version and I never tire of watching them. Now, there are the memories - so precious. In the immortal words of my beloved John - In my life I love them all !
I consider "Cant' Buy Me Love" the first music video. There were previous films of musicians singing on stage, but nothing "impressionistic" of their music. MTV was officially begun in 1981, but AHDN held its real beginning in 1964.
Check out St James Infirmary Blues by Cab Calloway, Fleischer animation studios made a sort of music video/impressionistic rendition of the original Snow White folk tale to accompany the song and released it in 1933
I remember seeing the restored version of A Hard Day’s Night in the theater. It included the music that was cut from the movie plus it was in surround sound. It was sharper than 1080. Hard to believe the movie will be 60 years old next year. Great awesome music.
They were having so much fun. When I watched the movie years ago, I didn't see all the details, like where George thinks he can rest on the speaker behind him. The speaker tumbles and he simply walks away with a grin.
While filming, the kids were ordered that - in NO way - were they allowed to actually catch them ! Can you imagine even getting chosen to be an 'extra' in that film ?! Talk about the dream of ANY kid back then !!! :)
A young lady I went to visit in Liverpool in Dec. '81 arranged a night out for me with Cavern DJ Bob Wooler. We went to a few clubs that had live bands. Don't recall if he managed them. Wish I had pushed him a bit more to talk "Beatles", but I felt funny about it. The one thing I remember specifically asking him was about the time Lennon punched him out at McCartney's 21st birthday party. (I knew why it happened, but I wanted to hear it from him.) In his Liverpudlian accent (but not heavy Scouse), his answer was: "Well, you'll have to read my book."
You know that Phil Collins of Genesis made his first appearance when the camera pans to the audience during th. live spot . That little kid going crazy.
何回観ただろう､､、🥴 高校3年のとき、先輩の影響でヌマり学校をサボり親の目を盗み映画館へ通いました🤪 ワンシーンワンシーンが鮮明に思い出されます。 なかでも、And I love Herでポールの横顔がライトの逆光でシャドウに浮かび上がった時、観客の女性から一斉にあがった「キャ～❤」 男の私も鳥肌が立ちました😀 素敵な映像ありがとうございました🤗
One afternoon in 1976, in San Antonio Texas, a local theater had this as the matinee feature. At the end, the audience watched all the credits, the screen then went dark and the audience burst into spontaneous applause. Only time I ever saw an audience respond like that.
I agree whole heartedly! I recently heard someone say that this album had lots of filler on it, and that the first record of theirs that contained all hit single worthy material was Rubber Soul. I disagree. This, their 3rd album (the UK release) was all original Lennon/McCartney compositions and is such a delight to listen to. As much as I love Rubber Soul and all of their records, this one is probably the most fun. It also reminds me, as it does many of us who were young at the time, of the most innocent pleasures of our lives. I'm getting pretty old, but this takes me back. I don't live in the past, to be sure, but I do enjoy revisiting it from time to time.
OH what memories. I think I probably seen this 40 times in the theaters. Part of it was because the movie generated the same audience reaction as if it was a concert. It was electrifying. I tried explaining it to my young teen kids, they couldn't even comprehend what I was saying, guess you had to be there 🤣
I listened to the Beatles because my grandfather influenced me his favorite band, I wish I was alive at the 60’s because of my grandfather I appreciate the song of the beatles and I become a fan, even I was born in the early 2000, I love old music they have meaningful message in the song
On July 6, 2014, it was the 50th Anniversary of the London Premier of A Hard Day's Night, the movie was shown at the gorgeous Avalon Theatre on Santa Catalina Island. Everyone applauded after every song, it was a magical night. Pattie Boyd was a guest speaker at the end of the showing. She was great. She looked terrific. But there was one awkward moment when someone put the question to her: What is your favorite Beatles song?" There was a few moments of silence, and someone in the audience shouted out "Something?" And Pattie did not seem to get that the person meant the song titled "Something" (which, of course, was written about her.) Awkward indeed, as if she had forgotten the song. But anyway, it was a great way to spend an evening on Catalina!
I think she might have frozen and just have been telling to herself "just don't say 'Here Comes the Sun', just don't say 'Here Comes the Sun'". Because, you know...
