i don't know why the audio is too low
Maybe because the film is 59 years old .
If anyone complains just tell them they're lucky it's there at all.
Just turn it up a bit and it's very improved
mine was too - had the sound as high as possible
I have a good stereo, but it couldn't do much with the audio here.
In just a few more years the band wraps it up. They only lasted a very short time but totally changed music history. Unbeaten to this day
The Beatles lasted longer than a WHOLE DECADE, they were a band before they got famous.
The Beatles were together for a total of nearly 8 years. They did not break up for more than 6 years after this show.
@@LTrotsky21stCenturywow 6 years is such a long time….oh wait no it isn’t.
5 years and 45 days later they would be performing at the rooftop, mindblowing
and all those albums they did in that span of time.
absolutely incredible!!
Isn't it crazy how advanced technology got in those 5 years...I mean its like the world turned from 40s and 50s style in the early 60s to modern day in the late 60s. Crazy
@@MrShenanigans28 it wasn´t only the technology, it was a huge cultural transformation, hippies, drugs, colours, new cinema, new music, new theater, new clothes, new ideas, it all changed very quickly
@@AngelHadzi exactly. Without a doubt one of the most significant decade in the modern age. And I still can't get over how absolutely killer the music was. Every band was a hit
A few years later, Joe Cocker will be singing With A Little Help From My Friends as an hymn of unity and tolerance, at the mythical Woodstock Festival, in 1969.
Beatles always said that this was their favorite television appearance of all time.
Most Americans, well all of 'em don't realise who Eric & Ernie are & how famous. They actually also appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show but sadly not appreciated. Funny I can't see one Ed Sullivan Show at all. Why?
It was a great live performance wasn't it?
Before the partying got to them!
I'm not sure about the comedians. But the Beatles seem to be at the top of their game as a stage band. I just don't understand how anybody questions their musicianship.
Elton John once said to be on their show was like being invited to do a Royal Command Peformance. That's how big a deal they were.
So funny to see Paul so typically Paul, nodding his head with such a cute expression on his face. So very very young. And still with it now in his senior years!!! What a blessing we still have him.
Of all TV-shows they did, this is Pauls personal favourite.
Bathing in the adulation. Some of it deserved. Some of it STOLEN.
@@Kermit_T_Frog Stolen from who?
This is just amazing! Two months before they went to the States. Almost surreal to hear them without the screaming girls.
Good catch! The absence of screaming - that's what's so different (and better) about this.
@@kevinohalloran7164 The Word Beatle Mania was used during their first trip to the US. It’s funny how America loved them and yet how it all turned sour from one misinterpreted comment made by John Lennon. I wonder though if at the time the Beatles were aware of how many young American males were growing their hair and starting bands? Practically every music documentary I watch about bands from that era or beyond nearly all Quote how watching the Ed Sullivan show „ changed their lives“ one thing is for sure. The Beatles started a massive music revolution.
@@fretboardmaster70 well said Chris. 4 working class guys with music in their hearts, a desire to get girls and a way up n out of Liverpool. The satire of this echoes to how 10 years later George was visited by Eric Idle in LA to rescue Python's Life of Brian.
Bless those boys.
The audience for Morecambe and Wise were mainly middle aged hence no screaming.
@@fretboardmaster70 the first use of the word Beatlemania was in a newspaper in October 1963. Four months before they went to the US. There’s many people who claim to be responsible for coining the word tho.
As great as the music is I love how Lennon laughs with the dad joke quip. You can tell that comeback caught him off guard. Those are two top notch comedians! I’ve never seen this! What a great part of musical tv history and the Beatles performance is impeccable!
It’s a shame most of their live performances were drowned out by screaming fans. We never really got to see the Beatles truly rock out live. I’d love to see their every Hamburg shows live
Yes, after the Beatles broke up, John claimed (eg in the interview with Jann Wenner) that he had hated having to perform for middle of the road audiences like this, and that the Beatles had sold out to make it, but you can tell from his spontaneous reaction that he was loving every moment of it - and why not!
