this was an iconic moment in popular culture barriers were broken down and the world became a more colourful happier place to grow up in i was 14 years old when i saw this performance on telly in black and white and still remember saying to myself the world has just changed for the better thankyou lads
@@Apprendista85 They would do it in D or C depending on in what condition was John's voice. This is the best, cleanest version of any and all I've heard. The one on the single was in C and awful compared to this.
Absolutely fantastic!!!!! One of the best performances of them live musically and instrumentally because of the lack of the screaming for this one Royal performance. Fantastic and utterly brilliant.
It's call slogging away 8 hrs a day in shitty German dive bars for 2.5 years. Not to mention the 200+ gigs at the Cavern Club back home. They worked to get this good and yes, talent and some serendipity helped, too.😊
@@johnllewlyndavies222 When they first recorded Twist and Shout for the very first time it was for the Please Please Me LP. Twist and Shout was the very last song they did and they had only ONE TAKE! John had a bad cold and a very sore throat for all that session, which was a 10 hour recording session, for the whole of the Please Please Me album, 10 songs!! The other 4 songs on the album had already been recorded because they were songs from the first two singles, Love Me Do and Please Please Me and their B sides. Twist and Shout was done in ONE TAKE at the end of that session, John did not have the strength left in his voice to have to do it again, more than one time, FACT.
Reminder of how young they were, when they did this show: This was on November 4th, 1963. John and Ringo were 23, Paul was 21, and George was 20. Basically college-age kids. Side note: Paul sounds massively nervous when he introduces the songs. He was usually out of breath at the end of songs just from the effort of singing, but this time he also sounded very nervous. Understandable!
@@Chad-gg9kh Paul admitted to being nervous, and as he said about the Shea Stadium gig, lennon stepped up to make them feel comfortable. The leader early on when it counted.
George plays that guitar so beautifully. Soft and subtle when needed. Accenting. Beautiful sound on lead and with the little frills in between. All while singing back up. They were amazing then! Then they got better! 😅❤
They were so young there...But sadly, just like all things, people too grow apart...But a least, for a brief moment in time and history, they were ONE and the world was at their feet...Long live The Beatles..

60 years ago, but still gives listeners goosebumps. Oh to have been hammered in some bar in Hamburg and watching them for hours back in the day.. the talent just explodes off the screen
This an amazing documentation of The Beatles early days. I hadn't realized just how explosive they were. Watching Get Back and their rooftop performance, I noticed this explosiveness was still there. I wish they would have been able to take advantage of modern concert technology all together as The Beatles, at least for a few shows. The Beatles are without a doubt the greatest band of all time.
You wonder with the technology, but it’s also sad to see so many great artists playing stadiums while they can barely sing their own songs. In some ways, it’s best that we got the Beatles when we did, and that was that.
This is musically phenomenal--it captures the early songs almost fresh off the record, and without the screaming Beatlemaniacs, you can hear every chord and note of the guitar work.
Each member of the Beatles has a unique personality that stimulates the eye. When those personalities come together, true art is formed. This makes us different from other groups.
"...and it's also been recorded by our favorite American group, Sophie Tucker." Classic and over looked pithy line. "For those of you in the cheaper seats. Clap your hands. And the rest of you just rattle your jewelry." Legendary and took the mick out of the gentry. In front of the Queen mother, no less.
A witty line from John but it also had a purpose in the set, getting a laugh from the audience to bring the energy back up for Twist and Shout after the slower ballad.
They had everything, perfect playing skills, efficient writing, cute looks, stage presence , jumping from a song after another so smoothly…and the joy on their face ! The best band…,
I saw Bob Dylan live recently at the London Palladium. Inbetween songs, he asked jokingly: "is the place where you're supposed to rattle your jewellery?"
All the hours and days playing in Hamburg made them the most diverse, multi-talented, tight rock band of the 60's. They didn't need a "Wrecking Crew" of studio musicians like the Beach Boys and countless other American acts. Even at this VERY young age (early 20's). Amazing to be that tight at that age.
