Back in December 1962 I was playing bass with Mike Dean and the Kinsmen and we played with the Beatles at Bedford. When they came on I couldn’t believe what I was listening to.

The one and only “The Beatles.” I was only 14 years of age and l became an instant fan. My little sister was only 2 and she would clap her hands and sing to the tunes of “l wanna hold your hand” and “l love you yeah yeah yeah.” She had a mop head like the Beatles. I nicknamed her “Beatle” against my mother’s wishes. I would raise the volume on my radio and drove my mother crazy. She would say “you’re going to get deaf and your little sister.” I didn’t listen and they went on to become the greatest band in history.

This performance was made in Australia in June 1964 at Festival Hall in Melbourne. As a Beatles fan who has lived in Melbourne all my life, I am thrilled that this has been labelled as the Beatles' best performance ever! It really is a fantastic showcase of the band's ability to entertain and to remain artistic and musically in control at the same time. Years later, my father played keyboard in a band and the audio guy they frequently hired in the early 90s would setup the sound system with the very same microphones used in this concert! I also had to sit university exams in Festival Hall in 2009-10.

I do not speak fluent Thai....yet LOL! So my wife comes in, this kid is just playing some riffs etc. I said to my wife "Ask him if he can play any of The Beatles"? Not remotely thinking this kid knows who they are, he looks at me and says in perfect English " No problem sir" and starts playing " I Feel Fine" I about died....then he launched into "Drive my Car" He said to my wife in Thai " Ask your husband if he wants me to play any of The Rolling Stones"???

Wilson wrote, arranged, managed produce etc. he did it all alone except for a few exceptions. Wilson’s music, Good Vibrations, God only Knows, etc was are more complex and arranged the. Any music the Beatles did. The Beatles Help song came AFTER the Beachboys Help Me Rhonda song. The Beatles Yesterday& Today album came AFTER the Beachboys Today album The Beatles Sgt.

Obviously people remember their later studio stuff more these days as it's more listenable and relatable for a modern audience, but what's often forgotten is how the Beatles cut their teeth as an absolutely killer live band. By this point the core members had been playing together for 5+ years and had thousands of gigs under their belts. Their first two albums were also recorded in the 2-track era, so what you hear is pretty much the best live take. Being that good, that young, with that much charisma and their own songs. Simply unheard of at the time. They blew everyone away.

Years later, my father played keyboard in a band and the audio guy they frequently hired in the early 90s would setup the sound system with the very same microphones used in this concert! I also had to sit university exams in Festival Hall in 2009-10.

I'm 72 and the first album I ever bought was Meet the Beatles... wow, what a wonderful time to be alive!

[@z512345]

Ditto!!

[@MaithriSanitgun]

Same. The album Meet the Beatles was like $2.65 at a GROCERY STORE. Couldn't believe what I was hearing. Later got The Beatles' Second Album and that introduced me to Chuck Berry and Smoky Robinson, I still think George Harrison's Roll Over Beethoven is the best ever recorded. They played those early songs a million times in Germany until they dropped, they literally could have done all of them in their sleep. It was 1964, I was TEN, really didn't know any Elvis songs, faintly knew some Everly Brothers. Other than that my familiarity with music was Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer stuff. Went to see Hard Day's Night, was blown away. Have been a fanatic Beatlemaniac ever since. I look forward to hanging out with John and George in Heaven.

Four basic instruments, three amazing voices, amazing songwriting talents and then magic happens - it really is a miracle and I am thankful I have been alive to experience it! Saw them on Ed Sullivan when I was 9 and saw Sir Paul in May of 2022 - they have, essentially, spanned my life!

Is there anything more uplifting in this dreary, depressing world than listening to the timeless music of the Beatles ?

[@frankhornby6873]

Yeah..."The Beatles " translated means....HAPPY!....

[@tonywilliams7152]

I saw a quote from a journalist commenting on their anthology release once years ago, which struck me; "they were the collective joy of the 20th century; having followed two world wars, a great global depression and a time of profound upheaval and change. They were the heat that melted a cold war. The ushers of a new way of thinking and celebrating life." A great way to describe this phenomenon.

[@jameswebb9738]

Agreed

[@TonyBurke100]

No.

Of course. Listening to Chic or Sister Sledge is way more uplifting.

[@bluecollarbytes7267]

what a group of hits in 24 minutes. I'm sure many were like me, going through the entire sixties looking for the Beatles' next hits and more. After a couple years, I basically considered every Beatle album and song to be a 'hit', and they never disappointed me.

[@6stringwood]

I was lucky enough to see the Beatles live 1966 in Seattle. I was only 10 years old could hardly hear them due to the constant screaming but I am glad I got to witness a band that took the world by storm and still does today.

