The Beatles "Last Live Show" Candlestick Park, SF August 29, 1966 as recorded by Beatles publicist Tony Barrow. Best available audio with a nice coliseum echo on the vocals. (HD-720p)
Someone applied some heavy stereo reverb with lots of pre-delay to make it sound extra-spacious. Reminds me of the crazy reverb that was applied to the U.S. version of “She’s A Woman” on the _Beatles ’65_ album…but even more so. (A few of you know what I’m talking about.)
@@ahcapella That's true, and it's nice to hear the "cleaner" version mentioned above...but it does work to recreate the sonic quality of what one might have experienced being there...you know, the "big stadium" sound.
@@CaptainAlsClassroom That’s true; it certainly has a big stadium sound. And it helps somewhat mask the (unfortunately) low sonic quality of this particular recording. (I’m assuming THIS is the recording Tony Barrow made on a portable cassette recorder, at Paul’s urging.) If everyone had known this would be The Beatles’ last live show (not counting the legendary rooftop appearance), I’m guessing arrangements would have been made to record it properly, with multiple mics, a mixing board and a half-inch 4-track reel-to-reel tape deck running at 15 ips.

Yes, he was the heart of the Beatles, I don't care what anyone says, John, George, and Ringo were so lucky to have Paul in a band with them, he was such a talent and a performer, he has the whole package. It shows in this performance, in almost every song Paul is outshining the rest because his heart was in it. I feel bad for Paul, he probably never wanted to stop live performances, I bet he felt pressured by John and George to stop. I mean John and George had valid reasons to stop, but I feel Paul was born for the stage. He was denied for three years, three years during his prime as a performer to perform, it's like the Muhammed Ali story of being banned from fighting. It was not quite the same in the 69 performance on the roof. I always felt the Beatles should not have given up live performances in 66, they should have just not toured, maybe done a few TV shows live and one-off shows here and there, not full-blown tours. I felt the Beatles never went back on the road, was because of George. He didn't want to do anything post-66. He was just going through the motions. His heart was in India by that point
@@SadKenRockBottom Paul might´ve been the most driven Beatle and most skilled instrumentalist, but John was the genius. Lennon saw things other humans being didn´t, he was truly unique. So although Paul was very important to Beatles, Lennon was equally important. Believe me, a band with only Paul, George and Ringo would be considered a boy band, not a rock band. Lennon gave Beatles credit in the rock world. That´s why he´s idolized by artists like Ozzy, Bowie, Mercury, Cobaine, Cooper, Mustaine, Lemmy, Gallagher etc.
@@gringo557 I remember reading somewhere that for the last half-dozen shows on this tour they had somewhat rudimentary monitors for the first time ever. On some shots taken on that tour you can see them stage front, facing back at the boys. Must have been an absolute revelation to actually hear themselves. When you think that both John and George had 100-watt Vox stacks and Paul a 200-watt bass version. That was it. Amazing.
Paul was a little flat. Sorry. Don't get me wrong. I am a huge Beatle fan. Paul is a musical genius and a great vocalist, but he was flat here. He probably couldn't here himself above the screams.
Ha ha. He's doing that thing he must have picked up from listening to George's classical Indian record collection (the penultimate long "ahhh" near the end of the guitar solo). It's a long descending raga-like scale, and he must have liked it so much that it stuck with him the whole summer, so he not only used it during the fade out to I Want To Tell You on the recent Revolver album ("...I've got ti -i-i-i-i-i-i-me..."), he also felt inspired to use it in the instrumental break here in George's other 1966 song. Whether it was pre-planned and had started making a regular thing of it whenever they played the song that summer, or it was a spontaneous thing that only happened here, I do not know. It would be really epic if was an unplanned thing. The last gig on Earth. Paul sings the high G during George's guitar solo and reveals his true nature. Transforming into an angel of white light, his Hofner violin bass falls to the stage floor and mcCartney slowly ascends to the heavens as pure energy. God-like 😉
This warms my heart and makes me sob a little bit to know I will never be able to see a Beatles show. The atmosphere of this show feels so grand and so harmonious.
It’s unbelievable to hear them hitting these notes(singing), most likely not really being able to hear too much. It still sounds incredible. Their harmonies were soooo darn magical.
She's a Woman, what a great song by Paul, he sings the melody in that gravely rockin' way he uses & the backing is just that time signature. What a band.
