- A remake of an older video of mine, redone as I have found more precious video footage of this show, as well as corrected some of the previous editing. I have used all of the currently available sources to create this video, although the quality heavily ranges. Hopefully one day we will see more of this concert. Enjoy!
Track Listing:
1. Introduction / Tuning 0:00
2. Rock and Roll Music 0:44
3. She’s A Woman 1:33
4. If I Needed Someone 1:52
5. Yesterday 2:06
6. Nowhere Man 2:07
I was there, the Saturday night rain out was so sad, then they agreed to do the next day show. A life time highlight, my parents had to drive me (15) and my girlfriend (14) 2.5 hours each way to the shows, 10 hours of driving on two lane roads. I could never thank them enough for what they sacrificed for this experience. At 70 and counting I wish the PA were bigger the screams wiped out. Mom and Dad are gone but not forgotten.
How Sweet.
You have the BEST reply - nothing will top it !!!!
@@patrickrobinson317 Thanks just a fond memory.
That is so cool that they did that. You have a special historical experience to remember. I have seen Paul perform with his current band but the Beatles? wow. I would have been 7.
So was this Sunday show done only because it rained on Saturday night?
Your mum and dad were ideal parents. Lucky you.bless.
To think they already made Revolver at this point. Genius band.
I think Revolver was out and I was disappointed to not hear the new songs but it was a great experience, thanks Mom and Dad for driving two trips to Cincinnati 10 hours of total drive time.
@@flouisbailey Only Paperback Writer, the song from the sessions.
@@flouisbailey There was no way they could play Tomorow Never Knows too bad
@@rick2770 Rick we look back at life in the autumn 🍂 of our lives and I thank God I had great experiences. You young guys live life to the fullest. You and I have and will have regrets, it the journey. Retired great wife, two paid for Lexus in the garage and a paid for house. But I saw the Beatles, Stones, and tripped a lot at one time. Learning guitar later in life but I got all my parts. Smile every day. ✌️
They all had been already regular lsd users, except for Paul.
With modern PA systems I bet they would have been a seriously fantastic live band. The world missed out.
Amazing footage. Great upload.
Have a listen to their ALTANTA 65 show when they had proper amplification
Listen to their tour in Japan. Japanese people are quiet
Of course no doubt
In the early days they were a fantastic live band, after lots experiences in Hamburg and Cavern performances.
Just listen to the Sea Stadium 65 concert or even the last ever live gig at the roof at the Apple building. However the 66 tour was a dramatic one. Remember that the Beatles kicked out the Phillippines a few days before this USA tour. In that period they really want to stop with live performances.
cool glimpses of one of the last shows . 1966 was an amazing year for rock music .
The Beatles are the greatest musical phenomenon ever! To say they are the greatest is an evidence!
Worldwide appeal to every generation and the show goes on.
Even with that primitive sound system the Beatles sound great. It's their NRG that is so phenomenal.
It's called speed
@@whitehair8824 they only did in the cavern club and even then they were just uppers . Completely normal 👍 especially for back then in the early 60s
The Beatles, the best group of all time!!! There will be no other like it.
Totally agree hector..and I’m from Liverpool 👍🇬🇧
@@melvingardner5282 ehhh how lucky you are friend!!! I would really love to know the birthplace of the fabulous four
And even that's an understatement.
@@melvingardner5282 how lucky to be in Liverpool !!!
The Beatles played Crosley Field on Sunday, Aug. 21, 1966, in the broad daylight before flying to St. Louis for another show - the only time they played shows in two different cities in one day and one of their last concerts ever.
wonder why did that; did the cincy show get delayed?
@@kevinberger5671 Rain out. The support acts on The Beatles’ final tour, The Remains, Bobby Hebb, The Cyrkle and The Ronettes, had all performed the day before, prior to the downpour beginning. Mal Evans was thrown several feet across the stage while plugging into a wet amplifier. Brian Epstein made the call to postpone.
They couldn't hear themselves. It became a problem.
@@mfb3042 they could actually most likely hear themselves at this concert, as the PA was decent and only 8,000 were in attendance.
@@adambound7284 In the stands I heard the screaming backed by distant music. The Saturday rain was sorta fun, my first stadium concert a big step up from the Greenup, KY youth center and local soul bands. I got to see more strange people than I had seen in all my small town life. My parents were great driving two trips to Cincinnati and back, about 2.5 hours each way. At 70 reminiscing the experience.