Motcombe and Wise were sort of the American Rowan and Martin..
Lancashire has bred some amazing talent - the Beatles, Eric Morecambe, Stan Laurel all came from Lancashire.
Morecambe and Wise are an institution in the UK, equally as famous as the Beatles. Catch their BBC 1970s shows & excerpts. The Beatles here are in awe of them.
200 and 300 years from now, when people study the history of the 20th century, the history of music and the history of art, these four men and what they accomplished will be a topic.
after a band like the beatles how did we get in such a mess
@@guitarstella1 🤣 1929 - After rag time, how did we get in such a mess?
1940 - After Rudy Valli, how did we get in such a mess?
1957 - After Sinatra, how did we get in such a mess?
1964 - After Elvis, how did we get in such a mess?
See where I’m going? 😉
Six men...
@@arkady714 Yes, I see. They were *all* correct..
@@arkady714 no but honestly then it was only seemingly going in the right direction and now its only going downhill
Paul has been on record saying that this was The Beatles favorite TV appearance. It shows.
This was that golden time period - The London Palladium and Royal Command Performance and all other LIVE shows taking it all the way to the US Ed Sullivan Show in February 64. After which, it becomes ALL screams. You could still hear them here, pre-Sullivan.
@UCLuGs3DBEPJX0bFvXEBctmQ Got it. After the release and success of Please Please Me single and album they were on their climb. I know that that moved over Helen Shapiro on the winter tour and then with Chris Montez and Roy Orbison to follow. It was building.
Brilliant. Thank heaven not all early recordings have been lost. The whole of the UK must have fallen in love with The Beatles after this show.
We were in love with them already
By the end of the summer in 1963 after the Royal Variety Show at the London Palladium, virtually all of the United Kingdom knew about the Beatles & loved them by parents & grandparents of their agog children. I was agog. Their ritual bow after every song cemented it. Rmbr Brian Epstein who without there would have been no Beatles & cleaned their act up & with George Martin musically they would never have progressed. The Beatles were in fact a 6 man band.
Already top of the pops in England before this.
Eleven days after JFK was assassinated and 2 month before they played on Ed Sullivan’s show. A cultural tidal wave was about to slam into our world and these young lads were riding that wave all the way through the rest of the decade.
And they were UP for the task. Shape shifters.
Yeah and us 8 year olds had no clue what was underfoot. Such a strange convergence in a way. No Dallas, no Beatles? Would they have been the Bay City Rollers? No Beatles no Bay City Rollers? I haven't see an alternate history that goes in-depth on what it would have been like.
America didn't make the Beatles.
They were already big before they got there.
@@Colley1973What if "no Dallas" is a question I've pondered many times. There may have been a healing process that the Beatles helped us with.
@ericthefish01 As were the Bay City Rollers. However, without what happened in January 1964 in the US, do the Beatles have the same small cultural footprint of the Rollers? It's a fascinating "what-if"?
I worship the Beatles but I've never seen this before. This is amazing!
It sure is...how wonderful and funny.
It's my British TV in the 60s. Morecambe & Wise were a nationally loved duo as much & probably more so than the Beatles. An institution.
I can remember watching this on the night it was broadcast.
Great to see the full show rather than the clips. Morcambe and Wise also appeared on the Ed Sullivan show which the Beatles appeared on too.
@@sanddancer1951Do you remember Fireball XL5 too? It's on TH-cam you know!
They’re babies! John should not be able to wail so soulfully at that age. It’s unreal how talented they are here. To think in 6 years it would all be over and they would have created one of the most influential catalogs of music in history.
All I have to do is revisit some of their earlier videos like this one to realize why I have been in love with The Beatles my entire life.
Me too ❤
Nice to hear the Beatles without the screaming! Best band ever of my generation! 🎶🎶🎸
Or any other generation!