@@htwa Don't be sad cos what's here is a wonderful generous helping of Paul at his finest from start to finish. Such good fortune it got recorded so we can hear it nearly sixty years later. SIXTY years, can you believe that? So much energy simply won't be contained, it bursts out of your speakers straight to your soul. That is timelessness. And thank the Universe for Some Other Guy at the Cavern Club 1962. Long Tall Sally @ Candlestick must have really connected with you. For me, Yesterday was simply jaw dropping. I think I read that The Beatles knew this was going to be their last concert, so maybe they put their all into it. George too! I mean - it seems that on every live performance of If I Needed Someone, George sounds a little overwhelmed and unsure of himself. Here, there's much more confidence and real feeling is there. It makes his song feel much more powerful. I'm definitely coming back to this concert again soon, to give it another listen.
Did anyone at the time think this was it for live performances? John’s last live gig for pay. For John the future held a rooftop show and a couple of benefit shows.
I can't believe they were able to pull off Paperback Writer live! It had so much going on with all those backup vocals, as well as studio effect and multiple guitar parts, etc - Awesome
I love how the pictures align with the songs they were singing like for example Ringo singing I Wanna Be Your Man with the picture of him singing the song
Set list: Rock and Roll Music (Chuck Berry cover) She's a Woman If I Needed Someone Day Tripper Baby's in Black I Feel Fine Yesterday I Wanna Be Your Man Nowhere Man Paperback Writer Long Tall Sally. * Revolver was already out, but no songs of that album were played here. A very similar set list to what was played in Budokan and the Philippines.
John and Paul were like bread and butter it took the two of them to put the beatles on the map the best group ever never be another group like them ever there music will live on
Just earlier the month of this performance they put out songs like I’m Only Sleeping, She Said She Said, I Want To Tell You, Tomorrow Never Knows lol. And here they are playing Rock And Roll Music and Long Tall Sally.
Where has this been hiding? I'm getting old, but I don't remember hearing about this recording. At the very least, I think it's as good, if not better than the "Officially Released" LIVE AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL. IMO- Too bad the last song gets cut off. However, Thanks for this.
I was there, sitting on the first base side...the wind was swirling so much that the sound came in and out, but it was still a lifetime experience....great to hear this audio so many years later!
Ir's a pity that that they didn't want to continue singing live. When i was a teneager i had the fantasy to see them singing Sargent Pepper 's hits record
I sometimes think did like any of who went there actually realize they were hearing historically brilliant music as well as getting to witness the huge phenomena of the 60's from their screaming.
This recording sounds like they have their guitars tuned up a half step, which gives it a unique but still amazing sound. Even the harmonies, almost doesn’t sound like the Beatles. When they performed Day Tripper in the Budokan Arena it sounded real heavy. Very distorter and downtuned guitar sound on that recording as well.
@@antonematos6241 Not at all tuned half step, simply just ever so slightly out of tune. They have very little moment to tune up on stage, along with no such thing as electronic tuners back then.
Yeah there were different eras, the Prelly days, the Pot smoking days, the LSD days, and the Heroin days. Kind of blunt but the drugs they were doing was a huge influence in the music.
@@CaseyVan The effects of drugs were much less than the no-nothings dumbly believe. What had the greatest "influence" was their increasing control in the recording studio, and then stopping the distracting time touring.
@@CaseyVan Those who know nothing about drugs blow all out of proportion the impact of drugs on their music. "Penny Lane" was about Paul's PRE-DRUG childhood. "Strawberry Fields Forever" was about John's PRE-DRUG childhood -- he'd been writing like that since childhood.
11:35 The crowd starts rushing the field and cops begin to tackle them. Paul is aghast. John, George and Ringo don't seem to notice. You can hear Paul say "Oh my God" at 12:11
They should’ve filmed this show in its entirety as they knew it would be their last. In the van after the show George was to say ¨well that’s it, I’m no longer a Beatle ¨
Anyone remember that photo from the stage that John took at the show? Andi I think it was when they got on the plane to leave SF that George made that remark.
@@gringo557 yeah you’re right, it was on the plane back home. Ive seen That photo where john seems to position the camera on top of an amp. The one I’ve never seen and sadly no one in the world has ever seen is the last one they took as a band on the stage right before they walked off the stage. They all asked one of their roadies, i think it may have been Mal, to take one last picture of them on stage commemorating the historic event. They then asked to make 4 copies for each one of them to keep and that were not to be shown to anyone else. From what i read it was them four hugging with their backs against the crowd. I also read that as Paul, George and Ringo were unplugging their instruments, john began to play the first few notes of In My Life, Paul, George and Ringo all looked at him and then he stopped playing and unplugged his guitar. When i read that it made me sad to know that they knew this was it.

