00:18 woooh

[BrandonDaBeatle]

bad mic..it moving in its own..its must have been a bad concert..with the sound quality not good

[ZackMyslinski]

I think they had a bad trip....to Japan!

mic

[Scsigs]

2:34-2:38 or something, George screws up the lyrics a bit, like he was gonna say "fuck this," or something like that, but then he went back to the lyrics

[Scsigs]

They needed some duct tape for the mic stands, or to tighten them, they were WAY too loose.

[vieatoz]

They didn't seem enjoy themselves playing. Was it the sound system? Or the crowd probably?

[beatlesforever123456]

stupid mics!

[scilscil]

"Hello good evening and everything" lol that was awesome :D

[schumickthegreat]

wow you could tell george didn't want to be there

[ubacam]

i like what they did with this live version... usually they speed up their songs' live but with this one they toned it down a little... very nice boys

[cybercop112]

lol george says if i fucking needed someone at 2:34

[DrSquidley]

@cybercop112 hahaha,thiswasrightbefore they stopped touring so they just didnt give a shit anymore, apparently they all did stuff like that while they were performing, they hadnt been able to hear themselves play in two years because of the constant screaming, the japanese were polite enough to sit and listen so it made the flaws in their playing painfully obvious, in interviews with john lennon he said that they would stop playing completely and do other shit with american/brit audiences

[xXloverchic17Xx]

2:34 george forgets his own lyrics!!!!! hahahaha!!!!

[Dodo251]

I think they're singing slightly out of key.

[jeffkahl]

note the drum kit mic slowly lowering between 1:58 and 2:02! LOL

[sasybee]

@jeffkahl i didnt notice that! way funny!

[skinnyhell94]

@sasybee hahahaha and almost at the ending you see Paul trying to move the mic to sing because its moving towards John wtf is happening to the mics?? lol

[wackijacko3k8]

george started to forget his lines at 2:32

[rusty1491]

@wackijacko3k8  Yeah it looks like he temporarily dazed off and came back out of rhythm.

[cybercop112]

awman ringos mike fell during the song he rea;;y seemend pissed off

[petegadget]

Wow. On this one, the Beatles would have flunked their own Rockband game. I'm also amazed at how little stage prep there was back in the day. Tuning guitars and amps after their stage entrance - I totally get why they got the hell out of stage and went to the studio.

[IDC500pro2]

they sound very tired!

[kiler967]

well this concert is good but the people... no

[BeatnikManfred]

........thank you so much for posting this....I love George.......Hare Krishna

[sasybee]

you're truly welcome :)

[GVMX050]

Thise mic stands look like a pain in the ass!

[danielcccook]

Ringo at 1:50 must be thinking "maybe this is an off night"

[jeffkahl]

@danielcccook more like "jesus that's what we sound like without the wall of screaming to mask everything!"

[tyronerodgers]

Yeh. It's a shame they didn't play this song a little better (especially with the vocals) as it would've been good to have had as one of the live tracks on Anthology 2. Never the less, Great song!

[ringomainia]

george is a little flat

[pazthepenguin]

I would imagine they all wanted to destroy it afterwards. Especially Paul.

[pazthepenguin]

the first and last microphone that attempted to sabotage The Beatles.

[Cagnam]

what a microphone......