I think when I was a baby, my favorite song was And I Love Her. I think that was because it sounded slightly different in the movie than it does on the album. And probably because of the tune.
0:06 seriously, George literally face-plants on the sidewalk, watch how hard he falls and his head bouncing off the sidewalk. That couldn’t have felt good, and John’s laughing hysterically, haha! Poor George.
I love Ringo on the dancefloor teaching the other dancers his moves - just joyous. If you ever feel down, watch that bit and I guarantee you'll feel a bit (maybe a lot) better.
the Beatles forever. I'm happy I live almost when the Beatles were on stage, never forgive that Lennon was killed, I've came to Dakota pavement to feel his soul, always with the Beatles.
I first saw this movie in a theater with my parents when I was five or six years old. The music still sounds wonderful even almost 60 years later. (I’m writing this in October 2023). Bonus for George Harrison is that he met his future wife, Patty Boyd on the set of this movie. Patti Boyd said one line in the movie. Upon being introduced to several people in the cage, she responded “prisoners?“ That was right before when they sang “I should have known better“
4:32 I don't know where I heard this, I think it was Roger Ebert, but it is at this point on the train where Pati Boyd's uncontrolled, almost orgasmic, reaction to John's solo truly shows the joyful yet subtle power of what would be The Beatles.
Who could have predicted that 4 working class kids from Liverpool would end up changing the world and creating a musical and cultural Revolution? No one could have predicted it! And their legacy has lasted and will continue. And they made it look so easy! Like million selling singles just pour out effortlessly. Maybe for them it did!
Reading some of these comments, i don't see how anybody could get so negative about anybody who says something positive about how the Beatles inspired or affected them. The Beatles are the healthy part of nostalgia. Nostalgia can be an illusive thing. i remember how i felt when they came on the scene. It wasn't long after Kennedy's assassination 60 years from today. I felt the pain even as a 7 year old, so i was happy to rub my tummy pretending to play guitar and lip-synch to "I Wanna Hold Your Hand."
I am old enough to remember music before the Beatles . But when I first heard them around Spring 1963 I fell under the spell of the Fab Four. But I think it was the "hard day's night album" and film that first showed their utter brilliance and genius. The tracks on that album are a quantum leap above anything they released in 1962 /63. "and I love her " is still my favourite Beatles track but "If I fell " is fantastic as well.
Didnt care for the film but loving this collage...more palatable. The script & acting kinda was a drag. Still greatest band ever & love seeing how beautiful George's ex wife was when he fell for her.
My mother introduced me to this movie when I was maybe around 10 (so 2011 ish) and I just watched it again for the first time since then and I was just smiling the whole time and sang along to all the songs. Even ones I hadn’t heard in a while like And I love her and I should have known better all came naturally to me. I think that just proves how eternal The Beatles music is and they’ll always be on of my favorite bands because of that! John, Paul, George, and Ringo forever!
In the scene featuring “All My Loving”, the guy dancing and jumping with Ringo is Jeremy Lloyd. He was part of the cast of Laugh In in 1969, and co created the sitcom “Are You Being Served?”
Total and abject joy. That's what this movie is. I saw this movie first in 1964 and I've always been amazed that George and Ringo face planted into the cement sidewalk while running from screaming fans in the opening scene yet they jumped right up and kept running, all the while with a smile on their faces and even laughing... although you can actually see George looking at his left hand twice in the last second or two of the scene.
Gee, seeing clips like this make me realise just how great they were. They were living legends n rightly so. I was 10 when they hit the scene n now I’m almost 70 n they were a group that made us all so happy. A once in a lifetime group that I doubt very much they will ever be matched. All these years later n so many bands are trying to do covers on them . They were unique in that they sounded just as good when doing LIVE performances. Can’t say that about todays bands. We who grew up in the 60’s were so privileged
My first Bestles movie in the 1960es. I was teenager and solo guitar player in our school rockband in South Germany. It was unbelievable to me, the Bestles!
The instruments shown are: John: Rickenbacker 325 (DB122), Gibson J160e (his second one) Paul: Hofner 500/1 George: Rickenbacker 360/12 (CM103), Ramirez classical guitar, Gibson J160e Ringo: Ludwig Super Classic with drop T logo number 3. Look carefully in the background during If I Fell and you'll see the flat grey cases that the two Rickenbackers come in. There's Vox AC30 and bass amps there too but notice how their fronts aren't shown.

