@sabbracadabra8367 Well they did in the early years and they loved Motown. But they wrote their own songs and these took over. They stopped touring very quickly after their big impact in the US and effectively became a studio band.
This is actually two separate BBC appearances. The first three songs are from Mar. 1962 and the last three are from June 1962. Pete was replaced in August.
Hardly recognized John in the back, sitting down, wearing glasses he hated to wear in public until years later when he made those "Lennon rounds" iconic!
I have this on cd. Cd 1 of a 9 cd set. The Complete BBC recordings bootleg. The 2nd song is Dream Baby which is a Roy Orbison cover. This is most definitely the Beatles with Pete Best. I believe it is from March ‘62. Ringo officially joined the Beatles in August ‘62
I'm guessing you heard the BBC recording of "Love Me Do" with Ringo.. but he's playing the Pete Best drum arrangement. I think the tape was rediscovered in the early 80s, but a short bit of the recording began to circulate last year.
The songs are The Marvelettes' "Please, Mr. Postman," Roy Orbison's "Dream Baby," Chuck Berry's "Memphis, Tennessee," The Beatles' "Ask Me Why," Consuelo Velásquez's "Besame Mucho" and Joe Brown's "Picture of You." The most interesting songs are "Dream Baby" and "Picture of You" because no other recordings of them by The Beatles are known to exist. "Memphis, Tennessee" and "Besame Mucho" are on the Decca audition tape and "Ask Me Why" and "Please, Mr. Postman" were recorded commercially for EMI. Pete Best's drumming doesn't sound as exciting as it did on his two most famous recordings with The Beatles (the Hamburg sessions from June 1961 and the Decca audition on January 1, 1962), maybe because he was underrecorded in the mix. But it's hard to compare this "Please, Mr. Postman" with the commercial version and not conclude that Ringo added a lot to the band's sound.
@@standbytogo123 The Hamburg tapes, including "Cry for a Shadow," were from a studio session held in an old gym. They were not live recordings. And "Cry for a Shadow" was credited to John Lennon and George Harrison, the only time the two shared composing credit on a song.
@@standbytogo123 that was a studio recording; there’s a lot if studio recordings with Pete; the Decca auditions & the Tony Sheridan sessions but these are the only live recordings in front of an audience
Still mostly a cover band when this music went over BBC, but really interesting song selection and it's more country and rockabilly than blues (and I can't believe how well they got into the groove of "Besame Mucho" the Mexican song. They were amazing doing even this, especially the vocal impersonations of some of the originals. But they already had the hair covering their foreheads and were getting positioned to shock the world.
If this is indeed the 1st BBC performance, it would be March 7, 1962. Best would still be drummer. Ringo joined in August, 1962. Judging from the drumming style here, lack of dynamics, four on the floor bass drum, steadily getting faster towards the end of the songs, it's Pete Best.
@@peterchapman7288 Yes I am aware of that the Beatles were close with Roy. They toured with him back in1963. George Harrison remained close right up to the collaboration with the Traveling Wilbury's in the late 1980's and his untimely passing. Thank you for contacting me, God bless! 🌎☮️❤️🇺🇸🇬🇧🍏🌀👀
amazing, still a cover band, they certainly had paid their dues honing their sound, there's no indication of a massive hit writing juggernaut they'd become, just months away from being the biggest band in the world.
Their fans in and around Liverpool loved the Beatles sound with Pete Best and danced to them playing all the time. They had a very enthusiastic following in and around Liverpool because of their sound and stage presence - and Pete Best was part of that concoction.
Geez! Give them "some credit" for how "Polished" they were for a bunch of "kids!" So they were a little fast - you think maybe they were just a little nervous seeing how it's their FIRST gig with the "BBC!"
They were fans of amphetamines, so that might be a factor. The first Grateful Dead album goes this way, too. And yet, I really like that album! And the early Beatles stuff. During a live performance you can see on RUclips, The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's: Live in Concert (The Analogues), the band closes off with some early Beatles tunes, and the audience is on their feet.
Yeah, I know this audio recording is fourteen minutes of suck, but it captures Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr at the beginning of their careers. They sure do have a lot of heart and talent, and if they really and truly work hard, and apply themselves, maybe one day they can become famous. Like Elvis. And here be the songs they are performing--- PLEASE MR. POSTMAN DREAM BABY MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE ASK ME WHY BESAME MUCHO PICTURE OF YOU Maybe Paul and John should get busy and write their own songs so the Beatles won’t be just another cover band. Just saying.
I spoke with Pete Best a couple of times. Once I spoke to his Mom. They were both very enjoyable to converse with.
Thanks for posting.
This recording shows what an accomplished rock n roll band they were before hitting prime time - incredible singing by John and Paul
Good!貴重な音源ですね！
They were a great band back in the day....(and later on).......
Classic, hearing George sing Picture of You.
Listened to them at that time in 1962 it was played over the ships (Royal Navy) SRE system I was nearly 17. Blew me away
I had not heard sweet dreams yet. Love the lead guitar!
Those voices and arrangements……
'picture of you, sung by george harrison,' was a a hit for joe brown, who sang, 'i'll see you in my dreams' at george harrison's funeral!!!
The Motown crowd knew that the minute the Beatles did one of their songs it would be a hit!
Awesome live version of Please Mr. Postman!!
This performance of "Please Mr. Postman" was the first time a Motown song had been played on British radio.
So what.
@@ShiddyFinkelsteinI was just thinking that.

