This title captures the early Beatles live on home soil. Drawn from the special "BLACKPOOL NIGHT OUT" editions of the popular British TV program "BIG NIGHT OUT," held in Blackpool - one of Britain's best known seaside resorts - in 1964 and 1965, these performances are presented here in excellent sound quality. Appropriately for a resort setting, both events took place in summer. First, the August 1, 1965 performance came just after the release of the single "Help!" In addition to "I Feel Fine" and "Ticket To Ride," it also features the very rare live take of "Act Naturally" sung by Ringo. Also included is "Yesterday," performed five days before the album's release, the same live version later seen in the video edition of "Anthology," with Paul singing to his acoustic guitar against an orchestral backing tape. This was also the first live performance of the immortal classic "Yesterday." After Paul finishes, John presents him with a bouquet, only for it to turn out to be nothing but stems, then jokingly cuts through the afterglow with "Thank you, Ringo. Wonderful." That spoken exchange is preserved here as well. The earlier "BLACKPOOL NIGHT OUT" on July 19, 1964 opens with the then new single "A Hard Day's Night," followed by impassioned performances of "Things We Said Today," "You Can't Do That," "If I Fell," and "Long Tall Sally." Apart from "You Can't Do That" and "Long Tall Sally," the set consisted almost entirely of new songs being performed live for the first time, making for a thrilling show charged with both tension and excitement. Rare live recordings from the same period are also included as bonus material. At a time when the Beatles were rapidly ascending to stardom and expanding their activities across the world, performances in their home country were surely something special, irreplaceable live occasions for the band themselves as well. A fiery and invaluable document of the Beatles in concert. Includes detailed Japanese liner notes.
