The Beatles weren't really interested in improving their live musical performances even in 1966. The Who used the Marshall sound system at this time and later in the year Cream and Jimi Hendrix did the same which made them all dynamic live acts. But I suppose by this time the Beatles had had enough of the screaming girls even if they had a louder system.
They were so over it by this time. In those days they would keep the house lights on during shows. There was very little sound reinforcement so nobody could really hear them very well anyway. Still amazing though.
They were tired touring by this stage plus this song had just been released, they hadn't done it live much. No monitors were used on these performances
pretending that she wasn't a groupie either but rather some artist randomly met ignoring the fact she jumped in the car between him and Cynthia stood their house was taken in by Cynthia out of the rain and was basically just a desperate groupie hoping to end up with John and ultimately deviding him from his wife and gaining access to his wealth and influence
The vocals left alot to be desired but their playing was cool tho. I know it was hard to recreate those harmonies and vocals live. Especially from that Revolver album. Alot of times they couldn't even be heard. That led to the decline of them as a live band period. But all in all it's the f---ing Beatles. The G.O.A.T.
For us the sound is important, but for the people at the concerts the quality of sound was irrelevant, they just wanted to SEE The Beatles live and scream .

historic. in today's standard, the sound sucked. But compared to 1930 it wasn't too bad. It was a pretty raw version, but so great to hear due to the context.
RU-vid automatically detects copyrighted audio/video and takes them down. That's why it's difficult to find full Beatles live videos, they get delisted almost instantly by RU-vid.
@@jeffcory1056 You misunderstand me. I'm saying that the original uploader, in an attempt to circumvent the copyright detection filter, has added effects to the video, making it different enough not to be caught by the filter. And it seems to have worked.
@@kimeojin1234 Ok. I see. Most copyrighted videos are taken down but not all. Some posters will go to great lengths, even extraordinary lengths as this video does, to avoid filters. Good point. Thank you.
I love the Beatles, but oof, if a cover band had done this song exactly like this, people'd leave. They were better than this, the industry totally cheaped out on them, made a mint but didn't give them the support. They could've had backing musicians by this time, plus good quality monitors to hear themselves play. Their performance was no doubt lacking for these reasons, why bother playing great when no one seems to care about the music. They just had to all four show up. In fact, if they'd just gotten all 4 together in one room for a conference any time in the late 70s, that would've created a frenzy, let alone an actual concert.
"Good quality monitors" didn't exist in 1966. There were side fill monitors at best, with the same mix as the Front Of House system, which would have done squat with thousands of teenage girls screaming over the band. It wasn't until the 1970's that Bob Cavin led the engineering team that created the MM-4, the first mixing console intended solely for stage monitors.
@@robertcole5123 As I heard it, they had front monitors at the Atlanta Stadium show in August 1965, they said it was wonderful to hear themselves again. Might've not been the best, but why only Atlanta had these special monitors? The Beatles should've insisted on them from that point onward. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XjiQx-1qUrY.html
@@soundshaperThey had no monitors there either, or if they did it was ran on the same board as the FOH speakers. Monitors as we know them now did not exist until the 1970's.
@@robertcole5123 They had monitors at Candlestick Park 3 Altec Lansing 9844 studio monitors were used each side of the stage and in front...yes nothing like the wedge models in the 70s but McCune Audios Mort Feld and his team understood they needed fold back speakers . I dont know how they were mixed. A few other concerts had monitors too including Dodger stadium 66 ...but it all depended on the sound company as the Beatles didn't use their own P.A. systems.
Absolutely terrible.... and bear in mind I think the Beatles were the best band ever, but man that was the worst I've ever heard them sound. I've played in several semi-pro bands and if we did a song cover that sounded like that we would just simply not have played it. I think in this instance the Beatles should have done the same.
