- All the available footage from this mostly lost BBC TV performance. I have used the best audio sources available and fixed certain glitchy segments with clean audio. Around the first two minutes are fragments of audience shots, but the rest is very clean and enjoyable footage.

The Beatles, who began their career playing in a cellar called "The Cavern" ended up to be the greatest selling act in show biz history.
They went from the cellar to the rooftop
A month or so before that performance in Liverpool, I first heard The Beatles perform a pirated radio broadcast of I Wanna Hold Your Hand in my college dorm room in Illinois. They sounded unlike anything EVER heard before over here. I'll always remember that initial positive impression.
Which is interesting Kevin, as a few months prior (September 1963) George Harrison was in Illinois for 2 weeks on holiday visiting his sister (before The Beatles were known in America) - you might have been able to cross paths with him!!!
@@Borella309 That recording might've been the result of Louise Harrison Caldwell (George's much older sister) in trying to promote the (unknown) Beatles and to get their music played on radio stations. Louise worked with manager Brian Epstein on publicity, but very little airplay of any Beatles records in 1963 US. George was interviewed at radio WFRX during that September 1963 visit.

WOW just Wow.. I'm 70 have have NEVER see this before.. Moms & Dads with their Kids appreciating this British "Tsunami" that was about to hit The World. The Newness of this Mass hysteria was so evident. You can tell the Fab 4 was just soakin it all in. This really was a Rock n Roll Honeymoon back then..
I love seeing the different reactions of the parents in the audience …some grooving with the music, someone with fingers on her ears, some somber, some just sitting back enjoying the scene.
I still remember the overpowering sense of excitement they created, those years, their sound and their charisma was unlike anything that went before, it's hard for younger people now to imagine that, because they influenced music till today, and set the new norm.
Good to see this. thank you
Younger people still experience Beatlemania in their own time. I know I did. I know my son did.
We were in Mourning of losing out Nations Hero JFK, just weeks before, the Beatles took ouir minds
off that terrible time, and got us through that year
They worked, practiced, and paid their dues to get where they got!
Playing in dingy, low-light clubs as The Cavern or those in Germany, France, etc., also got them the bright lights (literally)!
Loved watching this!! Takes me back. Blessed to have grown up with the fun, beautiful , talented Beatles❣️
Me too!!
I had just turned two years old two days before. This chaos would escalate to a much larger scale two months later when the Beatles arrived in New York City. I will never get tired of watching this kind of footage and listening to Beatles music…ever!
Paul was only 21 and george was 20. Amazing stuff.
The Beatles - Coming from a small club in Liverpool, England called the Cavern, ended up to be the greatest selling act in show biz history.
Most influential, but with more people now they are surpassed in raw numbers of albums (singles) sold? But not in percentages, which is the standard they probably set in surpassing Elvis. Taylor Swift recently broke what was long considered the unbreakable record of their songs in the Top 5 on The Billboard Hot 100 (Apr. 4, 1964; with 12 total in the Top 100) but Taylor had 10 in the Top 10, a clean sweep!
AdamBound thank you for all your hard work to keep Beatles music alive for all us crazy Senior Citizens!!!!
In these early live tracks, Harrison tone on the guitar was just magnificent. He gave the band a full, massive sound. Excellent work George!!!
A lot of those kids are either in their late 70's or older. now..Most probably passed on, especially the adults...For those kids, that was the summer of their youth that I wish I was born in...And The Beatles live on, even when we're all gone..
I am one of those in their 70s and my love and appreciation for the Beatles has not diminished any whatsoever. I still enjoy their music as much as I ever did.
I'm in my mid-70s. I was 17 in 1964. I've loved them from day one ♥
I wore out my Beatles records 😉
Forever young ♥️
The Beatles, the greatest band on earth!
Lol
SI , SI LO ES!!!!!!!

Fun to re-live what they were at the beginning. I recall wearing the vinyl out from playing their albums over and over and over and over.... such great times !
I still have my vj album of theirs....the entire first side barely plays
The magic is still there. I was 12 years old when they first came to American audiences and why, so many of us boys decided we had to learn guitar.