"We'd like to carry on with a new song..." *Plays She Loves You* OK, I can comprehend the Beatles. But I don't think I can comprehend the idea that this is the first time these people ever heard this song. Hearing this live is incredible. I can't even imagine what it sounded like, or how many minds it blew performed live. The defects we hear in the recording are almost all defects of committing a live show to TV tape. At that moment, on the floor, the live-band sound would have been just as good as anything we can do today with guitars and amps and mics. Our historical record may not be perfect, but you can really hear a hint of how they would have sounded in real life. What a treasure this recording is.
I’m so glad I was born while all four of them were alive. Now it’s P & R. I’m thankful P & R are still with us. Thank you to all of them for generating amazing songs and music. They will always be my #1 band. Live on boys! Beatles 4ever!!

He was playing an exquisite blend of minor, diminished and augmented chords in the song Til There Was You. He could start with G7 and expand into just superb harmonies. George was simply the best guitarist of his era, and continued to be so and even more innovative with mastering the sitar, being taught by Ravi Shankar. A versatile and creative songwriter whose songs were hauntingly beautiful and evocative. George Harrison was a genius as a consummate guitarist who set the bar very high, and one of the best songwriters and singers as well, a marvelous voice. He'll always be one of my favorite musicians.

I watched this again for the first time in many years, after watching Paul's more recent concert "The Space within us".I had decided (after playing the guitar for over 50 yeas) that it was finally time to learn to play "Till there was you". I was just flabbergasted at how great this was. it was like I was watching the Beatles for the first time again. The thing is, they are playing these songs so well that they could be used as " takes" on an album..and that just doesn't happen for most bands! . However when there backs were against the wall and they had to perform - boy did they!! Like the last time they ever played live, on the roof of Apple . They had literally just wrote and learned those songs...and it was freezing up on that roof...George didn't even want to go up there...Yet they played the songs so well, those live recordings went straight onto the album "Let it be". Nobody else in the world could have done that- but these 4 guys....It was like a force greater than all of us was at play. I just am thankful I grew up during that time period!!
Raw and unedited the way it should be with no tampering and every song is perfect. Take notes, if you're good enough, this is how live playing is done and done right.
Paul sings pitch-perfect in "Till There Was You". They all had a lot of talent, but Paul was definitely the most talented....undoubtedly. He was also the greatest entertainer of them all.
Fabulous vocal by Paul on Till There Was You....and nice lead guitar from George! Over all their songs they proved they could re-produce their Recording Studio sounds especially the harmonies in She Loves She Loves You!!The only thing depressing me is the fact that this show was in 1963.....when I was 13 years old!!
Their earliest recordings were of the whole band playing a song several times and using the best take. That was after honing their beat with non stop gigging for hours at a time. On either the first or second Hamburg trip they played for 81 straight nights, anywhere from 10 pm until 2 am, 4am, and sometimes until dawn. Amazing!
And you have to know a bit about England to fully understand the joke. England is a fairly class-conscious place. Of course the Queen is at the top of the pyramid. And here come four working class guys from the northern England city of Liverpool who, in their Scouse accents, are making fun of all of it by telling the Queen to rattle her jewelry. Cheeky, as they say over there.
@@gordeauxd Actually, the Queen wasn't there: It was Queen Elizabeth's mother, Queen Elizabeth the "Queen Mum", sitting next to her other daughter, Princess Margaret. At the time, the Queen Mother was even more highly regarded than the Queen, so if Lennon had gone through with his plan to drop an F-bomb at that moment, that might have been the end of the Beatles right then and there.
He wanted to say, And threatened Brian that he was going to say, "rattle your fucking jewelry." Brian was having a fit cause he knew John would do it too and it would end their career. When John takes that little bow and points at the camera - that was him poking Brian, who very nearly fainted from relief that John kept it clean.
