yea, It amuses me how often the engineers doing early live Beatles recordings forgot to put Ringo's mic into the mix. I understand that they would have kept it off to stop drums from the vocal mic ending up on the whole recording, but they frequently forgot to tun it on for Ringo's vocal turn.
Almost 60 years since this performance. And although I first watched & was mesmerized by them when as a 12 y/o on Ed Sullivan (in real time) on TV, listening to their playing & singing still has a hypnotic & magical effect on me - all these decades later ♥️

Although we Yanks were a bit clueless about The Beatles in December, 1963, anticipation was really building in January 1964 leading up to their appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in February. The Beatles were like a tsunami when they invaded America. They paved the way for the British Invasion.
They're so good it's not even funny. They are professional working musicians in a way that barely exists now ... at least not among names people have heard of. They're dead in tune, though there's no way in hell that they can actually hear each other. Mega raw talent, rehearsed and gigged relentlessly ... and the material, of course.
I was 10 years old at the time and saw the concert live on the BBC. It actually changed my life! Paul’s (inadvertent) bass solo in ‘Boys’ inspired me to start playing bass guitar. I’m now 71 and have been a pro bass player all my life in all parts of the world (and still playing regularly 5 nights a week!). Many thanks for your inspiration, Macca, and thanks for depriving me of retirement 😊😊.
Always in tune, always in key, always on the beat, always in a good mood, always getting the best sound possible from terrible equipment. The bass on "Boys" is terrific for example.
Their equipment wasn't terrible, as a matter of fact, their equipment is top notch even at todays standards and highly sought after. The only issue the Beatles had was the equipment wasn't powerful enough to cut through 50,000+ screaming girls..lol
At the time, The Beatles were performing mostly in theaters containing a stage, a proscenium, and a curtain. The band would begin playing before the curtain raised, so the audience of frenzied teens could hear the group but not see them. Then, as the vocals began, the curtain would be slowly drawn up, revealing the band from their Cuban-heeled boots to their mop-top haircuts. The effect was electric.

So glad to hear this boy live, the 3 parts harmony... They probably didn't listen themselves properly and there are a bunch of mistakes, but it makes the performance more beautiful in a weird and fragile way.
They didn't have any stage monitors to hear themselves back in 1963. They sang through the house PA system and all they heard was screaming let alone hear themselves singing.
@@FuturCrayon It's even worse in an enclosed space. The sound reverberates around the room. That's why theatres have curtains to help absorb the the soundwaves.
The energy is out-of-this-world. No wonder the Beatles conquered the planet. Quite the departure from the "Bobby's - Bobby Vinton, Bobby Daren, Bobby Vee, Bobby Curtola, Bobby Rydell...
I was a teenager in that era. To me, all the "Bobbys" were very much middle of the road crap compared to the earlier rockers, Elvis, Chuck, Little Richard, Buddy, Eddie, etc. Dion was a little bit more harder edged than those Bobbys. The Beatles put the rock back into rock n roll.
I was 10 back then. Now 70. Nothing in 60 years compares to the excitement of Beatle Mania I lived with back then. When I listen to them today, my Beatle Mania comes back.
Call this is a fabulous performance. So many nuances, especially in the singing of several of the songs. You can certainly tell they couldn’t hear themselves, but overall such excitement and perfection!
I recall Jack Parr showing video from what must have been this in December 1963...specifically, I remember 'She Loves You' and maybe 'I Want to Hold Your Hand'...which was 2 months before the famous appearance on Ed Sullivan's show. Thanks for posting.
I was six years old when the Beatles hit the United States. Anything I can listen to that came before February 9, 1964 is gold to me. I grew up with black and white TVs, phonograph record players that needed, an adapter to play 45s. With really small speakers… I can handle anything… The energy that the Beatles produce overcomes anything… It’s nice to hear some imperfections.
They were never formerly trained singers but they harmonized very very well. I remember them at first on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964 as I was a teen back then.
That closing jingle they did, based on the riff of "From Me to You", was a great treat. Did you notice that as it was ending George threw in part of the theme from "The Third Man"? Very fun.
The Beatles used to play the Third Man theme when they backed up strippers in Hamburg, and John plays it in the Peter Jackson film Get Back. I love it too !