Best ever in all generations..i'd say..
Live performances of 'This Boy' always intrigue me, Lennons middle 8 solo part, the bit where he sings "but oh my-y-y-y" is a tough line, you either push through and reach for a quite blind note and hope the gods let it land or you anticipate by backing off and softening/changing the shape of the throat to hit the high note smoothly, John pushes through this time but his voice cracks and blows the high note, you just know it was a bit of the song they were aware of, especially Paul who was always looking for perfection, but watch them doing it on Ed Sullivan, John anticipates and softens it to hit it sweetly and Paul lights up like a christmas tree, you can tell he's watching for it and looks so proud that Johns nailed it on such an important performance
That's a brilliant observation. This Boy is a test for a real singer. I've heard him sing it 100 times. He could deliver.
@@Wheresthelove7 Thanks man, and yes 'that boy' could definitely deliver, I noticed on a few performances Paul actually joining in on that line too as to mask any faux-pas, it's funny the things you pick up on eh
@@npc3po301
Astute comment. It's one of those vocal lines which you're already thinking about from the very beginning of the song. I feel that the trick is to relax and not to tighten up but that's easier said than done some times!
ERIC MORECAMBE AND ERNIE WISE WERE SUPERSTARS IN BRITAIN. THIS WAS A VERY IMPORTANT TV APPEARANCE FOR THE BEATLES IN THEIR ONGOING CONQUEST OF THE POP WORLD.
I heard in an interview it was their favourite tv appearance
And it looks like they invented dead parrots and silly walks long before circuses could fly
THANK YOU! YOU DON’T HAVE TO TYPE IN CAPS!
The Beatles, probably for the last time. we're the star-struck ones
@@smart-ytvideos Noticed that too. The Pythons were _definitely_ influenced by these two top-notch funnymen. In my humble opinion, their act is as tight as Fab Four's in it's own way.
60 years later it still sounds great !!!
I'm 63, and I've loved the Beatles since I saw them on the Ed Sullivan show when I was 4. It's just amazing how I can still find new footage, hear new audio, and Learn new information about them. I just read Mark Lewison's book " tune in " and couldn't put it down. To see and hear them like this is incredible. Talent, personality, humor; they had it all!
Such a great book. I wish he'd hurry up and finish Vol 2.
Their harmonies always sounded very warm live.
Harmonies were fantastic.
Six British icons on the stage at the same time. Without doubt another piece of history where two sets of genius “ come together “
No pun intended.
John had such a voice!
Pure talent and sureness.
Art school was a waste oof time for him.
His voice was his art.
So true!!
He was and still is pure class x
Never know the inspiration art school gave him
Most musicians from England in the 60s went to art school
@@abcxyz53 John was Paul's inspiration musically speaking in pop music.
Paul's love for older type songs, was a big part of his song writing, though I really loved Paul's earlier works with his beautiful words he could fit together in them, I preferred John's poetic style in producing lyrics much more.
But, John and Paul's writing together was marvelous and magical.
And, that, I will always love. Forever.
John's rhythm guitar on All My Loving is exquisite. No wonder he's opted out of the backing vocals. Tricky 6-8 strumming technique.
Playing those triplets for so long is not an easy task! And he nailed it!
@@Mr.56Goldtop Following the 3-4 time This Boy. He, the Beatle who would experiment with time signatures.
I had All My Loving in my set (gtr singer) up to about 3 or 4 years ago and I would sometimes just pat my head and make circles on my belly instead of attempting the strum..
Btw, The Beatles' parents were from some faraway galaxy, just happened-by Earth around late 1930s, decided to hang around.
Indeed, John Lennon was a massively underrated guitarist. Not in the same category as the big solo players that came to prominence later but that isn't everything. He was way more than just a strummer and a good rhythm guitarist doesn't often get much recognition. He was a truly great rhythm guitarist.
@@Mr.56Goldtop They're not triplets.
