Beatles Bournemouth 1963 LIVE footage RARE!

[lakefloor]

I'm not sure about the term "correct audio." It's nice to see that sufficient audio was used to make it an enjoyable experience. However, most are familiar and readily available audio recordings from the Washington DC concert and the Hollywood Bowl, to name a few.

[moviemagg]

Some of this Audio is from different concerts from 1964 at different locations. The first few seconds is from their Washington DC concert in Feb. 1964, that's for sure!

[declan32001]

Sweet. They had such amazing energy in '63. By '64 they were really grinding - their schedule was horrendous.

[fairyfellermaster]

@declan32001 yeah it was. I heard paul say something like they would tour 360 days out the year. That's crazy by today's standards or any generation's for that matter.

[MrEarthJR]

What a song name ?

[feokffoeapf]

@MrEarthJR from me to you

[feokffoeapf]

@MrEarthJR and, all my loving, you really got a hold on me, roll over beethoven, she loves you

[TremorLady666]

My dad had the best of luck to see these live. He said there were girls passing out in the audiance where they were so excited and overwhelemed.

If you say George Harrison, Paul McCartney, John Lennon or Ringo Starr to a kid now, they're have the ultimate confusion. I was born in the wrong era.

[lovelydiva06]

people acted like uncivilized idiots when it came to the beatles, lol but the beatles were worth acting that way for justin bieber, not so much, he's an highly overrated little twat, tell me one song people will remember by him 10 years from besides that baby, baby, baby crap, which i wanna blow my brains out anytime i hear it

[drummerboy1372]

they aren't screaming for justin bieber they are baying for his blood the little shit upstart

[mozartfx1]

Da chicks can't hold da smoke, dat's what it is.

[1967PONTIACGTO]

John's rythmn guitar on All My Loving starting @ 1:54 is incredible

[yerblues1968]

CBS News bureau London – at the suggestion of Beatles’ manager Brian Epstein – sends a news crew to the British seaside resort of Bournemouth where they film a Beatles concert, thousands of screaming fans, and a few Beatles’ comments on camera. This film clip was later sent to New York. This was before The Beatles historic appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in February 1964. Thank you for sharing this rare video.

[bloodnokian]

My Mum was at this concert!

[Meatlock]

@bloodnokian That must be fucking nutty for her to be able to see it again after all these years? :)

[mekydro]

Big shame that the Winter Gardens have been demolished. I was only 6 when the Beatles visited, but I do remember it being talked about by my family

[HermanJ06]

Nice job, thanks for the video, looks like someone went to a lot of work matching different audio to the footage.. Sounds like "You Really Got A Hold on Me" was live. Didn't know they did that song live.. Nice. Great to have any footage, but I sure wish the Beatles had performed ALL of their songs in concert instead of the same ones all the time.. That's what happens when concerts were only 25 minutes..Shame

[jillzi7]

thank you so much for posting this..its just heaven on earth to be able to enjoy a REAL band...these guys will never go out of style...

[aponcapone]

This audio is from Washington!!!!!!!!!!!

[BeatleBangs1964]

You just can't get enough Beatles! I love it! George Harrison wrote his very first song in Bournemouth, the summer of 1963 "Don't Bother Me." George visited his only sister Louise who was living in Benton, IL that Sept. He was the first Beatle to cross the Atlantic. Bournemouth has a rich Beatles' history.

[ephidror]

who from the beatles was john lennon really attached to?

[ngt81]

This isn't Bournemouth.

This audio is from Washington, February 11th, 1964.

[guitarlad89]

if you pause it at 1:17, ringo looks like the elephant man lmao awesome vid!

[grizelda1949]

My goodness, this brought me out in goose pimples! I didn't manage to get tickets for this one at the Winter Gardens but had seen them on Friday August 23 that year when they came to the Gaumont Theatre and saw them again in October 1964.I still have the ticket stubs! They were fantastic and it was an amazing time to be young.Thanks for showing us the video Katmak 21 : )

[MillingRadio]

@grizelda1949 hello, if you did indeed see the beatles, maybe you would like to get in touch and share some memories for a radio documentary?

What exact gigs did you go to?

