I'll never understand why "You Can't Do That" hasn't gotten the same recognition as the Beatles other early classics. It's SUCH a cool, rocking tune--might be my favorite early Beatles song!! And this performance is awesome---John starts the bridge too early--during the bridge George and Paul abandon the "Can't Do That" chorus--there's foulups all over the place but these guys were so friggin great they just rolled with it and made it work!! Their sound is raw and gritty as hell!! The universe was is cosmic alignment when these guys came together--no other band has or ever will equal them!!
I was 19 when a saw an identical performance to this in the UK. I swear it changed my life. Its amazing I can still see this now because of TH-cam and I am 74 now.
This IS in the UK. To quote TheBeatleBible.com: "The Beatles topped the bill at the New Musical Express' 1963-64 Annual Poll-Winners' All-Star Concert, playing before an audience of 10,000 at the Empire Pool in Wembley, London." Maybe that's you in the audience. Cheers!
Funny: After he sings the first verse of "You Can't Do That," John does his "soul shout" and steps away from the mic, expecting George's guitar solo. Just in time, he looks over at Paul, who's looking at him like, "Hey! second verse, buddy!" and John gets back to the mic in time to begin the second verse. Most of the fans never knew the difference. I love seeing spontaneous moments like that on stage; keeps things fresh and exciting....
That's the first thing I've noticed, I've been on the stage and these things happen to even the best. It's live so nobody gives a damn. ;D John was a great singer though.
I know, I love the freshness and rawness of this performance - wonky equipment and sound balance, forgetting lines and all... it just makes it all the more real, exciting and fun like you're there rather than at some artificially perfected modern concert, with a crew of 50+ to smooth out every technical glitch...
@Mark Radzin I hadn't noticed it honestly, but now that you mention it it is quite obvious. John is still kind of laughing about his mistake for the following 30 seconds.
My grandmother who was born in 19 0 3 used to tell me that The Beatles long hair was growing into their brain and by shaking their heads up-and-down they were causing brain damage and that's why they were singing like that . Years later when she passed I went through her garage and found a treasure trove Beatles albums and memorabilia. We had no clue how much she loved them and I think she was embarrassed to say so just because they had long hair. I still have all that and will pass it down to my kids
dogleg 1957 That's a nice story. Maybe she was kidding, the way adults will tease little one's imaginations. Either way, her love for the Beatles must have enriched her life.
The BEATLES were incredible when I was 14 and they are just as FANTASTIC and I am 72. There will NEVER be another Group that Approaches Their Volume of Superb, Iconic, Identifiable Music.
John LOVED it when Paul really let go & really "threw it" (his voice)...Watch John's ecstatic expression as he watches his friend tear it up...John might not have said it much, but it's all there in his face...
Their energy in this is fucking INSANE. And at the same time, all the things that went wrong are hilarious!!! This might just be my all time favorite Beatles live performance. It seriously kills me that going back in time isn't possible and I will never get to experience this magic in real time in this only life I have. PHYSICALLY pains me. Even though I didn't exist during all this, I miss them and the whole era SO badly every day it hurts. I'm sure other millennial Beatles fans can relate. And your friends-- they just don't get it.
If only they'd slipped in "I Wanna Be Your Man" into this set. Ringo always knocked that one out of the park. Energy off the charts. When I first became a Beatles fan many years ago, it was through the late-era songs, but I'll choose the Beatlemania stuff any day of the week now.
I recall, like it was yesterday, sitting right near the front row of the East Ham Granada, ( east London), in late 1963 as a 14 year old, accompanied by my older fifteen year old cousin Susan to watch this new group The Beatles, with their funny haircuts and Liverpudlian accents, that we had heard and read so much about. When the guys finally came on stage my ears were hit with what can only be described as a few hundred screaming banshees.....the atmosphere was incredible, so electrically charged, as I recall. Above the noise I could just about hear the band who, by today's standards, were playing Please Please Me off the backline and singing through the house PA system... given that they still sounded so raw and exciting and, to my eyes, very handsome and mature. Even at that early stage in their development their musical talent and engaging personalities were very evident. Little did I realise in December 1963 what impact these guys would have on the wider world during the rest of the decade which still resonates today. I also didnt realise then that, as a 70 year old I would be able to access their music and live performances through the miracle of computerisation and the Internet, something that would have been viewed as too far fetched to believe, certainly by the thinking of the early 60's. We have come a long way I am am still here drawing breath, thinking Im a teenager all over again....RIP John and George and thank you both for the music and the memories.....