What a wonderful introduction to the Beatles and all my favorite songs are on this album oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah. These Lads are not shy when on stage singing and playing their assess of and enjoying every minute of it or every second of it

this is one of the "roughest" versions of Roll over Beethoven I ever heard George sing in the many live performances available on youtube.. // and the confusion/mix-up in the lyrics of Twist and Shout shows: even the Beatles are only human
This is every bit as good as The Rutles at Albert Hall, or any of The Monkees live shows at broken down fairgrounds long after their star had faded. These boys were more than just those trousers.
It's great to hear John's voice recorded louder than Paul's when they're doing harmonies, because usually, on the records, Paul's higher voice tends to drown John's out. A+ for George's spot-on harmonies on All My Loving. The guy could do everything.
I've never heard the entirety of this until now. Ringo's intro is a rare treat for these ears (how often did they do that back in the day?) and that very beginning is my favorite part, but a pox on the person who didn't level up his mic properly. The occasional unavoidable phase-shifting is okay, although someone could sync the video better at the beginning of "Money". Second favorite is John introducing "Till There Was You". Most enjoyable, and I do look forward to the eventual release of the hour-long Stowe School performance from earlier in the year.
On This Boy the Harmony is out of this world A soulful song and I like how they go right into another song On I wanna hold your hand all Paul and George are moving their legs and stomping their feet to the beat
It's a kick to realise that The Beatles and other British pop bands used to make their recordings by playing and singing at the same time, a technique made necessary by the 2-track recording machines that EMI then had in their studios. In this way, early Beatles' recordings are actually live performances in the studio, which makes those early Beatles' recordings that much more amazing. They didn't start to first play the basic instrumental track and then layer it with vocals and other instruments until a 4-track tape recorder was installed at EMI in the fall of 1963. Amazing and mind-bogglingly, Revolver and Sgt. Pepper were recorded on a 4-track recorder. It was not until 1968 that the ever ultra-Britishly conservative EMI reluctantly went to 8-track recorders when the rest of the world was starting to use 16-track recorders. Abbey Road was recoded on an 8-track recorder. I just can't get over that. The first Beatles song to be overdubbed and layered was "I Want to Hold You Hand", recorded 17 October 1963. After that they quickly learned how to use the recording studio as an instrument to sculpt, colour and shape their sound. With the genius of George Martin and his brilliant engineering staff, history shows that they did it well, and IMO, better than all others.
@@sess122 For the sake of those here who may not know what "bouncing" is, it was a recording technique done by necessity in the old tape recording days when there were a limited number of tracks available, usually only four, but you wanted to record more than four tracks. Bouncing is mixing two recorded tracks, say the drums and guitars together onto a third track, thus freeing up the original two tracks for, say, vocals and a lead guitar solo. You could keep doing this until you had everything you wanted on the tape. The problem with bouncing tracks is that once you do it, that's it, you can't "un-bounce" them later. Whatever mix you do is permanent so you had better know just what you want to hear when you do it. Also, bouncing tracks on a tape slightly de-grades the sound, mostly reducing the upper-mids and highs as well as slightly adding some distortion. Knowing this, a savvy engineer will add some top end to the tracks to be bounced so that when they are mixed together on the third track they won't sound muffled or dull. Same goes for the distortion. The engineer can lower the gain (volume) using a VU (volume unit) meter which measures the amount of volume units of any track that is going to be bounced so that distortion is minimised. It was a common practice to do this in the mid to later '60s when we had only four, or even only two-track recorders. The only way to bounce with a two-track recorder is to synchronise two, two-track recorders and treat them as a kind of four-track recorder. This was a very tricky thing to do back in the day as some slight variance of speed, which translates to pitch, between the to recorders will virtually always occur. Amongst many other brilliant inventions, George Martin and his staff tinkered a device to keep synced up recorders at the same speed. Many highly complex recordings like Revolver and Sgt. Pepper were recorded on a four-track recorder using multiple bounced tracks to free up tracks for the next bit to be recorded in a song. For instance, on "A Day in the Life" on Sgt. Pepper, when they ran out of clear tracks to bounce, they synced up two four-track recorders, added the symphony orchestra, etc. and made the best of it. Multi-track recoding was invented by Les Paul who, despite what some may think, did not invent the electric guitar, although he did build an early solid body electric guitar, "The Log", c.1939. Rickenbacker produced the first commercially available solid-body guitar, a lap-Hawaiian-style, slide guitar called "The Frying Pan" in 1932.
