The Beatles - 1964 US Tour Reconstruction - Full Concert
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- Finally here it is, after a long time of waiting, painstakingly re-editing and minor tweaking so all the songs would have enough footage to be covered, I can release the full thing.
Footage from many sources and locations has been used to reconstruct this concert, although not all of the footage is from the summer 1964 US tour. I had to use bits footage from earlier concerts in the year so fill some gaps, such as Australia, Stockholm and the little bits available from their 1964 UK tour. There's some footage where I simply could not get higher quality sources, so some of the footage is as good as it's gonna look.
The audio used is from the Philadelphia Convention Center on September 2nd. It was slightly equalized and modified to give it a bit of a fuller sound, as the original bootleg is quite thin and doesn't have much low end. I would've used the Hollywood Bowl recording, but most of it is copyrighted and would ge the video blocked worldwide, so this concert is the next best thing I had to work with.
The standard setlist for this tour was:
00:07 Twist And Shout
01:26 You Can't Do That
04:38 All My Loving
06:57 She Loves You
09:29 Things We Said Today
11:39 Roll Over Beethoven
14:46 Can't Buy Me Love
17:23 If I Fell
19:31 I Want To Hold Your Hand
22:28 Boys
24:54 A Hard Day's Night
27:45 Long Tall Sally
This wasn't done with any monetary incentive in mind, I did this in my free time for entertainment reasons and pure love for The Beatles.
Here is a download link for the video without RUclips's compression:

Feel free to ask me any question that you may have.
EDIT August 19th, 2024: I've released a new version of this video, upgrading it with higher quality sources and some surfaced footage that wasn't available at the time, as well as using footage ONLY from the US Tour concerts with the exception of one song!
Here it is: ruclips.net/video/bUdqcUi59gU/видео.html
EDIT: If you see ads in this video, I did not put them in! Someone else greedier than me is profiting off of this video.
RUclips destroyed the quality of this video lol, and some of these videos already looked pretty bad before compression.
Anyways, I posted it in the description as well but here's the download link for the whole concert so you can save it:

This is fabulous - thanks so much for this, particularly the download! .
Thank you, DR. Robert..Your many hours of tedious work are very much appreciated....Keep up the great work...!

Got it. Downloaded it. Saved it. thanks for posting and sharing. This Beatle-Maniac is forever grateful.
Oh I thought the uploader , in this case being you , would insert the ads .Just shows u how much I know.
Thanks for this. The quality is good and your efforts are appreciated.
And they sounded this good without any sort of monitor speakers!
Crazy talented group!
or mixing boards,crappy recording equipment, sound engineers etc, piss poor p.a.'s
Remember my younghood everyday loocking Monkees movie séries.
Yes talented someone
Zzz
Yeah,I don’t think they even knew what monitors were in 1964.
I was 3 yrs old in 64’
Hard for today's generation to understand how revolutionary the Beatles were in the beginning. They all played instruments, they all sang, they harmonized and they wrote their own songs.
Hard for this generation to even begin to imagine the influence of The Beatles on our entire lives and culture at the time. We lived and breathed for the music. It was absolutely remarkable and will never be seen again, imo. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Not to mention that their voices were real, not phony autotuned voices.
@@roseyc.5846 Amen to what you've written!! 💕
True..they wrote their own songs ..very talented groups indeed.
They have no clue!🙏
It was supernatural. The talent, the energy, the chemistry. It shook the world.
👍
wanted to point this out. while paul is just playing a major scale on the bass which seems easy, his ability to sing with great tone, move around, have energy, and land each of those notes with ease is just amazing. he is such a great bass player
Watching him during Wings ‘76 tour was an epiphany-utterly brilliant singing, bass playing, and command of the stage from beginning to end.
George has a marvelous voice
Show you right about Paul's guitar playing I love the way Paul moves his guitar up and down
Such grey harmony on If I fell in love with you
I dread the day when Paul passes away...
Such a LEGEND!!!
Lennons rhythm guitar on All My Loving is simply brilliant....
The BEATLES, world's best!!!!
Agreed.They have a great sense of “Rate” Ringo kept them on a tight leash by not Dragging or Rushing….& that’s difficult with that much excess crowd noise.
Perfeitamente ❤❤❤
Yes ! I always thought it was George..BUT it's John strumming a triplet on EACH beat ! Alla: One two three four, one Two, "Close your" [lll lll lll lll][ kiss you ][. et al...!!!
Beatles are without any doubts.. the best ever! For more than one reason: they were very talented musicians, played in places without feed back speakers, played in tune and on time, the most #1 hit songs and good looking hahaha. Beatles music will never die, will always love!
I was lucky to have lived during the Beatles era. My Favorite band of all time. Too bad today's young musicians, rock roll bands, and if you can call today's music come close to the Beatles kind of music.
Energy incarnate!
@@GwenEllis-f9m A fancy way to say raw energy. Why don't we rock and roll all night? I'll play the guitar and you sing, even though I never heard your voice. It's all right!
It’s amazing to think that Paul is still playing concerts 55 years later. Same with the Stones. Incredible actually!
Sim...sem noção...sem energia e voz...
@@kikomacedo8529he’s an old man now, he does what he can to see his fans thrive
And Ringo as well.
Ну The Rolling stones просто долгожители!
@@Дмитрий-ч3н9рLol-- Especially Keith Richards!!! He has a really long liver!!!!!!
Absolutely nothing in todays music world compares to this incredible talent , nothing !

