As a kid. This is one of the best music ever. Ringo is the best.🎉🎉🎉

I would love to go back in time and see these guys in Hamburg.

This is the first time I hear Anna or Misery live. They almost did the whole of Please Please Me Live. Fantastic!

Why didn't they record 'A Picture of You', 'Please Don't Ever Change' or some of the other great covers they used to do I'll never know

Love this song. Love this version. I wonder what it would be like with Dusty’s vocal on top?

He looks so needy and she's wondering if she is up for it.

As we know, they liked Buddy and this shows the influence. How cool that this has been unearthed! Thank you!

NOT a beatles fan. but this is great stuff never heard 1/2 of these trks. KUDOS on editing trks.thnx.

The original Beatles sound was already in place by this time.

Paul singing on most, but not the Beatles playing, they joined on stage with other bands (king size taylor) the playing is way too good for the Beatles ability at the time, the drumming is too good for Ringo the guitar too good for george...the other Hamburg tapes were not them playing either, only singing..John wanted George Martin to release them as a live record but Martin knew they were not them playing..Red Hot uses an organ, since when did the Bs use an organ? Some tracks were sung by Freddie Fasher

AGI accelerate 🍓🍓🍓

To be honest the greatest undiscovered band from Liverpool, should have been massive

One of the things that interesting about this performance in general is that it's c. 45 long. One of the things I've always wondered (and as far as I'm aware no Beatlebook ever addressed the issue) is Who made the Command Decision once The Beatles got massive and started playing huge venues, that their set would be less than half an hour. A lot of contemporary reviews in US newspapers pointed out that it seemed kinda short shrift for kids who were so keyed up and invested in the event. Shea Stadium, at the time The Biggest Rock Show Ever = what? 25 minutes?

I've done a lot of this sort of thing (audio restoration). Not on anything this epic, mostly on stuff I recorded myself, but I know what's involved. You gotta go slow, not get impatient. You did a great job.

Great job! I enjoy it very much.

Every month my brain reminds me of this and i come back to it.

The Star Club sound and vibe is all over this recording

This is an absolutely brilliant remix of SFF! Beautiful ❤

Ringo slips into a Pete Best-like shuffle in the Love Me Do middle; I had to double check dates!

Too bad the vocals are so poorly recorded.

Se escucha mucho la armonica de John en este tema anterior

From July 30, 1994 news reports about the sale of this tape at Sotheby's: "The 3-inch reel includes Lennon's performances of two songs at St. Peter's Church in Woolton, the Liverpool suburb where he lived, on July 6, 1957. It is the earliest known recording of Lennon, who was 16 at the time.The tape is to be auctioned at Sotheby's in London on Sept. 15. Sotheby's expects it to bring $155,000 to $230,000. The tape was recorded on a portable Grundig TK8 (the machine is included in the sale) by Bob Molyneux, a member of the church's youth club who is now a retired policeman. In 1963, he offered the tape to Lennon, through Ringo Starr. But Lennon never responded, so Molyneux put the tape in a vault. When he offered it to Sotheby's two months ago, the auction house asked Mark Lewisohn, a Beatles expert who wrote about the performance in "The Complete Beatles Chronicle," to listen to the recording. "As soon as I heard the tape it was quite clear that it was John Lennon," Lewisohn said. "He was 16 years old, but it was that same distinctive voice. To suddenly come across a tape of an unknown band of teenage musicians playing in a small town 37 years after the fact is almost unbelievable. Nonetheless this is what we have. It is a holy grail that no one knew existed." The Quarry Men performed twice that day, outside the church in the afternoon and in the church hall in the evening. Molyneux recorded the evening performance. Between the two sets, Lennon was introduced to McCartney, then 15, who tuned Lennon's guitar, something the older musician had not yet mastered."

Where is the credibility to this?

Definitely John singing. That pretty cool! 👍

I wonder if Peter Jackson could improve this much? It's historic.

TTLF has been my favourite track on Freak Beats since it came out, and maybe of the late acid era. Rocks hard for a dance track. I also prefer the FB version of Deliciously Deranged for its atmosphere/arrangement/flow/patches than the 12'' version, even if not as squeaky-clean. Dirty, gritty recordings suit this music.

The definition of Paul's bass is better than most of their early records!

Great job Peter. I've not heard these sounding so good before

thanks

That's Paul singing lead vocal on "Please Mr. Postman" as opposed to the version on "With The Beatles" where it's John singing.

31:02 Beatles doing what would eventually become Houkago Tea Times "Fuwa Fuwa Time"

This is awesome

Interesting, teenage boys with dreams. Two of them want to be songwriters for plays or movies. One of them prefers to paint but is participating because his friend wants him there.

Wow, I thought I'd heard everything before. Apparently not. Thanks much!

Nice!

THANKS!!!!!!! It's such a treat to hear John, Paul, George & Stu swingin' the Blues!

This is incredible. Thank you for combining these rareties. (At least they're rare to me. Other fans probably know them by heart.) Of course the most striking song is "I'll Follow the Sun," since we know how it developed into an underrated classic. Substantial difference in mood here, to put it mildly, and thank heavens they were more sophisticated with their chord progressions by the final recording!

WOW

I was at Stowe yesterday and thought I should try to see if this concert was on You Tube. Brilliant.

I'm anxiously awaiting a high-tech cleaned-up release of the 1958 recording of The Quarrymen's (w/Paul & George) performance with Lennon singing That'll Be The Day by Buddy Holly, AND the July 6th 1957 incomplete recordings of The Quarrymen (before Paul & George joined, Paul was there watching and met John, auditioned and joined) with Lennon singing Puttin' On The Style (Lonnie Donegan's #1 hit at that time) and Baby Let's Play House (Elvis's hit). It would be so cool if Lennon's discography is extended back to 1957!

great job. thanks

The Beatles were a step change in how rock'n'roll was composed, performed and created, but Astrid Kirchherr and her Hamburg pals as the original Beatles fans and artistic apostles were a massive change in how it and its players were perceived, supported and its aesthetic disseminated. Her photos are phenomenal.

George Martin said that, when they were trying to figure out what they could record quickly for their first album, the answer was their stage act. (You hear half of that first album in this show... not necessarily because they're playing the album, but because the album was full of stuff they already regularly played.) This may be the best sounding representation of their stage act at that time... and the audience response before Beatlemania when they were just a popular band.

What a great sonic upgrade from earler versions

Wow what a difference in sound quality,the previous versions were terrible

Very exciting recording.

George hits a clunker at 23:50

6:47 They go Reggae! Should've kept it on the record. THANKS FOR MAKING THIS VERY LISTENABLE! TWO Arthur Alexander songs! John Bloomfield deserves a Grammy for greatest historic recording.

This is an extraordinary post capturing them at the cusp of mega super stardom. So enjoyable. Thank you so much!

It doesn't seem like Ringo, but he was in the band by now, so I suppose it is. Probably just the recording.