I was 13 and got my aunt’s guitar to learn on Monday 2/10/64, the day after the Beatles’ first Sullivan show. And still playing every day. Thanks George.
And I'll bet there were millions who started growing their hair long, to the consternation of their parents, and maybe some girls!
Ditto. I was 12, and all the guys got Beatle boots right after they were on Ed Sullivan.
Terrific footage, thanks for the memories. Audience reaction is so very good to watch, it was never seen before and you`ll never see it again. What is it about their music that generates that appeal? A package of a new type of beat, melody and musicianship and good looking boys....note the girl audience.
Looks like hair curlers were definitely the in thing!
The clips of the 4 lads are definitely worth waiting for, and I have never seen a better performance of I Wanna Hold Your Hand! Their rise to world domination is mindblowing. These chopped up film clips, some tatty and riddled with interference, strung together to make a video, are, in spite of all that, absolutely priceless!!!
I was 14 at the time this event happened... by the time I was 16 1/2 I was playing guitar in a band...inspirational they were... and damn good !
My 10th 🎂🎉.... NEVER stopped loving them💖🇺🇸🦋🌹 Britain 🇬🇧...made THEM 🇺🇸💖....and 2 months 2 days later.... THE ENTIRE 🌎🌍 would go INSANE.... Beatlemania WAS VERY REAL 💖🇺🇸🇬🇧🌹🦋
Beatlemania pura! Gracias por compartir este grandioso video,saludos desde Querétaro, México 👋
6:59 that's the best thing of this video 😍
AMEN....!!!!
I like 8:10 ☺
11:39
I envy everyone in the audience and thank you for sharing your Beatles with the world.
Surprised how many moms and dads in the audience with their daughters. Kind of like me taking my daughter to a boy band concert in the 90s. (Definitely wish I was watching anything like the Beatles back then.)
I took my daughters to Justin Bieber. The screaming girls gave me a hearing loss equal to Ted Nugent when I was much younger.
The shots of the Beatles on stage was filmed at The Little Theatre in Southport Lancashire and added to the film
Two months later they were off to America and the world!
Fabulous stuff..!!...No fancy backing tracks...sound effects...guitar pedals...in those days..!!!...Friends of mine went to see Pink Floyd..asked security guy to get their program autographed...and asked could they play the tune " Breathe ".....comes back with said autographed program...very kind...but said...Floyd can't play Breathe tonight.....It's not in the computers....!!!??!!!
best version ever of "money" , no one will ever perform this song like that.
16 months earlier they were in Hamburg, Pete Best was still the drummer and Ringo was still with Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. Talk about whirlwind success.
I'm from Liverpool
and the Tavistock
had already *got*
them.
Great slice of history.
Great slice of history and I ate all the slices.
Early videotape! It's a shame they didn't get more! The sound was perfect for back then.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing!
The days when the Bands played all the local town theaters and in some cases cinemas
This is perhaps late 63 and no other British Group could compete with the combined talent of The Beatles. The Dave Clark 5 were raw and hard driving but lacked The Beatles musicality. The Rolling Stones were much better than Clarke but lacked the vocal harmonies and songwriting skills of The Beatles thought they may have been more exciting on stage. But overall The Beatles were miles ahead of even lots of American performers. These guys have been together by 64 since the mid 1950s so they had the skills already and they were tight.
George Harrison foi guitarrista esplêndido! A variação dos solos sempre sem exageros! Tecnico, Criativo, sempre na hora certa elevando o valor das músicas!
there was something, a force behind that band I don't know what it is but we're lucky to have some footage
Úžasné 👏👏🤩❤✌️ Beatles jsou fantastičtí!!💯❤❤
Paul McCartney projects gracefulness naturally while John Lennon projects Electrical tension naturally where the push and pull of energies between the 2 pillars of the Beatles formed the foundation of the Greatest Band in the World.
Music gold. Amazing to dip back in time.
Also incredible how some people complain. Probably haven't even clocked it's pre colour. It was another world then. Get a grip.
classy, elegant, and smooth, such a great time
I was only 2 years old then. i only came to know the fab 4 in '78 and it changed my life.
