Inspired Beatles -- Live Goofs, Gaffes & Mayhem

[@ovalvox7888]

Considering the lack in technology and all of the screams, musicianship wise they were pretty damn tight.

[@inspiredbeatles]

True. see the YT desc for more info.

[@anonymusum]

Don´t forget the numerous shows they had to play round the world. Their schedule was also very tight. So if you play that often and under those circumstances there simply has to go something wrong.

[@frankpetizian1316]

This video makes me realize how even greater they actually were. Through all that craziness, they still sounded great and maintained their sense of humor and levity. Remember at some point it did get to them and they said enough was enough. Then they got even more amazing!

[@inspiredbeatles]

True

[@jonesyjonesy7129]

& they had thru it all!

[@thelonious-dx9vi]

That was my reaction precisely. Sounding good is hard, and old-school sound gear made it near impossible. Time and again I'm astonished to watch their sheer ability slice right through it. In addition to all their other manifest virtues, they were just flat-out professionals. I thought that really came through in the Get Back/Let it Be footage. In the rooftop concert, they are ridiculously good. That's outdoors in the cold with freezing hands; sound reinforcement horrorshow; their first live show in years; new material, etc etc. I mean, it's just madness how good they had to be, to be that good, when it was time to go out there and be The Beatles.

These guys were so tight that they could play it loose on stage. They knew each other well, played live gigs from day 1 and were good enough musicians that they could play and sing even though they probably couldn't hear themselves much of the time. The ease with which they composed themselves on stage was apparent in their smiles and actions.

[@kzinful]

The Ed Sullivan Show and 73 Million viewers and that's when the tsunami wave erupted. It was insanity, all those girls screaming posed an actual security risk, in their zeal they easily could have turned the cars over carrying the lads. I won't retread what has been written so many times before, the screaming was so intense the Beatles barely played. So when you watch this video, the gaffs, the microphone placements, the revolving riser for Ringo, they all point to one conclusion: We simply didn't know what the hell we were doing..( laughing !) This is a wonderful video, thank you for the upload, it brings back many memories.

[@inspiredbeatles]

Thanks. Yeah that’s all true. Nobody can know the intensity who didn’t experience it. I put this together just for fun because it’s kind of interesting to see it in one video.

Hey thanks Troy. I’m gonna be taking a break in a little bit but hope to do more later in the summer. I’m experimenting with doing some ones that aren’t so tightly put together because it takes too long to get them out. So I may do one or two that’s just more improv and see if they come out OK but when I watch them they feel boring to me. So it’s kind of a trade off I guess. Either do ones that are more labor-intensive but not as many, or do ones that are off the cuff and get more out

[@HankFinkle11]

Couple of things; first, they couldn’t hear themselves over the screams. That would be enough to un-nerve anyone. Second, the equipment/PA’s were provided by the local promoters in those days; hence; the bad microphones. Nowadays, lyrics are shown on monitors at the front of stages, drummers play to click tracks, and monitors/PA’s can overcome jet engine noise. If you really want to see how tight the Beatles were when properly rehearsed and in an environment where they could focus, check out the rooftop concert. Aside from Lennon flubbing the lyrics to “Don’t Let Me Down,” they were perfect.

The Beatles Live!

[@smautomat]

Considering the technology at the time (no vocal monitors!), the Beatles were incredibly tight. Often, they literally could not hear themselves at all above the screaming. Ringo has admitted that he had "to follow their three bums wiggling to see where we were in the song". The fact that they were able to give decent performances in in the face of such ridiculous conditions is a testament to just how great a band they were.

Roadies and stage technicians weren’t invented yet. They basically tuned their guitars back stage, plugged them into their Vox AC30 amps and played. No special effects like guitar players have today. No back up guitars if a string broke. Today’s musicians have it easy. Plus the Beatles were on the road the entire year.

They were a GREST live band. Even Malcolm Gladwell uses them as an example in his book "Outliers." It was when they couldn't hear themselves because of the screaming and the technology of their equipment couldn't keep up with the size of their venues did it inspire John to tell his friends, "Don't bother to see us. We're a terrible band." The real early videos of them live in small studios (like BBC broadcasts c.1963) shows how tight they were.

The Beatles 4 ever❤

[@imkluu]

Yes, there was mistakes, but the majority of their performances were very tight. They had performed nearly 1000 times live, 292 times in the Cavern club over a 2 and a half year period when they were first getting started plus antihero year and a half of daily performances in Hamburg that were sometimes lasting 10 or 12 hours. This made them very tight as they had performed most of their early songs and covers so many times they could do them while stoned, tired, drunk, and in almost very case with no stage amps so couldn't even hear themselves when they did. That is hard even without all the screaming that was going on later, and yet they still were able to maintain a high level of performance. They also had to contend with whatever sound and stage equipment was there waiting for them as they only brought their instruments with them, for the most part, and sometimes didn't see what the stage or speaker set up was going to be until minutes before the performance.

[@inspiredbeatles]

I agree but see the KZbin video description for more info

As others have mentioned, as was the standard for the entirety of the Beatles public live performance career, vocal microphones and PA equipment were always provided by the performance venues, and quality varied greatly. Many early performances highlight the struggle contemporary venue sound crews had with the concept of shared, well-mixed harmony vocal passages via multiple microphones and throughout the Beatles' set, and often, with the assumption that either John or Paul was "the singer", the other mic channels would be either mixed well lower for the entirety of the performance, or even pulled completely out until the other "singer"'s number came up on the set list. After a sound check, it was almost unheard of that anyone would be manning a sound board and dynamically managing sound levels, unless someone complained...and maybe not even then.

I think they were a great live band.... most the time. They had some absolutely amazing live performances. But they did MANY live shows and you do have to remember that on these tours they got barely any sleep and they never stopped moving. They got shoved around constantly and John Lennon at one point was having 40 cups of coffee a day so he could stay awake. They were given pills to get them to go to sleep over all the screaming and pills to keep them awake through all the touring. There was one thing I read about I don’t know whether it’s true but it’s quite funny.. Apparently one time Paul took another sleeping pill instead of the one to keep him awake by accident and they had to do a show that day... he was half asleep the whole time and Brian Epstein said it was the worst live performance they ever did.

I saw the Beatles in Portland Oregon (1965). George forgot the line of one of his songs, and tried to fake it by singing "La la la la la la la." Paul, John and George laughed at the goof. He did eventually catch up though. They never missed a beat.

during an exhibition at Montréal we could listen to the tape of the Montréal forum show (1964) recorded directly from the sound console I can guarantee you THEY WERE VERY TIGHT

Oh that’s pretty cool. Is there a tape of the sound board somewhere? Can you post a KZbin link if you have it? The video was just for a laugh Marc. See the KZbin description notes.