A very Professional band. They had style, they always gave their best, no mimicking... and their songs had beautiful lyrics and rhythm. The more I listen to them, the greater my admiration ...even at age 75.
The Beatles had two AMAZING singers in the frontline. John and Paul were both on FIRE here... John is belting out "Twist and shout" while Paul is singing "Long Tall Sally" better than anybody in the world.
THAT is an incredible performance, dodgy mics and all!!!! Lennon’s Twist and Shout is jaw dropping! Then Paul steps up and just hammers home Long Tall Sally, Ringo...WOW! And George keeping everything going cool as you like. The Beatles at their god damn best.
When a kid, I first heard the Beatles and got under their spell - for ever.Under socialism in the USSR it was a gulp of fresh air, unknown freedom of soul, youth and talent...Then I studied English hard (under the Beatles' influence..). In the Soviet army I used to sing The Yellow Submarine while marching with my mates to the dining hall, the song ringing high and far all over the army grounds/ And the officers just smiled, they enjoyed the Beatles as well :))
Точно, точно... А я в армии на посту битловские тексты заучивал. Мать по моей просьбе прислала. Дома вручную переписывал и в армии( в гробу её видел) помогали эти сраные два года пережить.
It's really incredible how four people could meet and stay together for 13 years I was 4 when the Beatles became famous Ringo Starr is still drumming today and Paul McCartney still tours occasionally too bless John and George I hope they're both rocking in heaven there will never be another group like The Beatles they changed the World forever.
When I was still in diapers and my parents played Beatles music all the time in the house, I was always drawn more to John's voice. I didn't realize it then, of course, but as I got older and discovered which voice belonged to which Beatle, it was John's that had always made me happy as a baby/toddler. And now that I'm 45, I still find it soothing and familiar.
GPC 0321 John Lennon was special intriguing more than any of the Beatles controversial harsh political genius above the rest of the Beatles . Paul was maybe better to some people but John was a more much more complex individual I was ten years old when I heard of John Lennon and his music and he was the best
@@squiddywiddy0762 The Beatles were a marvel of all the right factors coming together at a point in time made for just such serendipity. Every time I think of them I'm in awe of all that came together... "Come together, right now, over me [us]".
So much energy from all of them in this live performance!! John absolutely slayed Twist and Shout. Then Paul matched his energy on Long tall Sally. Ringo really kept the energy going with his drumming absolutely fantastic! And Paul's voice on Long Tall Sally is incredible, how it goes from loud and raspy to smooth falsettos - incredible stuff.
@@pipeandslippersman The greatest rock and roll drummer of all time. And for the people who doubt his abilities? Well, they're obviously not drummers. Because drummers know and appreciate in awe, all that Ringo created/invented and which is still emulated today.
Nick Fernandez Its a known fact.There are many articles about it. Lennon did not like the sound of his voice and loved to double-track his records. He would often ask the band's producer, George Martin, to cover the sound of his voice: "Can't you smother it with tomato ketchup or something?"
The early Beatles had all the energy of rock and roll, combined with incredibly catchy pop melodies. I don't think anyone was able to put those two things together like that before the Beatles.
Nope, ONLY all the artists and bands The Beatles emulated and wanted to be like. Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, etc. The Beatles themselves say they simply worked to sound like soul artists. Every act, no matter how successful, was influenced by somebody else. The Beatles were no different. But at least they gave credit where it was due, both in interviews and by actually covering the songs of acts they idolized.
@@stannote8312 Earlier rock acts had the rock and roll energy. No way did they have the same songwriting talents as Lennon & McCartney. Chuck Berry & Little Richard could rock with the best of them, but they couldn't have written She Loves You, Can't Buy Me Love, I Want To Hold Your Hand, I Saw Her Standing There or more subtle pieces like If I Fell or Here There Everywhere.
