The Beatles ~ Royal Variety Performance (1963)

- Опубликовано: 11 авг 2022
- By the time of the ''royal show' at the Prince of Wales Theatre (near London's Leicester Square) on 4th November 1963, the Fab Four from Liverpool were already big stars. Their first single Love Me Do had made it to Number 17 in the British charts in September of the previous year. In January '63, their second single, Please Please Me, topped the NME's Independent charts and in April, From Me To You topped the UK's official charts; followed by She Loves You in August. So by November, Beatlemania had swept the country like a ferocious gust of wind.
It was a shrewd move on the part of Executive Producer, Bernard Delfont, to book the band on to the Royal Variety Performance when he did. The timing was perfect. They were still the cheeky mop-top 'boy's next door' from Liverpool who only a year previously were largely unknown to the British public. Their wit and charm in 'courting' the press in the weeks leading up to the show, contrasted spectacularly with being booked to perform on the most prestigious stage of them all; with all the pomp and circumstance of 'London ceremony.' One journalist even asked if they would 'tone down their broad scouse accents for the show' to which McCartney replied 'we don't all speak like the BBC you know!'
The timing was pretty good for The Beatles too! ITV had been chosen to broadcast the show and recorded their most viewed show of all time when it was broadcast a week later, on 10th November 1963 to 21.2 Million people! The group achieved their fourth British Number One Single of 1963 with I Wanna Hold Your Hand, days after broadcast.
Despite technical problems in rehearsals, it was decidedly brilliant on the night, with all of the audience, including the Queen Mother, enjoying their performance immensely. One news commentator said, "Never in all my years of observing Royal Variety audiences, have I known this usually starch, 'on their best behaviour' audience, unbend so quickly and completely."

To my parents’ horror, I remember insisting on watching this on our television. I believe my parents left the room! 😄 My mother said they wouldn’t last long . . . I still have my original Mono LPs of The Beatles original albums from that era. And still play them. The best band ever.
Interesting! In 1955 my mother heard me listening on the radio to Elvis Presley sing and said "He can't sing at all…he will never come to much." She did it tough and apologised to me a couple of years later…."You were right, dear"! Now I have great grandchildren as 'Swifties'!
It's so awesome to hear them playing without any screaming.
Posh audience. Only the well heeled could afford the tickets.
For those of us who lived through the Kennedy, situation. We really needed the Beatles.
AMEN TO THAT MY FRIEND
you needed to know the truth about who killed Kennedy. That's totally different
The greatest rock n roll group ever formed. So fortunate with my generation of the 1960s.
Ringo's side-swishing on the hi-hat was unique.
Man, Ringo is just rock solid.
Right?
❤
They were so good live. Its the long evenings in Hamburg
Hamburg was definitely their incubation period especially after replacing Pete Best.
You can see, that the Beatles had more than 500 live appearances before they even made their first record. The act on stage like one person and one instrument.
"They act on stage like one person and one instrument". You've nailed it. That sums it up
4 shows a day in Hamburg for like two years. 830, 10, 1130, and 1am. Same set over and over.
@@rxw5520plus more than 200 performances in the Cavern, some of them twice a day, not to mention a number of other venues
Pretty tight, as George said..
The Beatles - a phenomenon that we will never see again!
You had to be there. I'm lucky I was.
Who knows what the future holds
Paul's singing is peerless and his enthusiasm infectious. They were all incredible, though, of course.
I always Loved Paul.
Paul always cheered me up.
Never forgot learning Till There Was You and at age of 12 I had a Book Of 500 chords. I had an amazing teacher who showed me what a diminished chord was. In the Key of F major. The verse begins F, F#dim7, Gm, Bbm etc. This was a break from the 3 or 4 chord songs that were and still are being played today. I was fascinated. Played in bands all my life including a Beatles cover band (George) Still playing in a London band at age of 74. The Beatles changed the course of popular music forever. I cry a little at the song and play along with the little 8 bar solo.
I'm going to practice this tomorrow on my guitar.
John Lennon .. such a great RnR voice
That day my friends and I took the day off from school, and were outside the theatre when The Beatles arrived. They came in a coach (a bus) and rushed inside. At 6 o’clock my friends and I were seen on the news chasing after the coach. 😂
And later that night my family and I watched them on the Royal Variety Preformance. They were amazing! 🎵🎵🎵🎵
Too much talent for one band!
