  • John's moptop on I'm A Loser- Gorgeus!

  • Paul looks surprised at 0:20- 0:22 . Funny!

  • 5:51 paul says "yea"

  • fuckin girls wanting to fuck em, shh were trying to listen to music

  • They would have been even more famous if Ringo sang EVERY song...ok kidding but he's really underated

  • oh george!! <3 

  • im in my living room screaming and im 46 years old.the host of shindig said it best=the enertainment phenomenon of the century!

  • you can't even hear it with all the screaming! :) lol

  • Great video, greatest video!!!

  • Comment removed

  • something seems to be wrong, as if recorded some other time: check out george's guitar solos (fingering is not always in synch) same with the harmonica.. regardless: still a great performane

  • @gregorheinrich they record it before the show then just lip sync their previous recording. Its pseudo live: recorded live, lip synced later. you can see george laughing at john when he messed up the harmonica and george laughing at himself messing up the end of the solo. The biggest tell tho is ringo playing on the cymbals, he barely touches them.

  • very good bass line in "boys"

  • I would think it gets annoying when every time you are trying to perform the crowd screams, especially if its a song that is important to you

  • This is one of THE best versions of this song on stage. Way better than any of their record versions.

  • Amazing with all this great music still listened it's incredible how much shit music is put out today . What's happened?!

  • Damn these guys were good.

  • Damn these guys were good.

  • Miming here?

  • I smile when I see this vidéo ^^

  • george OWNED these solo's

  • I love it how when John swings his leg the crowd goes crazy

  • Lennon as BOB DYLAN!!!!

  • George is really having fun on this recording!

  • It's all about the music. I like what I like........Thank You ! clauclau7

  • it`s always seemed to me they sang i`m aN loser.i`m russian so that`s not clear to me why should it be like this?

  • @audiomarginal it's just grammar, or as they say in Russian - грамматика :))

  • woooo kansas city! my hometown baby!

  • @jimbrofrey - states shindig in London '64, by the looks. No wonder they are having a jolly time!

  • i dont think this is sync'd but ringo is defo not playing the drums ha

  • The Beatles were the strongest voice of a generation of many strong, talented voices. Nature set them apart for a reason. It is so we do not just think they were just another great band, so we look closer and listen a little better. When we do, we will discover that they were prophets. Go to truthcontest (dot) com and open The Present, then read the section about The Beatles.

  • AlyRox. Most agree that this was their best "cover" song. The version you hear on the record, CD, mp3, & everything else is a "one-take" recording. Plus, John was in Paul's face getting Paul to "really put out" the vocal, which he did. Paul did that for John on the song Money, which is also a powerhouse cover. Never gets old, does it. I was there in England in 62&63 & lived thru it as it was happening. Yes, it was as if they were from another planet. Perfection from the beginning.

  • jimboyfrey, this was a TV show in London. Shindig! was a US weekly TV show for us teens back then. You want the Beatles, then you go to the Beatles, which is what Shindig! did. Note: most TV shows back then did not have the technical equipment to balance & broadcast both the vocals & music together, so it was not unusual for them to record the music the day before & then sing live on TV, as was the case here. John's harmonica & George's guitar were a bit off in a couple of places. Heaven!!!!

  • Paul, John,George and Ringo really let loose this time. The boys were really getting down! They look rather happy.

  • Comment removed

  • The Beatles and KC BBQ thats the combo .

  • Paul is just AMAZING!!

  • Can anyone tell me which concert this is? I think its the Paris one but I'm not sure.

  • paul mccartney is definitely my favorite beatle. hands down. i mean i have love for lennon and respect somewhat too. but jeez lousie, that paul is awesome.

  • John's so amazing playing guitar and harmonica at the same time

  • God Bless you Paul. Thank you for your efforts.

  • My Idols! Gosh I love them so much!!!

  • it's actually mimed this show. same with a couple of other "live" appearances. they pre-recorded live tracks rather than straight off the record, so it sounded live rather then when it's obvious when it's from the record. thats why you can hear a bit of lennon's harmonica in i'm a loser when he isn't playing

  • @MattNIcholsBeatle I agree. George is my favorite Beatle but I give Paul kudos for ALWAYS appearing to enjoy hinself on stage throughout their career.

