Video: 'The Beatles 19 july 1964'

(Sunday, July 19, 1964, 8:25-9:25 p.m. BST) — The Beatles appeared live tonight on the ABC television show Blackpool Night Out at Blackpool’s ABC Theatre.

They performed five songs: “A Hard Day’s Night,” “Things We Said Today,” “You Can’t Do That,” “If I Fell” and “Long Tall Sally.”

A first attempt at performing “If I Fell” broke down after John Lennon and Paul McCartney began laughing during the opening, and the song was restarted.

The Beatles also took part in comedy sketches for the show, for which they dressed up as characters including refuse collectors and medical surgeons.

“ITN News” cameras were allowed inside to film some brief footage of their rehearsal of a comedy skit.

The footage from the show is believed to have been lost, but an audio recording still exists.
