It's no wonder that the Beatles gave up touring 'live'.

The Beatles performances suffered from the limitation in amplification and primitive PA systems. The Voxes and whatever PA systems they would use just could not overcome the crowd and lit a fire in PA advancement. It wouldn't be until after the Beatles broke up did the PA systems and amplification reach a level and sophistication to overcome large venues and loud and rowdy crowds. Incredible to see this footage and it aligns with most first hand Beatle accounts I've heard. I've met several individuals that were lucky enough to attend a Beatles show in the mid 60s, every one of them described pure pandemonium and not being able to clearly hear the band... Insane the reaction they got!

The boys and the girls on this film should be their 70s or 80s now. Long, long time has passed and The Beatles never fade away.

ANAZING. IN AUGUST OF 1960 , HOUSE CALL INDRA THE BEATLES WITH PETE BEST PLAYING FOR TWO PEOPLE.

Can you imagine if they had a merchandise booth back then?!!!! The fans took it upon themselves to make their own. Another trend the Beatles inspired most likely. Just a few years before this you could have seen them in the seedy part of Hamburg where the strip clubs were for pretty cheap. With Pete Best and Stuart Sutcliffe possibly ..and not Ringo. With all the success the Beatles had with live concerts they got ripped off big time in publishing where all the money was. They signed a poor deal with Northern Songs I think it was and didn't have control over their own publishing. I think Michael Jackson at one point owned it. I think Paul and Yoko might have gotten it back at some point. To be or not to be ....famous. I wonder in the end if some of these famous musicians might have traded it all back just to be a regular person and maybe just perform down at the pub on the weekends? Who knows. Its fun to look back now at these times. Funny this is from a police training video!!!!!

I wonder if when they walked out on that stage if they thought how far we have come from Indra club

Mas também observa que entre alguns desses jovens (especialmente os rapazes) as sementes da contracultura já estão presentes, os caras pirando com a apresentação, desvestindo-se daquele comportamento vetusto.. Um ano depois, rolaria o 'verão do amor' em Frisco e os Beatles lançariam Sgt. Pepper's, o grande disco da era. Em certa medida, os Beatles foram um dos melhores remédios para a Europa nos anos 60, ainda se reconstruindo e muito ressentida.

It is truly unbelievable that the band could play at all in such a din. The PA systems back in those days were terribly inadequate and to think they probably had the best available. I don’t think they even had any foldback speakers. No wonder they gave up touring, no one could hear them and for the 4 lads it was all about the music, in effect they could have been playing ‘white Christmas’ no one could probably tell the difference anyway

What happens like when that man is carrying the girl away at 5:14? She looks totally limp and unconscious. I don't think in about 1964 nicely dressed, energetic, loud, but healthy normal kids, were not taking hard drugs, right? I thought if someone fainted the maximum time was usually 2 minutes, or am I totally wrong? I know it's impossible to know but wonder about what would actually happen for one in top health and young to be unconscious for that long. Also, like I did back then, I wondered how people could be that excited, and I was their age. You could not even hear the music it was so loud. When I heard the Beatles on Ed Sullivan Show I was shocked right away with all the screaming and wondered how such a phenomenon could happen.
