For those curious, this film Includes footage of most of the concert, with four audio-only bonus tracks at the end.

This was not to chronicle the event like a documentary, but an attempt to provide a more impressionistic experience, and highlight enjoyment of the music footage by:

— Removing the intra-song dialogue
— Trying to raise low bass (but it was really too muddy there)
— Bringing up high treble for ease to hear vocals/guitars
— Zooming in slightly to help fill out the frame
— Using analog multi-band compressors to balance the sound.

Notes:

1. Including the intra-song dialogue didn’t make as much sense since a.) the song order had to be reversed.b.) it’s already available in other links. c.) IMO it highlights the intense emotional atmosphere — the attempted goal on this video.

2. A very slight plate reverb was used on the John songs were his vocal was distorting and too forward in the mix.

3. It’s a shame that on some of the Paul songs his mic is somewhat low. And John’s rhythm guitar sounds great, but mixed a little loud. (It’s nice to hear because it’s usually more buried, but on this there was no way to easily correct it. I tried to bring up the frequencies a tad where Paul’s voice was punching through, but there was a lot of overlap that made it hard.)

4. at 4:54 it appears as though the drummer is gone but that’s just a drum kit from the previous band. Ringo is on a platform.

5. On a few songs the audio/video synch is slightly a few frames off — because the original source was off. Most viewers don’t notice or care; but if you watch the 2016 Ron H7oward feature you’ll see it’s off there too. Apparently it was married together about 20 yrs ago from the video and soundboard recording. I just got really tired with working on this and didn’t notice. And also I never expected this video to be so popular since other versions have been around. Here’s one that’s closer to the original source footage:

Unfortunately YouTube doesn’t allow for re-posting w/o losing views/comments. Hopefully someday. The back-half of the video is great though. 😉

  2. Glad that wasn’t Mark Chapman who ran on stage at John. Would have changed our memories.

  3. 13:48 the reason why John is dead

  4. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the greatest band that has ever been, or ever WILL BE – The Beatles.

  5. 박운선 says:

    The Beatles are the best singers in the world. I am from S. Korea.

  6. Ron Coyle says:

    Amazing Concert! Sound pretty darned good for live in the 60's…

  7. Браво, браво, браво

  8. Is it just my imagination (running away from me)😀, or is that Regis Philbin introducing The Beatles? It sure sounds like him!

  9. R W says:

    Big sound, as it should be. Nice job.

  10. Poor janitors who had to clean those seats afterwards.

  11. imagine how many girls want them beside their beds that night lol

  12. 0nceler says:

    Festval Hall Melbourne??

  13. I think they passed the audition. 🙂

  14. jun bayoy says:

    My one and only favorite singing group…THE BEATLES…The greatest singing group of all time.

  15. I'm a guy but I'm not gonna lie I would be screaming like all these girls if I got to see the Beatles preform

  16. Lots of NRBQ happening here.

  17. Ringo just slamming the drums. Powerful. Like a punk drummer back there in this era. Hard hitter. Amazing.

  18. THESE GUYS HAD IT ALL..

  19. Fantastic – but where's Ringo at 4.55??

  20. DEDE says:

    Thx for sharing !

  21. Where is Ringo? Oh I found him after min 7

  22. Looks like the Hordern Pavillion at Sydney showgrounds. I lived in Sydney at the time but was only 11 so I couldn't go. They stayed at a hotel in Kings Cross.

  23. I was so little it remember it all

  24. TheEleatic says:

    I would say they delivered the energy, joy, and music.

  25. Terra Byte says:

    What a wonderfull show.that was the time when they are a band before the rivalry of lead vocal..

  26. John Lennon was my favourite Beatle with all respect to the great composer Paul McCartney

  27. TheTwicey says:

    13:50 who's that? John obviously knows him.

  28. TJ says:

    Good lord almighty 7:12 give the ladies a chances to get themselves adjusted and my panties as well..

  29. Beatlicious, for generation after generation

  30. felebor says:

    I'm literally feeling a shiver down my spine… There's nothing like them..!!

  31. There never was and propably never will be another group who impacted the world like these guys did.
    Not one,not any band will ever come close. They will always be the biggest thing in popular music.

  32. Музыка вне времени, музыка на все времена.

  33. I was probably there in the third row from the front in Adelaide Wayville hall , My friend queued for a few days to get the tickets , The Beatles werent going to come to Adelaide until Local disc Jockey Bob Francis got a petition for them to come which thousands signed . Lots of screaming but I loved them .

  34. Jon Evans says:

    WTF, when that bloke runs on the stage…John doesn't know what to do, half amused half scared I think! Crazy, especially when you think Lennon was actually killed by a 'fan' years later 🙁

  35. I really miss the real music of the 60's,70's,80's and 90's. what they call music today is just a pathetic joke. We need another Rock N Roll revolution.

  36. Wernald 24 says:

    Легенды нашего времени

  37. doug Brown says:

    Imagine Paul's father listening to them singing She Loves You in his home and telling Paul you need to change the lyrics form Yea, yea, yea to Yes, yes, yes. "Priceless"!

  38. Nada como los Beatles!!!! Saludos desde Colombia

  39. привет из России !!!!