Vintage Beatles, So Iconic
❤ great performance the Beatles did
Это легендарная была группа, их песни не только их и нас переживут, их всегда будут слушать как тогда в далёкие 60 е-годы.
I believe, the cameraman or probably more the director of this video did not like John very much. You always just see him more from the distance.
The whole video is very special with the camera going to the audience all the time. Super- very special ❤
Looks like a nice theater and stage.
THESE “ FAB FOUR” AT THIS TIME, ARE STARTING TO HIT THE TOP OF THE MUSIC WORLD.
The day I was born, Dec 7, 1963.
Grande apresentação dos besouros! 😊👏👏👏👏
Incredible!! I hadn't seen this footage ever before. Brilliant!
Great Job! Congratulations and thank you!!!
The Big Bang of rock and roll 🎸
I luv this
The youngster at 8:33 is probably wondering what the fuss and noise is about! It’s about an incredible phenomenon the world has never seen before - BEATLEMANIA!
Great upload.
sound system was small and barely adequate, amazing how little they had to work with to do live shows
Они и сейчас со мной ежедневно,вечером после трудного дня я послушав пару их вещей и снова молод и бодр,ОНИ ВЕЧНЫ И ЖИВЫ ДЛЯ МЕНЯ,ВСЕГДА!!!
Dare I say the reactions to The Beatles are is good as The Beatles themselves!
Magical
Saw then do the same show at the Finsbury park Astoria aka the rainbow Finsbury Park North London 63 Beatles Christmas Show with Cilla, Baron Knight's, Billy j Kramer, Tommy Quickly, The Four Most, and Rolf Harris who was the compare, I'm bleedin 70 now lol
E eu ainda agora me emociono novamente!!!
Funny how they seemed to break into a transition from the hook to "From Me to You" to the Harry Lime theme at the end.
Apple strike again. "you cant do that" . I recall in the early 70's complaining that when they showed The Beatles on TV, you could only see five seconds cos of Apple, and 50 years on, its still a problem!
Então eu tinha 13 anos de idade. E gostava uma barbaridade de musica.
I was seven years old. ☺️
7 years separate to the day separate the first and last "together" photo of the final line up of the Beatles. Yet Oasis have a 15 year gap between the last two live performances. The Beatles dropped away from live to focus on records and studio. Today the money is in live performances. oh how times are a changing.
Strangest camera work ever. John is singing lead on Money and Twist and Shout they show the audience, Paul, George and Ringo constantly but never John
It's hard to imagine that this was being filmed just within a couple of weeks after the assassination of President Kennedy in America.
We first saw them on American TV in the first week of February 1964.
Brian Wilson of The Beach boys later said, that when he saw them that night on Ed Sullivan it was like seeing the presence of God in the form of four boys on a stage.
I asked many people today that were my age, nine and a half, when we saw them on that night on The Ed Sullivan show, now at age 68 today, do you know what happened just two and a half months before we first saw the Beatles that night on Ed Sullivan?
Most people today cannot put it into a historical or chronological context, when I mention to them that President Kennedy was just assassinated and the whole world was in a state of mourning.
It was as if the Beatles were four angels that came down from England to cheer the world up.
The timing couldn't have been more important then.
This is what's hard to describe to the younger generation today, of what it was like to live back in that era and experience it.
It was a much different experience as live, to be living then, than just watching a replay of some short videos today.
My brother and I made up cardboard mock guitars with kite string and pretended that we were lip syncing to the first new Beatles Album, Meet The Beatles. A friend of ours came over to do this with us he later told his mother that Mark seibel showed him how to play Beatles music on a cardboard guitar so she said I'll get you a real one and send you the music school. He's a famous blues guitar player still today in Portland and travels the world.
This was just one example that the effect of the Beatles had on us.
I told the story on national public radio's talk of the Nation discussion program when they interviewed Aimee Mann, but I believe June 4 th 2007 I was the second to call in and speak to her these are all archived and the NPR site by date and title of the discussions.
This was the 40th anniversary of the Sergeant Pepper's album release. You can search and listen to it.

During these live concerts especially in 1963, why do the cameras always focus on Paul and George in harmony and doing backup vocals with very little (if any) close ups of John even though he is singing lead locals? More attention is put on the audience than John.