It's really sad how shit the music is today. Even the world's best taylor swift can't hang w these guys. She might still be singing in bars if we were in the 60s

@@seltaeb9691I suggest to smoke a bowl
I love this! I've.been infected with Beatleitis for 58 years. Even when I was poor and had absolutely nothing, I always had their music in my head.
....I’ve had Beatlemania since 1962.....and I don’t want a cure!....✌🏻
You have never been poor. You had the Beatles. Baby, you're a rich man !❤
They harmonize so well together. Their voices compliment each other perfectly.
It’s a fluke of history that three unrelated guys blended their voices so well. The Everly Brothers and The Beach Boys harmonized well too but they were brothers in those groups.
The Beatles were a phenomenon.
As one who has played live in bands for 40 plus years. I watch that early footage and it blows my mind. They’re Usually not using voice monitors in front of thousands of screaming fans. No guitar stands. Mic stands flipping all over the place. Mic’s moving around. No guitar pedals, overdrive pedals, no boosts. The Beatles could pull it off because they were a great ‘live’ band. Every musician knows, no matter what you play, when you play a lot live, you get hot and sharp as a band. There is no substitute for getting up in front of a crowd playing live night after night. It is the definition of ‘living in the moment ‘.
I've also been playing in bands but only for a fraction of the time you have, and I absolutely agree. Playing live in general just helps you improve.
This brings back great memories. I saw the Beatles on this tour in Dallas. Row 19. I still have no idea how my Dad came up with those tickets, $5.00 each! I still have the stubs and to top it off the Dallas Morning News front page the next day had a picture taken from behind the Beatles into the crowd. I always tell people how I had my picture taken with the Beatles! This was an experience I will never forget. This video makes you realize how much they could pack into a 30 minute concert! Chers, Joe Mac
That's so cool!! Thanks for sharing your story Joe
Lucky you! Kudos to your Dad. 😆
Words cannot describe how perfect All My Loving is. John's machine gun rhythm, George's input lead, Paul's melodic walk, Ringo's click track drumming. Harmonies and lead vocal from hell. The Beatles were coming, regardless of who were in their way.
George's harmonies come through very loud and clear. He was only 21 years old here.
Paul was 21 on Ed Sullivan, Washington Colosseum, etc
There is a version where George sings lead on TAS.. Awesome!
Good ear, Tara. I noticed that too. Usually his voice is washed into the background of the audio mix.
@@michaelscott9995 TAS?
@@Manuel-gv6qt Twist and Shout
This was not easy to match all the various footage. Great job!
I can also see how energetic Ringo was on drums. He just played in the pocket and kept the groove going. Always serving the song. He was steady and kept the beat perfectly.
Crap drummer
I was thinking the exact same thing
If it had been Ginger Baker ("Cream") he'd have destroyed their aim, pushing them to get funky when that was not what they were ever about.
I can't say anything, that hasn't already been said.
No other generation will every understand these guys.
