Beatles Washington DC, 1964

Too bad that John's mike (She Loves You) was too loud compared to the Paul/George mic, but it's still a GREAT video.
The version of PLEASE PLEASE ME is awwwwwwsoooommmme!!!!! Soooo much ENERGY
- straight from Hamburg and Liverpool to the American stage.

One of the things that made the Beatles so great was that EACH of the 4 elements was so identifiable.

Great stuff.

The Beatles' setlist for their August 15th, 1965 Shea Stadium concert was: "Twist And Shout," "She's A Woman," "I Feel Fine," "Dizzy Miss Lizzy," "Ticket To Ride," "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby," "Can't Buy Me Love," "Baby's In Black," "Act Naturally," "A Hard Day's Night," "Help!" and "I'm Down."

I've mentioned this before, but.... why don't they reissue that concert on DVD in the quality seen on the Anthology DVD's?
I have a quite good copy, but most other titles are absolute shockers, soundwise and videowise. Shea was one great concert!

Harrison’s letter about Beatles’ hatred of jelly babies pelting up for grabs

A letter that late Beatles member George Harrison had written to a fan, detailing that the band hated being pelted with jelly babies on stage, is expected to sell for 800 pounds at auction next month.

After Harrison revealed that he loved eating the sweets, the band was often bombarded with them.
However, in the letter Harrison wrote in 1963 to Lynn Smith, then a 15-year-old schoolgirl, he revealed how the Fab Four hated them.

“We don’t like jelly babies, so think how we feel standing on stage trying to dodge the stuff. Besides it is dangerous,” the Mirror quoted him as having written.

“I was ecstatic when he wrote back,” Smith, from Salisbury, Wilts, added.

Roy looks like he's holding a pair of sevens.

I don't know if this one has been posted before, but I just love it. Really warm and witty followed by an inspiring collection of outtakes with lots of personality.

Great stuff! [ ... sniff sniff ... ]

Classic stuff with Eric and Ernie. Four of the best, with two of the best...
