Video: 'The Beatles Live At The Convention Hall, Philadelphia, USA (Wednesday 2nd September 1964)'

(Wednesday, September 2, 1964, 9:30 p.m. EDT; during The Beatles’ 1964 North American tour) — The Beatles performed for 12,037 ecstatic fans at Convention Hall in Philadelphia tonight, marking the 10th stop of their first full North American tour.

The concert was simulcast by radio station WIBG, providing one of the few quality soundboard recordings from the Beatles’ touring days.

Despite John Lennon’s guitar being mixed too loudly, the vocals were clear, and the music managed to rise above the screams of excited fans.

The performance featured the usual giggling fits during “If I Fell” and playful, albeit inaccurate, stage introductions. John humorously struggled to recall the order of their hits, while Paul McCartney mistakenly introduced “Boys” as being from their first Capitol album.

The Barbre team filmed portions of the show, capturing “You Can’t Do That,” “All My Loving,” “She Loves You,” and “A Hard Day’s Night,” along with The Beatles’ dramatic escape from the stage into a service elevator with their road managers, Neil Aspinall and Derek Taylor.

Though the footage is silent, a version synchronized to the radio broadcast is circulating.
