Ringo dancing around with the crowd is brilliant. He hasn't changed.
I love how Ringo is just dancing and jacking at the end with everybody in the crowd that's just so cool.. just a different personalities add to their specialness and that definitely helped the creativity in their music you can feel all the yin and yang between Paul and John and what a gift they were to all of us and still continue to be really.. rip George and John

This is so charming! How lucky these kids were to be up close and personal with the Beatles!! WOWZA!
At my age now, 67, I feel very privileged to have experienced the 60's through the eyes of a impressionable young boy. It seemed that everyday something new and exciting was happening. JFK, The Beatles, the "Space Race" all pointing to the future. It was go go go and I loved every minute of it!

I'm astonished that "It won't be Long" seemed to got lost in the shuffle... It's a total gem and every time I hear it my mind goes right back to being 9 years old in those magical early days of Beatlemania. That little re-occurring guitar riff George plays gives it the perfect touch.
18:44 oh look at our super adorable Ringo with his trademark dance moves. How can a human be so cute!!!

Even though The Beatles are lip-syncing and miming to their recordings here, this is one of the only video performances where you can see John playing the guitar solo on You Can't Do That.
The Beatles are the greatest ! They can perform with no pluged guitar and produce live a sound exactly same as on record. ^^

This whole episode was released on a commercially available VHS. Some parts on this video however were replaced with higher quality clips from a Laserdisc compilation. Then everything was cleaned up digitally afterwards
How lucky was that generation? It was before my time. I’ve been a fan since I was 10 but I never had the chance to see them live. That must have been incredibly exciting and fun! I’m pleased that this exists on KZread so I can watch it years later. The music has stood the test of time. Thanks!

The Beatles are a genuine emotion. They are a part of me. Inseparable now really. In the end, when Paul was signing autographs for people there, I wished so badly to just be close to their presence and touch them. But then, I know that I've become one with them.🥰
No Band compares The Beatles. The best FOREVER.
...... and this is how they charmed us all those years ago! On a Friday night about 6-15pm to a 12yr old boy this was amazing. Great memories of the greatest pop band ever!
The difference between Paul and John and how they deal with an interview is huge. Lennon's wit and humor can't be matched.

They had a fresh new sound. An original style. They didn’t sound like anybody else. This was big factor of the appeal and popularity. Plus they were so charming, funny, hip and young. They couldn’t miss becoming the next big thing. Then they became bigger than Elvis. When Lennon said that he wanted to be bigger than Elvis, it seemed 😢😢a far fetched goal because he was a phenomenon. But they achieved it and became the GOAT because of their singing and songwriting. And they were witty and funny in interviews! Entertaining from the beginning. Amazing band

John best friend Pet Shotton said in an interview that John Lennon told his classmates that his future band would be just as popular as Elvis and they laughed at him and teased him and nearly bullied for making such a statement. The funny thing is that John proved them wrong, Not only was the Beatles just as big as Elvis but they are still popular 53 years after they called it quits.

Kudos to the cameraman for PARTIALLY getting John playing lead guitar on YOU CAN’T DO THAT…..although it is mainly on his strumming hand. Towards the end you get a “through the dancers” look at a few seconds of his left hand.
This is wonderful. I so enjoyed this phase of The Beatles-they seem to be really enjoying themselves and there was an innocence to their performances. Thank you!
The Beatles look magnificent. At the peak of their excitement of enjoying it.

yes, easier for the bands to do when they were spending a lot of time touring already. in august 1966 the musicians union banned miming on bbc shows (i think itv/granada banned it earlier in march). this was actually a very controversial decision and was publicly criticised by groups because it was 1) taxing on them with their already busy schedules and 2) becoming increasingly more difficult as pop music was developing and becoming more complex. they quickly revised it so that only the singing had to be live. this continued until the early 80s
Wow! What a gem! Thanks for uploading the whole of it from start to finish!
Oh that John ! After he’s been ‘gone’ for > 40 years , he is still CRACKING US UP !! We all still love you , John Lennon ,,, Peace
This is GREAT!
2:01 I love that smile exchange between our John and Paul 🥹
The Musicans Union were unhappy with so many pop performers miming. Overtime Ready Steady Go was probably the only progamme by 1965 until its end where there were actual live performances. Unfortunately, many of these including Jimi Hendrix on RSG no longer exist. The last early Beatles live TV performance where they were playing their instruments, was on ABC TV's Blackpool Big Night Out in August 1965.
Just simply they had unique characters and they enjoyed what they were good at ..
Some great early songs . Fantastic melodies
Wonderful... thanks! ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
One request: Please don't ever delete these videos. Please... I'd be forever grateful.
There were crowds of fans around them, but they’re not getting mobbed. They still have a little room to breathe.
My favorite part of this video is right at 2:00 - just as they are going to the bridge in "It won't be long" (since you left me....) - There was this glance between John and Paul - John looks over at Paul with this cheeky grin and Paul reacts almost blushingly coy, like a girl getting flirted with....It was just a very short acknowledgement between them - but you could tell how fond they were of each other and how closely they communicated.
Listen to that wonderfully subtle ending of “You Can’t do That”
I remember these times…their music was a near constant on the radio.

Yes, in the first week of April 1964, they held the top five positions in the American Top 40. If I remember, the songs were: (5) Please Please Me (4) I Want To Hold Your Hand (3) She Loves You (2) Twist and Shout (1) Can't But Me Love
And THEN 1-5 on the charts....just turned 70 on Dec 7....watched them from the beginning ti the end....and number one AGAIN😺😺✌️✌️✌️

John Lennon is not accepting things the way they are as "that's how it is". He wonders why are things the way they are, what is this doing to me, what do I think about all this?