  • I noticed the harmonica thing too....hmmm?,,,im not doubting your word...are you sure about it being mimed ??....

  • @NonStopRocker Yea I'm sure, I have read it in a few books. In a lot of TV shows they just mimed to the record but for a couple of others (including this one, and the "around the beatles" show from 64, they recorded "live versions" to mime to so it would be so obvious they were miming, because it sounds like the record.

  • @NonStopRocker seach for "Around the Beatles" and watch all the clips of the performance in that link and you'll see the same. you can see john mouthing different words or coming in late, ringo missing his cues in i wanna be your man, and listening for it in shout. plus you can tell because george is using his 12 string rickenbacker even though you cannot hear any 12 string sounds in the songs

  • i,ll do that for sure...appreciate the response...thanks..

  • @worldcitizenforever:

    Julius Caesar was split into four personalities?

    Aha !

  • @worldcitizenforever :....anyway i´m here to enjoy the music - solet´s stop that now !

  • @worldcitizenforever:History of the Romans from 500B.C. to 300A.D. would be a great lesson for theUSA-if they learned something about it at school-i don´t assume they do too often.Let´s make a bet WHENthe president will be transformed to an imperator-with all the"nice"accidents that happened after 14A.D.(some"imperators"wanted to be Caesars,others of them wanted to slip into obscurity+also others wanted divine reverence status).

    Which"status"will the Bush clan have in200 years in hystery books?

  • I'd like to see a member of these all-the-same boy bands tackle playing the guitar, singing and playing the harmonica at the same time as John did with 'I'm a loser'.

  • ringo, was the most popular beatle of all in the u.s. originally. as I remember americans liked him about three to one over any of the others. and he was very likeable in all those early interviews. his humor,ease,playfulness, all endeared him to people in the states. they like that sort of thing very much. he seemed appoachable.

  • why dop people have to argue on these video's for whatever reason let's just enjoy the music of the beatles we shouldent care what anyone else things and i'm not sticking up for anyone but people have there say even tho i aint seen what the guy said

  • Harrison is a god, doing solo`s

  • Hi! Beatles have such a nice feel about singing and playing music, many, yes many! tried to copy that, but nobody could come near that special feel that they had; my opinion. Thanks Janne

  • John was a sexy beast.

  • cute

  • I love Ringo's head shake!!

  • The best time in my life! ..... Awesome music production!

  • lmao @ 7:20

  • lennon and mc cartney singing into the mic together = musical heaven.

  • @goffmeister78 i always wondered if their breaths stunk and they felt dizzy XD

    

  • very niiiice

  • fantastico , son los beatles¿ algo mas que decir ?

  • @worldcitizenforever You'll never be good enough to get

    into the US of A normally, but that's ok, 'cause you're not

    ready to be a USA citizen.

  • @sp4armyguy1:Obviously the worldcitizenforever hasn´t got all cups in his board anymore...but that should not make you assume that most west+north europeans are in urgent need of the U.S. citizenship,we´re quite content with our"primitive"little countries where EVERYONE gets general medicare...LOL

    Either the presidents get shot in the States or they get regularly boycotted,your country is deeply divided whilst pretending an"American dream"that can be fulfilled anytime,in Europe it´s vice versa!

  • @sp4armyguy1 Wrldcitizen is a shit disturber but your just annoying.

    Your the reason most of the world already hates Americans, they don't want in your country full of rednecks and shady politicians.

  • @sparkytrick red necks rock. PEOPLE'VE GOTTA STOP BAGGIN' EM. DON'T YOU KNOW REVERSE RACISM IS STILL RACISM? PLUS IT'S TOO EASY OF AN OUT IN TERMS OF CHARACTER ASSASSINATION. AND IT MAKES YOU SOUND LIKE A BUNCH OF HOUSE BROKEN PRISSY PONCES. (SEE ISN'T THAT BETTER THAN MY CALLING YOU A METROSEXUAL, OR HOMO OR NUTLESS WONDER?)

