In John's intro to "Where have you been all my life?" (56:48) I don't think he says "freeloader" and "covered". I do believe he was using words that, well, would be considered politically incorrect today. Just John being John. Listen carefully.

Thanks for uploading. This is fascinating.

Just when I think there is no new Beatle-ish things to learn... Thanks

I absolutely love this! First hand accounts of the early Beatles in Germany! Priceless!

Just think , only 15 years early the Nazis would have shot someone British 🇬🇧 in Hamburg , now (1960) there rocking out to your music. Strange times indeed !

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOREI !!!!!!!💖

1:05:20 I'll be leaving the band now.

Wow, this is certainly a treasure! Wonderful to hear first hand accounts of the Hamburg days...remarkable.

FANTASTIC

John: "You lost the war but seem to be having a good time". Hahahahahaaaa, Lennon! During Matchbox (John singing) "I ain't got no knickers but I got a long way to go". John was the driving force behind the Beatles ability to be confident on stage and ultimately with the media.

Great job man Thanks

che energia ! meraviglioso 1962, meravigliosa Hamburg ! meravigliosi ragazzi di Liverpool

Wasn't there also a 2nd Roll Over Beethoven version ?

Thanks for taking the TIME to do this. I bought the 1977 album in 77 when I was 7 from saved up newspaper route money and my Dad ! Thanks Dad.

Oh, nice work !! Thanks. :)

26:03 You missed "a waste of money!" 😂. GREAT post! You did a stellar job that I very much appreciate. 👍

the first rock band of the world . And the greatest rock band of the world . the number one forever. the masters for every rock and punk and heavy style .

Little did these guys know that soon they were going to be the most famous people on earth. I was reading the wiki about this gig and seems the guy who recorded it got permission from John to do so in exchange for some beer.

Thank you for sharing this important information... Big Job 👏👏👏👏

Awesome work pal, thanks for the subtitles!

This Is Gold Jerry! Gold!! Thank you a million times!

Sheila is a great cover

LOL, I've read through all the comments and not ONE person has mentioned Stu "The Bod" Sutcliffe's modelling portfolio at 1:08:45. Part of me wonders why I'm seeing those for the first time and that those shots has never made into any documentary about the Beatle's early days. But then again I'm reminded of the bit from Anthology where Ringo talks about the Two Virgins cover and he goes "I said "Hey, you got the newspaper in the shot" and not "Hey, your dick is hanging out."" 😝

great stuff a band learning their trade of which they then become masters off and the greatest band EVER. FAB

When I finish building my time machine, that's where I'm going. (but probably not for long, because of all the smoke)

Do we know what year this was produced? Maybe '66 ?

Awesome show. Love the chatter from the group, too. Thanks.

Good stuff! However, it's a little misleading to be showing pictures of the older line up, no? This is McCartney, Lennon, Harrison & Starkey - and they are on FIRE!!!!

John was already drunk after half of the show

Спасибо, это было прекрасно!

Punk rock before it was called that...

11:10 Is it Eric Burden on her left?

fantastic to hear. I geuss this was done before ringo starr joied and pete best was the drummer and there was a fifth member who died in hamburg after a severe punch

bless you Stan!

This is simply fabulous!!!

😀👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Great Job!! Highly appreciated! Thank you very much! Greetings from Chile! 🇨🇱

Excelente trabajo! Gracias Stan,

By this time the Beatles had released Love Me Do and were experiencing their first # 1 with Please Please Me. So this was a throwback for them, and must have been a constant party.

This season at the Star Club was a commitment made by Brian Epstein 1 year or so before. With the Beatles single Please Please Me topping the English charts he could have bought out the contract but felt it essential that they honor it to reassure future promotors.

thank you Stan , great footage . My father is Pete Wharton who was with the Jets and Beat Brothers in Hamburg back then . Its his birthday today and he loved watching your film . thanks !!

How didn't they ran out of songs when playing every day a week?

It's amazing how they are playing rock music with a huge punch. They're rocking on this.

Can anyone get their head around the fact that just 13 months after playing to a small club of drunken Germans in Hamburg's red-light district, this group would then be playing to "a record busting" number of 70+ million Americans on live television. 13 months!

Thank you for sharing. What a rare gem! Shows what a great band they were at such a young age.

An enormous amount of work! Thank you. One can quibble here and there, but you nail 99% of this stuff--including a lot I'd never been able to understand (not speaking German definitely hurts in that respect). Really appreciated!

Interesting to hear Mr. Moonlight here. They ended up digging that one back up for Beatles For Sale because they didn't have enough material of their own to fill out the album.

"Ask Me Why" sounds amazing!!! Wow!

IT WAS RINGO

interesting little Peter Gunn riff in "I Saw Her Standing There."