No other time will occur when these guys made the connection.
..I hope I'm wrong, about this, because as a kid growing up and listening to these guys, was special, i didn't understand why, but i could feel that something special was happening.
I love George, Paul, John and Ringo. Forever
❤❤❤❤Ich Danke Euch allen für die Musik 🎶....Weltweit ❤❤❤❤❤
❤😂❤❤❤❤Danke fürs Senden 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
Super job. I saw them in Italy in the summer of 1965. This really brings it back. They were more magnetic than anyone I have ever seen. Really had to be experienced to be believed.
I used to put my ear up close to the Hi-fi Audio Record-Player and listen deeply and Hear so closely.
Like always, the superb backing vocal harmonies of George, amaze me everytime i heard it, with John and Paul, still are a standard to achieve, like Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys, and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, The Supremes, The Hollies and so many more, but The Beatles are number ONE because they did it inside a roaring storm.. long live THE BEATLES... kudos to all of you Beatleamaniacs around the cyberspace, from Guadalajara, México, 1-octubre-2022 ✌😎... ps.. and thnkz to you Dr. Robert for pick me up with this pill 👏👏👏👏
I'm back at home listening to my favorite band the Beatles
@@gussiegreen4036 so welcome home ✌😎
Whoa. The energy here, the "put-out" (output) is so much - no wonder 30 mins. was enough (sic.) Phenominal. No boo-boos, Just professional, each talent showcased. Each at the very top. Can't say who "shined" the most. Have to say, the mix here was excellent. Goerge's harmonies excellent. John and Paul's harmonies excellent. Ringo's drumming perfection - total full press.
My favorite number in this is "If I Fell". Love it when George smiles when John and Paul flub the lyric. Paul is in his harder voice and Ringo bangs away like John Bonham on a soft number. It's quite amazing how they adapted their art to performing in such a sonically inadequate and maddening environment. Their concerts were billed as an "appearance". In some cases local music stores were contracted to provide the P.A.. Foldback monitors were unheard of. God bless them. I'd give a tooth~ your pick ~ to have seen them in 1963 in a cinema or theater, but I suppose the pearls before swine tours were their sacrifice. The world needed to be shown !
The musical Kings of the 60s, the Beatles, left a unique creative mark on the life of our planet. I was lucky enough to live in the days of the full flowering of their work. Unforgettable days of communication with their wonderful songs will never be forgotten. Charming, talented guys lit the fire of a new era of pop rock music. A low bow to them at all times!
In 70's when I was a little boy I'm totally crazy for Beatles, Sir Paul McCartney is good musician, good bass guitarist good song writer and good vocalist, God bless him....🎸🎤🙏
John says "If I Fell...over". Well I fell over listening to this. Outstanding!
Very good work, Doctor Robert! I am 72 years old and grew up with the Beatles. Musically early socialized. Beatles music has been with me all my life. It will become classical music, comparable to Mozart, Beethoven, Bach etc. It always needs young musicians who play the songs live on stages in front of an audience.