@@juanwhatelse John having a solo on a Beatles track is rare itself, but on video most of the time they cut to someone else while George is playing a solo.
As a ten year old back in december 1980 . i woke up one morning and could hear the TV downstairs and this news report was on & this clip "twist and shout " was being shown. i had no idea who this was and it blew me away. i begged my mum for some of their music and i was given the red album and from then on i was hooked......as a life time fan i still rate this performance as one of their best as you can see they were enjoying themselves and out to give a good performance for the crowd.
Yeah, I've been enjoying their music for many years. I just love what they created. You're right. They did enjoy making music and we have been enjoying it ever since. 👍
This is a pristine sounding performance (by the standard of the time). Later, because they couldn't hear themselves, their live performances started to suffer. So I'm glad this one exists to show just how good and tight they were as a band.
The audio is well mixed, I thought if was studio recordings dubbed. So many performances I've seen have been let down by poor recordings, limits of the audio, masked by screams etc. But this really captured the sound to compliment the brilliant musicianship the boys refined in Hamburg. George's guitar on point, harmonies and the rest, brilliant.
Brian Epstein's perfected direction-the suits, the bowing that. made four guys from Liverpool fit in perfectly with the royals. Also how perfect was 'Till There Was You" a classic that all the teens AND grannies would love. Also the hosts line at the end-hilarious!!!
John’s typical scouse humour, brilliant, my Saturday lunch time sessions in the Cavern, I am a kid again, John swearing on stage back then always shocked me. When they did cover versions of American artists which they learned from records brought back by the Cunard Yanks, lads from Liverpool who worked on the Cunard liners sailing between Liverpool & New York, as we called them back then. To become the most covered band in history.
Best example of how great a live band they were, outside of the rooftop concert, with great lead and harmony vocals, great original songs and instrumentation.
no one seems to ever know or talk about that the early Beatles found a way to rock really hard before distortion, the guitar effect, was invented. The songs may sound funny today but a big part of what shaped the songs was finding a way to rock out within the limitations of clean guitar. She Loves You is incredibly raucous for that time and still is.
@@joejones9520 Amps would distort back in the Beatles early period if the amp was run wide open. John was clearly getting distortion on Revolution. The invention that came later was cascading gain as invented by Randall Smith of Mesa Amps in 1971. Jimi Hendrix never had the luxury of cascading gain, but he was clearly getting distortion without it. I do agree about raucous nature of many if the Beatles early hits. But they ran clean up until Revolution.
@@joejones9520 you could get distortion in old amps by just turning up the volume dial. What we think of as volume in modern terms was actually controlled by gain.
Love this. Also, John's famous "rattle your jewelry" comment. I'd love to have seen the faces of some of the people in the audience right after that comment. LOL.
In Hamburg, the Beatles played 8 hours a day, 7 days a week. Malcolm Gladwell wrote, "By the time they had their first burst of success in 1964, in fact, they had performed live an estimated twelve hundred times."
I watched this live in black and white as a 14 year old . who was to know that John and George lives would end in tragedy which neither deserved. I loved the Beatles to this very day.
Such contrast in personalities. Paul is super nervous but happy and honored to be there. John is nervous too, but more in a "you're filthy rich and I hate you" kind of way. Many years later he would return his MBE.
I think "John the rebel against the ruling class" is rather overstated. He was no more "I hate you" towards the upper classes than the other 3, but he and Yoko built up a narrative around him as a "working class hero" (unlike the other 3 who actually were working class, he was middle class) and so much of what he did was performative - like returning his MBE. The Beatles, all 4 of them, rebelled and conformed as a group in different ways. They were sort of "packaged rebellion" and a "safe rebellion", hence they're here performing and bowing before the height of establishment. It doesn't make the revolution against the old ways that they ushered in any less earth-shattering. I just roll my eyes a bit at John being picked out as this particularly revolutionary figure. He was quite a narcissist and did a lot of things for that reason... Still love him.