@@Glicksman1 Yes, thanks for the in depth explanation. I should have at least explained "bouncing" a bit myself...went from recording 4 track, "back in the day", to multi-track (2" tape) and what a blessing it was!
@@sess122 Oh yes! That 16-track 2" tape was from heaven itself. It was a bitch to edit, but it was easy to flip it over to do backwards tracks. I still have a roll or two of it somewhere in my house.
If a Time Machine was invented and I was given the choice to go anywhere in time, I’d chose the Liverpool Tavern in 1962. There’s no replacement to the Beatles!
John Lennon is so honest when he introduced to the fans that Ringo Starr will sing next he mentioned that Ringo haven't learned his other song so Ringo sung the song Boys. Hy honest is that
Enjoyed this Blindowl from USA fortunately you are not the original Blind Owl from Boston Massachusetts who passed on in the early seventies singer and guitarist with the Canned Heat. Listening to this evokes a lot of memories like watching my brother and his mates at a fundraiser around the same time taking off the Fab Four l was quite proud of him they went down well.l Want to hold your hand had just been released and would be the record that bust the USA market wide open 1964 the Beatles spent 20 weeks that year at No1in the USA charts and a further 6 weeks at No1 were enjoyed by Manfred Mann Peter and Gordon and the Animal's making a total of half a year at the top of the charts and the Peter and Gordon song was penned by Lennon and McCartney an incredible time to live. Thank you history and memories are more important than ever in today's world .
Not mistakes so much as incorrect sound mix on the harmonies for This Boy. Ringo didn't have his mic working on Boys, Money is great too! All the energy of the early Beatles!
Абсурдность в оценке битлз заключается в том , что не будучи великими гитаристами , барабанщиками , вокалистами и тд по сегодняшний день считаются и являются самым успешным и узнаваемым коллективом за все существование рок и поп музыки , нравится это кому то или нет , но это общепризнаный в мире факт .
One of, if not the Best capture of The Beatles vocals and music in their "Screaming Girl" Concerts,,,Thank-You! I can still remember my babysitter jumping up and down on my parent's bed, screaming because she had a ticket to The Beatles on one of their early American airplane stops. I was thinking, "What is THIS all about?!?!?" 2nd or 3rd grade at the time ))
Yes, this and other live versions, like the one in D.C. and Hollywood Bowl are so much better than the recording. George's voice, Ringo's drumming and John and Paul joining in the end are pure Beatle magic.
When the picture finally comes in, we can see the problem with Ringo’s vocal. He’s singing into the dead side of a figure of eight mic, there to pick up the drums. There only appear to be 6 mics on stage in total. I’m assuming they didn’t bother doing Boys during the brief rehearsal. It must have been pandemonium in the OB van.
The BBC were useless at getting the sound balance exactly right. The TV director showed too much of the audience. The Beatles disowned the concert because of the poor sound.
This is great. Do you know how the BBC was recording the audio? It doesn't sound like it's through the PA (really clear vocals) maybe they had their own microphones set up with the PA mics?
@@linusw Mixing desk? Would that have yet to be invented. I'd bet it was a guy holding up a microphone in front of the stage. Maybe the BBC would have found the money for him to have a stand for his microphone.
You had to be there… I spend a lot of hours trying to talk to the younger generation about the value. The Beatles had not only musically but culturally. I was six years old when they hit the United States and I grew up with them. By the way, when they’re singing, I want to hold your hand and it switches to a live audience around 21:33 is that older lady, aunt Mimi, there is a resemblance. Also, what would a lady her age be doing at the concert? Thank you. I enjoyed this video.
I was a teen when they arrived to the USA and I could remember quite a bit. I was in such awe about their performances and them being from another country thrilled me more as they were so different! So glad I was old enough to understand that era!