Correct! Still never bettered.
And the dissenters claim that the Beatles were just an average live band.
The fools.....
What a cute little band. I hope they get a record deal.
😅
Lol.😅😂😊
😂
Think they'll do well
@@keithfenwick9992 lol very funny 😁
Probably the strongest live version of She Loves You. They can actually hear themselves sing and play!
Far superior to the Ed Sullivan show, where the mics were working off and on etc.
Possibly one of their best ever live recording sessions for TV
The Australian Melbourne version is great too.
Posh audience, that's why. No riff raff.
No endless screaming kids.... can actually hear the music!!
Paul's singing while playing melodic bass lines is remarkable, especially under that pressure!
I was ten years old at the time, a big occasion if The Beatles were on the telly. Even your mum and dad would watch them. In my 70’s now, seems like last week.✌🏻
AMEN TO THAT I AM 73
My parents allowed us to stay up to watch the Beatles...❤❤❤
As did every parent at the time.✌🏻
Mine too
Yes, there are the category of the great rock bands of all times, those ones that each one of us loves most, but above them, reigning absolute, are The Beatles, in his own category: the greatest (of the greatest)!
Most excellent example of live TV performance with clean sound. See also performance on Swedish TV Drop In program. Also Ed Sullivan Miami show and, finally, the late 1964 appearance on American show (sorry forget name of show) where they sing Im a Loser and Kansas City. The 1964 Morecambe and Wise show appearance also very good. These are my favorites!
Sorry, Morecambe and Wise late '63.
The show you are trying to remember was "Shindig" 🙂
Their best live performance I've seen is the 1964 NME Awards show. It's on YT. Five sensational numbers, all rock, Ringo a madman. It becomes hilarious when Lennon forgets where he is in "You Can't Do That," thinks it's the break, and is brought back to where he should be by the others.
"Miama Beach" Ed Sullivan's pronunciation.
I love John's boyish cheekiness!!!!
They sang She Loves You perfect!!
The Beatles were the band that forced the industry to manufacture better and more powerful electronics, and amplification.
The Beatles Enough Said. No monitors or computers. Got that Detroit Grit.
George was absolutely perfection on the guitar. Their secret weapon without a doubt.
Absolutely!
@@lindylufromoz5111 also Ringo , a human metronome.
I’m amazed at his dynamics. He gets soft at the right times and louder at the right times.
It’s amazing that they’re such seasoned performers at such a young age.
His playing on " 'Til There Was You" is for the ages.
@@bobtaylor170 absolutely no doubt! Similar to “And I Love Her”!
I am so thankful that my mum and dad let this mischievous little 5 year old stay up to watch our brilliant British tv programmes each and every night.
Happy days. ❤ x
I'm so glad you could! I lived in the GDR then and only could listen to the FabFour late at night only when the radio shortwaves of RTL came to us.🙋♂️
I was allowed to watch this on the TV I was 5 at the time
Love George's guitar playing
@@jurgen6321Well at least now there’s a united Germany.👍
@@jurgen6321 а я жил в СССР, у нас битлов никогда не показывали, из-за этого мы, последние дураки, разрушили лучшую страну в истории человечества
THE BEATLES 💓😍💓💓♥️❤️ Forever In My Hart🌹🌹🌹🌹
Fabulous live performance! Vocals & overall musicianship is simply outstanding.
The vocals, songwriting, and musicianship are all Fantastic!
The Beatles are making themselves known in the music 🎶 🎵 world,and the people are going wild cause they brought something different that people weren't used to hearing 🎉🎉
Beautiful download! No screaming to overpower the guys. Thanks for the great posting!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Viva Inglaterra por habernos dejado a esta Super banda.

Мне до сих пор кажется что они вместе вчетвером,когда я просматриваю клипы,и. Наступает такое успокоение души СПАСИБО БИТЛАМ!!!
Mix was so good! They probably could hear each other better than usual.