Paul’s OTHER grandfather, and he is quite clean.

THIS.
That was hands down one of the funniest moments in the movie.
The part where George falls at the beginning is so funny 😂
It wasn’t planned. He actually did fall
And he took Ringo to the ground with him.
He really did fall intentionally and I left it in the movie he ripped his suit
In the scene if I fell song
He nearly fell over a amplifier as he bends to the side of it
That too was not planned
There were some mishaps that were left in the film, it gives it a little more realistic feel.
This movie came out when I was in 7th grade. I took my very first date to the movie. All we had back then were tiny transistor radios with no mid or bass. Our home record players weren't much better.

I remember seeing the restored version of A Hard Day’s Night in the theater. It included the music that was cut from the movie plus it was in surround sound. It was sharper than 1080. Hard to believe the movie will be 60 years old next year. Great awesome music.
They were having so much fun. When I watched the movie years ago, I didn't see all the details, like where George thinks he can rest on the speaker behind him. The speaker tumbles and he simply walks away with a grin.
Man! All that running. The Beatles were in great shape!
While filming, the kids were ordered that - in NO way - were they allowed to actually catch them ! Can you imagine even getting chosen to be an 'extra' in that film ?! Talk about the dream of ANY kid back then !!! :)
Grew up during the 1960's and teenager in early 70s. It never occurred to any of us that music would do anything but get better and better.
The energy of the young Beatles is so obvious here. Their stage shows at the Cavern must have been explosive!
The early Beatles Rule Across the Universe"
They were. One of them was videoed and is on UA-cam.
A young lady I went to visit in Liverpool in Dec. '81 arranged a night out for me with Cavern DJ Bob Wooler. We went to a few clubs that had live bands. Don't recall if he managed them. Wish I had pushed him a bit more to talk "Beatles", but I felt funny about it. The one thing I remember specifically asking him was about the time Lennon punched him out at McCartney's 21st birthday party. (I knew why it happened, but I wanted to hear it from him.) In his Liverpudlian accent (but not heavy Scouse), his answer was: "Well, you'll have to read my book."

初めてビートルズをラジオから聴いて、いつの間にやらおばあさんになってしまいました。
正に青春時代そのものです❤️
I used to sing along to And I Love Her when I was a baby. It’s still my favorite song.
WOW “AND I LOVE HER” SOUNDS REALLY GOOD AT THAT PITCH
You know that Phil Collins of Genesis made his first appearance when the camera pans to the audience during th. live spot . That little kid going crazy.
何回観ただろう､､、🥴
高校3年のとき、先輩の影響でヌマり学校をサボり親の目を盗み映画館へ通いました🤪
ワンシーンワンシーンが鮮明に思い出されます。
なかでも、And I love Herでポールの横顔がライトの逆光でシャドウに浮かび上がった時、観客の女性から一斉にあがった「キャ～❤」
男の私も鳥肌が立ちました😀
素敵な映像ありがとうございました🤗
Every song an absolute gem …they were just in a perfect place at a perfect time such pure talent and fun
One afternoon in 1976, in San Antonio Texas, a local theater had this as the matinee feature. At the end, the audience watched all the credits, the screen then went dark and the audience burst into spontaneous applause. Only time I ever saw an audience respond like that.
31 minutes and it's an optimistic day in 1964 again.
Not a bad song on that album. It still sounds great today, probably tomorrow and later on.
I agree whole heartedly! I recently heard someone say that this album had lots of filler on it, and that the first record of theirs that contained all hit single worthy material was Rubber Soul. I disagree. This, their 3rd album (the UK release) was all original Lennon/McCartney compositions and is such a delight to listen to. As much as I love Rubber Soul and all of their records, this one is probably the most fun. It also reminds me, as it does many of us who were young at the time, of the most innocent pleasures of our lives. I'm getting pretty old, but this takes me back. I don't live in the past, to be sure, but I do enjoy revisiting it from time to time.
