Being able to play anywhere near in time AND in harmony, in the middle of a screaming arena, without stage monitors is miraculous. These guys were road-worn pros after a solid year of European Beatlemania, as well as a thousand gigs in noisy, crappy clubs in the previous 5 years. Ringo’s steady time also allowed them, if necessary, to just count beats and get to the chorus together. A solid drummer is often overlooked, but SO essential. Remember, he probably couldn’t hear the other guys, so he had to count and just watch for visual cues. These guys were experts at generating amazing excitement without pyro, rotating drums, OTT costumes or stage lighting. Truly the greatest band in the world at the time.

In the video, you will see Mal and Beatles press agent Brian Sommerville rotating Ringo's drum kit every few songs.

I love Paul's awkward song introductions, then the song starts and it's like a punch in the gut. Even with the very crude stage technology, when the Beatles started preforming it's a transforming experience. They were way beyond any other artist and sixty years later, this performance is still valid and inspirational.

They were screened one night, as a midnight show, by the students' film club at the local university, but I thought one had to be a college student and inscribed at uni to get to attend the screenings (you had to be a member of the club). It was only several years later that I grasped that there was no "only current pr former students" rule for the film club. ;)

They were all good, but George stood out there in the guitar world in those days in terms of his compositional skills, sophistication, creativity and variety of styles. Everything from beautiful gut string playing on “and I love her” to unique slide playing on the later albums. On and on. When you sing the song to yourself, on many of the songs you will include the guitar riff as you hum it to yourself because it has become a part of the song itself. Not easy. Not to mention he was a terrific songwriter and singer. The Beatles were a once in a lifetime combination of talents without a doubt.

Epic! Amazing, no tuners, no auto-tune, no monitors, no in-ears, where's the PA? Maybe a sorrounding house PA ...just 3 amps, an unmiked drum kit, no wonder why Ringo's smashing those drums in perfect timing, how could they hear each other, and be that tight?!!! Anyone who's ever played in a band, live, knows what I'm talking about...unbelievable, what a band, and Paul's vocals on Long Tall Sally are insane, after screaming for 1//2 an hour...

I'm 43 yrs old, and to this day I believe this is the greatest band in our history. In color, on a bigger stage, with I believe two more musicians added, to them, and 5 to 6 yrs later they were mind blowing awesome. My dad played in a band for many years, and they played oldies. I was about ten yrs old, and watching him play the drums which is extremely hard, he did a few Beatles solo's. God bless them for what they brought to America. I wasn't born yet, but watching them gives you goosebumps. When someone can do that, they are extremely just great. God bless them, and all their fans.

What I find most admirable about the Beatles is their meteoric rise/development as artists. How their songs from 1962-64 were so essentially bubblegum pop, and by 1966-7 they had matured so amazingly as musicians & artists. The speed of their development is positively staggering 🙏🎭🎶

Today's music industry just can't handle bands and artists that have this much power to progress and grow into new skin year by year. People like Bowie, Joni Mitchell, Prince, Steely Dan or Jimi Hendrix wouldn't have found the MB today amenable to what they wanted to achieve either...

I remember those days! I was a little kid but I was so fascinated by them! I love their music as much today as I did then. I also notice things I didn’t notice then, like there must have been a microphone problem on George’s side of the stage. I will always worship them even though they were just 4 humans from Liverpool.

This is true showmanship! These guys played that show with mostly their own songs! They ramped up the energy after each, and every song! Their musicianship was spectacular for that time period! Their stage energy was off the charts as they were smiling, and having fun! These were the days when gimmicks wouldn't get you very far. Your Band had to be this good in those days because, gimmicks weren't gonna save you. Talent, and very hard work can get you a long way!! How often do you get that much at Concerts these days?

In January 1964 they played for 3 weeks in France at the Olympia in Paris, and just before at the Cyrano cinema in Versailles (2000 seats). I was 14 at the time and living in Versailles that year. I didn't attend their concert, and I regret it very much today.