VOX built the Super Beatle amps anticipating the arena/stadium tours requiring massive amplification. Jim Marshall did likewise with the Marshall stacks but, fuck, they had a ways to go still at this point.
Se escucha buen en vivo..como estar en ese lugar..con sus verdaderas voces y picardias...igualmente me da por otro lado mucha tristeza y hasta bronca porque fue el ultimo recital y el camino del final....pero asi son las cosas...
16:05 The Alfa and Omega, Too me best version recorded ...... imagine singing it, while knowing ...... never again ........... all four on the brink of insanity....

This is some of George’s best live playing. The bending notes and distorted overdriven guitar sound are half a step away from Sgt Pepper 4 months later.

If the Beatles had already made the decision to be the last time they performed live... Why didn't they record the concert like they did at the Hollywood Bowl?
Also G is the perfect guitar key. The only variance to that might be Paul's performance on the Sullivan show in 65 when he performed solo backed up by Eds Orchestra. Check it out you 'll find it interesting
Hola a todos!!!Queria señalar que esta version de YESTERDAY para mi gusto ,es la mejor version que he escuchado.Tanto la musica que destila virtuosismo,elegancia y el sello beatle(podria agregar mas cosas)y la interpretacion vocal de Paul que emana una sintesis de lo grande que fueron.En este caso interpretacion Vocal y musical se convierten en algo ,magico..
Okay. Clarifuckingcation time. Paul didn’t die before this show. Paul didn’t die after this show. As a matter of fact.... He’s still alive today. Ya know. Paul McCartney. The living original member of the Beatles who stayed in the Beatles for the entire length of their career. Time for me to clear up some dumb ass conspiracy theories. Paul McCartney let someone borrow his car for something and he ended up wrecking it on a harsh corner. He didn’t die either. That same weekend, Paul was riding a shitty road dirt bike and wrecked it by just suffering a couple bruises. Here’s another just in case you didn’t believe the first one I cleared up. On the day of the photo shoot for Abbey Road, they wanted all of the cars for the length of how long the picture can see. Only select people moved there cars and they had stuff to do later that day so they just had to get it done. The 28IF license plate was just a license plate. That’s it. Plus Paul was 27 at the time of the photo shoot. The reason Paul didn’t have shoes on is because he was wearing sandals (don’t believe me? look at outtakes from the shoot) and it was a hot day so he decided just to slip them off for the last photo. The reason behind they are out of step is just because they were. They chose that photo because John thought “I looked good.” PAUL IS ALIVE EVERYBODY!!!!
Why would they not include a single track from from the recently issued "Revolver"? Taxman ( feat. George on solo guitar!) would have been dynamite live!
Paul actually played the solo on taxman, I believe the only song they played live from the revolver era was paperback writer because the songs were a lot more difficult and complex and almost impossible to perform live at the time.
Beatlemania was still around after this; the fans just weren’t chasing them like they used to. They would still wait outside the studio hoping to see them and in 1968( i think) Paul and John had an interview with a talk show host and the audience freaked out a bit. And when Paul got married, lots of girls were crying their eyes out. Beatlemania just calmed down a bit.
@@TwiggyArmstrong what I mean is after this concert The Beatles would have a four month break and go back into the studio and record Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (which is considered one of the greatest albums of all time)
There is some footage, but very little; some of the best is in Ron Howard's Eight Days A Week. These are mostly Jim Marshall's photographs of the event.
There is very little footage of this concert and none of it is close-up. It was well-photographed though. Many of these photographs were taken by Jim Marshall.