I bought this album off my brother for sixpence in 1966 ,best album ever
@@noelbenson7477 that sounds like a Roadside Antique story...your 6 pence paid itself off long ago. I miss living in England.
OH what memories. I think I probably seen this 40 times in the theaters. Part of it was because the movie generated the same audience reaction as if it was a concert. It was electrifying. I tried explaining it to my young teen kids, they couldn't even comprehend what I was saying, guess you had to be there 🤣
Show your kids Help! and the Concert Videos.
O for a time machine to go back George was so good looking 😊
I listened to the Beatles because my grandfather influenced me his favorite band, I wish I was alive at the 60’s because of my grandfather I appreciate the song of the beatles and I become a fan, even I was born in the early 2000, I love old music they have meaningful message in the song

On July 6, 2014, it was the 50th Anniversary of the London Premier of A Hard Day's Night, the movie was shown at the gorgeous Avalon Theatre on Santa Catalina Island. Everyone applauded after every song, it was a magical night. Pattie Boyd was a guest speaker at the end of the showing. She was great. She looked terrific. But there was one awkward moment when someone put the question to her: What is your favorite Beatles song?" There was a few moments of silence, and someone in the audience shouted out "Something?" And Pattie did not seem to get that the person meant the song titled "Something" (which, of course, was written about her.) Awkward indeed, as if she had forgotten the song. But anyway, it was a great way to spend an evening on Catalina!
What! Delayed too much releasing it :/
I think she might have frozen and just have been telling to herself "just don't say 'Here Comes the Sun', just don't say 'Here Comes the Sun'". Because, you know...
@@truecamvidea5881 Why is that?
@@ninarances9074 Here comes the sun was written at Clapton's house. Clapton is her second husband...
@@truecamvidea5881 Oh ok, I could see why she didn't say 'Here Comes The Sun'. That would've been really awkward.
私この映画、100回みました😅。
I think when I was a baby, my favorite song was And I Love Her. I think that was because it sounded slightly different in the movie than it does on the album. And probably because of the tune.
@Jizelle Urquidez I like long tall sally
0:06 seriously, George literally face-plants on the sidewalk, watch how hard he falls and his head bouncing off the sidewalk. That couldn’t have felt good, and John’s laughing hysterically, haha! Poor George.
And Ringo falling on top of him...
This song is so phenomenal and so are our beloved Beatles. They do such a good job❤
I love Ringo on the dancefloor teaching the other dancers his moves - just joyous.
If you ever feel down, watch that bit and I guarantee you'll feel a bit (maybe a lot) better.
When I try to think of it, I can't think of anyone who has brought more joy to the world.
the Beatles forever. I'm happy I live almost when the Beatles were on stage, never forgive that Lennon was killed, I've came to Dakota pavement to feel his soul, always with the Beatles.
Magical charm activated ...
At 17:01 I always wondered what made John laugh. Maybe Ringo was making faces? I wish Paul or Ringo would shed some light someday. 🤔🤔🤔
I first saw this movie in a theater with my parents when I was five or six years old. The music still sounds wonderful even almost 60 years later. (I’m writing this in October 2023). Bonus for George Harrison is that he met his future wife, Patty Boyd on the set of this movie. Patti Boyd said one line in the movie. Upon being introduced to several people in the cage, she responded “prisoners?“ That was right before when they sang “I should have known better“
wata a amazing time to live in wish i was there
4:32 I don't know where I heard this, I think it was Roger Ebert, but it is at this point on the train where Pati Boyd's uncontrolled, almost orgasmic, reaction to John's solo truly shows the joyful yet subtle power of what would be The Beatles.
TOO FUNNY 🍌
This movie is one of my earliest childhood memories. We had it on VHS, and a Lionel Ritchie Pepsi commercial followed. Still one of my favorites!
Who could have predicted that 4 working class kids from Liverpool would end up changing the world and creating a musical and cultural Revolution? No one could have predicted it! And their legacy has lasted and will continue. And they made it look so easy! Like million selling singles just pour out effortlessly. Maybe for them it did!
Yeah!
They were really revolutionaries ...
Even not knowing about that !
@@gersonthadeuferreira4600 Well, its over now.
Wouldn’t happened without Brian Epstein, their Manager.

Wrong; The Beatles Magic is still happening with the younger generations!