The Beatles didn't invent the amalgamation of pop melody and rhythm. Motown was doing it long before the Beatles came along. Songwriters like Holland, Dozier & Holland, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, Robert Bates, etc.--all writers the Beatles emulated, if not covered outright, until they developed their own style. The Beatles were a phenomenon of popular music--POP, the very nature of which involves following musical trend. McCartney and Lennon went on to become brilliant writers with an intimatble, original style. But let's not imagine or pretend Motown, Burt Bacharach and other writers/producers out of NY's Brill Building weren't doing that stuff already. Don't take my word for it; Paul McCartney acknowledges these things over and again in a variety of literature, radio and TV interviews, including an interview in the book, "The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions," published a few years back by EMI. I always find it interesting that Beatles fans like to say how original the band was from the second it set foot onto the international spotlight, when not only does musical history but the Beatles themselves say otherwise. The Beatles' style was built on American soul, rockabilly and for melodics sake, the Great American Songbook. It's okay to acknowledge that. It doesn't make the group any less inventive and influential. @@prschuster
I WAS THERE WHEN THE GREATEST POP BAND OF ALL TIME TOOK THE STAGE IT WAS ELECTRIC AND DEAFENING AND A GREAT N.M.E.WINNERS SHOW.ONE I REMEMBER WITH GREAT AND HAPPY MEMORIES.
When I saw them in Atlanta in '65....all I remember is SCREAMING...and almost fainting...I was 13....I couldn't talk or think when we walked out of the stadium...I was in a daze..and oh so happy....lol...
+Billie Sumrell The Beatles were asked what place was their favorite to perform at. Their answer was... Atlanta because it was the first time they could hear themselves play. www.cbs46.com/story/24667227/beatles-atlanta-65-the-most-memorable-show-of-the-tour
You are so lucky, I wish I could be in The 60's to watch them in concerts, and I'm hoping to saw Paulie or Ringo if they still alive, omg, seriously, that's amazing😭💖.
Out of thousands of performances, this is one of their best, and the most energetic. They are almost punk rock but with better vocals and much better songs. Tight as hell..jeez...
Even though they had faulty equipment, they still got on with it! Can you imagine some Diva with a faulty earpiece or microphone? She'd storm off in a second! This, my dears, is true rock n' roll and that's why The Beatles are the best!
Debbie Prentice ~ What faulty equipment? You don't know what you're saying. They wouldn't go on stage with substandard equipment. The amps and guitars were well made, and among the best available.
Steve Arditi That’s why they switched mics. The solo, or lead, took the one on the left - facing them- The whole thing was a mine field...they made it through and then some!
PerformanceJust look at Ringo go, on Long Tall Sally! This is probably the best live performance I've ever seen of them. I'll never forget the impact of '64 Ed Sullivan of course, but this is the Beatles we've all read about, at their most live energetic. Wow!
@@milesprower6426 Later in their career Paul was asked if Ringo was the best drummer in the world. He replied "He's not even the best drummer in the Beatles". Still love Ringo's style tho.
Very fortunate to see the Beatles live in 1964 in June when I was 9 years old. I was mesmerised by their music even now that John and George have gone. so Sad for many fans. John's tragic murder and Georges cancer. They and their Music are still with us through Paul and Ringo and even after the Music will last forever. That's the inspiration they gave us as the fans and other musicians. The Beatles had a influence on all bands that came after them even Led Zeppelin admitted it.
how great is john lennon his voice is so strong and his mic stand is broken- but he still sounds wicked .. and his lead gtr on 'you cant do that and long tall sally - his vocal on twist n shout -rocking
Take another look at "You Can't Do That". What you are seeing is not just a random floppy mike stand. What you are seeing is Paul, George, and probably Ringo playing a joke on John. The mike is prank one. Next is when John finishes the second verse and he does a sorta scream and pulls away from the mike in anticipation of an instrumental interlude. But, Paul and George rush right into the chorus. John rushes back to the mike, bewildered and looking for a clue from his band mates. He likely thinks he made a mistake. But it's just the guys screwing with his head.
