Product Description
The Beatles' annual summer big event in the UK, held in 1964 and 1965 at a resort in northwest England, where they would unveil new songs! This title features live recordings of the early Beatles' performances in their home country. This high-quality recording captures special live performances from "BLACKPOOL NIGHT OUT," held twice in 1964 and 1965 at Blackpool, one of Britain's premier resort towns, as a special edition of the popular British TV program "BIG NIGHT OUT." Although it was a summer event due to the resort location, the August 1, 1965 performance took place shortly after the release of the single "Help!". Live takes of "I Feel Fine," "Ticket to Ride," and Ringo's rendition of "Act Naturally" are extremely rare. Furthermore, "Yesterday," performed five days before the album's release, features Paul playing acoustic guitar and singing along to an orchestral backing track?a performance also seen in the video version of "Anthology." This is also the first performance of the world-famous hit "Yesterday." John hands Paul a bouquet of flowers after he finishes singing, and when Paul accepts it, it's just the stems. Watching Paul's stunned expression, John teases him, saying, "Thanks, Ringo. That was wonderful," and glosses over the lingering feeling of "Yesterday." That audio is, of course, also recorded. The "BLACKPOOL NIGHT OUT" from July 19, 1964, about a year earlier, starts with the single "A Hard Day's Night," which had just been released, and includes passionate performances of "I'll Take Your Promise," "You Can't Do That," "If I Fell in Love," and "Long Tall Sally." Except for "You Can't Do That" and "Long Tall Sally," all the songs are new and being performed live for the first time. It's a thrilling live performance mixed with tension and excitement. Furthermore, valuable live performances from the same period are also included. During this period, the Beatles, who had rapidly risen to stardom, increased their overseas performances and expanded their global activities, but playing in their home country was still something special. It must have been an irreplaceable live stage for them as well. This is a passionate and precious live performance. Detailed Japanese liner notes included!