A thousand times better than Live Peace in Toronto. No freakin' Yoko and Eric fuckin' Clapton, Klaus & Andy! Only the Fab Four, The Beatles and their spirit, power, energy...great songs, four vocalists. there is nothing better!!
Beatlemania lasted in the USA from January 64 to August 29, 1966 ending with this concert. When you look at how the Beatles looked and where they were musically in the summer of 63 and how they were 3 years later it's pretty unique. Compare it to Taylor Swift who is exactly the same in 2023 as she was in 2013, and nothing wrong with that.
Beatlemania lasted far longer than 1966. I had Beatles album cover textbook covers when I was in high school (my mother worked at a factory in Burbank, CA that slowed admade the album covers and she brought home some of the laminated papers before they were glued to the cardboard). I graduated in 1969 and Beatlrmania was still alive and well in Los Angeles. BeatleFest events for decades after attest that Beatlemania slowed and matured, but has never ceased.
@@gringo557 Except for the last song, it's really a series of stills. Somewhere in some network's vault lies the tape of the entire concert. They could make a mint if released on DVD.

So what? When they ceased touring in 1966, they had the time to finally relax, outside media attention. So they didn't shave as often.

Wow Paul sang Yesterday at a crazy high pitch. Amazing!
lol. Yup. I was already to sing along then went: "nope!" lol
It's because the album version is played in G but the guitar is tuned one step down so it's really an F. So here he is singing around a whole step up.
They had already recorded Tomorrow Never Knows 4 months before this
I can't believe they were able to pull off Paperback Writer live! It had so much going on with all those backup vocals, as well as studio effect and multiple guitar parts, etc - Awesome

Loud, passionate, perfect, sounds like it’s being played in heaven, probably one of their best, that setlist is a killing one
Paul’s voice here sounds already like Peppers sessions! incredible
This is actually a well-played gig. One of the few ones in 1966. Ringo said that tour he, in particular, played badly.
Yeh, the Budokan gig was pretty tatty
That relentless bass on If I Needed Someone, is hypnotic.
In spite of everything that happened to them that year, The Beatles truly seemed happy playing together!
John´s and George´s EPIPHONES.....such beautiful guitars 😇
I have my dad’s ‘65 Epiphone Casino, it is a great guitar; it’s a bit too fragile now to use at gigs
One of the best versions of "I Feel Fine" was recorded at this show.
yes, also
look for ed sullivan 1965
Harald Versteegden And The Shea Stadium Version From 1965
so basically every version, guys?
They knew it was the end. Different banter. EXTRA ENERGY.
Well, the end of this current tour. MAYBE the end of touring. But at this Aug 29, 1966 date, it was not yet a certainty. (But soon would be, though.)
If they knew it why not record it