@@winomaster I disagree, based on my own musical experiences. Vintage microphone clips screwed to the adjustable height pole of the mic stand. Whoever set up the stage didn't tighten Lennon's enough, and the moving cable (stage bounce) loosened it. You can't do much about it during the peformance of a song. Lennon acted like a pro and rolled with it, and tried to tighten it after You Can't Do That....but the damn thing loosened again....you can see this when George tried to tighten it during Twist & Shout. No prank...Lennon moved over to the better mic, which makes sense from a musician standpoint...lead singer should always get the best mic if a mic failure happens. As far as You Can't Do That....Lennon screwed up and thought the 3rd verse was done (he just finished the second) and expected George to solo....but Paul and George were correctly singing the bridge. An rare error made during the excitement of the NME Performance.
wow. wonderful peak-of-Beatlemania era live performance...They were on fire for this one! Tons of energy, John and Paul killing it on their lead vocals. Love George playing the electric 12 string all the way through. he didn't often do that, don't think
@David Roberts Wait. So you believe that in 1966, John just lets this nobody who now looks and sounds like Paul, step in and take control of the direction of the band. George and Ringo, we are supposed to believe just went along, no questions asked. But it’s John Lennon who we are talking about. Half of the creative force behind the Beatles. The father of the band, if you will. The man known for his dagger-like tongue, quick wit, and short fuse. Yes, that John Lennon. Sure, he just said, "Great! Billy's taking over!" Sure he did. Stupid.
Fucking Lennon man, love that voice - mic was playing up on him, probably couldn't even hear himself, and yet he delivers a flawless live rendition of their biggest hit on the spot. *Nails* his 'oooohs' - I've seen him leave that to McCartney and Harrison in other performances; here he hits the note and kills it. Close to my favourite vocalist of all-time, and there's been some beauties.
This is one of my all-time favourite Beatle concerts. It's like they were all mentally back in Hamburg the entire time -- that's how tight and energetic they were. Paul absolutely delivers the best-ever live version of "Long Tall Sally" and "Can't Buy Me Love," and I don't think I've heard better live vocals from John, even if the mic was annoyingly dodgy. George's solos are note-perfect as always. Also, Ringo is hitting those drums like he's got some kind of personal vendetta against them. Notice in the last bit of "Long Tall Sally" how John and George look at him when he starts in on the triplets. Yeah, he's really rocking it, they're thinking. It's wonderful! What an incredible drummer. P.S. Now, after that, who really cares that John couldn't remember his own song lyrics to save his life?
I love how after John says something to Paul after you can't do that - probably "say something, i have to adjust my mic - he just goes and says some meaningless random words and the audience of course goes heyyy
giligara30492 Ringo has said before that he had to hit ridiculously hard especially the snare so the guys could hear a beat the girls were so loud and lack of sound system.
The "experts" have recently come around and recognize Ringo's contribution to the Beatles. He knows how to fit in the song, not overwhelm it. Many of his grooves are instantly recognizable.
Ringo was a singer too, so he understood how a song ‘worked’. He didn’t just thump along in the background, making a ‘dance’ beat. That’s why they fired Pete Best: he was a ‘dance band’ drummer. Ringo had ‘feel’. None of The Beatles was a virtuoso. They were solid players, but they were mainly about vocals, melody, and harmony.
I was born on the very same day The Beatles appeared live on The Ed Sullivan Show in the USA, Sunday, February 9th, 1964. Watched by a television audience of 73 million. Awesome! 😍💞
Lots here demonstrates the professionalism of the boys. Playing live in that noise without monitors with dodgy microphones and still getting a tuneful set of songs out. John's Mike wasn't set up properly. Kept moving Paul's wasn't on for first song. They maintained their composure. Full of energy. Very few bands could have done this then let alone now.
That is soooo true. Lennon and MacCartney as a songwriters and musicians in the SAME BAND! Over the top talent in one band alone. A guy fan here from way back when I first saw them LIVE on Ed Sullivan in 1964.
Not sure about that, but that is some unimpeachable footage ain't it. They really cut their teeth as a live act before they made it big; they'd have played literally thousands of ours lives before this gig. They went downhill as a live act over time because they just couldn't hear themselves - but I agree with Lennon's assessment that they were a good lil' rock n' roll outfit for a while there.
Reading these witty and observant comments has certainly added to my enjoyment of this film. Thank you all from a life long Beatles fan now in his 60s reliving the most joyous times of his youth during these toughest years the world has seen in his lifetime. Stay at home. Stay safe and please continue to share your wit and keen observations. They lift all our spirits.

Kim Carletto I think they definitely would have had a reunion by now. They’d sorted a lot of their problems by the time John died.
If only we could have them come back for 24 hours
John on his game and Paul the great showman it’s beatles giving maybe their best live performance.
Johns vocals!! WOW
iambeyondfake c dave clark five
Dave Clark Five SUCKED.
