The Beatles-Liverpool 12-7-63 Part 1/3

[tealgreentele]

Great stuff. Very raw , no crazy effects. (IE reverb)

[pgr5050]

I was there, it was at the Empire Theatre on Lime Street. I can hear the music on this video - you could not hear a thing there with all the screaming.

[Brengor69]

sorry but it wasn't at the cavern , right?

Neither at the Cavanagh?

Where?

[elakdelos]

[georules0005]

I wish I had I had a time a time machine ---- I'll go to 1958, watch the Beatles concerts from 1959 to 1970 ---- I'm only 10 like I said before, I wish I had a time machine... Roll Over Beethoven!

[BeatleBangs1964]

Albie, you lucky person! The Beatles in their early days were so much fun to watch and listen to. George Harrison was so sexy and Paul could shake a mean moptop. Damn, they were so adorable! And talented! I love listening to and watching treats like this.

[StevenThaw]

The Fab Four!

[rosmia2]

Definitely George singing lead on Roll Over Beethoven. (He always did.)

[njriley55]

Wonder if Paul ever dreamed he'd still be singing I Saw Her Standing There over 47 years later?!!

[frog33ww]

You people are funny- did these guys play anywhere else/.

[fowlergod09]

dr winston you r talking shit roll over beethoven was johns u r talkin pure bollocks

[njriley55]

@fowlergod09 What? Roll Over Beethoven has always been sung by George! This is definitely George.

[Virpatrick]

@njriley55 Also Chuck Berry ♪...hey..kidding!♪

[paulftw4life]

:( i saw her standing there was a let down in this video. i like the one in washington where there screaming and ringos break the drums

[DrWinstonO]

Very interesting footage...the first version of Roll Over Beethoven that comes to my ears with Mr Lennon as a lead singer ....read many times that JL used to sing this song during the early days...

[jkfan2005]

@DrWinstonO That's George singing... just a little more raspy than usual, so he sounds a lot like John. It's easier to distinguish that it's George speaking before the song, than it is to tell who's singing.

[DrWinstonO]

@jkfan2005 After listening to it again carefully...I guess you are right

[LFC878787]

scousersssssssssssss rule

[MusicAndAmbientGay]

hearing those girl screams... CONFIRMED, THE BEATLES ARE THE GRANDFATHERS OF THE JONAS BROTHERS, AND DON'T SAY ISN'T IT

[BeatlesMusicRocks]

@MusicAndAmbientGay umm Jonas Brothers = Real Brothers. Beatles arnt brothers...

[slickmon]

this band should be signed to a major label. though they probably wont amount to shit

[MrJohndl]

@slickmon ha ha i think they passed the audition though lol.

[vance640]

fans go crazy on "i saw her standing there" cause it was their favourite cavern number in those days, the one by which fans knew them instantly at the time ..even in Germany:) i wish i could have been there oh man:)

[wojiaokatya]

this version of roll over is even faster than usual - electrifyinggggg

[OropherThranduil]

@wojiaokatya

if you like this version listen to the star club tapes, george's on speed there.

[simao9tubeyou]

One of George Harrison best performances, he sounds so passionate!

[FOSEEBOY]

Nope..they never played anywhere else......

[tattoofthesun]

SOUNDS LIKE A FUCKIN ROLLER COASTER IN THERE HEAR THOSE GIRLS (maybe guys also, shit, i'd be screamin)

[wojiaokatya]

@tattoofthesun same here - at least until fainting and again immediately upon recovery

[peacemanken]

This is fucking awesome!!!!! Yeah I said Fuck! It never gets better than this:) TY

[fro164]

the sound person should have been fired...the vocals r way to bassy..yes i know its 1963 but still

[722erodz]

BEATLES FOREVER : ]

[Fellinijr]

Wow, listen to all those screaming fans. Now, they had some fans!!!!

[darthavenger11]

[livewarrior967]

[krilinrules]

@maldicientin no way seriously

[techhasnologictoday]

I love Ringo's drumming at the beginning.

[arthurvanfroh]

what a beginning for "from me to you"

[techhasnologictoday]

@arthurvanfroh Sure it is.