Just for the record, on the 🥁 Drums is not Ringo, It’s Pete Best. This was the last time he played with them.

And they were right to replace him with Ringo.
Great photo!
One of the best I've seen - really captures that "looks" - like... we're ready to "rock"!
Great photo YES, but was not accurate as Pete Best played drums not Ringo as the photo would suggest.
That is weird - so was it photoshop-ed?@@yell50
@@charliemurphy3529 This was recorded by the BBC on the 7th of March 1962- Pete Best was sacked August 1962

I am NOT a Pete fan but this is historically significant as it’s the only live Beatles recording I am aware of with Pete Best on drums
There are at least a couple of more. They are on the Anthology Package. 'Cry for a Shadow' an instrumental by George was one of them.

Clearly, Pete Best on drums!
Do you know the date of "this" particular show? Just wondering cause Ringo joined in August of '62...

Its Ringo. They were touring with Roy Orbison when Please Please Me hit #1. Pete Best was long gone when they recorded that song

They toured the UK with him around 1963 or 64. They really dug him. And of course George ended up playing with him in the Wilburys.

I love you is actually called Ask me Why and was I believe the b-side of one of their first singles.
Great song....what became of this group?
@sabbracadabra8367Yeh, a whole succession of them.
Pls be requested to describe title correctly.
Title#4 is Ask Me Why i/o I Love You & #5 is Besame Mucho i/o Dream Take.
Paul with his Hofner that went missing for about 50 years.
@sabbracadabra8367 It was in someone’s attic less than 10 miles away! :)
@sabbracadabra8367 There’s a great story behind it if you search “the lost bass project”.
That was unusual in the 60s - John wearing his glasses!
Imagine the next school day. The only thing anyone could talk about was "Did You See Them?"
リンゴ・スターのドラムじゃない気がするんですが、それはそれで貴重です。
March 7, 1962.
Thank you!
It is a hard to believe what they developed into.
Спасибо битлз ❤
Besame Mucho here sounds fantastic with backing vocals, the Anthology version is only Paul singing 😢
Thankyou..
THIS IS PETE BEST ON DRUMS
Definitely not Ringo.

Besame.
This brodcast at the bbc was in october 1962 fact
1962❤
If this is with Pete Best, why it is Ringo in the picture?
I don't think that the picture has nothing to do with the recording we hear. The host in the picture looks like Brian Matthew.
Sounds like Pete Best on drums?
Pretty good little group, possibly going places, though guitar bands are so dated -and odd name ...
Pete best was a original Beatles and a good drummer
Not a good Beatle…he had no charisma.
You must be almost deaf
@@jaybee9269 he was a original Beatles and how do you know he had no charisma..
He was an okay drummer for the Cavern Club... really not good enough for records.
@@samphillips9104 >> I’ve seen him speak. No charisma, no playfulness, no humor, not a great drummer either, so: Not a good Beatle.
TAKE JUDE by APOLOGETIX a great Beatles parody
At about 20 seconds in to "postman", Pete loses the beat...he never gets it back.
Pete sounds competent but... George was a great harmony singer and background singer but George Martin really underutilized him.

Yeah, the percussion is a bit jerky, choppy, have to hand it to those who heard that this beat was nearly undanceable.

Pete Best has practically been erased from history. Like an "unperson" from Orwell's "1984."
Really? Because he has been on every lat night talk show at one time or another.