Very powerful
Wow indeed, and also Wow to Paul's blistering rendition of Long Tall Sally which must have nearly set his tonsils alight
No Paul’s 😍
The early Beatles had all the energy of rock and roll, combined with incredibly catchy pop melodies. I don't think anyone was able to put those two things together like that before the Beatles.
Ya think?
Nope, ONLY all the artists and bands The Beatles emulated and wanted to be like. Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, etc. The Beatles themselves say they simply worked to sound like soul artists. Every act, no matter how successful, was influenced by somebody else. The Beatles were no different. But at least they gave credit where it was due, both in interviews and by actually covering the songs of acts they idolized.
@@stannote8312 Earlier rock acts had the rock and roll energy. No way did they have the same songwriting talents as Lennon & McCartney. Chuck Berry & Little Richard could rock with the best of them, but they couldn't have written She Loves You, Can't Buy Me Love, I Want To Hold Your Hand, I Saw Her Standing There or more subtle pieces like If I Fell or Here There Everywhere.
The Beatles didn't invent the amalgamation of pop melody and rhythm. Motown was doing it long before the Beatles came along. Songwriters like Holland, Dozier & Holland, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, Robert Bates, etc.--all writers the Beatles emulated, if not covered outright, until they developed their own style. The Beatles were a phenomenon of popular music--POP, the very nature of which involves following musical trend. McCartney and Lennon went on to become brilliant writers with an intimatble, original style. But let's not imagine or pretend Motown, Burt Bacharach and other writers/producers out of NY's Brill Building weren't doing that stuff already. Don't take my word for it; Paul McCartney acknowledges these things over and again in a variety of literature, radio and TV interviews, including an interview in the book, "The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions," published a few years back by EMI. I always find it interesting that Beatles fans like to say how original the band was from the second it set foot onto the international spotlight, when not only does musical history but the Beatles themselves say otherwise. The Beatles' style was built on American soul, rockabilly and for melodics sake, the Great American Songbook. It's okay to acknowledge that. It doesn't make the group any less inventive and influential. @@prschuster
@@stannote8312 It's tru that they took a lot from Motown- so you're right.
Even with that precarious gear they sound amazing. Ringo was a beast , George solos were amazing. Paul and John vocals pure Rock and Roll 🎸
I WAS THERE WHEN THE GREATEST POP BAND OF ALL TIME TOOK THE STAGE IT WAS ELECTRIC AND DEAFENING AND A GREAT N.M.E.WINNERS SHOW.ONE I REMEMBER WITH GREAT AND HAPPY MEMORIES.
+KONNEENN You were very fortunate!

Was this before or after they came to (conquered) the US?
Wow you were very lucky!!!
O m g you saw john and paul o m g i will cry.
Beatles Forever! I love you John, Paul, George and Ringo❤❤❤❤
Pink Tulip yes unfortunately I was born in the wrong time frame but still enjoy the music very much
fuck the beatles shit rubish very old fashin.
"Twist and Shout"--this performance shows why John Lennon was the greatest rock n roll singer who ever lived.
Absolutely, this is peak Lennon vocals
Kakakaka. Really? Paul had the better voice and range!
@@ttmcl98 Yes☺
Я плау
Я на них вырос
Awesome footage of the greatest band ever fantastic BEATLES
Twist and shout is absolutely awesome! Raw and delivered with such emotion. Can’t get better than that! Love it.
SO many years ago. They had a special magic and excitement to them.
theyre music is loved still by some beautiful people ( coz they listen to these musicians)
This is my favorite live Beatles footage ever. They just burn through it!!
They always gave their very best.
The best there ever was. Never to be equaled. What a great time to be around, thank you God.
tony francesco this happened once before when I came to your door no reply
When I saw them in Atlanta in '65....all I remember is SCREAMING...and almost fainting...I was 13....I couldn't talk or think when we walked out of the stadium...I was in a daze..and oh so happy....lol...
Woaw, amazing you saw the beatles in live !!
You are a VERY lucky person! I wish I could have been there! I'm 10 and I love The Beatles. Music today is terrible! ; (
+Billie Sumrell The Beatles were asked what place was their favorite to perform at. Their answer was... Atlanta because it was the first time they could hear themselves play.

Dear N Hall.
I just wanted you to know that you're a little cancer.