John was not a hater. Look at his facial expressions when he makes that remark. Lot of boyish humility showing there. He was just having fun, being brilliantly witty.
Nice to hear a performance from this era without the screaming drowning them out. A very polished performance, better than the record. There have been very few bands that could do that.
Meet the Beatles was my first album I got it for Christmas. I was only 5 years old. We were riding in the car, with the radio turned on. I was singing, she looked at me and said do you know the words, I said yes, there my favorites.
Great clip! It's tougher than expected to find good-quality clips of the early Beatles performing live. (Well, "early" might be superfluous in context...given that they had to stop fairly early on, alas.) Strongly recommend the fairly recent book 150 Glimpses of The Beatles for anyone looking for a page-turner.
This was the early years fresh young and vibrant. A very well deserved performance for the royal family.Twist and Shout was a rocker and a good one for John Lennon..he actually did like performing this song because it was so..in the studio he did so many takes his voice was raw and the last take is the one that was chosen for release. Those were the days.

I watched this again for the first time in many years, after watching Paul's more recent concert "The Space within us".I had decided (after playing the guitar for over 50 yeas) that it was finally time to learn to play "Till there was you". I was just flabbergasted at how great this was. it was like I was watching the Beatles for the first time again. The thing is, they are playing these songs so well that they could be used as " takes" on an album..and that just doesn't happen for most bands! . However when there backs were against the wall and they had to perform - boy did they!! Like the last time they ever played live, on the roof of Apple . They had literally just wrote and learned those songs...and it was freezing up on that roof...George didn't even want to go up there...Yet they played the songs so well, those live recordings went straight onto the album "Let it be". Nobody else in the world could have done that- but these 4 guys....It was like a force greater than all of us was at play. I just am thankful I grew up during that time period!!
I'm glad I lived a long life. The Beatles are still the best.

Raw and unedited the way it should be with no tampering and every song is perfect. Take notes, if you're good enough, this is how live playing is done and done right.
They're truly legendary.
I was absolutely in love with those guys ❤❤❤❤ had every single they brought out,LP’s the lot. Photos of them plastered all over in my bedroom ❤❤❤❤
Paul sings pitch-perfect in "Till There Was You". They all had a lot of talent, but Paul was definitely the most talented....undoubtedly. He was also the greatest entertainer of them all.
He was also the hammiest and played to the audience the most.
John was the soul of the Beatles. Paul was too pop, like Wings. lennon was more acid.
Thanks for posting this. It's truly fabulous
Fabulous vocal by Paul on Till There Was You....and nice lead guitar from George! Over all their songs they proved they could re-produce their Recording Studio sounds especially the harmonies in She Loves She Loves You!!The only thing depressing me is the fact that this show was in 1963.....when I was 13 years old!!
Their earliest recordings were of the whole band playing a song several times and using the best take. That was after honing their beat with non stop gigging for hours at a time. On either the first or second Hamburg trip they played for 81 straight nights, anywhere from 10 pm until 2 am, 4am, and sometimes until dawn. Amazing!
Why be depressed? I was 10 & the 60s was my music period as in '71 when 18 I felt too old for Glam, Led Zeppelin & the rest.
En esa época ni siquiera mis padres habían nacido, como me hubiera encantado estar allí..
Paul and John's vocals are amazing what a band.
George provided some really good harmonies as well. Each Beatle was crucial in making them the Fab Four.
Quantos anos porém parecendo atual, como se completam esses 4 músicos geniais.👏👏👏👏
A thankfully preserved classic performance of the Beatles music and sense of humor!
"...and for the rest of you, just rattle your jewelry" There is no truer representation of what the Beatles mean to me than that.
And you have to know a bit about England to fully understand the joke. England is a fairly class-conscious place. Of course the Queen is at the top of the pyramid. And here come four working class guys from the northern England city of Liverpool who, in their Scouse accents, are making fun of all of it by telling the Queen to rattle her jewelry. Cheeky, as they say over there.