[sheelywheely1]

Yes, I saw them 4 days earlier in Portsmouth, it was part of the biggest tour in 1963 of the UK. There is footage of the Manchester show on here.

[sheelywheely1]

Yes, I saw them in Portsmouth 4 days earlier 3/12/63. Can't find any footage, but there is footage of the Manchester show on You Tube. 1963 was the biggest tour year for them in the UK.

Thanks for posting this video.

Please listen to my video response

@STUDIOCHINCHAN stand you for lumcheon

[STUDIOCHINCHAN]

@woodskier

Hi there, sorry but I don't understand what you mean with " Stand you for lumcheon"

[TheTimewaster12]

It's so sad that Tomorrow's the anniversery of John Lennon's Murder. R.I.P JOHN!!! WE LOVE AND MISS YOU VERY MUCH

[albiedog]

Wonderful stuff. I was there aged 12 and a half. Half a dozen rows from stage in school uniform - ha ha. George winked at me. The screams seemed louder back then as you couldn't hear a word they sang.

they were top of the bill. roy Orbison and gerry and pacemakers preceeded them.

They'd been there a few months earlier with Tommy Roe and Chris Montez.

[ligger2]

Great memory. Thanks for sharing it.

[floydalbin]

Fuck off Chelsea FC, you aint got no history, 5 european cups, and 18 leagues. Thats what we call history!

[cabbitshivers]

Holy.... what speed are they playing Roll Over Beethoven at? They're powering through it! That George isn't breathless is frankly amazing. Wow. They were right when they said they played their live gigs a lot faster that on their LPs

[AlanDMoore]

If people are going to show the Beatles in concert, please show the concert and not just pictures with songs.

[burkey1878]

There is no footage you stupid fucker

[thepatient08]

Once upon time people recorded and traded bootleg concert tapes. Ignorance is death.

[RandomPlayIist]

@AlanDMoore

Perhaps there is no video of it, besides, it's all about them music. I appreciate the audio. Thanks for uploading.

[HJCarson]

That is a really interesting thought. There were records that were spoken instead of sung, but there was no concept in those days of "rap." Thanks!

Remember "A Boy Named Sue" by Johnny Cash?

BTW I love really raw, imperfect recordings like this, the polar opposite of the technical perfection on albums like Abbey Road, or Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band, which blew everyone's mind, to use a 60's phrase.

[woodskier]

were thy that good

[silverHofner]

it is the last Liverpool concert?

[HJCarson]

Did they play anywhere but Liverpool?

LOL. They are only the most influential artists in world history. As they progressed creatively they invented modern music single-handedly, including whatever current copy you listen to (excluding rap). It's all on a Beatle album somewhere. Every style and theme you could possibly name.

[freeloader420]

as much as i love and admire them, saying the beatles invented a wide variety of distinct musical genres isn't strictly true.

after all, they closely imitated american delta and blues musicians.

[HJCarson]

You're thinking of Led Zepellin, who got the concept of mixing acoustic and electric/ light and heavy/ guitars from the Beatles.

Page copied material directly from artists such as Memphis Minnie ("When the Levee Breaks.)

Unfortunately, John Baldwin ("John Paul Jones") who believed himself a funk musician, copied people like James Brown, for disasters like "The Crunge."

The early Beatles just did a few Smokey Robinson and Eisley Brothers tunes when out of material.

[wanchorman]

The rolling stones were one of the first bands to use electric and acoustic guitars together, infact if you listen to 'Satisfaction' which was one of their earlier tracks when they were easing off the bluesy feeling into the more rock and rolly feeling, you'll here it done very suttely.

[dougalmac54]

I'd say their biggest influences were Buddy Holly, Carl Perkins, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis, and black girl R& B groups like the Marvelettes and the Shirelles. R&B was their real love.

[dougalmac54]

I don't think he was saying the Beatles INVENTED a wide variety of musical styles, I think he was saying they played a wide variety of styles of music on many of their albums, which is true. The Beatles stretched the boundaries of popular music more than any other artist, before or since, hands down.

[lapislazuli7]

@freeloader420 Yes, that is correct, of course.