I just learned from Wikipedia that this television performance got a very hostile reaction from the Beatles, and from many of their fans, watching at home because of the ridiculously stupid camera work done by an incompetent Director, and by some of the audio problems, such as not being able to hear Ringo sing. Looking at the last few minutes of the performance, I can see why there was such a backlash. So many reaction shots from the crowd. Guess how many people tuned in to watch reaction shots? Exactly 0. Also, you never see John Lennon singing on a close-up on either money or Twist and Shout. What a disaster. In spite of all this, it is still a treasure to us, fans because it has been preserved.
Amazing when we hear Paul introducing a new song called "All my Loving". To think that there was a time before the Beatles is almost unimaginable 60 years later.
“Shut up!” yells Lennon, who clearly is getting fed up with all the little girlies screaming and shrieking. But it wasn’t going to be any quieter on tour in the States.
Поведение Леннона на сцене - это, конечно же, что-то невообразимое для той Эпохи. Он открыто издевается над "обезумевшей публикой" ( девчонками- подростками). Никакие "Роллинг Стоунз" и прочие "плохие ребята" такого себе позволить не могли (в те годы). Леннон был и остался Единственным и Неповторимым. 💥💯
They had finished up the 2nd LP - and just recorded Hand and This Boy the month before. After hundreds of takes, and then this tour - they were on top of their new V2 teeny bopper routine - the hair and boots, wiggles and suits and short 30 minute sets - the beginning of the end as Lennon soon hated that stuff. The V1 Beatles (leather and rock n roll) is where John was at home - not pop. Soon they were playing to kids they couldn't relate too and why after only 3 more years they quit the road. 2 months after this they played Ed and got their cherries popped and vice versa by the USA. No Pete (especially Pete's Mom), no Beatles; no Beatles no Brit Invasion; no Brit Invasion no 60s as we lived it. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
Every director that ever recorded a Beates performance was always more interested in crowd shots than the actual singer. Was there even one close-up of John during "Money" or "Twist and Shout"? This show could have been called "It's The Audience".
Interesting to hear Paul's choices/approach during Boys...a guitar player playing bass...a bass player would have , I think, made different choices. Same thing with While My Guitar Gently Weeps...Lady Madonna too I think.
What did the producer have against John Lennon? Not one closeup of him, even though he's lead vocal on two of the songs. Some of the shots are framed as if the band consisted of Paul, George and Ringo.

At 10:00, at the start of 'Boys', the vocals and guitars all drop out, so all you hear is Paul's awesome bass playing for a minute straight! Great!
And then, the only vocals that come in are - if I’m correct - George and Paul doing background vocals.

this is one of the "roughest" versions of Roll over Beethoven I ever heard George sing in the many live performances available on youtube.. // and the confusion/mix-up in the lyrics of Twist and Shout shows: even the Beatles are only human
This is every bit as good as The Rutles at Albert Hall, or any of The Monkees live shows at broken down fairgrounds long after their star had faded. These boys were more than just those trousers.
The...tight...trousers. Leggy Mountbatten sure had an eye for talent!
@@misterschubert3242 If they had stayed off the tea they could have been as big as Spinal Tap.
:D
It's great to hear John's voice recorded louder than Paul's when they're doing harmonies, because usually, on the records, Paul's higher voice tends to drown John's out. A+ for George's spot-on harmonies on All My Loving. The guy could do everything.
I've never heard the entirety of this until now. Ringo's intro is a rare treat for these ears (how often did they do that back in the day?) and that very beginning is my favorite part, but a pox on the person who didn't level up his mic properly. The occasional unavoidable phase-shifting is okay, although someone could sync the video better at the beginning of "Money". Second favorite is John introducing "Till There Was You". Most enjoyable, and I do look forward to the eventual release of the hour-long Stowe School performance from earlier in the year.
The one any only #1 band ever!!
HAND'S DOWN !!! THE GREATEST.
NOOOOO they were + / - not more....
On This Boy the Harmony is out of this world A soulful song and I like how they go right into another song On I wanna hold your hand all Paul and George are moving their legs and stomping their feet to the beat
Songs apparently recorded in 1963. But based on the audio quality, it must have been in 1923.
such an amazing band, no one knew then how big they'd get -- all the great albums they did later still dazzle us
Today's so called Rock n Roll band's are not fit to be mentioned in the same room as these Legend's.