[@pulkeandmatuke.israelipunc2033]

I saw them too in 66 at the Hammersmith Odeon I was 12 We were seated at the back of the upper tier , couldn’t hear a word through the screams 😅

[@robertharris3588]

I was at the Seattle concert also. Tremendous screaming and yelling of their names, but I remember being able to hear well enough to clearly recognize the songs. They put lots of energy and fun into the performance. Being in the same "room" with them was unreal!

[@drunkbikewrenchen6400]

Girls invariably ruin live rock concerts in my personal experience… lol.

[@drunkbikewrenchen6400]

Too bad the audience didn’t just shut up and listen to the music instead of screaming over it.

[@CaneFu]

I was 8 years old in 1964 when the Beatles appeared live on the Ed Sullivan Show for the first time. I had no idea who they were but my older brother and sister sure knew and our whole family sat around the TV hypnotized by their music. Now I am 66 years old and still listening to their music all these decades later and I can't say that about any other music group. The Beatles were an original and no one will ever be able to duplicate their enormous influence on our culture--they literally changed the world overnight.

[@judijacques3793]

Ditto .. I was 8 years old . Got my first Beatle album … and the rest is history

[@mikenekosama4426]

I was like, 4 years old, and my brother was 8 years old at the time. I don't think we saw the first Ed Sullivan performance. It seems like my mom/grandparents preferred that we watch Disney, and apparently Disney was showing "The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh" at the time. The "scarecrow" really freaked me out! I think it would have been better for me at the time just to watch The Beatles!

[@liverpooloflife8731]

I agree with you. Their music is still fresh sounding as ever...

[@g1rag]

Same age here, well said.

[@dianetillio9088]

The person who captured this did a great job cutting through all that screaming. That they could harmonize through all of this is a testament to how good these guys were.

[@roybennett6330]

Where was this taken,and year?

[@curtiswilliams578]

@@roybennett6330 Wednesday 17 June 1964, at the Festival Hall in Melbourne, Australia. They did a 3-night stand there, playing two shows each evening. This was filmed by Australia's Channel 9 at the final show on the third night, for broadcast on the channel as part of a TV special featuring The Beatles. Brian Epstein initially agreed to let the channel broadcast just 12 minutes of the performance, but after reviewing all of the footage following the show, he relented and agreed to allow 20 minutes of the concert to be broadcast. In the end, 22 minutes of The Beatles' performance was aired. The only song from their set cut from the original broadcast was 'This Boy'. As the video notes, despite the full show being recorded, some of the footage has since been lost.

[@georgeshihanian4946]

As mentioned, the sound quality is a testament to not only the band’s talent, but the audio techs too. So many times we’ve seen their early concerts where the screams overtake the signing. (Shea Stadium) And those tight camera shots on their faces was ahead of its time too. Most other films I’ve seen just had a couple cameras front and center showing either the entire band or a full length body shot. Great camera work, back then the cameras must have been large and difficult to handle.

[@hungfao]

@@georgeshihanian4946 Yes. They were huge. They also had a tendency to get in the way of people's ability to see the show. They didn't have big screens or other monitors aside as an alternate viewing source. So, you just lived with it if it happened to you.

[@harveycan5820]

@@curtiswilliams578 Thanks! Was this the show for Shell Oil? My guess is their stage sound and mix was also very good, allowing them to hear themselves and thus jam together. It is a very tight set with really aggressive guitar and tight harmonies other than first couple in opener. They were probably also glad to have Ringo back after he had missed a couple weeks due to the flu, I think. He had been replaced for several dates by a session drummer, whose name of course escapes me! I think he played with them in Denmark , Hong Kong, and the first few shows in Australia. Excellent drummer, too! Jimmy....

[@monicacrow-tb3ri]

I saw them in HOUSTON IN 1964. IT WAS GENERAL ADMISSION And 100% HUMIDITY. Mom stayed with me and my sister. 8am to 8pm outside in the heat. She brought lots of water and snacks.

Unless you experienced the arrival of The Beatles you can barely imagine their impact. They not only changed music, they changed the world. They made rock'n'roll not just a fad but the music of a revolutionary view of reality.

I was just a kid but I remember after Ringo came on the scene you never saw ANYBODY hold sticks sideways except maybe Buddy Rich.

I think it's a bit of a hyperbole to claim that the Beatles changed the world. The world is unchanged: people are still killing, stealing, cheating and polluting.

I’m a sixty four year old scouser and can remember sitting on my auntie’s wall waiting for the Beatles to go past back in the late sixties, eventually they came by in their black limo doing about 35 mph, I just got a glimpse of some faces wearing dark shades (don’t really remember who’s they were) but it was really exciting I was only about nine or ten years old 🤔

Hi from Liverpool. The lads did us proud. Been working where it all began in the Casbah here in Liverpool, the ceiling that John & Paul painted " black with silver stars" is still like new & John has scratched his name above the tiny stage saying ( John, I'm back.) That was from Hamburg. When I am down there on my own & nobody else in the building, you can actually still feel the atmosphere of the lads, close your eyes & you are back to 59/60.