You can contact me on here or email me at milling.radio@hotmail.co.uk

[MillingRadio]

Hello all - I'm collecting stories for a radio programme, and I'm on the look out for anyone who attended the above Beatles gig, or have a relative who did or know anyone at all who did. I'm looking for contributors to share their memories of the concert.

If you think you can help, contact me on here or email me at milling.radio@hotmail.co.uk

Thanks.

[Kyrienjwalker]

John was influenced by early Rock n roll..Elvis first then Chuck Berry,Little Richard..Beatles went on to influence thousands of bands

[tryst0]

is that 60s Radio 1 DJ Tony Blackbum at 2.12? .....bloody 'ell!

[BeatleBangs1964]

George wrote his very first song in Bournemouth. He wrote "Don't Bother Me" the summer of 1963 while convalescing there.

Good point, Sun. Nobody's hurting anybody or doing anything dangerous. The Beatles brought out the best in people. After all, they will always be the World's Best Band!

[SCORPIONS4EVERR]

aaahhhm actually i dont think its the best band in the world maybe it was that time but now its not the best...you are telling me that beatles are the king of rock haahaha very funny. if beatles are kings then what should scorpions been or acdc ? gods??? pfffffffff i hate them!!!!!!!!

[tnc07232008]

@SCORPIONS4EVERR hey ding dong.........if it were not for the Beatles......there would be no scorpions or ac/dc........and if you hate them so much.....wtf are you doing here?

[SCORPIONS4EVERR]

@tnc07232008 hi dang dong you are wrong ..then if there was not elvis preslay there would be not beatles right??

[tiranchula]

@SCORPIONS4EVERR You must be curious, cause you're watching, right??? Now, like the nice tnc07232008 sez, if it wasn't for the Fabs there would have not been AC/DC or the Scorps... So quit wasting your time, and watch something else. And show the Fabs some respect!

[SCORPIONS4EVERR]

@tiranchula i am showing respect...and what do you mean fabs?

[tiranchula]

@SCORPIONS4EVERR FAB FOUR???? HELLO! O.K.... respect? If you say so!

[SCORPIONS4EVERR]

ahhh yeah i understood now...thank you.

[paulftw4life]

1:13 i can see up ur nose johnny :D

[DoctorLawyerWhatever]

Over 1.3 BILLION records sold, and still rising. Always rising.

[roaringwaterbay]

what is the name of the boots were wearing around this time?

[DoctorLawyerWhatever]

@roaringwaterbay Cuban heel boots.

[MattNIcholsBeatle]

sounds like you've really got a hold on me was an overdub from the record!

[pienivla]

Teenagers then had directions from their parents and schoolmasters. Behave, or else. It worked. Shame it still doesn't.. Parents don't care.

[sgtpeppesrband]

ORSM

[Chancelander]

This theater kind of intrigues me. I hadn't realized the Beatles played there, but I know another band of comparable power and artistry had, the great Joy Division. If walls could talk, some of the amazing things these old theaters have seen. Anyway, I worked with a girl who'd seen the Beatles in the winter of '63 (at the Royal Variety Performance, no less!), I envied the living hell out of her. "Beatles Forever," it ain't just a slogan, kids!

[amberjosie]

To be young and to have experienced the Beatles years, as I did, is an incomparable memory. It's great to have been in the '60s and to be in the 60s now!

[brrygilbertyahoo]

i saw them the next month on that tour ,, east ham granada i still have the programme

[dougalmac54]

@brrygilbertyahoo I would give anything to have seen them back then-you're truly lucky, my friend.

[brrygilbertyahoo]

i saw them the next month on that tour ,, east ham granada

[frendo21]

1960s moshpit

[DayEnder616]

Can you imagine these are your parents. when they were young and sexy. yeah right.

[jjcervantes2]

And now we have damm people yelling and screaming for Justin Bieber :(

[dougalmac54]

@jjcervantes2 The reaction The Beatles got in the winter of '64 made Justin Bieber look like nothing. Unless you were there, you have no idea how profound the reaction to The Beatles really was. And this was in the days when there was no MTV, computers, cell phones, and TV went off @ 10 pm EVERY mnight and was in black and white. Most people listened to radio to get their music. No I-Tunes, no downloads, just limited media. And The Beatles were HUGE!