  • @LUKADATAS Sorry. I didn't mean to ofend rednecks. People always putting those racists down.

  • @sparkytrick YES YOU DID. DON'T WORRY THOUGH CAUSE EVERYONES RACIST AS SHIT, IT'S IN OUR GENES. SAVES US FROM WASTEFUL, TIME CONSUMING, OBJECTIVITY. EXCEPT THOSE SOUTH AFRICANS WHO KILLED THE WHITE FARMERS QUADRUPLED THEIR POPULATION AND NOW HAVE THEIR HANDS OUT FOR THE WORLD TO FEED THEM. THEY DEFINITELY ARE THE EXCEPTION. AND I GUESS YOU HAVE THAT IN COMMON WITH THEM. HOORAY FOR YOU.

  • @sparkytrick PS, THE WHITE STRIPES SUCK ASS

  • @LUKADATAS Thats cool. Troll.

  • @sparkytrick YOU WISH, SLUGGO.

  • @LUKADATAS Your pretty smart. You went to my page to see my favorited videos, then saw the White Stripes there, and decided to say they "suck" without listening to a single one of their songs. Nice.

  • @sparkytrick you know it, brother.

  • @LUKADATAS Thats pretty cool. Your an idiot.

  • @sparkytrick I'm pretty cool, everything I do is very cool. Don't be jealous though cause most people are at your level or slightly higher.

  • @LUKADATAS :P You fucking ego maniac! Get a life, your not cool your stupid, you don't even understand sarcasm! Jesus Christ.

  • @sparkytrick OOH SENSITIVE. DID I TOUCH A NERVE? DO YOU NEED YOUR MUMMY?

  • @LUKADATAS Sure thats it. You're just really dumb. And stop writing in all caps, you look like a retard.Fuck sakes.

  • @sparkytrick YOU IS RIDING THE EASILY UPSET TRAIN ISN'T YOO. BUT I DIGRESS. YOU LOOK LIKE A BIG FATTY. EVERYBODY SAYS SO.

  • @LUKADATAS What? Everybody says so? Okay complete stranger I believe you! :P

  • @sparkytrick YOU SHOULD CAUSE THERE WAS A MEETING. EVERYBODY CAME.

    THERE WAS A VOTE AND THEN LATER WE HAD HAMBURGERS.

  • @LUKADATAS Are you mentally retarded? You don't know me your a complete fucking stranger how would you know Im fat? Is that how you fucking insult people? Over the internet? Your just fucking stupid.

  • @sparkytrick are you really fat? they all said you were but i didn't want to believe them. they also said you could very easily have your stomach stapled. I am a bit mentally challenged, you see, so I said 'what's that?' and they said 'oh yeah, that's where fattys who are too bone idle to do any ecksor... get off their huge arses, have their giant stomach inlet valve reduced so they can't jam so many gumballs and fairy cakes down their gobs as snacks as once they used to'

    N E HOO ur welcome,

  • @LUKADATAS im not fat, where are you getting this info? You are fucking mentally retarded.

  • @sparkytrick I AM, AM I, WELL THE MENSA SOCIETY WILL BE VARY SURPRISED TO HEAR THAT. BUT THE REASON I KNOW YOUR FAT IS BECAUSE YOU'RE SUCH A FLAKE. YOUR EITHER AN OVER WEIGHT MALE LATE 20'S OR OLDER OR A TEENAGE GIRL. OR BOTH. DON'T TELL ME THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE A LOT OF BIPOLARS HAVE THAT ACTION GOING ON. WITHIN OR WITHOUT A MULTIDIMENSIONAL QUANTUM UNIVERSE. SORRY IF YOUR OFFENDER.AND YER STILL WELCOME YOU SORRY UNGRATEFUL DOPEY FAT SLAG.

  • @LUKADATAS . The reason you know I'm fat? You don't know anything about me! You don't know anything at all! Your fuckingstupid! It's hilarious how you think your offending me, but your just a god damn idiot. Your not even on the same topic. You said rednecks shouldnt be prejudiced againts, which is fucking stupid! Get fucked and I am not fat you cant just call a person you have never met fat and expect you to think your tough, thats fucking embarrassing. Turn your fucking caps lock off.