Great Times & Great Music. ❤❤❤
Love this performance, wonderful 💚💖💜🎸🎧🌎Especially Twist and Shout😎💚💖
Thank you very much Long TallySally63 . The 22nd century will come and the Beatles will continue to delight with their harmony and music, as they did in the 20th century.
Смотреть, и слушать моих кумиров никогда не надоест,потому что это легенда,революционеры в музыке
they will live forever.
The greatness of the boys from Liverpool..still unsurpassed.
They were truly amazing upsidedown!
They sound fantastic
My all time favorite album and the one that cemented me to The Beatles forever is “Second Album”. An almost forgotten gem.
Desde que naci y hasta que expire,amare la musica de los Beatles y el buen Rock y Rock and Roll...forever🍁🌲☘️🍀🌾🌿🌿🌹🪴💐🌹🥀🌷🌷🎸🎻🥁🎸🎧🎤🇬🇧🇨🇴🇪🇦🇺🇸
Esa es la verdad.
Incredible performance ❤
Johns voice on Twist and Shout,, Awesome
Jamescpotter great call- pure unadulterated Beatle’s Brilliance!
Paul and John at the peak of collaboration songwriting and singing together!
Ребята! СПАСИБО ЗА ТО, ЧТО ВЫ БЫЛИ И ЕСТЬ!!! ❤
Great musician great singers mic Jager once told the Beatles you're four singers the stones they only have one mi nobody like them I love them ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊
Basically, 12 minutes of perfection
I love them so irremplazable
Ran into George in the hall, he did something and turned back, “Don’t mess that up.”
Obviously thoroughly enjoying the experience. And even the biggest band on the planet showed deference to Her Majesty.
What I would write if I had but a grain of the Beatles genius:
Followed you very secretly deep in the night
Till you got home and I lost you out of my sight
Creaked the door, twenty steps - and the light in the frame
All I have is to stand here and whisper your name
So I wish you the very good night
Till the dawn breaks and makes things all right
Wrong are they who consider that love is but pain
As this evening I hope I will see you again
Birds are sad when the smile disappears off your face
Distant look of your eyes is the top of the grace
I would bring you the sky and the stars and the moon
If you told me that you would be mine pretty soon
So I wish you the very good night
Till the dawn breaks and makes things all right
Wrong are they who consider that love is but pain
As this evening I hope I will see you again
I'm so happy I discovered & subscribed to your channel less than 30 minutes ago. I've been mad about The Beatles for 56 years & will be til the day I die. George is my boy.
I love & thank you Long Tall Sally. You've made my day.

I think we share the same love for the Beatles, I'll be 96 and can't get on the toilet without help, but I can tell you exactly how to drum 'Every Little Thing', haha! Thanks for being a fan!
@@LongTallSally1963 - 96? I'm impressed & happy that I've got another 3 decades or more of Beatles love still to come. I want to be *you* when I grow up. Thank YOU 'Sally' for looking after the fans. I "sort've" met them at Brisbane airport in 1964. I got up close to them because my father was in the media crew & making sure barriers were in the right place. I was 7 & dad perched me on his shoulders so that he could show them to me a little better. I thought it was odd that they seemed to be wearing television newsreader-type makeup when under stage lighting. It must have been for a media/press session. I didn't realised that until I became an adult.
As they passed by us, up really close, they all smiled at the bewildered little girl held high above the crowd in her summer cotton shortie pyjamas in what seemed the middle of the night, in hot, tropical weatheer, but one Beatle was very genuine & caring as he sent a loving smile my way. I didn't know who he was or how to react so I shyly looked at the floor.
That is when my lifelong love of George Harrison began, and will forever remain.
They were all kind, but George was the kindest of all.
Having a father who worked in television industry production got us to meet & become casually friendly with some special musicians, actors, singers et al.
The Bee Gees first spring to mind. Dad would take us on some of his visits to their parents house, just north of Brisbane. My little sister & I would play rough & tumble games with the "stupid twins" as we would later refer to Maurice & Robin. Barry was never there, off somewhere doing grown-up boy stuff.
I had no idea who they were & would become. Dad arranged for The Bee Gees' first Australian television guest performance in Brisbane as he knew Mr & Mrs Gibb quite well & was already impressed by their 3 boys' talent.