You are so lucky, I wish I could be in The 60's to watch them in concerts, and I'm hoping to saw Paulie or Ringo if they still alive, omg, seriously, that's amazing😭💖.
Out of thousands of performances, this is one of their best, and the most energetic. They are almost punk rock but with better vocals and much better songs. Tight as hell..jeez...
@Bobby They knew each other so well on stage, they could overcome any miscues with a glance or nod, amazing band.
Tight is an understatement! FANTASTIC! 😁❤
Washington first Us concert is Best ever performed in the Universe
Their first concert in Washington was the most energetic
@@lazzarodelgado1373 Also like that swedish TV ................ so epic
It's Oct 2022 and this performance still gives me shivers.
Omg, look at Ringo playing those drums with raw energy, "Twist and Shout" and "Long Tall Sally" were his best performances here! What a beast! ✨
John is absolutely KILLIN' it.

Even though they had faulty equipment, they still got on with it! Can you imagine some Diva with a faulty earpiece or microphone? She'd storm off in a second! This, my dears, is true rock n' roll and that's why The Beatles are the best!
Shows also that they truely loved what they were doing
Debbie Prentice ~ What faulty equipment? You don't know what you're saying. They wouldn't go on stage with substandard equipment. The amps and guitars were well made, and among the best available.
We'll never ever have a group like this again. The best ever. Lucky to have lived in the 60's. What happened to music. These days . So sad.
No guitar techs, stage crew, roadies, etc....to take care of Lennon's spinning mic....biggest act in the world at the time.....unbelievable!
No monitors either.
Steve Arditi That’s why they switched mics. The solo, or lead, took the one on the left - facing them- The whole thing was a mine field...they made it through and then some!
Today’s “ artists” would’ve stopped the show. And sued the venue.
marc Bolan had the same problem 8 years later at the Wembley pool London with telegram sam.
@@chrisnnh Yeah, notice how it didn't even really phase them. "This mic's crap. Let's switch." Not their first rodeo, as they say.
What a magical time in the history of music. They are like....something still unexplainable
Never forget it. There will never be another band that comes close to them.
Long Tall Sally was a blistering performance it doesn't get any better than that. Still the fabulous four superb
I used to think Little Richard’s was the definitive cover. Not after I heard this performance by Paul! Wow!!
@@kennethpalmowski-wolfe7923 same
Nothing has ever added as much pleasure, delight and mystic to our world as these 4 gorgeous lads did.
PerformanceJust look at Ringo go, on Long Tall Sally! This is probably the best live performance I've ever seen of them. I'll never forget the impact of '64 Ed Sullivan of course, but this is the Beatles we've all read about, at their most live energetic. Wow!
McCartney's vocals on "Long Tall Sally" are unbelievable.

Ringo is doing Keith Moon in long tall sally before there even was a Keith Moon. Superb
You would think the mic stands would be adjusted. She loves you verse three done twice. No one noticed. The greatest band ever.
10:30 Ringo: beast mode activated
😂😂😂
Ringo is the best drummer of them all.
And John like wow Ringo
@@milesprower6426
Later in their career Paul was asked if Ringo was the best drummer in the world. He replied "He's not even the best drummer in the Beatles".
Still love Ringo's style tho.
Lol yeah, thought Ringo's head was gonna fall off
Ringo gettin' down on Long Tall Sally! Damn!
it´s a punk rocker
Very fortunate to see the Beatles live in 1964 in June when I was 9 years old. I was mesmerised by their music even now that John and George have gone.
so Sad for many fans. John's tragic murder and Georges cancer. They and their Music are still with us through Paul and Ringo and even after the Music will last forever. That's the inspiration they gave us as the fans and other musicians. The Beatles had a influence on all bands that came after them even Led Zeppelin admitted it.
Agree greatest influencal band ever
@@peterfox7420 and sounding. cept for the beach boys
If I was ever gifted the chance to travel through time, I would be front row at a Beatles concert.
So much talent. They transcend. They had it all: looks, talent, vibe, production, right-place-at-the-right-time, etc. Amazing!
