Come on people. It's fake. *GASP!* Nice AfterEffects though.

How many YT dorks have you seen do Star Wars light saber stuff similar to this? Difference is, this is the Beatles.

Clip is 8 seconds long and very dark. Could've been anywhere on the '66 tour, as well as the audio. News flash, girls screamed at EVERY Beatle show, audio could've been from any other show.

This footage is Really from the Evening Show Memphis, TN August 19, 1966 ... the audio is sourced from recently released audience reel to reel tapes that came out on the MC Label in Japan .... YES THE VIDEO IS FAKE .... it was fun little project for those to see what it might have looked like

enjoy mmr

SO if anyone has film and/or video from the August 19, 1966 Memphis, Tn Afternoon Show.... please contact MM Recording Inc.....

PS.... the audio used in the reaction is sourced from the only existing Audience reel to reel tape of the show..... this is the actually bomb sound

Well.... as of right now.... there is no film or video that exist from the Afternoon Concert so .... who knows what the beatles reaction would have been..

The footage in the MMR's reaction is from the widely circulating 8mm Color fan shot film from the Eveing Concert.......

...and people wonder why they stopped touring. You think they needed that crap??

How in the hell does throwing a cherry bomb at Harrison's feet impress a teenage girl? If the boys from Liverpool had any reservations about no longer touring, this idiot ended it. Thank the moron for all of us!

You can hear some girl yelling "Get them off the stage!" in a nice, southern accent.

Jeez!! I know that lots if people were doing this because of what John said, but what if the cherry bomb had hit one of the beatles!!!

[popmalevoo]

[VioletDecapod]

that man was my dad, just so you know

Neil,

You could barely hear the guys with all the stupid screaming chicks there, lol. Plus the sound system they used at the time was pretty crude. They basically ran their amps through the Mid South Coliseum's PA system. As I said crude!

[dawg821]

deadboyrunning,

The truth is that this stupid teenager was trying to impress his date. He threw the cherrybomb at George's feet. He got in a ton of trouble. Was arrested and, from what I understand, was extremely sorry to have done this. My friend Frank happens to know the guy. Just a stupid teenage prank.

First off, I hate you for having seen The Beatles. Haha.

Secondly, I actually have heard that from many many many people. Everyone always says that it was completely inaudible. I met someone who went to Shea Stadium and said it was impossible to hear and the first time they ever "heard" the concert they attended was when the video was released for purchase.  That's just crazy.

ah, the beatles did a lot of firsts. first pyrotechnics!! albeit not being planned.
