Some of ships featured at the White Star pier (that I could identify) at the Gladstone docks are the SS Zealandic and SS Doric. The White Star Liner arriving is one of the Big Four.
“We want Pete!” at the very end; Ringo had just played his first concert as a Beatle four days before this Cavern appearance! Some in the audience weren’t happy about that turn of events; I think everything worked out ok! (Pete got a big payday due to the Anthology 1 release in the mid-90s)
Beautyfull reaction seeing on Paul' s face.. Phenominal performance.. Especcially the last song.. " Get back to where you once belonged.. "😂 I assume this was choosen singing for the police officers..😅😂
My grandparents came to Liverpool from Ireland in 1929 (to live). I have been doing my family history for a while and right now I am focusing on Liverpool around this period - just gathering information about the streets they lived in, which are all long gone now. So it's fascinating to watch how it all would have looked when they first arrived.
I remember in the Sixties, the ferries were 'chocker' and the Pier Head had double-decker gangways so that passegers could disembark quicker from both decks.
As someone who still works heavy horses it was interesting to see the use of horses in an indoor warehouse environment. Horses are quite useful in any environment where there is a risk of fire, such as an indoor lumber or cloth or chemical storage facility, a horse shod with rubber caulked shoes has no chance of striking a spark, and no chance of a spark from engine exhaust or even electric motor or battery sparks if flammable vapours are possible.
Who remembers the label machine at Woodside, that made labels from a small strip of aluminium, it had a large pointer arrow with the alphabet on a dial
I wonder who colorized it... Don't tell but I updated it!, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LfgvoNvjRFY.html , hope the orignal colorizer does not find out!
A wonderful glimpse of a time long gone and nearly forgotten except for films like these. This is terrific. I'd never heard of the floating roadway--what and where was it?
I remember it at thePier Head. It allowed vehicles to get onto the Princes Landing Stage and access the IOM boats as well as the ferries. It started off the Strand in between the Atlantic Tower Hotel and St Nick’s church.
the Michael Jackson estate needs to take it's thumb out of it's backside and release this concert on blue ray for the fans. it was attended by 125,000 people of which I was one. I'd buy a copy.
Love the smart attire and shoes. These were the days before hoodies n faded jeans took hold. Bet those clothes were all made from natural fibres too. Interesting video worth saving. Thanks ❤