Two fabulous Acts never to be repeated again. I'm so happy that people like this where in my life absolutely magical memories
This was so cool to see them really enjoying themselves. Belly laughs and all. Really seeming like they were enjoying themselves! Great to see!
The Beatles are the greatest phenomenon ever in show business PERIOD!
Before Elvis, there was nothing ! - John Lennon
@@ITILII elvis died when he went into the army - john lennon
Chemistry at its best!
The rolling stones were more important
Shows mostly boring other than Beatles imo
Now you know why they were so confident and witty when they got to the states. Or when they filmed A Hard Day's Night. They'd already appeared on British TV several times doing comedy skits like this one. They did an hilarious 15 min faux Shakespeare comedy bit on another brit TV show with a lot of ad libbed lines. The brit shows were really different from US shows.. The brit shows were comedic and required the Beatles to participate. It turned out to be magnificent training.
I think they'd already gotten their comedy chops while trying to entertain drunken sailors and gangsters in Hamburg, during those colossal 8 hour sets they used to perform...😉
they were all big fans of the goon show
By the end of the decade, these Liverpool lads were (as a group) no more, however what they achieved during their time and the impact they had on society, culture and popular music in general is just beyond comprehension. it’s 2022 and guess what? we are still listening to and discussing the Beatles.
In this live performance of "I Want to Hold Your Hand," they must have blown the minds of many record company execs who watched this....... In December of 1963, the Beatles were already consummate professionals, as shown here.
Actually the record execs in the States were indifferent to The Beatles.
Capitol, a subsidiary of EMI, was practically told to sign up the Beatles but Capitol was not interested so The Beatles was leased to Vee Jay.
When Felton Jarvis of ABC Paramount heard the “PLEASE PLEASE ME” album, he called it “crap”.
The only reason “She Loves You” was even released in the States was because Swan Records got EMI to release Freddy Cannon in the UK if Swan would release The Beatles in the US, a one for one trade deal.
Snuff Garrett considered signing The Beatles on Liberty but hesitated the same time Capitol finally decided to sign up The Beatles.
@Michael that’s some good knowledge 👍 not a lot of people are aware of their Vee Jay
album; Introducing the Beatles. It actually sounds incredible VeeJay was a good little label
@@aunch3 Veejay was primarily a jazz and black label. not much rock on the VJ label I promise you that
@@michaelmckenna6464 Capitol passed on The Beatles because EMI had been sending them British tracks that were not selling in the IS - Capitol having first dibs on anything EMI
This Boy is one of my Dads favourite Beatles songs, excellent 👌🏻
That's a priceless episode of Morecambe and Wise. How fresh the Beatles are. They're literally four lads from Liverpool at that point. Their accents are much stronger.
It's amazing really, they've only just arrived yet the Beatles 'ooooo' is already a known trope as evident by the use of it to close Moonlight Bay
no they're not they always spoke like that
" They're literally four lads from Liverpool at that point" - No shit, sherlock....
Live singing, live instruments. The singing is really beautiful by John and Paul in this performance. Try and find clips with this quality from 1965 - like chalk and cheese.
Gotta love the sound from this !!!🤪🤪🤪 Raw and powerful. Voices are unreal for live and probably no real sound engineer .Plus listen to Ringo….. !!!! Crazy. Great to really hear his snare and bass drum . Most live shows the sound of the drums and little things are drowned out by screaming . Fantastic video to be enjoyed by any fan of the Fab 4 .!🤪👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Keep an eye on Ringo and see and hear why he is one the best drummers for this genre on the planet!
The musical world was about to witness a once-in-a-lifetime revolution. Glad I witnessed it.
Ringo, a left handed drummer playing on a right handed drum kit. Goes to show how good he was and still is.
Ringo was regarded as the best off-beat drummer in the U.K. when he joined The Beatles.
I like that so many are returning to the Beatles lately. They will never go out of style.
This is a gem! Thanks for uploading!