  • @sparkytrick CHANGE THE RECORD, FATSO.

    PS TURN YOUR CAPS LOCK ON. HOW CAN YOU EXPECT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY WHEN YOUR JUST USING SMALL LETTERS. AND ONLY THE OCCASIONAL LARGE ONE.

    PPS THE POINT OF YOU TUBE IS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO TOUGH OR THIN (UNLIKE YOU), JUST LIPPY.

  • @LUKADATAS You have some of the worst grammar I have ever read and saying that using all caps is the only way to get taken seriously proves to me that your a troll. Fuck off, don't reply to this I'm ending this BS.

  • @sparkytrick ALSO YOU SHOULD LEARN HOW TO SPELL BEFORE YOU CALL ME AN IDIOT. I AT LEAST CAN SPELL THOSE THINGS YOU CLEARLY FIND SO CONFUSING CALLED WORDS.

  • @sparkytrick I see that you've failed world history. The US of A came to the rescue of Europe during WW1 AND WW2. If it hadn't been for those many BRAVER AMERICANS Europe would've been under German domination. You should be thankful that America is ALWAYS comming to the rescue of the world.

  • @sp4armyguy1 YOU MUST'VE GOTTEN A C AT BEST. I'M NOT SAYING AMERICANS ARENT CRAZY BRAVE BUT AMERICA GOT A CRAPLOAD OUT OF WORLD WAR 2. INCLUDING THE MAJORITY OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE EFFECTIVELY ENDING IT FOREVER. AMERICA GETS THE JOB DONE AND THE WORLD COULDN'T GET BY WITHOUT IT. BUT THEY ALWAYS MAKE SURE THEY GET PAID FOR THEIR TROUBLE. EVEN IF IT MEANS TAKING THINGS THAT MAY WELL HAVE BEEN BETTER MANAGED IN FOREIGN HANDS.

  • @sp4armyguy1 When did I talk about world war two? God. And don't say that America is a great country compared to ones in europe it really isn't it is the 11th best country in the world. Not that great.

  • @sparkytrick FUCK OFF THEN SLUG FACE , YOU WON'T BE MISSED,

  • @sp4armyguy1 in ww1 u saved our asses, but not in ww2, u helpd but we had it coverd

  • @worldcitizenforever LONG LIVE AMERICA. "Bite me hard" wcf

  • 7:20 - Love John's personality!!!

  • In 40 years I've NEVER seen a video where George actually seemed to be having fun like in this one. They say he got to hate live shows but this one was taped before he reached that point obviously. Really captures the moment. Thanks for sharing.

  • @edncda I think George didn't hate live playing when they could be heard, like this sort of appearance. He hated all the screaming crowds when they couldn't hear, and all the traveling.

  • @edncda Dude that's bullshit he never hated live performances

  • I used to watch shindig but I know I never saw this. what fun. my parents probably made me watch "death valley days" with your host ronald reagan that night. I'm just glad i can see everything i missed now. thanks for posting this.

  • In Baltimore, day show, Ringo lite the place with this sound..

  • It is so good it sounds like an overdub.

  • I read in Revolution In The Head that they were self-conscious about performing Kansas City in front of black audiences when they were touring the US...but I'm sure they did ok

  • good performance ..Ringo

    !!!!

  • watching this just put me in the best mood! long live the beatles!!!!

  • this was recommended to me on youtube. of course, i thought, shite.  but, no... no... no... it is quite a good example of early beatles, and of course, paul and george. thank goodness.

  • It looks like they've outgrown their spiffy suits by this point.

  • Is paul mouthing the words in the back ground or is he singing??? :)

  • when george lifted his guitar on the solo on boys he unleashed beatlemania lol beales rockband

  • Comment removed

  • I realized that "Boys" is one of the rare cases where all 4 Beatles are singing at the same time- I love it when they do!

  • @QueenBeatlesWings i just noticed that in most of the videos i watch i see your comments! lol.