I'm 73 and saw them live twice. Once in Brighton and once in London. Tickets were gold dust. Wonderful 😍. 👏 ❤🐛🦋🫂🙏🏻

This song is an indication of how innovative The Beatles would become. Lennon's triplets still amaze me.
I agree. I play guitar and those triplets on “all my loving” for practically the entire song are exceptionally hard to do. He was an excellent rhythm player.
@@jra2515 Coincidentally, I'm posting in a RUclips thread right now where a guy I worked with a couple times does those triplets to near perfection. He's pretty good though. He's now part of Randy Bachman's band. RUclips removes links so you'll have to Google * Trama - Abbotsford - and Kerry Grace interview * 11 minute 44 second mark.
@@Mo_Taser Oh... how amazing these four gentlemen carry this splendid and melodious music by conquering the great different nations to its epitome.
Great job!. They look & sound so great. I just LOVE Lennon's high pitched rock voice. Their musicianship & vocals are excellent, especially considering they played under somewhat brutal conditions.
Eu também ❤❤❤
A big thanks to the Doctor for putting this together. The audio quality is surprisingly good and I can see all of the painstakingly precise effort taken to edit clips into a coherent concert performance. Somehow I missed the Beatles' appearance in my town when they came through in '64, but this video showing up 58 years later helps ease the sting of my error.
The best band all time.
The Shout of John in "You can't do that" is the best shout in Rock 'n' Roll History
AGREE!!!! 🤗❤️
Dizzy Miss Lizzy too.
Twist and Shout?
Maybe but I still like Paul’s shouts best. : )
@ 2:50 ?
I really don't givashit about what drum aficionados say about ringos drumming...ITS GREAT! Perfect for what they were doing. Sounded like heavy machinery taking off.
They say a metronome uses a Ringo.
Nice one Arky!!!!
Dr. Thank you so much for this beautiful beautiful presentation! I don't even know what words to use to describe these four immortal beings. They will always be the biggest contributors to the music world. We, the people watching this unbelievable performance , I know are just so honored to do so. I LOVE YOU BEATLES!
George’s vocal harmonies with Paul really come thru in this audio. Well done! Thanks.
Yes indeed! I always thought George/Paul harmonies were just as good as John/Paul harmonies.
@@thesilvershining George is a mid harmony pimp....always on point
GEORGE!!!! 😍
FOUREVER!!!! 🥳
Almost 60 years old yet as fresh as when recorded. Thank you Doctor Robert for your wonderful work.

Love the sweeping motion Ringo does with his right hand on the hi-hat. Only one to do that!
When I was starting to play drums I used to imitate his swinging of the hats, but it's a lot harder than it seems!
❤❤❤❤❤ Rngo..❤❤❤❤
That was/is wonderful! Got tears in my eyes. Their camaraderie, their faith in each other, their graciousness (bowing after every song), their energy, their scknowledgement of Little Richard, their trail blazing and their joie de vivre. So glad that was part of my life.
All
My loving is great and you can hear George's voice so good George has a marvelous voice oh yeah
I have a watch with the name THE BEATLES yellow Submarine on it and I want to sell it
What a lineup--
George Harrison: lead guitar, back vocals
John Lennon: rhythm guitar, “better guitar”, vocals, back vocals
Paul McCartney: bass, vocals, back vocals
Ringo Starr: drums, percussion, vocals on “Boys”
The lineup stayed constant from 1964 to 1970. Every subsequent band that had been advertised as “the next Beatles” has been forgotten today. Remember the Bay City Rollers? Yeah, me neither.
The boys look beautiful ! They were the greatest show on earth 🌍 🪲🪲🪲🪲
Wow, you did one hell of a great job. Many thanks!
Well done!
Thank you Dr. Robert. I'm 72, seen lots of Beatles footage. These are some of the clearest in video and audio.
👍
wow this is just…GREAT…we even see John’s solo in You Can’t Do That…thanks for all the time it must’ve taken to put this together
How lucky are we to have not one but two films that capture most of John's solo? Thank you for your words!
Frank..I thought the same thing...wondering if we would EVER see J.Lennon actually playing that great solo.