John Lennon have a mind-blowing voice that for this day is unbeaten
when they were still enjoying the performing and appearing with M&W who they greatly admired - Paul's favourite tv appearance - great to see the full show
This was 17 years to the day before I was born. The Beatles were the best band to ever exist. Everything that followed wouldn't exist without their presence.
Terrific! Thanks for this. I'd heard the 'Moonlight Bay' (on the 'Anthology 2' album?) segment
before, but could only picture it
in my mind. How great to finally see it! You can tell that The Beatles were having the time of their lives. Morecambe & Wise were revered in the U.K.
This Boy - an excellent lesson in three-part harmony from the fab four...
We are lucky to witness this piece of history. Encore!!!
If you are British (as the Beatles were) this is a meeting of domestic genius.
you're right too many Yanks with their shit views on here
The Beatles: The Gift that Keeps on Giving. How they managed all they accomplish in their relatively short span as a band blows my mind. Love seeing this truly live early performance where we can actually hear these musical geniuses singing without all the screaming. And some comedy to boot!
Never saw this! Amazing! First time to see the bass drum without Ludwig! So great! THX!
John was a true musical genius, i still watch clips like this and remember how sad i was the day he was cruelly taken from us.
Man!! They are so good!! Nobody else can make that song work like the Beatles can!! I want to hold your hand!!
This is awesome
I’m an American and a millennial. I came here as a Beatle fan and left here a Morcombe & Wise fan. One of the best comedic duos from this particular era that still holds up today, I didn’t think I was gonna laugh that much when first watching this, and it makes me understand the gravity of the fab four & M & W onstage together.
My mom was 19 when The Beatles became popular right after this show aired. Now she has dementia and on dialysis. Makes me sad how far away this was. Time is weird like that. I grew up in the early 90s and i was a menopausal baby. So i grew up listening to Beatles and all these 50s and 60s classics because my parents were born in 30s and early 40s. Crazy. Can't believe how time goes. These videos are but reminders of the past ❤
Great to see this! Thank you for posting the complete show...
The Beatles sound is best when Paul and John sing together. But the more you listen to them the more you realise how important John’s lead vocals were to their success. It’s odd that he hated the sound of his voice and always tried to change it when they were in the studios.
👍🏻
Black and white Show? Wow! It’s hard to go back to that now. But it’s a good recording of the Beatles. Well preserved for posterity.
Thanks for uploading this program! And thanks to TH-cam!
I never would have seen this if it wasn’t for YT! It’s like a time capsule!
Great stuff! 👏🏻🎸😎
All TV transmission in the UK was monochrome. Colour did not arrive until much later in the 1970s.
@@ds1868 They should colorize it now!
wow? History eludes you.
@@namcat53 No, it’s just that Life is in Color! Does Reality elude you? It appears to.
I’m aware of Historical Black and White footage from the past. I also don’t like it because it’s not the complete picture. It doesn’t capture the scenes like color film does.
Sure, it’s better than nothing but life was never in black and white. It was always in color! Do you get that reality or not?
So your history eludes me comment is nonsense!
Reality eludes you. History was never in black and white! Color film 🎞 just didn’t exist yet. So they filmed everything with what they had. But it’s inaccurate!
So to colorize it now makes sense! Now it’s easier to do this and gives old footage new life.
And my proof is the film 🎞 by Peter Jackson They will Never Grow Old! He remastered and colorized old WW1 footage and the result is an amazing film which brings all those long since deceased soldiers in the film back to life almost in glorious color! It’s astonishing how many details this process brought out that were not evident before! It’s like a fleshing out effect! It’s an incredible film now as a result!
Does History elude him as well? Or did he almost bring it back to life? I’d agree with the latter!
colour tv arrived in the UK in 1967.
a pleasure to hear the Beatles again
This is brilliant. Loved their personalities coming through before they got older & more serious. My favourite Beatles are in the early days.
This is the most unbelievably amazing video on TH-cam.