Ive read where he wanted to say "Fookin" jewelry...but Epstein talked him out of it
@@gordeauxd Actually, the Queen wasn't there: It was Queen Elizabeth's mother, Queen Elizabeth the "Queen Mum", sitting next to her other daughter, Princess Margaret. At the time, the Queen Mother was even more highly regarded than the Queen, so if Lennon had gone through with his plan to drop an F-bomb at that moment, that might have been the end of the Beatles right then and there.
He wanted to say, And threatened Brian that he was going to say, "rattle your fucking jewelry." Brian was having a fit cause he knew John would do it too and it would end their career. When John takes that little bow and points at the camera - that was him poking Brian, who very nearly fainted from relief that John kept it clean.
Nice to really hear the Beatles live so clearly. They were great live. This is a truly GREAT video with the visual & audio.
thanks Glad you enjoyed it!
I so very much love this!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
You are so welcome!
These were the songs on my very first albumn: meet the Beatles!
1:03 a rare moment of the camera people actually showing George while he's performing a solo
Every time George solos it cuts to a closeup of Ringo lol
I agree, camera editors back then were idiots
It’s actually rarer to find any footage of John playing a solo. I wouldn’t say watching George doing it is particularly rare
@@juanwhatelse John having a solo on a Beatles track is rare itself, but on video most of the time they cut to someone else while George is playing a solo.
As a ten year old back in december 1980 . i woke up one morning and could hear the TV downstairs and this news report was on & this clip "twist and shout " was being shown. i had no idea who this was and it blew me away. i begged my mum for some of their music and i was given the red album and from then on i was hooked......as a life time fan i still rate this performance as one of their best as you can see they were enjoying themselves and out to give a good performance for the crowd.
I love how they all smiled and enjoyed the music they made for everyone to enjoy
You could always tell when ot was a beatle song- they had a special something that always stood out
Yeah, I've been enjoying their music for many years. I just love what they created.
You're right. They did enjoy making music and we have been enjoying it ever since. 👍
Sigh... we are all 59 years older now, I miss the world of that time.
Our favorite American group...Sophie Tucker. The Beatles were just great, amazing! What a great time!!
Flippin' Amazing...I'm sharing this history with my grandkids...its too important not to carry forward...
This is a pristine sounding performance (by the standard of the time). Later, because they couldn't hear themselves, their live performances started to suffer. So I'm glad this one exists to show just how good and tight they were as a band.
The audio is well mixed, I thought if was studio recordings dubbed. So many performances I've seen have been let down by poor recordings, limits of the audio, masked by screams etc. But this really captured the sound to compliment the brilliant musicianship the boys refined in Hamburg. George's guitar on point, harmonies and the rest, brilliant.
They sure knocked it out of the park...as the old saying goes.
Brian Epstein's perfected direction-the suits, the bowing that. made four guys from Liverpool fit in perfectly with the royals. Also how perfect was 'Till There Was You" a classic that all the teens AND grannies would love. Also the hosts line at the end-hilarious!!!
Love it when George Harrison joins in with "She Loves You" backing vocals. It adds an extra bite to the song IMO 👍
Host: "Thank you, Beatles. So fabulous. So successful. So young. FRIGHTENING." {buries face in hands]
John’s typical scouse humour, brilliant, my Saturday lunch time sessions in the Cavern, I am a kid again, John swearing on stage back then always shocked me.
When they did cover versions of American artists which they learned from records brought back by the Cunard Yanks, lads from Liverpool who worked on the Cunard liners sailing between Liverpool & New York, as we called them back then.
To become the most covered band in history.
Best example of how great a live band they were, outside of the rooftop concert, with great lead and harmony vocals, great original songs and instrumentation.
no one seems to ever know or talk about that the early Beatles found a way to rock really hard before distortion, the guitar effect, was invented. The songs may sound funny today but a big part of what shaped the songs was finding a way to rock out within the limitations of clean guitar. She Loves You is incredibly raucous for that time and still is.