[jimstardust]

@jjcervantes2 Don't despair,Luv. True genius, talent and charisma can create the same reaction in people that manufactured hype does. Ain't nothin' new. Nazis, Joseph Macarthy, Brittney Spears and Rush Limbaugh all cashed their checks on that same principle...The Ignorant can be Told and Sold ANYTHING.Pity the poor chaps and birds that can't tell the difference.

[edyoung44]

@jjcervantes2 wtf has the world come to.

[Bubishka88]

I would give all to see them together)))

[RayRidgeBand]

you went to "SEE" the Beatles in concert back then

[VideoByPatrick]

WOW ! That was indeed a pleasure to watch...

[MsMadiMonster]

oh, and george's voice is AMAZING on All My Loving<3

i love that shot of george and paul singing "You've really got a hold on me"

OMFG, when george came on the screen singing "Roll Over Beethoven", I like, freaked out. I LOVE HIMMMM<333

oh goodness, what i would have done to go to that concert. or, well, any concert, really. i would have given my left arm for the beatles<3

[jntdavis97]

@MsMadiMonster paul not george

[MsMadiMonster]

@jntdavis97 George is backup to Paul when they sing All My Loving live(:

[MsMadiMonster]

lmao at 1:06--that one girl is having orgasms over the beatles, and the girl on the right is just like, "Yeah, they're good." -_-

i have to say, i think 1963 was George's best-looking year. he is just so ADORABLE!! 1:49-1:51<33 2:00-2:03, also<3

those girls are so crazy! but, no doubt, if i was there, i would've been doing the same thing.

Paul is so friggin cute, as always<33

[Mikelan082]

It used to irk me when the media people use to compare the beatles to the boybands in the 90's.The bealtes had just as many guy fans as girl fans.The Bealtes were multi-instrumentalist.The boybands did not play their own music.The only things the beatles had in common with the boybands was the screaming girls.

[077541459]

I work with a woman who worked at the Winter Gardens back in the sixties & remembers this concert very well. Apparently many of the seats had to be cleaned afterwards due to the very excitable fans who were sat in them. My father in law was a copper at that gig & saved George Harrison from a bunch of nutty girls. They went away with just a thick clump of his hair. The father in law & a few of his fellow officers ended up having tea & sandwiches with them at their hotel.

[NekoFever2]

My dad was at this concert. I'll forever be jealous.

[digdogdennis]

Unless you lived it...you really dont know what Beatlemania was like.I'm thankful I got to be around to see it all

[Hgman13]

simply inspiring look how everybody went crazy for them, all the boys and girls that must have been a thrill just to watch them and a thrill for the Beatles too.

THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sejrec56]

Although, again cut up clips, but nice attempt to sync up video with audio !!

It gives you the feel of really watching video.

[BeatleBangs1964]

George Harrison was just so damn fine it wasn't funny! This, two months to the day George Harrison arrived in America where his sister Lou had emigrated. And it was in Bournemouth where the wavy haired wonder wrote his very first song, "Don't Bother Me." George. He was just so damn fine!

[auzzieb]

I was born and live in Bournemouth and it's great to see some footage like this!

[maxpowers518]

The footage of this concert aired on CBS the morning JFK was assassinated.

[steve371970]

someone correct me if im wrong, but i've never heard "You Really Got A Hold On Me" in any of their 1963 live shows before??

[dougalmac54]

Why so many "jumps" in the video/film? It would be nice if you had complete performances of the songs, if they're available. I would have given anything to be at one of these shows to see them during this time.

[gallinera]

Excellent footage! And audio! Great!

[nadokid1]

the "from me to you" is from washington!

[poofacio]

You've got British cops in Washington have you??

I was there (1.52, between the two girls>) I was in Bournemouth.

[11xxLilyxx11]

really? cool

[poofacio]

It was an experience but I couldn't hear a thing! You can see by the look on my face in the clip!

[tripleJ1955]

sunsungoaway:the Beatles never had suits and instruments like that in 1963 anyway.

sunsun has spent too much time in the sunsun. John has his refinished in black 58 Rickenbacker 325 Capri, George is playing his Gretsch Duo Jet, Paul has his Hoffner V Bass and Ringo's pounding his Ludwig's, all of which were being played in 1963 and even before that. Just when do you think the Beatles started playing these guitars anyway sunsun?

[NonStopRocker]

I dont get it..in one line you say they never had suits and instruments like that in 63...and in the next paragraph you state they played all those instruments in 63 and before...which is it?