  • @NarutoEX100 well, that's probably because we all like some of the same music-LOL.

  • Paul has always had a great rock voice- and still does

  • John : HEY!

    George: HEY!

    ;)

  • My Favorite 12 bar.

  • 3:46 paul the chipmunk lolol

  • Why did Paul and George always share a microphone? (perhaps if they were both right handed they wouldn't have)

  • @jutescrim they didnt always share a mic- the way it works is the lead vocalist gets their own microphone and the backing singers share one- so geroge shared with both John and Paul at different times

  • @QueenBeatlesWings And John and Paul shared one often as well like in this very clip during I'm a Loser and Boys. And If I Fell and Baby's in Black and Ticket to Ride and I Saw Her Standing There and...well, enough said really.

    On the Ed Sullivan Show during This Boy all THREE shared one single microphone, lol. It got a bit crowded!

  • Paul is absolutely hilarious - see how he goes "Pom pom pom" all the time and sings when John's actually the lead singer. God, and i love the way John's always trying hard not to laugh...and George...and... I LOVE THEM

  • The entertainment phenomenon of the century, What an Understatement.

  • I would've confused myself shaking my head, playing the drums, AND singing all at once, you rock Ringo

  • What and old video

  • i watched this about 50 times and im still not board.

  • Love how George is suprised they're filiming at 6:45

  • As Sir George Martin once said "they were really good". NOW - For all you people who are bashing these performances and the Beatles,you are the LOSER - These

    are much more than historical. The Beatles wear PROFESSIONALLY PERFECT !!!!!!! The song "BOYS" was sung by The Shirells -b-side of W.Y.S.L.M.T. My fav."early" Beatles song.

  • Unforgetable John's voice!

  • It seems dat dey weren't feeling I'm a loser too much but I saw dis video of when dey were in Paris and dey performed dat song and dey were really feeling it, all dey have to do Is make da song more upbeat

  • ringo the best!

  • WHERE'S GEORGE'S PART??!! D=

  • I see some glitches in George's guitar break in "Boys" too--it's likely these are prerecorded for sound quality & then mimed (vocals may be live), and the 'doubled' harp may be bleed from that augmented by the live feed on John's mic.

    Watever, I agree this is a great video take. By letting at least SOME 'live' stuff happen, Shindig provided some glorious insights in an otherwise fully-constructed time.

  • Were they miming "I'm a Loser"? George's solo was studio-master-take perfect.

  • @uberllama42 It's a live rendition. George's simply playing the same notes.

    But you can tell there's someone playing a backup Harmonica to John's.

  • i think it's cute to see paul singing along all the words in the background. because i think this was a john song completely, right? but he obviously likes it too

  • paul's been singing for over 40 years now......amazing.

  • Paul voice is amazing here!

  • Top lead guitar from George

  • @tithy5 indeed!

  • @tithy5 paul mccartney is great, he is playing that bass line and singing great at the same time.

  • did they tranistion from imma loser to boys or is it just lik tht

  • @worldcitizenforever PLEASE whoever the cuntard you are ...learn the english language first (..the most basic ABC for you) so that we can actually make out wot you're tryin to say.....otherwise shut the fuckup and go lick your stinking granny's POONTANG....

  • Paul has one of the greatest voices in the history of music.

  • @taylorj6177 with his voice, and his looks, yeah he pretty much has it made :) its funny, im not gay, but i can still say Paul is one of the most handsome people ever to live, while still keeping my own masculinity, Beatles forever!!

  • @Floridaboy7777 The fact that hes one of Britains Richest, and a Ex-Beatles helps..............alot

  • @Floridaboy7777 sure you're not!! keep telling yourself that maybe you'll believe it.

  • @Floridaboy7777 - I totally agree (Im a girl) I could stare at him for hours & hours, dunno what it is, besides the obvious, there is some magic around The Beatles but Paul hd me at hello on Sullivan till now. He's beautiful..

  • those who contributed to that 19 dislikes obviously have no taste in GOOD, REAL MUSIC

  • Happiness!