You can name Blind Lemon Pye and Ruttling Orange Peel...

[ToolsnFire]

@HJCarson, Taxman was a rap song

[adeykins]

ta for posting, where about was it in Liverpool? the Empire or Royal Court?

[1985MANAmericana]

Empire

[51Telecaster]

Did these guys play anywhere other than Liverpool?

[beatle608]

just a few other places.

[Dogheadj]

@beatle608 : They also played Hamburg, germany quite a bit.

[Rawego]

@beatle608 how sad. they don't sound half bad.

[wojiaokatya]

@Rawego true words, true words, me pal

[getajobgetalife]

@beatle608 I think they played in Hamburg right?

[syleriam]

@beatle608 I recomend you the Barry Miles's Book: The Beatles Day by Day, they have the complete list of the places they played in England some of that stories are really cool is one of the best beatle book with the Anthology and the Mark Levinson books...Sorry my english is not too good.

[dougalmac54]

Yeah, they did a concert up your nose last week. Got any tickets left?

[spodomaticfreeze]

once they left liverpool they hardly came back xD (i's a scouser)

[Galericulus]

@51Telecaster. They played more places than anyone else. I have an intinerary of their gigs, and in one year they played more than 300 in the UK alone (1963, if I remember rightly). Many of them were in Odeon cinemas, which were huge single film-showing venues, long before they were divided into multiplexes. In 1963 they were probably the largest venues in most towns.

[dubbly1]

@51Telecaster The whole world

[PieceofMindmusic]

@51Telecaster they were big in hamburg at this time too i beleive.

[ladydog876]

@51Telecaster Yess, they did they played all over the US and in other places in like Europe and Japan Britan and all over the UK too

[steffenLarsen54]

@51Telecaster

should I know them??

[wojiaokatya]

@steffenLarsen54 naa - they are a completely obscure ensemble XD

[steffenLarsen54]

@wojiaokatya ah good ...I would hate to think the youngsters nowadays are leaving me behind. I hear a lot about MTV and look at it now and then to be informed but I don't think I've seen this combo there.

[wojiaokatya]

@steffenLarsen54 a youngster I sure am :) and been for a while

[KimisaryTheGod]

@51Telecaster um lets see england, us, ed Sullivan show, japan.... ect

[roaringwaterbay]

@51Telecaster Germany

[khakigq2]

@51Telecaster yes..they played in germany, shea stadium (new york), japan, india...

[Dogheadj]

@51Telecaster Hamburg, Germany, quite a bit.

[jimi55555]

Wow....John n George are acoustic and Ringos bass drum has an odd "Beatles" on it....cool

[TomNMo99]

what show/or tv show is that on??

[wojiaokatya]

@jimi55555 yeah the little bee logo which the french apparently liked most ;-}

[hyliandany]

Simply the best!!!

5/5

[samexdanger]

The Beatles ROCK!!

[722erodz]

cool beat by Ringo.

[jericho360]

George just goes right through "Roll Over Beethoven", and it still sounds G R E A T!

[tubesteakbooky]

anyone who puts down this band is an asshat!

[12starwarsfanatic]

@tubesteakbooky yeah the beatles are awesome!

[jajud]

liverpudiians rulee im a liiverpudlian haha

[longlivethesixties]

lucky!! i wanna be a liverpudlian! <3

[HelterSkelter2198]

Yep wish I was in the 60's too man..

[longlivethesixties]

dont we all wish we were from the 60s?

[Cobainication]

I sure do. ;]

[thebeatles745]

i love these songs!!!!<3

haha i would lie if i said that i hate one of the beatles songs XP

sometimes i wish that i was in the 60 instead :D

btw PAUL MCCARTNEY IS SOOO HOT!!!

[crocrock1]

Four moptops made of wax.

[jsmyers24151]

Well, whoever came up with the big "B" drop T logo was a genius, and the design was pure genius. It was at that moment that the "Beatles" brand was solidified. Never again will there ever be....

[jegerfrank]

Wow,, listen to how intense George Harrison sings "Roll over Beethoven"..