I was at the “failed” 1966 concert at Shea Stadium. I thought it was absolutely fab. Failed because it wasn’t sold out as was the 1965 Shea concert. Who knew? What an amazing experience it was for me.
I remember my mother triumphantly reading aloud a newspaper story that assured everyone that Beatlemania was dead. Hardy Har Har. The joke was on that whole constipated generation.
@@kbchaffin53 can you say: FAKE NEWS. Boy was your mama wrong.
Que suerte si tuviera una máquina del tiempo una de las primeras cosas que haría es ir a ver a The Beatles al Shea Stadium
@@cotoelciclondeboedo5064 Fabuloso

Wrong

Got to love seeing Paul checking the tuning of his bass while running to the stage with the barrage of screams. Could he seriously hear it? I can barely hear my hofner bass with the TV running. LOL
He didn't play an ordinary Hofner bass. It had work done to it.
Even with a crappy sound system they sounded good.
Total delirium!!! Love love John!!❤️🌟I cried so much that damn December 8 🥲🥲
They were only months from recording Sgt. Pepper…. Wow.
Right...you mean months before getting real wrecked thin because of drugs 😂
@@cinematicpassages8884 heyyyyy drugs are fun
And record *Revolver* in the interim.
Paul was replaced first.
@@nadiachristiansen7599 That's a lame conspiracy theory, falsified by voice print analysis. Same dude, same voice.
I was 5 years old and living a few miles away in Northern Kentucky, but my oldest sister saw them in 1964, and I was just catching on to the music AND Beatlemania at that age.
Two classics, The Beatles & Crosley Field.
The greatest band to walk the earth..I rest my case 👍🇬🇧
They started the change in music, hair, dress, album covers, lyrics, they brought long hair then changed it again when they cut it back it back too grow long, they broke up in 1970, look up how many bands broke up after they broke up, Monkees, Simon and Garfunkel, and others.
Fantastic. Thanks for this contribution to the Beatles story.
my birthday present when I was 15 on 18 August. We drove up from Crestwood, Ky on saturday night. Then was told the concert was rained out. Drove back home and came back for the Sunday show. Very happy they did not cancel it.
They had become a cultural phenomenon-so much more than just a band. Eric Clapton talks about it, you can see it in a CZcams interview, how extreme their reception was when they walked into a room: people responded to them like no other. That’s why the Cincy police have them barricaded off from the crowd.
They were much more that just a band, yes. And they were much more that just music. They can't be explained. They ARE divinities
Just a sec to appreciate how good She's a Woman sounds! x Nice one Paul, always on form x
what a fantastic post . Thank you so much Adam. it is rare that I see NEW Beatle footage. cheers, I will check out your channel.
having listened to every live recording of them ever done as far as i know including several before there was any internet to speak of by 1966 they knew they were gonna stop touring and were basically just fulfilling contract obligations for the last tour and you can clearly hear the sound alot less enthusiastic and much more like they're just going through the motions as opposed to 64 or 65. the japan 66 gigs perfect example the footage is incredibly well filmed but they just sound bored and unmotivated.
still amazing footage ANY footage of them when they were still together is magic at least for BEATLEHEADS like me.
Thanks for this post. I saw them 6 days previously at DC Stadium Washington, for which I have found no video. This gets me close.
The Beatles set the bar so high that no band will ever be able to compete with them. Even a terrible PA system would not stop The Beatles from a legendary performance. In fact, this will outlast any band today. Yea, the bar is that high.
Lots of bands are talented also as well if not more ok. Stones and Beatles there's more than 1 or 2 bands in the history folks
broke up before they were 30
Agreed
@@mikejones9961 So ?
@@paulbakker6765 did you?
Beatles were a band with two of the greatest singer songwriters plus one really good singer songwriter.
John singing Rock and Roll Music after recording Tomorrow Never Knows. Haha.
What about it?
@@beatlemaniacwaltdisneyfan4753 The disconnect between writing and recording a song that has stood the test of time 55 years later (and an entire album of revolutionary songs), yet having to do the old moldy songs in concert like Baby's in Black and Roll Over Beethoven. No wonder why they were sick of those concerts.
@@Fun4None250 I think he meant it in a different context,.
@@Fun4None250 he might have meant 'old-school' for the music entertainment industry during that time😊😊👍👍
@@Fun4None250 or Jimi Hendrix, Keith Richards, Johnny Winter, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and, well, almost everybody.