As far as The Beatles were concerned I only vaguely recalled their faces as those adorning my two teenage sisters' dressing table mirrors & I certainly didn't know why all the teenage girls were screaming at The Bee Gees, at first glimpse of them, from the top of the stairs leading down to the make-up room, around the time their hit "Spicks and Specks" topped the Australian Top-40 charts. I was 9 at the time.
They are memories I still cherish.

Oh, I'm not 96, I'm 17, and my name is Nate :p
I meant when I'm 96, I'll still be a fan.
Lovely story! I get to tell my kids I was alive when The Beatles were number one on the billboard, Circa 'Now and Then'
That's something I cherish, running outta class to listen to the song the second it came out
@@LongTallSally1963 -- OH. Well that makes a lot more sense.
still, it makes me feel happy that I will actually be a fan until I die...which will be in in...another 110 years!

So talented, musically and creatively.
Remarkable. As a 70 year old professional musician looking back at this, and remembering being transfixed as a 9 year old; they really were that good. Whatever anyone says.
5 tours and 1100 performing hours just in Hamburg gets you to this level of flawless live performance!
Молодость-ты прекрасна
Brilliant,
McCartney, solid bass and vocals. Incredible at that age.
No screaming for once lol. They sound great.
Awesome from the best band on the planet and thanks for the upload
Thanks!!!
The Band that changed music.
History
Golden years
She loves you is genius stuff all around.
Cada día cantan mejor ❤️🇵🇪
Saw the 4 in Wellington nz in the old Opera house must have been a bit like the cavern a time gone never to be experienced again patz 😂
So tight…
So this is the Beetles? They sound splendid and look so clean and smart. Bravo. Lets hope we hear more from them in the future, what?
Heard they'll be going tour soon, wish them well
❤❤❤
❤v.p😊
Perfect enuciation
That! Is Beatle cuts!
As a 10 year old I did not appreciate them.But as I went to secondary school and a teenager I realised what a fantastic group they where.
Maybe the reason Paul mentioned Sophie Tucker as. singing Till there was you was because Sophie performed at the Royal Variety performance 1 year before 1962 The original singer of Music man was Meredith Willson.🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕❓❓🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕
Great, my time
このノリ、カッコいいの一言。武道館とは月とスッポンだね。
Love the way they are dressed.
Wow
No doubt, the best band
Es.el.grupo.musical.mas.grande.que.a.tenido.este.mundo.
John seen a UFO and that tells me the universe fell in love with the sound of the Beatles coming from earth
❤
Les scarabées, les meilleurs qui chantaient à 3 voix !!
Only 2 songwriters are of their ilk today - THAT is what it’s about
Twist and shout has to be the best cover version ever
John ❤
De bons musiciens, de belles voix et vous avez la recette du succès, j 'oubliai le talent bien sûr !
Con esas canciones me acuerdo de mi tío gerardo allá por 1978, es decir, 15 años después de 1963 y 8 años después de que se desintegró esta magnifica agrupación jamás igualada
Love to have seen the audience. This being the famous' jewelry' gig.Was HMQ politely clapping along.?
It was actually only the Queen Mother, along with Princess Margaret (the Queen's sister) and her husband, Lord Snowden at that performance. I did hear that when they got back after the show, the Queen asked what the Beatles had been like, and the QM replied that they were 'most intriguing'!
No doubt the Queen watched it on the telly later, and rattled her jewellery as requested!
😀
Interesting how the tempo of 'Twist and Shout' slows down....lends a different feel to that at the beginning.
😊🎉😊🎉😊🎉😊
Creo que es la única actuación de los beatles de las muchísimas. que hicieron que no se oye ni un solo grito de histerismo los beatles se podrían escuchar y lo agradecieron ..sonaron de maravilla
The Beatles at there best musically and friendship. Dam shame they couldn't see that was most important in there lives until it got disrupted when John was murdered. Great loss for them and all the fans who saw what they represented. LOVE
I was I'll in bed but just had to get up to watch them.
The look in Johns eyes😉 Rattle your jewellery lol
Жемчужина..❤❤❤
Guitar by GEORGE SO GREAT
I know, sigh... I always hold my breath for that solo in Till There Was You, and he aways nails it! Go George!
😊