Hey Michael do you know a Graham monfils
The moptops
God we all thought PAUL was so BEAUTIFUL
Look at RINGO GO
Oh fuck look at Geoge go to
how great is john lennon his voice is so strong and his mic stand is broken- but he still sounds wicked .. and his lead gtr on 'you cant do that and long tall sally - his vocal on twist n shout -rocking
Oh yeah! The stage was so flimsy that the mike stands are rocking in time with the Beatles stomping feet. They just rocked on!!!
Take another look at "You Can't Do That". What you are seeing is not just a random floppy mike stand. What you are seeing is Paul, George, and probably Ringo playing a joke on John. The mike is prank one. Next is when John finishes the second verse and he does a sorta scream and pulls away from the mike in anticipation of an instrumental interlude. But, Paul and George rush right into the chorus. John rushes back to the mike, bewildered and looking for a clue from his band mates. He likely thinks he made a mistake. But it's just the guys screwing with his head.
@@veritas1002 Gee, that's an awefull convincing argument you make there.
@@winomaster I disagree, based on my own musical experiences. Vintage microphone clips screwed to the adjustable height pole of the mic stand. Whoever set up the stage didn't tighten Lennon's enough, and the moving cable (stage bounce) loosened it. You can't do much about it during the peformance of a song. Lennon acted like a pro and rolled with it, and tried to tighten it after You Can't Do That....but the damn thing loosened again....you can see this when George tried to tighten it during Twist & Shout. No prank...Lennon moved over to the better mic, which makes sense from a musician standpoint...lead singer should always get the best mic if a mic failure happens. As far as You Can't Do That....Lennon screwed up and thought the 3rd verse was done (he just finished the second) and expected George to solo....but Paul and George were correctly singing the bridge. An rare error made during the excitement of the NME Performance.
@Ivan You guys are right. It was John's mistake.
Paul McCartney has so much energy and passion in this performance
Cocaine is helluva drug
Good job inc. The real Paul ,faul is not funny
Paul had the energy and charisma that William lacks.
they semm scared..if i was the amanger id a pulled them
Shut up with the "Faul" B.S.
55 years later...….still the gold standard.
And always will be ✌

vocal harmonies and adjoining vocal parts were an essential overlooked talent in these boys.
wow. wonderful peak-of-Beatlemania era live performance...They were on fire for this one! Tons of energy, John and Paul killing it on their lead vocals. Love George playing the electric 12 string all the way through. he didn't often do that, don't think
Don't forget Ringo the powerhouse here :)
What's interesting here is that George is playing the 12 string Rickenbacker on several tunes that didn't have the 12 string on the studio versions.
@@jasonhill3514 yeah and there's a lot of bending in can't by me love. tough to do
Long tall Sally is one of my favourite little Richard songs and these boys nailed it. So proud of these scousers
This band really kicked ass. Age, time, or what ever. Music. They are dam good! Period.
Fab 4......4 ever...the BEST🔝
Can't Do That -- Look At John! THIS John was THE BEST! Healthy. Magnetic. Wow.
With ALL the audience yelling and screaming, without monitors or anything like that... The Beatles were the best band in live!
Brilliant live tight tight band
Saw them live when they began .. They were THE BAND
Wow!!!! The Beatles!!!! Love them!!! My group!! Wont never be another group like em!! Never!!
I love that the stage is so flumsy the mics are rocking around. The harmony mic goes out and John still sounds great.
Paul is amazing
And Jhon
@David Roberts stfu
@David Roberts Wait. So you believe that in 1966, John just lets this nobody who now looks and sounds like Paul, step in and take control of the direction of the band. George and Ringo, we are supposed to believe just went along, no questions asked. But it’s John Lennon who we are talking about. Half of the creative force behind the Beatles. The father of the band, if you will. The man known for his dagger-like tongue, quick wit, and short fuse. Yes, that John Lennon. Sure, he just said, "Great! Billy's taking over!" Sure he did. Stupid.
2019 and still loving this performance of the greatest band of all time.
Fucking Lennon man, love that voice - mic was playing up on him, probably couldn't even hear himself, and yet he delivers a flawless live rendition of their biggest hit on the spot. *Nails* his 'oooohs' - I've seen him leave that to McCartney and Harrison in other performances; here he hits the note and kills it.
Close to my favourite vocalist of all-time, and there's been some beauties.
They always gave their very best.
Their very best was WILD 🔥🔥 underrated Live Band@@momijiyamanishi4548🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
George’s lead guitar solos in the songs were pretty spot on !
