| Beatles B&W super 8 film of them live at
Shea Stadium in New York on August 15,1965. I acquired this film back 1971
or 72 while I was in a film making class. It is about 3 minutes or 50 feet
long, in black and white, and shows all four Beatles (George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr) on stage and several close-ups of each musician.
Because the film is without sound you can play an early Beatles song while
you show this film and you will have a great performance.
The Beatles significant concert at Shea Stadium,
home of the New York Mets baseball team, was seen by 55,600 fans and
created at the time a new world record for a pop concert in terms of
attendance and gross revenue. The Beatles traveled by limousine from the
Warwick Hotel to a water front heliport. Then flew by helicopter over New
York City to the stadium, there they would find a packed house and a
deafening wall of screams. The short movie is certainly a remarkable film,
capturing not only the intense excitement of this record breaking concert,
but also a degree of fan hysteria so fantastic it has to be seen to be
believed. It is interesting to see the small amps that they were using on
the stage.
The quality is very high on this super 8
film and it is in excellent condition.
If you've any interest in learning more about the show