I don't think there were any camera rehearsals back then. They had rehearsals for the Ed Sullivan Show, but I'm thinking they did not for anything before that. I remember seeing an early performance of Money and they did not show John singing one time during the performance. It wouldn't have taken a genius to figure out who was singing, but that's the way it was.
Great bass playing on 'boys' there
I hope the full footage is found
I don't know why they show Paul and George way more than they do with John.
Cause ‘He’s a Loser’
it has been 60 years
It's very long time ~~~~~~
Anyone else spot "a Wee Beatle Gaffe" around 9.31 secs when they were singing Twist&Shout"??
A few. Seems John had trouble remembering his own lyrics or singing them out of order, giving Paul and George a hard time.
@@andrewlankford9634
His own lyrics 😆
Thats not what George Martin famously "said
he got the writers in..
so it was tavistock all the way and past 66 *NOT* 🍓👁️👎
fields for ever.......♾️
@@amarshmuseconcepta6197 The whole Tavistock myth is infantile rubbish. They simply copied and pasted the style of music and lyrics from the other great Merseyside band of the time: The Rutles. Nasty and Stig both spoke openly about it, before and after Stig's death. If Leggy Mountabottom hadn't suddenly emigrated to Australia we would be cheering on Nasty, Dirk, Stig and Barry, not JPG&R. It's all there in the documentary All You Need is Cash.
0:24 I thought girls took the things used to curl their hair out before going out?
They were still using those plastic curlers in the 80's.
@@andrewlankford9634 Yeah, the 80's was the "big hair" era. Some probably still use them, but in the 80's they didn't wear the things out in public.
Maura Bedolla y Yolanda Franco de Villa Morelos y Huandacareo Alejandra Caballero y Angie Caballero y Neli Caballero
They played The Third Man’s theme!!😁
This is really sad. This was 17 years ago in 1980 a day before john lennon was killed
The English girls were for the most part very young! 12-15?
The title of your video should be fans reacting to the Beatles Live at the Empire Theater.
0:17 is this a hair or a hat
2 min and 22 sec then you finally see the Beatles.....what's with smippets of the songs...I can recall better clips in my mind...without the edits and cuts between songs.
E Deus criou os Beatles.
E perdeu a fórmula! rsrs
I was there
Me too! I was 6, right at the top back and couldn't understand all the screaming, could hardly hear them!!
En este video George Harrison,era el mas desarrollado en ese momento estaba mal alto que Johnn y Paul ,y luego ya crecieron mucho mas Johnn y Paul llegando a los 180 m de estatura ,bueno pero los beatles siempre serán los beatles 🎉❤
Когда это недавно было...
Great vid but why didn’t you do any multi cams?
I was there 7.25 with newly striaghtened hair and huge teeth - the show ended with "Juke Box Jury"
How wonderful!
And to think of all these screaming young girls are in their 70s now. I hope they're smiling.
I wonder how many of those lasses looked back at themselves and said how silly and ridiculous we were...
Passion is not silly or ridiculous. It is a wonderful thing. They were having the time of their lives.
I would imagine none of them said that.
El mayor espectáculo está en el público.
Oh I get it. I see, so it requires an utterance of SHUT UP! from John in order to get just one , just one close up shot of him.?
If this is 1963 I wasn't even a twinkle in anyones eyes yet😮😅
John flubbing the lyrics to "Twist and Shout" and already not giving a f*ck. That whole "We'll play you out" with an instrumental version of "From Me To You" at the end was pretty bad. The curtain guy was asleep at the switch!
In the UK the Beatles had 69 weeks at number one, in America they have 20 #1 singles and 19 #1 albums. something like 34 top 10 hits and about 13-15 additional albums that made the top 10. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988, and each principal member was individually inducted between 1994 and 2015. In 2004 and 2011, the group topped Rolling Stone's lists of the greatest artists in history. Time magazine named them among the 20th century's 100 most important people.
The Rolling Stones were never in the race. And....Bob Dylan is way over rated, he is a nobody
Why does the audience always clap off beat? Instead of the backbeat. They dont have a clue
For once a real video tape.
RIP Ringo's mic.
most of that audience would be mid to late seventies now.
