how cool is John at 7;04 with that little hop, knowing it would get those girls screaming..these guys were/are phenomenal..all of em were charming as hell, all of em were good looking, all of em could sing,..never be another like em ever..BEATLES ROCK ON FOREVER
quote: Shindig..."In recent years it's been revealed that the backing music and many of the vocals were pre-recorded. The music and vocal tracks were recorded a day or two before the episode was videotaped. To make sure that these "mimed" performances looked live, the performers rehearsed numerous times." from TVcom.
They dubbed back in those days because the sound quality was terrible and to be heard over the screams was hard for the Beatles.I watched this show a lot and enjoyed it although I did not see this segment. The Beatles were the biggest rock act....by far in those days. Biggest draw in the world actually. A big prize for Shindig.
This was directed by Jack Good, who also did Around The Beatles. What the fellows did for Around The Beatles was record it live, and then mime to the recording.on the telecast. This may have also been the case here. It was for sound quality more than anything, but it definitely ISN'T the Beatles For Sale LP version.
This is soo cool!! Paulll is rockin' Kansas City! And he's so cute singing along in I'm a Loser when John's singing. And George's smile when he's soloing is infectious. And Ringo's head swaying is so sweet. And John's foot flick at 7:08 - adorable! They all look really happy here. AMAZING TO WATCH!! :D
@babyinblack "Mostly" live, actually. They went back and dubbed in some higher quality backing vocals on Kansas City, and pre-recorded the track for "Boys".
they were the best and still are the best . They set the bar ,and no group has come close to it yet. Probably never will. All the planets were in align for these fab 4 , That's for sure. Will only happen once .Glad we were alive to see it ...
I watched this the night it aired in 1964. even then you knew they were the biggest thing to ever hit show biz and nothing agian would ever come close, and 47 years later still has'nt. what you have to understand if you were'nt around is that they affected everything their was, and nothing was unaffected by them.and it was all around the world at the same time. mass enlightenment of a whole planet. even elvis had'nt done that and he was as big as their was.
@TheBabyboomkidof53 Very well put. I was watching that night as well. As teenagers back then we knew the Beatles were huge. They were cultural phenoms. The closest you come today is Lady Ga Ga or Justin Bieber.
But neither one has had anything even close to the across the board impact that the Beatles had in 1964.
@owensclock I remember walking into school the morning after their appearence on ed sullivan, their was this glow all over everybody face and in their eyes and you knew something major had happened in your life and the life of all your friends. you were part of a mass conciousness that requiered no words of explenation even thoe it was all anyone could talk about. the current folks you name as todays equivalent are not equivalent at all. they have not affected the culture all over the world.
I watched shindig but didn't see this. my parents probably made me watch "death valley days" with ronald freakin' reagan. You really can't underestimate the power of mccartney's "little richard" voice in beatlemania. Course, he was ugly, too.
GAH I love George. When he does his solos, he's adorable. He doesn't try to look cool like all the guitarrists nowadays. Thanks a billion for finding and uploading.
My dad used to work as a screener for the movie studios. He brought this home one day in a 35mm film canister, tossed it on my brother's bed (along with the space walk and the Stones on Hollywood Palace) and said "I don't know who they are, but they'll never last."
for example the harmonies of george and john in kansas city. i'm pretty sure thats three or four voices harmony. unless john had a special skill of spliting his vocals, its dubbed.
the show was recorded in october and broadasted in january. thats a lot of time for fixing the recording
So what? John's harmonica appears to play itself at a couple points. I believe he actually PLAYS onstage, but there is some recorded harp being played too. As to George's guitar...he doesn't appear to be playing the solo on LOSER. But really, who cares? It's the Beatles FORTY FIVE YEARS AGO. BTW, I was sitting right there watching this show the night it aired. Saw them at the Cow Palace in 64...first US tour.
Funny how the harmonica kept playing when John appeared to stop blowing in it. Guess that means they were lip synched afterall...

The Beatles did not appear in the studio in America for Shindig. I believe this was some sort of satellite feed or taped appearance from the UK.