It's a kick to realise that The Beatles and other British pop bands used to make their recordings by playing and singing at the same time, a technique made necessary by the 2-track recording machines that EMI then had in their studios. In this way, early Beatles' recordings are actually live performances in the studio, which makes those early Beatles' recordings that much more amazing. They didn't start to first play the basic instrumental track and then layer it with vocals and other instruments until a 4-track tape recorder was installed at EMI in the fall of 1963.
Amazing and mind-bogglingly, Revolver and Sgt. Pepper were recorded on a 4-track recorder. It was not until 1968 that the ever ultra-Britishly conservative EMI reluctantly went to 8-track recorders when the rest of the world was starting to use 16-track recorders. Abbey Road was recoded on an 8-track recorder. I just can't get over that.
The first Beatles song to be overdubbed and layered was "I Want to Hold You Hand", recorded 17 October 1963. After that they quickly learned how to use the recording studio as an instrument to sculpt, colour and shape their sound. With the genius of George Martin and his brilliant engineering staff, history shows that they did it well, and IMO, better than all others.
They were forced to do a lot of "bouncing" in those early days but it got the job done, obviously.
@@sess122 For the sake of those here who may not know what "bouncing" is, it was a recording technique done by necessity in the old tape recording days when there were a limited number of tracks available, usually only four, but you wanted to record more than four tracks.
Bouncing is mixing two recorded tracks, say the drums and guitars together onto a third track, thus freeing up the original two tracks for, say, vocals and a lead guitar solo. You could keep doing this until you had everything you wanted on the tape.
The problem with bouncing tracks is that once you do it, that's it, you can't "un-bounce" them later. Whatever mix you do is permanent so you had better know just what you want to hear when you do it.
Also, bouncing tracks on a tape slightly de-grades the sound, mostly reducing the upper-mids and highs as well as slightly adding some distortion. Knowing this, a savvy engineer will add some top end to the tracks to be bounced so that when they are mixed together on the third track they won't sound muffled or dull.
Same goes for the distortion. The engineer can lower the gain (volume) using a VU (volume unit) meter which measures the amount of volume units of any track that is going to be bounced so that distortion is minimised.
It was a common practice to do this in the mid to later '60s when we had only four, or even only two-track recorders. The only way to bounce with a two-track recorder is to synchronise two, two-track recorders and treat them as a kind of four-track recorder. This was a very tricky thing to do back in the day as some slight variance of speed, which translates to pitch, between the to recorders will virtually always occur. Amongst many other brilliant inventions, George Martin and his staff tinkered a device to keep synced up recorders at the same speed.
Many highly complex recordings like Revolver and Sgt. Pepper were recorded on a four-track recorder using multiple bounced tracks to free up tracks for the next bit to be recorded in a song.
For instance, on "A Day in the Life" on Sgt. Pepper, when they ran out of clear tracks to bounce, they synced up two four-track recorders, added the symphony orchestra, etc. and made the best of it.
Multi-track recoding was invented by Les Paul who, despite what some may think, did not invent the electric guitar, although he did build an early solid body electric guitar, "The Log", c.1939. Rickenbacker produced the first commercially available solid-body guitar, a lap-Hawaiian-style, slide guitar called "The Frying Pan" in 1932.
@@Glicksman1 Yes, thanks for the in depth explanation. I should have at least explained "bouncing" a bit myself...went from recording 4 track, "back in the day", to multi-track (2" tape) and what a blessing it was!
@@sess122 Oh yes! That 16-track 2" tape was from heaven itself. It was a bitch to edit, but it was easy to flip it over to do backwards tracks. I still have a roll or two of it somewhere in my house.
@@Glicksman1 Sounds like you did some quality studio time/work...engineering, producing, playing or some of each?
If a Time Machine was invented and I was given the choice to go anywhere in time, I’d chose the Liverpool Tavern in 1962. There’s no replacement to the Beatles!
I am a brazilian fan. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
such an exciting time, we were young, and the world was fun
Que entusiasmo en sus interpretaciones,eso es Rock!