The most animated I've ever seen The Beatles. Strong vocals also.
This is one of my all-time favourite Beatle concerts. It's like they were all mentally back in Hamburg the entire time -- that's how tight and energetic they were. Paul absolutely delivers the best-ever live version of "Long Tall Sally" and "Can't Buy Me Love," and I don't think I've heard better live vocals from John, even if the mic was annoyingly dodgy. George's solos are note-perfect as always. Also, Ringo is hitting those drums like he's got some kind of personal vendetta against them. Notice in the last bit of "Long Tall Sally" how John and George look at him when he starts in on the triplets. Yeah, he's really rocking it, they're thinking. It's wonderful! What an incredible drummer.
P.S. Now, after that, who really cares that John couldn't remember his own song lyrics to save his life?
You Can't Do That: John fucked up, he expected the solo instead of the chorus after the second verse. Anyway, still great as always.
I love how after John says something to Paul after you can't do that - probably "say something, i have to adjust my mic - he just goes and says some meaningless random words and the audience of course goes heyyy
i liked how the microphone kept moving. hilarious!
giligara30492 Ringo has said before that he had to hit ridiculously hard especially the snare so the guys could hear a beat the girls were so loud and lack of sound system.
MrLikeAsatellite And then he followed up with "Cause I'm the one who love your love" wicked funny
I may be in the minority according to the "experts", but I've always loved the way Ringo played the drums.
The "experts" have recently come around and recognize Ringo's contribution to the Beatles. He knows how to fit in the song, not overwhelm it. Many of his grooves are instantly recognizable.
@@johnjohn1810 So they finally came to appreciate what most of us have known all along. Better late than never, I guess.
No minority there, never was, not to those who know especially.
Ringo was a singer too, so he understood how a song ‘worked’. He didn’t just thump along in the background, making a ‘dance’ beat.
That’s why they fired Pete Best: he was a ‘dance band’ drummer.
Ringo had ‘feel’.
None of The Beatles was a virtuoso. They were solid players, but they were mainly about vocals, melody, and harmony.

I was born on the very same day The Beatles appeared live on The Ed Sullivan Show in the USA, Sunday, February 9th, 1964. Watched by a television audience of 73 million. Awesome! 😍💞
One of the best Beatles live performance. Ringo Starr fantastic.
Lots here demonstrates the professionalism of the boys. Playing live in that noise without monitors with dodgy microphones and still getting a tuneful set of songs out. John's Mike wasn't set up properly. Kept moving Paul's wasn't on for first song. They maintained their composure. Full of energy. Very few bands could have done this then let alone now.
Ringo was going nuts during long tall sally
Lysol yes original head banger!!
Pete could never have driven this beat like Ringo did.
Erro Pete knew one beat.
The Best! Ever!
There is no group that even compares to the Fabulous Beatles, never has been and never will.
That is soooo true. Lennon and MacCartney as a songwriters and musicians in the SAME BAND! Over the top talent in one band alone. A guy fan here from way back when I first saw them LIVE on Ed Sullivan in 1964.
Rock and Rolla's Ayatollahs!!!!
bts is better ( to me)
Saw them live in 65
The Rolling Stones had the Beatles beat by a mile. Stones have the brilliant dark edge that the Beatles had never been able to achieve. Case closed.
John's voice was amazing in Twist & Shout...the best concert that The Beatles ever played
I'm better
@@brucezuccaro4584 Shut up.
@@brucezuccaro4584 Don't lie to yourself, dude. You aren't better than John.
Bruce Zuccaro you are dreaming and you are about to wake up and apologize to the Zeus of rock 🎸
Not sure about that, but that is some unimpeachable footage ain't it.
They really cut their teeth as a live act before they made it big; they'd have played literally thousands of ours lives before this gig.
They went downhill as a live act over time because they just couldn't hear themselves - but I agree with Lennon's assessment that they were a good lil' rock n' roll outfit for a while there.
Reading these witty and observant comments has certainly added to my enjoyment of this film.
Thank you all from a life long Beatles fan now in his 60s reliving the most joyous times of his youth during these toughest years the world has seen in his lifetime.
Stay at home. Stay safe and please continue to share your wit and keen observations. They lift all our spirits.
Hello! Thank you for sharing your feelings. I've been a fan since 13 and now I am 30... I know I'll love the boys my whole life!