[Ottoboy110]

Ringo traded his brown Premier set for the 20inch Black Oyster Pearl Ludwig set in late April '63 at Drum City. He got his 2nd 20" set at Manny's in Manhattan NYC for the ED Sullivan shows. It was THAT set that Ludwig saw. Ludwig later gave Ringo 2 22" Black Oyster Pearl sets and a 5 piece 22" set seen in the "Let It Be" film.

[scarletspidey5]

Wow, I thought george bought ringo the hollywood set ( used in let it be)

[bauersnarky]

@scarletspidey5 yeah it was george. he (as you probably know) wanted the group to look more stripped down and acoustic, to make the instruments 'breathe' more

[scarletspidey5]

yeah thats what i read, i thought that comment was wrong.

[IbraheemalZawahiri]

Wow, this was sung on my very birthday!

[urkingod]

PERFECT FOREVER~!!!!!!!!!!

[JulianLennon1]

M A G I C!

[jkfan2005]

This is example of coming out of the instrumental middle of I Saw Her Standing There with "We danced through the night" instead of repeating "Well my heart went boom when I crossed that room"...

[lenmacharstar]

The photo with the heart shapes is The Beatles miming "Please Please Me" on "Thank Your Lucky Stars" TV Show I think

[kevinfasnacht]

They sound like they are really enjoying themselves and having a good time, especially George!

[lenmacharstar]

LIVERPOOL EMPIRE CIRCA 63

[beatle608]

That's right, I just looked it up in one of my many Beatle books.

[liverpoolishgirl]

Take a look at Ringo's drum kit - it has the first Beatles logo with the antennae on the "B" that pre-dated the one that became the icon just a little bit later. For some reason, this design was always the most popular one in France...

Thanks for putting this up! Do you have a date or a venue for it?

[iluvjpm]

Yeah and I'm not sure but by the time they did this Liverpool concert they had the new logo. That "bug" logo is from late '62-early '63, no?

[beatle608]

December 7, 1963 but I don't know what venue.

[crisspencer1959]

December 7 1963 they played the Empire theater in th afternoon...part was recorded for the BBC and played later that night on TV called "its the Beatles", they also recorded an edition of Jukebox jury... later that evening they played the Odeon in Liverpool... a busy day eh!

[deftonesfan192]

yer not far to go for them though from The Empire Theater The Odeon is literally next to it actually the odeon has just closed down :( moved to the new Liverpool ! fancy stuff eh

[WarmBelowTheStorm]

@beatle608 Liverpool's Empire Theatre.

[stan30068]

The antenna logo was a sash stretched across the drumhead. Later, the more familiar dropped "t" logo was painted on the drumhead in a deal negotiated between Brian Epstein and the Ludwig company.

[Renshen1957]

Well, the shop that did the trade on Ringo's old drums/sold the new drums, designed the dropped and had a local chap painted the first drum head. Ludwig wasn't really involved in the design.

[stan30068]

Beatleology magazine did an exhaustive history of this question in 2001. Drum City's manager Ivan Arbiter (representing Ludwig) hired a sign painter named Eddie Stokes to paint the drop T design approved by Eptein and Starr on the kit Starr traded for his Premier kit on or about April 1963. Arbiter and Stokes are together credited with the design.

[Ottoboy110]

You are correct. Eddie Stokes at Drum City did the drop T design. Ludwig was not aware that Ringo was playing their drums until The Beatles were seen on the Ed Sullivan show 9 Feb'64. Pres. of Ludwig William Lugwig Jr even witnessed the broadcast. "Firt time I ever saw my name on TV" he said.<--- From book "Beatle Gear" by Andy Babiuk. Ludwig later over that years gave Ringo 4 complete sets plus a gold plated snare. Stokes did ALL the heads for them but the last one which was orange.

[giles422]

that is a very rare photo- you must have a great collection, thanks for sharing!

[beatle608]

Thank You!!

[Migz13]

Thank you for this

[beatle608]

You bet!

[frenchytouch]

yeah taht's great!!! you're the bootleg genius!all my life i've been wainting for listening to theese tapes.

[genealogyy]

You do a great work on the beatles's story with these docs! the fans appreciate it... eric