@@joejones9520 Amps would distort back in the Beatles early period if the amp was run wide open. John was clearly getting distortion on Revolution. The invention that came later was cascading gain as invented by Randall Smith of Mesa Amps in 1971. Jimi Hendrix never had the luxury of cascading gain, but he was clearly getting distortion without it. I do agree about raucous nature of many if the Beatles early hits. But they ran clean up until Revolution.
@@joejones9520 you could get distortion in old amps by just turning up the volume dial. What we think of as volume in modern terms was actually controlled by gain.
@@Ukraineaissance2014 goddamit i get so tired of people arguing about stupid shit, DISTORTION is what Im talking about, you fucking KNOW what I mean!
The announcer at the end was hilarious. Thank you for uploading this great show!
Love this. Also, John's famous "rattle your jewelry" comment. I'd love to have seen the faces of some of the people in the audience right after that comment. LOL.
..and the world would never be the same!
In Hamburg, the Beatles played 8 hours a day, 7 days a week. Malcolm Gladwell wrote, "By the time they had their first burst of success in 1964, in fact, they had performed live an estimated twelve hundred times."
That bass, fantastic
I watched this live in black and white as a 14 year old . who was to know that John and George lives would end in tragedy which neither deserved. I loved the Beatles to this very day.
They were " The greatest show on earth" , bar none !!!!
I picked up the guitar in '91 because I wanted to experience this same joy playing music. No other group makes me feel this way about guitar, everm
Such contrast in personalities. Paul is super nervous but happy and honored to be there. John is nervous too, but more in a "you're filthy rich and I hate you" kind of way. Many years later he would return his MBE.
I think "John the rebel against the ruling class" is rather overstated. He was no more "I hate you" towards the upper classes than the other 3, but he and Yoko built up a narrative around him as a "working class hero" (unlike the other 3 who actually were working class, he was middle class) and so much of what he did was performative - like returning his MBE. The Beatles, all 4 of them, rebelled and conformed as a group in different ways. They were sort of "packaged rebellion" and a "safe rebellion", hence they're here performing and bowing before the height of establishment. It doesn't make the revolution against the old ways that they ushered in any less earth-shattering. I just roll my eyes a bit at John being picked out as this particularly revolutionary figure. He was quite a narcissist and did a lot of things for that reason... Still love him.
I don't see any nervousness.
John was not a hater. Look at his facial expressions when he makes that remark. Lot of boyish humility showing there. He was just having fun, being brilliantly witty.
John's voice in Twist and Shout gave me immediate goosebumps. So much rasp and power, but so controlled.
Legends. Great musiscians song writers and four friends. LEGENDS!!
Incredible performance of till there was you
This was a Jam packed set, man
Nice to hear a performance from this era without the screaming drowning them out. A very polished performance, better than the record. There have been very few bands that could do that.
Such a great clear and well-played early performance. Too bad we can't hear more songs here. I Want To Hold Your Hand, This Boy, etc...
Pure Perfection in a live performance... The Greatest of all Time...The Beatles
Meet the Beatles was my first album I got it for Christmas. I was only 5 years old. We were riding in the car, with the radio turned on. I was singing, she looked at me and said do you know the words, I said yes, there my favorites.
It was one of my first two albums at Christmas, too. The other was The 4 Seasons "Big Girls Don't Cry."
Great clip! It's tougher than expected to find good-quality clips of the early Beatles performing live. (Well, "early" might be superfluous in context...given that they had to stop fairly early on, alas.)
Strongly recommend the fairly recent book 150 Glimpses of The Beatles for anyone looking for a page-turner.
This was the early years fresh young and vibrant. A very well deserved performance for the royal family.Twist and Shout was a rocker and a good one for John Lennon..he actually did like performing this song because it was so..in the studio he did so many takes his voice was raw and the last take is the one that was chosen for release. Those were the days.
A maior e melhor banda de todos os tempos,os Beatles são sagrados e soberanos na música.