Unbelievable to see all this in sync. Thanks!
Wow‼️You can feel their energy! Even though they couldn’t always hear themselves sing amidst all the screaming their playing is Rock Solid, and Ringo is a timekeeping phenomenon on the drums! 🧐Each song played while showing several clips of different performances reveals their consistent professional skill and second-nature abilities, all the while having a blast! No wonder they were able to record the album “Please Please Me” in one day! 😃Absolutely amazing!
This is awesome !!! TY…All these years I thought it was John harmonizing with Paul on Things We Said Today.. I’ll have to go back to the recording now and hear if it is George or Paul as his own backup. As a drummer, I think just how amazing Ringo is with his tempos, to be able to match multiple performance videos with a single audio track !!! They were so locked in…
He’s matching different camera angles from the same shows.
He says he used and matched footage from multiple shows ( even different years ) in the video description.
I was 5 when the Beatles came to NY, I live in Boston and I remember all the adults talking about the Beatles,lol my first favorite song, I wanna hold your hand. 😁
Super big band in the wold. I love the Beatles forever.. oh my God..👍❤️🇮🇩 greeting from Indonesia 🇮🇩🙏
Thank you, Doctor Robert. Fantastic job, and - needless to say - the world's greatest band! Love it!
This is a real treat. Thanks for posting it.
This is great! Other people have tried to do this sort of thing with Beatles clips, but yours actually works!
Fantastic, all the energy of the beatles live is appreciated!!!
If I fell is so beautiful and the harmony is extraordinary
Factor-in that they had no idea whether they were in-tune or in-time, and this is miraculous.
Thank you for posting this. I always wondered what a Beatles concert was like.
The 60's was a great time to be a teenager
Ja, weil alles so neu war, auch die Mode.😊
Heutzutage ist alles schon einmal da gewesen aber meist das Schlechte wird immer wiederholt und wiederholt😅
Auch die Mode.
Die Beatles könnten doch heutzutage wieder in diesen Anzügen auftreten.
Heutzutage laufen Männer in Legging's herum, wo die Hosen noch enger sind. 😅
Unless you were black
" it's called 'If I Fell'...over"
that gem alone makes your effort worthwhile!
thanks a million - your linked version is indeed lots better than the youtube version
29-30 minutes was about how long a Beatles concert was. This is great
Because they didn't take breaks or BS after every song. Just sang straight through as should all bands!
@@julieanndiorio2286 they only played 12 songs that’s why.
A far cry from 1962 when they were playing for 8 hours a night in Hamburg.
30 minutes was a push-over.
Great job. Brings back good memories for me. Those days were crazy. No wonder 2 years later they quit touring. But at that time in 1964 they exploded in the US. Thank you!
I never cared about sgt pepper anyways
25 shows in 30 days! How did their voices not give out?!
The Beatles are just the best of the best! I love hearing different versions of the songs like for instance there could be certain guitar twang you've never heard before in the other versions etc. I just love it!
Thank you for posting. You did a fabulous job splicing/editing all of this together into a single video. Must have been alot of work. Well, Beatle fans appreciate this and love watching the old vids of a great time for music and being witness to everything that was going at the time. The music, the social change, long hair, drugs, Vietnam War. We lived through alot!!! Thanks again.
Now, after living with Shitrump for some 10 or more awful years, I pay our next president IS a female, for once !!!
Man Ringo was really killing it on boys. Beatles doin some blues.
This is great. I prefer discovering new material like this 100 times more than hearing a remix of she “said she said” Or whatever that makes money for the machine.
This stuff is priceless. I have already noticed nuances in the performance of the songs which I had never heard before. And the sound quality is pretty darn good.
Keep it coming if you can! Thanks!
Continue to Make All Your Choices Wisely.
You did a fantastic job , as a Beatles fan I would like to thank you
I got to see The Beatles live in September 1964 for the first time. The girls screamed so much it was hard to hear them. This is awesome.
I really appreciate reading from people who were there to actually see the boys, thank you for sharing.