  • WOW Thought this was Beatles Video and not a poltical correctness Video.... BEATLES RULE!!!!

  • HA! They made Ringo sing the song talking 'bout boys are bundles of joy. LOL

  • @ghostfacedragon Before The Beatles, Ringo was the drummer for Rory Storm and The Hurricanes. Before The Beatles, they were the biggest band in Liverpool. Ringo had "Starr time" in which he sang solo songs, including Boys. :)

  • russian woman seeks....... subscribe if u like what u see

  • @worldcitizenforever HAHAHA what a pathetic mystery people you come from hahahahahahaha it must be horrible waking up every morning and knowing that noone likes you hahahahahahahahahaha Besa mi culo, Baboso...hahahahahaha better MY Spanish than your pathetic, worthless, ingles... La concha de tu madre hahahahahahahaha (5-0) HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA Tu madre es una puta (6-0) how about some Japanese? ahou, thats a word for your father hahahahahahahaha (7-0) better my japanese than your english..

  • @worldcitizenforever As I said, it's very like a european to judge america for actually making a name for itself lol, like in world war 1 and 2 whilst we were fighting against kaiser wilhelm and hitler where were your people? probably judging eveyone else for fighting lol...by the way the score is me 2 you cero, nada, nicht (dont expect you to understand with your third world middle school education lol even your prince(felipe) tried to date american women before they rejected him lol (3-0)

  • To the people arguing in here, please grow up.

    Enjoy the music and take the arguments and generalizations somewhere else.

    It feels like you're disrespecting The Beatles, well to me.

    Anyways, amazing video!

  • i like how they enjoy playing and singing

  • @worldcitizenforever HAHAHAHAHA i feel bad for you...mi pene es muy duro y largo, ti es muy pequeno lol who cares if i speak spanish lol......hahahahahahahaha

  • @worldcitizenforever haha what a european response...arrogant, with poor spelling and grammer to boot...(just like your justin bieber friend that you keep mentioning) the reason you can't comprehend who he is, because your stupid lol... for example...you used the same insult that i did...once again an example of your pathetic countrymen copying what others do and claiming that you made it up lol

  • @chillindog222 LOSERRRRRRRRRRRHAHAHAHAHAHAHAR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR look!!!! did you see?!?!?!? I copied you...apparently thats how you spanish fools work lol

    it's a shame too...you make your people look bad...just because you can't seem to pass by videos that you don't want to watch....and since you need attention you cant help but to comment... i know your type and no one likes you...not your kinsmen, countrymen or even us Cool, Trendy, and Fashionable Americans...

  • @chillindog222 P.S. I think we'd all like to know, what bands do you enjoy listening too??? answer that if you have the balls...wait, nope, scratch that...Jethro Tull? really?!?!?!? a band that preformed at the first ever metal awards? an band that included Tony Iomi from black sabbath at one point?!?!? one of the biggest posers of all time in music?!?!? theres a reason nobody likes them...THEY SUCK...the only good song that they wrote was "to cry you a song"

  • @chillindog222 which brings us to the Mahavishnu Orchestra...one of the greatest bands of all time...my girlfriends father was their band manager until their origional breakup in 1976 and i've had the wonderful pleasure of meeting jan hammer and billy cobham...and i can tell you this...they would spit in your face if they saw the lack of appreciation you have for good music..and the founding fathers thereof...

  • @chillindog222 So go ahead and take your LSD and your Psychadelic Mushrooms and keep pretending that your the spokesman for Prog Rock and Psychadelic Rock, My God Man...one day you will realize, that being ignorant and Jaded because your ancestors were to dumb to stay strong when things got rough, won't get you anywhere...So, go ahead and respond if you wan't. I'm done. i've wasted too much of my Valuable American time on you already...some "world" citizen...you are no diplomat...God Bless

  • @worldcitizenforever i dont have a channel fool, lol wow ur dumb...just like your foolish faggot U2 Brothers , and ur gays faggot Oasis friends and ur loser fool retard justin bieber friends...HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA YOU LOSE AGAIN IGNORANT CITIZEN FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!