I wish the recording had gotten John playing the In My Life intro.
They put extra effort on "Yesterday". Even with this audio quality it is stunning.
My Mom took me to this concert in 1966 I was 10 years old....only to find out later that it was their last live concert
Awesome! My friend Peter was there that night too.
ハリウッドボウルとも シアースタジアムとも 他の どの ライブとも違う 歌 演奏4年の重さを 感じる 白熱の ライブ LOVE💓♥️❤️ずーっと ビートルズマニアです サンキュー😉👍️🎶
Beatles number one forever
Imagine John doing she said she said! And "RAIN"
Ir's a pity that that they didn't want to continue singing live. When i was a teneager i had the fantasy to see them singing Sargent Pepper 's hits record
I sometimes think did like any of who went there actually realize they were hearing historically brilliant music as well as getting to witness the huge phenomena of the 60's from their screaming.
The best version of Day Tripper 7:42
This recording sounds like they have their guitars tuned up a half step, which gives it a unique but still amazing sound. Even the harmonies, almost doesn’t sound like the Beatles. When they performed Day Tripper in the Budokan Arena it sounded real heavy. Very distorter and downtuned guitar sound on that recording as well.
同意、しかもジョージはエンディングでメインリフの合間にアドリブも弾いていてとてもカッコイイですね🎸♪
@@antonematos6241 Not at all tuned half step, simply just ever so slightly out of tune. They have very little moment to tune up on stage, along with no such thing as electronic tuners back then.
This marks the end of their mop-top years and marks the beginning of Sgt Pepper’s
Yeah there were different eras, the Prelly days, the Pot smoking days, the LSD days, and the Heroin days. Kind of blunt but the drugs they were doing was a huge influence in the music.
No that’s rubber soul which is released in 1965
@@CaseyVan The effects of drugs were much less than the no-nothings dumbly believe. What had the greatest "influence" was their increasing control in the recording studio, and then stopping the distracting time touring.
Rubber Soul and Revolver already began the Beatles' transformation. And they still toured then.
@@CaseyVan Those who know nothing about drugs blow all out of proportion the impact of drugs on their music.
"Penny Lane" was about Paul's PRE-DRUG childhood. "Strawberry Fields Forever" was about John's PRE-DRUG childhood -- he'd been writing like that since childhood.
11:35 The crowd starts rushing the field and cops begin to tackle them. Paul is aghast. John, George and Ringo don't seem to notice. You can hear Paul say "Oh my God" at 12:11
Idk sounds like he's saying "alright George" for his solo.
It sounds like "O very good"
Úžasné,miluji Beatles ❤
They should’ve filmed this show in its entirety as they knew it would be their last. In the van after the show George was to say ¨well that’s it, I’m no longer a Beatle ¨
Anyone remember that photo from the stage that John took at the show? Andi I think it was when they got on the plane to leave SF that George made that remark.
@@gringo557 yeah you’re right, it was on the plane back home. Ive seen That photo where john seems to position the camera on top of an amp. The one I’ve never seen and sadly no one in the world has ever seen is the last one they took as a band on the stage right before they walked off the stage. They all asked one of their roadies, i think it may have been Mal, to take one last picture of them on stage commemorating the historic event. They then asked to make 4 copies for each one of them to keep and that were not to be shown to anyone else. From what i read it was them four hugging with their backs against the crowd. I also read that as Paul, George and Ringo were unplugging their instruments, john began to play the first few notes of In My Life, Paul, George and Ringo all looked at him and then he stopped playing and unplugged his guitar. When i read that it made me sad to know that they knew this was it.
I smiled while reading this, thanks for posting.@@itslikethesamebutdifferent8020
IMHO they were all replaced in late 1966 by lookalikes and the lucrative franchise continued: KA CHING!
Geniaaaaaaal! Ojalá y exista vídeo d tan espectacular concierto!

VOX built the Super Beatle amps anticipating the arena/stadium tours requiring massive amplification. Jim Marshall did likewise with the Marshall stacks but, fuck, they had a ways to go still at this point.
The amps were not the problem it was underpowered and improperly stacked PA systems
Sgt. Pepper was just six months away
I was there! It was my 6th Beatles concert, and their last.
John said at 21:07 ‘lovely working with you Ringo’. They must have known.
Se escucha buen en vivo..como estar en ese lugar..con sus verdaderas voces y picardias...igualmente me da por otro lado mucha tristeza y hasta bronca porque fue el ultimo recital y el camino del final....pero asi son las cosas...
Un comentario en español saludos mi amigo desde mty México
16:05 The Alfa and Omega, Too me best version recorded ...... imagine singing it, while knowing ...... never again ........... all four on the brink of insanity....
and, since guitar in concert tuning instead of downtuned to D, a version in G instead of F. Puts that extra strain on Macca's high notes.
@@waterloo13 You can that music, that cry dying in the echo of that stadium....
@@waterloo13
I noticed that too! Only McCartney would even attempt it in G!
🤓
They do the feedback intro on I Feel Fine
Ojalá yo hubiera estado en una presentación de ellos.Mas no fue así Hoy agradezco a todos los que. Me dan la oportunidad de verlos en video es grandioso y a todos les agradezco esta maravillosa experiencia.
❤
de los días duros en el cave de liverpool a los grandes escenarios del mundo en cuestión de meses, algo que me asombra.
This is some of George’s best live playing. The bending notes and distorted overdriven guitar sound are half a step away from Sgt Pepper 4 months later.
Thank you.
Aw … Long Tall Sally is cut off at the end. Well, still good to hear the beginning from awesome Paul. He changed it up a bit. I like it very much. ❤✨

