I am now a man of 70 years; I lived in the time of Einstein, Yuri Gagarin, Elvis, Kennedy, King, Ali and the Moon Landing; but nothing can compare to the amazement, delight and joy of living in the time of The Beatles. I have had a great life with music that travels Across the Universe.
I saw that concert, on the telly. John's remark about 'just shake your jewels' was delightfully irreverent and the subject of quite a lot of scandalised comment. Those were different times.
Four guys, two guitars, one bass guitar and a drum kit. No special effects, no auto tune. This is what being in a band is all about and it sadly has been lost to history,
In just 2 years they rose from dirty bars and caverns, to the heights of popularity, and in 3 years, world fame, and after 6 more years, they were legends. They will be legends forever.
People are always saying how cheeky it was of John to make that jewelry quip but how cheeky was it of all 4 of them to play / sing 'shake it up baby now / come and work it on out" to the Queen Mum ? It went way beyond 'cheeky' all the way to total BALLS. It was a totally different world back then.
In addition to being a tremendous songwriter, Paul was blessed with a golden set of pipes. He's nailing everything here, lead vocals, harmonies, falsettos.
This is perhaps their very best concert, free of screams and noise, we really get to hear them live! For once! and they played and sang it flawlessly being able to hear themselves. It’s perfect.
"For our last number , I'd like to ask you for some help" ( pause ) "would the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands "(audience laughter) "could the rest of you rattle your jewellery '( audience laughter and applause)
I saw the Beatles play live at the Sheffield City Hall for 17 shillings & 6 pence on the 9th of November 1964, I have their autographs with provenance & still have everything including the show tickets. I will be 71 this year, & can remember all the details.
Everytime I hear someone say the Beatles are overrated, I just cringe. They were so talented and ground breaking.
59 years later I've come to the conclusion that She Loves You has aged a lot better than I have

Unreal how watching them never, EVER, gets old.

Lennon couldn’t resist a dig at the Royals. When he said just Rattle your Jewelry! He was so cheeky.
The Beatles displayed a level of confidence not seen in persons their age...
George’s guitar work on “Til There Was You” is just awesome.

It's amazing that just 6 years later The Beatles would be up on the rooftop, singing "Don't Let me Down" with an entirely different look.

You can tell Paul is super nervous but he kills it anyway!!
"She Loves You"....what an astonishing performance! Only 20 years old, and George Harrison is a master of his craft.