John Lennon is so honest when he introduced to the fans that Ringo Starr will sing next he mentioned that Ringo haven't learned his other song so Ringo sung the song Boys. Hy honest is that
Enjoyed this Blindowl from USA fortunately you are not the original Blind Owl from Boston Massachusetts who passed on in the early seventies singer and guitarist with the Canned Heat. Listening to this evokes a lot of memories like watching my brother and his mates at a fundraiser around the same time taking off the Fab Four l was quite proud of him they went down well.l Want to hold your hand had just been released and would be the record that bust the USA market wide open 1964 the Beatles spent 20 weeks that year at No1in the USA charts and a further 6 weeks at No1 were enjoyed by Manfred Mann Peter and Gordon and the Animal's making a total of half a year at the top of the charts and the Peter and Gordon song was penned by Lennon and McCartney an incredible time to live. Thank you history and memories are more important than ever in today's world .
Not mistakes so much as incorrect sound mix on the harmonies for This Boy. Ringo didn't have his mic working on Boys, Money is great too! All the energy of the early Beatles!
Can you imagine what it was like being in the audience?!!!
Great point! Ans: EXCITING!!!
Full of piss, vomit and girls screaming at each side of your ears, but happy to see the greatest band in history
Who needs high tech when you have Beatles?
Muchas gracias por la entrega. Excelente material!!!👏👏👏👏
Oh man, what a treat!
Excellent work putting this together
Абсурдность в оценке битлз заключается в том , что не будучи великими гитаристами , барабанщиками , вокалистами и тд по сегодняшний день считаются и являются самым успешным и узнаваемым коллективом за все существование рок и поп музыки , нравится это кому то или нет , но это общепризнаный в мире факт .
One of, if not the Best capture of The Beatles vocals and music in their "Screaming Girl" Concerts,,,Thank-You! I can still remember my babysitter jumping up and down on my parent's bed, screaming because she had a ticket to The Beatles on one of their early American airplane stops. I was thinking, "What is THIS all about?!?!?" 2nd or 3rd grade at the time ))
Like that George in this performance, is letting his voice out and rocking' with it!!!...he doesn't do this in the studio for the final recording!??
Yes he belted it!!
Yes, this and other live versions, like the one in D.C. and Hollywood Bowl are so much better than the recording. George's voice, Ringo's drumming and John and Paul joining in the end are pure Beatle magic.
These guys work so hard to do their thing as musicians. Really hard for years.
Imortais . Eternos , a melhor e mais difundida banda musical do Mundo !!!
When the picture finally comes in, we can see the problem with Ringo’s vocal. He’s singing into the dead side of a figure of eight mic, there to pick up the drums. There only appear to be 6 mics on stage in total. I’m assuming they didn’t bother doing Boys during the brief rehearsal. It must have been pandemonium in the OB van.
John: “From the musical, “The Muscle Man. Sung by Peggy Leg.” OMFG.
The BBC were useless at getting the sound balance exactly right. The TV director showed too much of the audience. The Beatles disowned the concert because of the poor sound.
Another geat Lord Reith Beatles recording refreshed and released to the world.
Wonderful
Thank you! Cheers!
Fantastic! As ever❤
This is great. Do you know how the BBC was recording the audio? It doesn't sound like it's through the PA (really clear vocals) maybe they had their own microphones set up with the PA mics?
I'd bet the sound was run through a mixing desk, then one output would get piped through to a tape machine, while the other went to the P.A.
@@linusw Mixing desk? Would that have yet to be invented. I'd bet it was a guy holding up a microphone in front of the stage. Maybe the BBC would have found the money for him to have a stand for his microphone.
@@linusw no such thing as a mixing desk for live performances when this was recorded.
@@thefonzkiss The BBC had the equivalent of mixing desks for both studio and OB use from the 1930s
in "boys" we can see a lot the presence of paul's bass.
Really great bass playing
Easier with the absence of Ringo's vocal !! Paul has always been a great bass player.
Wish I could go back to December 63 the first time I heard “I Want To Hold Your Hand” and start the journey ALL OVER again.
Look at the class act there, suits, cufflinks . They were extraordinary lads.
Interesting group. Will keep an ear out for them. Hopefully they will improve, release some records in and tour some clubs in the States!!
