  • "for those of you in the cheaper seats clap you hands, and the rest of you rattle you'r jewlery." Now would you say that to the queen of england!!

  • The Royal Variety people are much politer than the regular fans, waiting till the Beatles are done to applaud and all that.

  • @beatleboy903he wasn't that the queenmother that smiled and waved when lennon made the "rattle your jewelry" comment?

  • I saw this live in 1963 and thought they seemed very nervous. It was such a stuffy occasion and I think they were surprised how well they won over the flunkies.  After this, the Royal Variety Performance became less formal and poncy.

  • looks like John was very nervious before saying that line... he was brave to say that in that time

  • lOVE HM THE QUEEN!

  • Well, it proves one thing and that is how so much younger we all were in 1963 (I was 16 and a half when this went out on television and I'm 64 and a half now). We thought The Beatles were totally fabulous and when they broke onto the pop scene like a huge tornado, there'd never been anything like them before...ever. They all had talent with a capital "T" and we'll never see their like again. There's nothing remotely like them today, that's for sure!

  • @cluciano63 Now when older people are there, I tie them into their seats, and force-feed them Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" at 300 watts. That rings their bells for sure.

  • If I were a singer, I'd rather my fans singing along me too loud than polite people in silence. =/

  • @zidane1s Yeah, good cop, bad cop, I get it!

  • Yay, the Queen doing... thumbs up? Hehe 

  • Well people - by watching this video you are looking at one of my first memories - it was a big deal in my house ...and I remember - despite being 5 years of age - everyone was around the TV waiting for the show to finish and the Beatles to come on. I banged my little tin drum all the way thru!! Yes it was a bit theatrical, that's the way it was then - it was of its time. BTW is the Prince of Wales Theatre the same as the Palladium? I still dont get the "Sophie Tucker" joke - can anyone explain?