I can’t believe how good the comedy is from Eric an Ernie. Seems much better than their later stuff. Had me laughing out loud, and then, casually, whose on next?... only the Beatles! They were brilliant, and then so funny with their acting. I was left gobsmacked, staring at the end screen for 5 mins. This was 10 days after Kennedy was shot and 69 days before Ed Sullivan.
Why does this not have a billion views?😮
All My Loving was the song playing at the hospital as John was in the OR. This is per one of the doctors there that night. Thank you for this wonderful upload.
all my loving is Paul's song and somehow this makes it even sadder
That is sad
So much hard road experience by this time = Best rock performers of the day hands down.
Two wonderful, all-conquering talents in a pre-colour, early 60s, UK culture sound & vision extravaganza … ❤️The Beatles❤️ with ❤️Morecambe & Wise ❤️ … my love for both acts knows no end - what a blessing this is!!!
From Melbourne, 🇦🇺
I actually prefer bw TV. TV sets now don't allow you to go completely bw sadly.
Listen how great they sound and great live singing before the screaming made it impossible to hear themselves
60 years later and still top of the charts with Now and Then
If the beatles never came into existence..life would have been dull and uneventful for the baby boomers and the rest that came after..
Great songs and great arrangements executed expertly yet casually
What a great live band they were!
I was born1965. This show was just before my time/I'm from Birkenhead and Liverpool. So loved their music growing up.
Ringo's right hand...I don't think you can teach that...It's just a gift from the music gods.
In 2 months, the world would change forever. I was 6 years old living in Queens NY when on Feb. 7, 1964 they first landed at Kennedy Airport for the Ed Sullivan show. I'll never forget my next door neighbor looking skyward, jumping up and down, screaming....they're here, that's their plane!!! I looked up and the image ingrained in my memory forever was the Pan AM logo on the tail of their plane!
Yes, I was 7, living in Queens. We didn't have a TV yet; I missed The Beatles, been trying to catch up ever since. Next day, a lot of the girls were talking about The Beatles in school, 2nd grade, mind you! It all started then.
@@kevinohalloran7164 yeah, we're both the same age, it was truly an incredible time...right after Kennedy's assaination I remember too! I was 5 and ran out to the street on my block, looking for Kennedys ambulence!
@@turk5832 Wow, a 5-year-old aware of the sadness of the President being shot, and 7-year-old girls already Beatles fans. No wonder the '60s were amazing!
@@kevinohalloran7164 so much going on...the assassinations, Apollo missions, Vietnam, etc. I remember watching the evening news and seeing clips of wounded US soldiers engaged in firefights, body bags....at the end of the broadcast, a guy standing in front of a tote board tallying up the dead for the week and where....the number 250 always stood out in my mind.
@@turk5832 A news report from Vietnam on M-16s jamming, men on the moon, then Woodstock 3 weeks later. I delivered the Long Island Press covering the Apollo missions and Woodstock, among others. And the Beatles had changed so much by then. And I didn't know yet about something called country-rock or a new band called Led Zeppelin.
They seem so serious and professional. Totally focused on performing the songs until called upon to joke about.
John's voice sounds really nice and smooth here.
Greatest group world has ever seen then and nowxxxxx
It was nice to actually hear the Beatles without the screaming.
Thank you for posting. Haven’t seen them since 1964.
Morecombe & Wise, and the Beatles. Who could want more ...
Me
So charming. Mental that I'm sat here watching this now and both the Beatles and Morecambe & Wise are younger than me.
Wow, some Beatles tape I've never seen before! And undubbed! Really great.
Lennon on “this boy”makes the whole song memorable
Those drums sounds so good on I want to hold your hand. So raw and punk in good way.
No punk or raw; those are ridiculous adjectives. Good drumming swings; no "raw..punk" meaningless phrases involved.
@Trixie K Then The Beatles invented punk in the Hamburg and Cavern days.