If the Beatles had already made the decision to be the last time they performed live... Why didn't they record the concert like they did at the Hollywood Bowl?
McCartney singing, while playing bass on "Paperback Writer". Holy sheet!!
Yesterday in G !!
Every time they played it live in 1966 it was in G. Macca having to reach down deep to hit high notes.
Also G is the perfect guitar key. The only variance to that might be Paul's performance on the Sullivan show in 65 when he performed solo backed up by Eds Orchestra. Check it out you 'll find it interesting
They were preparing for their great brutal change, next year.
Hola a todos!!!Queria señalar que esta version de YESTERDAY para mi gusto ,es la mejor version que he escuchado.Tanto la musica que destila virtuosismo,elegancia y el sello beatle(podria agregar mas cosas)y la interpretacion vocal de Paul que emana una sintesis de lo grande que fueron.En este caso interpretacion Vocal y musical se convierten en algo ,magico..
Me alegra que hayas disfrutado esto.
55 years ago today!
I love you
Thanks for pressing like and allowing me to come back to this
you can tell on Long Tall sally, Paul McCartney wasnt able to hear himself Properly
13:28「I FEEl FINE」
Some fun tonight OOWWWW-
Okay. Clarifuckingcation time. Paul didn’t die before this show. Paul didn’t die after this show. As a matter of fact.... He’s still alive today. Ya know. Paul McCartney. The living original member of the Beatles who stayed in the Beatles for the entire length of their career. Time for me to clear up some dumb ass conspiracy theories. Paul McCartney let someone borrow his car for something and he ended up wrecking it on a harsh corner. He didn’t die either. That same weekend, Paul was riding a shitty road dirt bike and wrecked it by just suffering a couple bruises. Here’s another just in case you didn’t believe the first one I cleared up. On the day of the photo shoot for Abbey Road, they wanted all of the cars for the length of how long the picture can see. Only select people moved there cars and they had stuff to do later that day so they just had to get it done. The 28IF license plate was just a license plate. That’s it. Plus Paul was 27 at the time of the photo shoot. The reason Paul didn’t have shoes on is because he was wearing sandals (don’t believe me? look at outtakes from the shoot) and it was a hot day so he decided just to slip them off for the last photo. The reason behind they are out of step is just because they were. They chose that photo because John thought “I looked good.” PAUL IS ALIVE EVERYBODY!!!!
Ok Thanks He is alive because you say he is I feel much better now
His close family and friends would have said something for sure. You think they’d hang out with Billy Sheers after their Paul died? Crazy
Paul chipped a front tooth in his accident. There's a couple of videos ("Paperback Writer") where you can see his chipped tooth. Poor Paul.
You can tell why they stopped touring...
No wonder why Lennon called McCartney "Mr. Showman".
you'd think for the last show theyd have done they would have gotten better audio equipment for it
Why would they not include a single track from from the recently issued "Revolver"? Taxman ( feat. George on solo guitar!) would have been dynamite live!
Paul actually played the solo on taxman, I believe the only song they played live from the revolver era was paperback writer because the songs were a lot more difficult and complex and almost impossible to perform live at the time.
Reason? They thought nobody listened them. It was hard to hear themselves despite this constant noise of tens of thousands screaming girls
The Beatles had since never toured as a group again. They lost their beloved manager, Brian Epstein a year later and broke up for good in 1970.
Think about it, can you imagine a band so popular that they had to put them in a cage to protect them??!!
When you realise that George wasnt even 24 here
Sonaban mucho mas duros en 1966.
What like nobody filmed this?!
Motion picture film cameras were expensive and quite sizy those days.
It was filmed th-cam.com/video/pdnVPY71gpI/w-d-xo.html
There’s lot of footage of the show shot by the audience on their 8mm film cameras
名演。メンバーはライブへの関心を失っていたにもかかわらず。これが最後だということで気合いが入っていたのだろうか。特にポール。メンバーの中で彼だけはライブを続けたかったそうだ。最後の「ロング・トール・サリー」の叫びには悲しみも含まれているように聞こえる。
i‘m in a good!

