Although ABC TV was filming the concert, the band failed to reach an agreement over terms, so the cameras were turned off while The Beatles performed five songs: “I Feel Fine,” “Nowhere Man,” “Day Tripper,” “If I Needed Someone,” and “I’m Down.”
The group was, however, filmed receiving their poll awards.
The ABC-TV program aired on May 16 at at 3:50 p.m. BST.