@Trixie K no shit
@Trixie K and?
Such an important piece of footage here. To see the Beatles pre-Sullivan, and a respectful crowd so we can hear their genius. That performance of This Boy (my favorite of their real early songs) is just breathtaking. They truly are something else. The reason we worship them so much is not only cause they wrote the greatest music in the world, but also how equally normal and abnormal their story is. They really were just four regular working class guys*, and pure coincidence brought them together, and they not only changed music for ever, but I'd argue they changed world history. We see so much humanity in them. Their story is just too perfect, and such a celebration of music, life and achieving the most wild of your dreams. I hate to be the most typical of Beatles fans and read wayyyy too much into them, but I can't help it. Thank god for them.
*(I say four regular guys but all know they were also fucking geniuses so that helps, too)
Diciembre 2, 2023. 60 años ya de este fantástico show y el divertido sketch con los genios de Liverpool. Larga vida a The Beatles.
Absolutely top notch set of performances. Just imagine if was recorded by modern systems. Blind Freddy could see they were going to make history worldwide.
It was a modern system then & 8 Track improved it & in fact it's never been bettered as today's zillion Tracks just drown songs. Go back to 4 & 8 tracks & songs would be better for it than today's mush. Less is more.
God!!! George was just dying of shyness...🤣😂 How cute he looks 🥰😍
Eric: "So what's it like being famous?"
John: "Well it's not like in your day, ya know."
😂
This was live omg sounds wonderfull the voices were so well done the nights in hamburg really paid off sutch a tight group Thanks for This
If I ever got to meet Paul or Bongo, I mean, Ringo, I would certainly ask them about this show! What a great and historical episode! It was GEAR!
"Hello Bongo" bruh im crying hahahahaha ty for this
Thanks for dropping an ad in the middle of All My Loving. Very thoughtful of you dude.
Wow I feel old I remember watching this on TV With me mum and dad, I can’t believe 4 out of the 6 are gone. Where have all the years gone.
Many thanks for uploading. There was some exceptional talent on stage that night!!
This is amazing. I had heard segments of this on one of the Beatles Anthology albums but have never actually seen the show until now. Great to see the best British band and one of the best British comedy duos at the top of their game coming together. A great piece of TV history and the Beatles themselves had at one point said this was their favourite appearance on TV. So awesome to know these early recordings of the Beatles are not lost and still exist. We sre so lucky, thanks for posting.
That guy even out witted lennon with the little dad comeback. 😂😂😂
You are 100% correct... The BEST part of the WHOLE video... To see John laughing so hard is wonderful...
Yes! Eric was one of the best live comedians of his generation. No surprise John comes off second best on his turf. At least John took it in good humour
"Get out of that one" George got in a good one!
@@tomprall8635 One of Eric's catch phrases.
What a wonderful show...Really enjoyed it. Morecambe and Wise as funny as ever (now I know where Vic and Bob get it from) and great to see The Beatles in their pre Beatlemania days performing without the screamers in the audience. One thing they all had in common was they shared that dry Northern Wit, wonderful stuff.
This was very much the Beatlemania days in Britain. It’s The Morecambe and Wise audience for their show recorded for the BBC hence no screamers were invited
Since this was a very popular show and virtually all British bands got inspired from watching the Beatles, I wonder what future stars got their career going on this night.
Brilliant !
amazing - All My Lovin', salute to Ringo, proof that the Beatles had the greatest drummer ever, they knew that then and always did
I love Lennon's reaction to "you only got a little dad...." Genuine laughter.
Just downright budding genius! Moonlight Bay really brought out their child-like charm and humor!
Can't believe I had never seen this before. They were already great 👍
Love it, It still shine today, more than ever!
You've got to realise that Morecombe and Wise were the biggest act on TV in GB at that time and for a long time to come!, the Beatles were honoured to get such exposure then, but they joined in the mayhem that characterised Morecombe and Wise and gained by it.