[devondirtbike]

listen at 1:07-1:13 you can george hittin the notes that makes george so amazing. and he has a tiny bit of chet atkins style in his blood it seems..

[staypress]

Is That Tony Blackburn at 2.15

[rogiet3]

@staypress looks like it could be

[sunsungoaway]

Notice how even though the kids are screaming and crying, no one is hurting anyone and they're all wearing dresses or shirts or even jackets. No one is flashing the stage, acting slutty or punching, stabbing or shooting anyone.

A more innocent time, indeed!

[lordpoee]

@sunsungoaway and just think this music paved the way for such liberation :)

[HarpoSpoke]

@kenfig Ironic. Beatles fans complaining that the world has changed too much? You guys do realize that the Beatles, along with Elvis, were the primary reason the world changed, right?

Do you not remember your parents voicing the same complaints when Elvis and the Beatles were changing things?

[HarpoSpoke]

@kenfig Well naturally a Beatles fan is going to think "everything changed for the better"....you'll get the same response from someone who came of age in the 80s.....and a kid today.

But the parents at the time didn't think so....just like parents today (you?) don't think so.

Nothing changes....everyone has good ole days syndrome.

[HarpoSpoke]

@kenfig NO ONE advocates violence or disrespect. And though YOUR parents loved the Beatles...most parents didn't. The haircuts were seen in a negative light. It wasn't long before they were seen as endorsing drug use and of course they eventually questioned religion ("Imagine there's no heaven"). A LOT of people considered that to be a negative effect on society.

There is a reason so many consider the 50s as "the good old days"...the Beatles were a part of the change, credit for good/bad.

[HarpoSpoke]

@kenfig I guess you can't see how you look here. "Your music" had a great impact on the world...but by incredible odds...no negative impact. You now think the world has gone downhill...but It was only AFTER your favorite era that suddenly negative changes began to occur.

You're even trying to convince yourself that everyone's parents were out there buying Beatles albums.

Same old story. Everyone has a warped view of their coming-of-age era.

[HarpoSpoke]

@kenfig EVERYTHING has an effect. Since the Beatles were so incredibly huge, they had a bigger effect on where we are today than other groups. We didn't suddenly make a u-turn after the Beatles to arrive at today. They and Elvis were the biggest reasons for the cultural changes that gave us what we now have.

[HarpoSpoke]

@kenfig But if I tried to say the Beatles had a minimal impact on the world in any way, you wouldn't buy that I'll bet. ;)

Somehow I think you want to think the Beatles had a massive impact...much more than the Stones or the Pistols....but just nothing negative....right?

btw, I don't believe anyone said anything about "ALL the negative things"....just that the Beatles were ONE of driving forces in the culture change.

[HarpoSpoke]

@kenfig Oh I know lots of people want to believe the Beatles had a massive impact on the world...but by an incredible twist of fate...no negative impact at all from that.

Apparently we are to believe that the Beatles had a huge positive impact, then immediately after they broke up the world took a big u-turn in the opposite direction.

But...what else could a Beatles fan believe?

[HarpoSpoke]

@kenfig That's a pretty big line in a pretty big song. The song was clearly meant to convey his political/philosophical beliefs (at the time).

Atheists LOVE John Lennon for that one. (I'm actually an atheist myself...but prefer McCartney by a large margin)

[gnarrwhale]

@sunsungoaway yeah whats more innocent than the Beatles getting gonorrhea in Hamburg in the early 60's from running through more chicks than you will in your whole life..

better times indeed!

[coyotesong]

@sunsungoaway to be sure...to be sure....it was a million years ago, wasn't it?

[moonwatcher1967]

@sunsungoaway

yeah, shit innit

[scarface12347]

@sunsungoaway you can thank the 70s and drugs for that

[TheDorr71]

@sunsungoaway I'm thankful to have experienced the most sensational group around! The British Invasion and Motown-musical magic. Today's music has NO soul.

[kimjenkins123]

@sunsungoaway ya but it got crazier in america

[ngt81]

Great footage, but the audio is from the Washington Colosseum concert in February, 1964.

[johnhylton]

"never had suits and instruments like that in 1963" what a goon! of course they did..........I was there! Were you......obviously not!