Man. Lennon was right. even in '64: ALL YOU NEED IS ❤ LOVE!
The Can't Buy Me Love scene is great and funny!

this is my biggest comfort movie
This is one of my favourite movies of all time I miss them so much
Reading some of these comments, i don't see how anybody could get so negative about anybody who says something positive about how the Beatles inspired or affected them. The Beatles are the healthy part of nostalgia. Nostalgia can be an illusive thing. i remember how i felt when they came on the scene. It wasn't long after Kennedy's assassination 60 years from today. I felt the pain even as a 7 year old, so i was happy to rub my tummy pretending to play guitar and lip-synch to "I Wanna Hold Your Hand."
Beatlemania never ended !
I am old enough to remember music before the Beatles . But when I first heard them around Spring 1963 I fell under the spell of the Fab Four.
But I think it was the "hard day's night album" and film that first showed their utter brilliance and genius.
The tracks on that album are a quantum leap above anything they released in 1962 /63.
"and I love her " is still my favourite Beatles track but "If I fell " is fantastic as well.
Greatest songs of all time. Full stop.
Didnt care for the film but loving this collage...more palatable. The script & acting kinda was a drag. Still greatest band ever & love seeing how beautiful George's ex wife was when he fell for her.
Wow... the best 30-minute music-video, in the history of modern music... Fantastic...!
The Greatest band Ever
Beatlemania.. in These Times in the 60s. Amazing
My mother introduced me to this movie when I was maybe around 10 (so 2011 ish) and I just watched it again for the first time since then and I was just smiling the whole time and sang along to all the songs. Even ones I hadn’t heard in a while like And I love her and I should have known better all came naturally to me. I think that just proves how eternal The Beatles music is and they’ll always be on of my favorite bands because of that!
John, Paul, George, and Ringo forever!
Beatles for ever.....from chile.
I love this film
Look at that 62 tweed stratocaster case!!!!
Thank you for putting this together, its the Beatles at their best, in the best years

“A HARD DAY’S NIGHT” 🎵🎼
He's very clean though.
Wilfred Bramble played Paul’s 2nd Grandfather in the Movie 😉
Beatles forever
1:37 damn Paul is a genius it’s a clever move so he doesn’t have to run😂
Given the chance, I still wanna go back to the 60s. Who cares about cell phones, FB, and the Internet anyway.
She love you first song I ever heard
I think help was mine
Hard Day Night and I Want to Hold Your Hand. 😻
In the scene featuring “All My Loving”, the guy dancing and jumping with Ringo is Jeremy Lloyd. He was part of the cast of Laugh In in 1969, and co created the sitcom “Are You Being Served?”
And my all time fave - Allo, Allo.
Wow! 😎
Total and abject joy. That's what this movie is. I saw this movie first in 1964 and I've always been amazed that George and Ringo face planted into the cement sidewalk while running from screaming fans in the opening scene yet they jumped right up and kept running, all the while with a smile on their faces and even laughing... although you can actually see George looking at his left hand twice in the last second or two of the scene.
Gee, seeing clips like this make me realise just how great they were. They were living legends n rightly so. I was 10 when they hit the scene n now I’m almost 70 n they were a group that made us all so happy. A once in a lifetime group that I doubt very much they will ever be matched. All these years later n so many bands are trying to do covers on them . They were unique in that they sounded just as good when doing LIVE performances. Can’t say that about todays bands. We who grew up in the 60’s were so privileged
Interesting to see buildings that were bombed in WWII, this was 1965.
My first Bestles movie in the 1960es. I was teenager and solo guitar player in our school rockband in South Germany. It was unbelievable to me, the Bestles!
The instruments shown are:
John: Rickenbacker 325 (DB122), Gibson J160e (his second one)
Paul: Hofner 500/1
George: Rickenbacker 360/12 (CM103), Ramirez classical guitar, Gibson J160e
Ringo: Ludwig Super Classic with drop T logo number 3.
Look carefully in the background during If I Fell and you'll see the flat grey cases that the two Rickenbackers come in.
There's Vox AC30 and bass amps there too but notice how their fronts aren't shown.
The boys first foray into film. Their first is priceless to every Beatle fan.