Peggy Leg’s song from The Muscle Man
The Music Man..!
@@richrogers5864 Listen again to Lennon's introduction to the song!!
Gotta' love Lennon's way with words.....!!
😂😂😂
You had to be there… I spend a lot of hours trying to talk to the younger generation about the value. The Beatles had not only musically but culturally. I was six years old when they hit the United States and I grew up with them.
By the way, when they’re singing, I want to hold your hand and it switches to a live audience around 21:33 is that older lady, aunt Mimi, there is a resemblance. Also, what would a lady her age be doing at the concert? Thank you. I enjoyed this video.
I was a teen when they arrived to the USA and I could remember quite a bit. I was in such awe about their performances and them being from another country thrilled me more as they were so different! So glad I was old enough to understand that era!
The version from Washington DC on February 11, 1964 is great too.
I just learned from Wikipedia that this television performance got a very hostile reaction from the Beatles, and from many of their fans, watching at home because of the ridiculously stupid camera work done by an incompetent Director, and by some of the audio problems, such as not being able to hear Ringo sing.
Looking at the last few minutes of the performance, I can see why there was such a backlash. So many reaction shots from the crowd. Guess how many people tuned in to watch reaction shots? Exactly 0.
Also, you never see John Lennon singing on a close-up on either money or Twist and Shout. What a disaster.
In spite of all this, it is still a treasure to us, fans because it has been preserved.
Ringo’s mic not on for Boys. For a while just an isolated bass track. Audience didn’t seem to mind as they screamed anyway.
Amazing when we hear Paul introducing a new song called "All my Loving". To think that there was a time before the Beatles is almost unimaginable 60 years later.
Рок концертные выступления The Beatles слушать практически НЕ ВОЗМОЖНО!!!! Верещащие девицы глушат собой всю музыку...
Very, very good early Beatles. But notice the tasteful staging and presentation in film footage. Brian Epstein was invaluable.
Ed Sullivan right around the corner. Great rockin' version of Roll Over Beethoven sounds like a pub band rockin' out!
On Roll Over Beethoven!
“Shut up!” yells Lennon, who clearly is getting fed up with all the little girlies screaming and shrieking.
But it wasn’t going to be any quieter on tour in the States.
That little outro is one of the strangest things you'll ever see them do live, including a bit of the "Third Man" theme.
Поведение Леннона на сцене - это, конечно же, что-то невообразимое для той Эпохи. Он открыто издевается над "обезумевшей публикой" ( девчонками- подростками).
Никакие "Роллинг Стоунз" и прочие "плохие ребята" такого себе позволить не могли (в те годы).
Леннон был и остался Единственным и Неповторимым.
💥💯
They had finished up the 2nd LP - and just recorded Hand and This Boy the month before. After hundreds of takes, and then this tour - they were on top of their new V2 teeny bopper routine - the hair and boots, wiggles and suits and short 30 minute sets - the beginning of the end as Lennon soon hated that stuff. The V1 Beatles (leather and rock n roll) is where John was at home - not pop. Soon they were playing to kids they couldn't relate too and why after only 3 more years they quit the road. 2 months after this they played Ed and got their cherries popped and vice versa by the USA. No Pete (especially Pete's Mom), no Beatles; no Beatles no Brit Invasion; no Brit Invasion no 60s as we lived it. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
Very cool! They are Rock' n Roll Band!
Crazy what the director chose to show. Maybe show The Band!
for once the drums are relatively prominent in these recordings..
THANKS !
They were either better talented or better rehearsed than anyone else back then.
Both!
What a treat!
Every director that ever recorded a Beates performance was always more interested in crowd shots than the actual singer. Was there even one close-up of John during "Money" or "Twist and Shout"? This show could have been called "It's The Audience".
Fantastic record!
Interesting to hear Paul's choices/approach during Boys...a guitar player playing bass...a bass player would have , I think, made different choices. Same thing with While My Guitar Gently Weeps...Lady Madonna too I think.
What did the producer have against John Lennon? Not one closeup of him, even though he's lead vocal on two of the songs. Some of the shots are framed as if the band consisted of Paul, George and Ringo.
Warts and all . . .
I mean, it's a bloody BEATLES show!
The very end was awesome!