a good argument can be made for that :)
The end of Beatlemania...
The end of the real Paul.....
@@cliffnote7058 ...
And the beginning of Sgt Pepper’s
Beatlemania was still around after this; the fans just weren’t chasing them like they used to. They would still wait outside the studio hoping to see them and in 1968( i think) Paul and John had an interview with a talk show host and the audience freaked out a bit. And when Paul got married, lots of girls were crying their eyes out. Beatlemania just calmed down a bit.
@@TwiggyArmstrong what I mean is after this concert The Beatles would have a four month break and go back into the studio and record Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (which is considered one of the greatest albums of all time)
You can see why they stopped touring.
I amazed they did it as long as they did. Your audience loves you so much they scream so loud it drowns you out!
If they knew it would be the very last concert ever, why is nobody tough to record it?
Why are they still playing the old Hamburg songs?
No wonder that they hated touring.
Their last concert...
I wonder what mobile tape unit was used.
Tony Barrow just brought a cassette recorder and held the mic in the air. That's from what I've read a couple times.
A hand-held mic of a cassette player.
I thought, that ill see a video!
There is some footage, but very little; some of the best is in Ron Howard's Eight Days A Week. These are mostly Jim Marshall's photographs of the event.
映像も見たい。
Long tall sally? Paul is crazy and dizzy
What is the reason we can see good up close video of this full concert? William messin up???
There is very little footage of this concert and none of it is close-up. It was well-photographed though. Many of these photographs were taken by Jim Marshall.
Tina Foster's interviews and her website "plasticmacca" will help. (RIP Paul, 1966 - right prior to this concert ... RIP brother Paul).

Technically their second to last live show....the rooftop show was really their last 😊
This was the last Paul Mccartney 1966 RIP
A thousand times better than Live Peace in Toronto. No freakin' Yoko and Eric fuckin' Clapton, Klaus & Andy! Only the Fab Four, The Beatles and their spirit, power, energy...great songs, four vocalists. there is nothing better!!
Chills 1:39
A far from sold out attendance of 27000, yet big crowd outside of stadium!!
Beatlemania lasted in the USA from January 64 to August 29, 1966 ending with this concert. When you look at how the Beatles looked and where they were musically in the summer of 63 and how they were 3 years later it's pretty unique. Compare it to Taylor Swift who is exactly the same in 2023 as she was in 2013, and nothing wrong with that.
Beatlemania lasted far longer than 1966. I had Beatles album cover textbook covers when I was in high school (my mother worked at a factory in Burbank, CA that slowed admade the album covers and she brought home some of the laminated papers before they were glued to the cardboard). I graduated in 1969 and Beatlrmania was still alive and well in Los Angeles. BeatleFest events for decades after attest that Beatlemania slowed and matured, but has never ceased.
George mistakes 1959, instead of 1964 for the song, "I Feel Fine".
He's joking.
Why not the entire video?
That is the entire video; the original audio tape ends before the end of the last song.
@@gringo557 Except for the last song, it's really a series of stills. Somewhere in some network's vault lies the tape of the entire concert. They could make a mint if released on DVD.
So sad 😢😭! the real end of the Beatles to me
Agreed (sigh)
Barbara E. Hunteman TY yeah 😭
Certainly the beginning of the end. Needed Epstein's death and the appearance of Yoko to finish them off.