[detroitchuckie]

Its kinda funny how when they show them from the back, the audience is just sitting there doing nothing, but then all of a sudden, you pan the crowd...and everyone is screaming and such. This is a fake, put together tape. the Beatles never had suits and instruments like that in 1963 anyway.

[Vox91]

The only thing that's "fake" is your knowledge of the Beatles.

[GTM57]

lol....can you imagine what it must have been like back then to be one of them? Having people screaming at you each and every day! Pulling at you,trying to rip out chunks out of your hair or clothes for souveniers, having no privacy what so ever.....but on the flip side you can have or almost do anything you wanted...well almost ....lol

[1olrocker]

That's primarily why they quit touring in '66. They got fed up with people going to their concerts just to "see" them and scream like crazy, instead of actually listening to them.... They took incredible care to craft their songs, record their records, and play tight live, and when the screaming and craziness started to take hold, they said screw it. They went into the studio, submerged themselves in song writing and recording, and came up with Sgt. Pepper.

[jeffpolara]

Just think that the "earth like" planet that they just discovered that is 50 light years away are still 3 years away from receiving this TV transmission.

[jeffpolara]

Beatnicks I tell ya the end of civilization as we know it...

[jallendubya]

I was this popular until I started smoking crack. Seriously it's amazing how popular they were then and even in todays times. If it weren't for them a lot of bands may not exsist today. I was raised on these guys and they have an influence on the music I write.

[luke8250]

that was really well edited, captured the moment, thanks

[vbsurfa]

I remember when The Beatles first arrived in the USA and the hysteria was off the charts. Other US bands and singers had a growing female following, but The Beatles made them look like girl scout meetings. It was amazing to see.

[JP5466]

Oh well... the audio is from the US Washington concert in Feb 1964

[drshakahashi]

after beatles first tv appearance, my friend laughed and said, "they'll never make it"

[Pinkynose499]

well, they did!

[lapislazuli7]

True, "guitar bands are passé"...

[lgcrooks]

I was in boot camp with the Canadian military when the Beatles first appeared on Ed Sullivan. On my regular Sunday night phone call home, the first thing my Mom asked was "Did you see the Beatles on Ed Sullivan tonight?" Well, I had, but I was so tired I didn't pay a lot of attention. But soon became a huge fan!

[1985MANAmericana]

Audio problem:

The songs are from the Washington '64 concert, except "You Really Got a Hold on Me," which is taken from a Swedish radio performance available on Anthology 1.

[RockMen1992]

You're right. You're absolutely right.

[WisMiss101]

It's weird how many of the newsreels from back then focus on the crowd. Nobody guessed the Beatles would still be popular in the next century -- they were a "passing fad" so "the story" was the crazy behavior of the crowd. If only they'd known they'd have turned the cameras around.

[manbigus]

Popular in the next century? Nobody thought they'd be popular after a month. Hmm, guess many people were wrong.

[marmcmick]

WOW. Was never and will never be a rock and roll band with this much long lasting, far reaching impact of any generation.

[drutgat2]

Thanks for posting this.

Really nice to hear a live version of 'You Really Got A Hold On Me'

[MyJellyJunglein1967]

The Beatles were not Gods! But they sure fu--ing came prettey close! Just awesome!

[northisfrore]

they were God like.

[MyJellyJunglein1967]

The best Rock N Roll band that was, is and always will be. Trust me, "With The Beatles" we will never grow old!

[KidBlastofNewYork]

THE BEST ON EARTH

[owakie]

What is in these guys? Today we do not see any advertising campaign or any other pro-beatles stuff;).... and still young girls (a bit older ones too:) scream, cry and sigh at their homes. Isn't it the evidence they are ... (I can't find any suitable adjective....) woooooooooow :)

[LuluBeatles]

Waaaaaaa It's so amazing :) I love it ^^

*****

[KidBlastofNewYork]

THE BEST BAND EVER

[peterslip61]

The songs you hear, 1st one is from WashingtonDC 1964, and the last one, not sure where the others are from.

[lennonsbigfan]

All but You Really Got A Hold On Me are from D. C.

You Really Got A Hold On Me is from Stockholm

[beatleguy64]

Why does it keep switching songs?

[Vitotesta]

W....O.....W...! ! !  !

[gazuaman]

i really love this guys... smashing emotions!!!