Their live sound is stunning. I'm 72 now, way past 64. Saw them at Shea Stadium when I was 13. This is highly emotional, mostly joyous. Thanks for this, the soundtrack of a young American boy who started a band to be like them.
Fabulosos. Tengo 72 años, ellos viven conmigo desde que tengo 14 años, los escucho en algùn momento todos los días.
Amigo Walter Enrique, igual que tu, tengo 72 años y en algún momento del día los escucho. Siempre recuerdo la 1ra vez que los escuché, mi padre me estaba llevando al colegio y de casualidad sonó "I want to hold your hand", quedé en shock, tengo más de 50 Lps, entre ellos el se sello Vee Jay y cantidad de Lps Capitol, Parlophone, Odeón de mi país Perú y otros más...👋
Tengo 70 y el 13 de octubre de 1964 los escuche y a partir de ahí me explotó la cabeza!!!!
Pues yo tengo 50 y los envidio a todos. Comencé a escucharlos con el disco doble azul. Eso fue en 1980 Desde entonces los escucho.
Estimado Walter!!! Tenemos historias parecidas, yo con 70 viví a partir del albun FOR SALE y comprar todo el material de estos genios y hoy con hijos y nietos disfrutamos la obra de estos genios, tuve la suerte de hacer el tour en 2011 en Liverpool dos días, si podes hacerlo no te lo pierdas, fue inolvidable!!!!

When you first announced this project, I was in middle school, now I'm 18 and graduating in October.
Great to finally see the full thing, great full concert.
OMG, Paul at the end with his falsetto on Long Talk Sally. Incredible. They had a rockabilly sound at their beginning songs. Simply amazing footage.
Quel boulot monstre ! Bravo Doctor Robert, et merci de nous faire revivre ça, c’est presque mieux qu’un seul concert, au moins ici on les voit sous plusieurs angles, dans différents endroits, exceptionnel !! Les Beatles étaient les Beatles et on a déjà tout dit sur eux, mais ce travail de reconstruction mérite d’être applaudi et remercié ! Thank you so much.
A great huge thank you to Brian Epstein who "discovered" these four lads from Liverpool, and to George Martin, who saw something magical in them,
And, mountains of gratitude to Doctor Robert for bringing this video to all of us watching it and reliving our lives when we were young.

Bravo! Fantastic musical artefact from nearly 60 years ago.
Just as the Beatles worked incredibly hard for perfection, Doctor Robert has also and I thank you wholeheartedly for this.
so this is what The Beatles Live Project announcement in 2014 was supposed to look like...lol...THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!
I saw them in Kansas City, 1964. The concert was arranged in a short 3 weeks, not giving most of the midwest kids a chance to put together the money for the $8.50 and $5.50 tickets. I was lucky, they left the first 30 rows empty, expecting a riot and my friend and I moved up to the front once the cops realized nothing was happening and they turned around to watch the show, too! John later said it was the first time they could hear themselves play a concert! I lost the photos but they are still ingrained in my mind.
What is amazing is I don't believe they had monitors. It would be like playing into empty space. You have to hand it to their talent.
At Atlanta Fulton County Stadium in August 1965, Brian Epstein had an audio store in Atlanta called Baker Audio supply additional speakers for the Beatles concert. Baker Audio provided them with foldback speakers set up on stage. Both John and Paul commented in-between numbers about how they could hear themselves play over the screaming crowd. After the concert, Brian asked the people who worked for Baker Audio to come along the rest of the U.S. tour to work with The Beatles. The Baker Audio folks declined, their reason was that they didn't think The Beatles were going to last.
Amps and recording equipment were so rudimentary at the time that both performances were similar, couple that with endless shows in Hamburg and The Cavern; it isn't all that surprising that they'd nail 10-12 songs a night.
Awesome job putting this together, thank you, thank you, thank you!! I was 12 when The Beatles appeared on Ed Sullivan. Changed my world... the soundtrack of my teen years, and on to today. Well done, Sir! 🧡👍👍