Great and very special to me, thank you, love it!🙏💝👍
It's no wonder they stopped touring
Yeah, the entire thing was a dog and pony show. It wasn't even about the music at this point. They could have just stood onstage for 30 minutes and had people scream at them. At first it was okay because they where getting paid, but then when they no longer needed the money, what was the point? There wasn't one.
@@delawarehistory1675
Exactly, you hit the nail in the head: it was the money.
@@delawarehistory1675 The girls felt obligated to scream. So they had to go through the motions, even if they couldn't hear what they were playing...and few in the crowd could hear much of it either.
Thank you for uploading this!
Thanks for the upload. I had seen them 3 nights before at the Suffolk Downs Racetrack in East Boston.
Until Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones reinvented the touring business in the 70's (higher ticket prices, larger stages, advanced sound systems, luxury touring accomodations, etc.) The Beatles were simply a group before their time when it came to live shows. Had their shows been handled properly, they would have made 10 times the money and continued on as a band.
But the Beatles saved money on road crew and gear lol.
It wasn't the stones to be attributed. The changes in technology and demand made it possible. Is like Internet. Internet is growing at really higher proportions. Remember the stones are a blues cover band.
Led Zeppelin ruled of the 70's..
@@duffbaker9554 Another blues cover band.
@Dave Zafris Julian does!
And another fantastic job by AdamBound, you rock !
Great footage of a moment in time...
The staging of these shows back then is everything you could have done without exception to make this a horrible experience for the fans. An entire baseball field away from them, with scowling cops in between and the band under a low roof dark tent. an epiphany waiting to happen.
There had never been a stadium show before. Like so many other things they pioneered, the whole team was learning as they went. They didn't get any of the first millions made, either. The Beatles created the music industry on a large scale as it became to be.
If the fans wanted a better experience, then they should have kept quiet and enjoyed the music. No wonder the Beatles quit touring shortly thereafter.
believe me they needed scowling cops
This is the Revolver era. Great.
What a budget host setup! Looks like a stand at a flea market. Thank you for the upload, I'm writing this at my studio, only a few hundred yards from old Crosley Field.
The Beatles invented stadium concerts..2 days later they played Shea stadium in NY..I went with my cousin..I was 11..and remember like it was yesterday
Great reconstruction. WELL DONE...! Thanks : )
The distance from the Beatles to the audience. The Beatles on a bandstand. A metaphor or something
Ridiculous how far they were from the audience. They should have allowed the audience onto the field and up close near the stage. Would have been a much better experience for everyone. Any security concerns could easily have been addressed by placing a barrier in front of the stage.
@@aussieboy77 i think at the time, the powers that be were not only concerned about security, but also that the sports teams didn't want their precious grass to be destroyed by thousands of stomping fans. i agree, it is ridiculous. the Beatles should've hired some smart people to figure out these problems. but by then, they were scarred, jaded and just over it
Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band were based on a "Victorian Park Band"... ;-) (The BeeGees Sgt Pepper Band did just that: czcams.com/video/sm0Wx4ZX8aw/video.html ).
I never knew the Beatles played in Ohio! And I was born about 2 weeks later, on September 4th, 1966 near Columbus, Ohio.
The Beatles played a total of four concerts in Ohio. They did Cincinnati and Cleveland twice (1964 and 1966).
Hi AdamBound nice work i saw the Beatles the previous year Aug 21, 1965 at the Metro Stadium in Minnesota i will never forget it I was just a kid. Thanks for uploaded this video. 😎😎👍👍
Well, there were at least a few seconds of amazing footage here. When people filmed back then, there was never any forethought to capture an ENTIRE LINE from a song;, let alone whole contiguous verse; god forbid. So when I saw the title of this I got all excited...at first. A lot of this concert footage is three words in a row, then skip to the chorus or the bridge and hear 4 words there, then suddenly you're at the outro. I would love to say ANY of these 1966 or 1965 US appearances in their entirety in GOOD quality. APPLE will withhold Shea Stadium until the sun explodes.
Keep in mind that film cameras and film stock was EXPENSIVE back then to the average consumer.. A typical 8mm reel had limited time of 15 to 25 minutes. So you shot short clips as to not to use up the film. You were capturing moments through the time you could shoot.
@@jimirayo Yes, and I agree. But people still needed to calm down and film something that made musical sense. Super 8 and regular 8mm shouldn't have cost that much.
@@jimirayo What about battery time?
@@moonlightfishin4113 Most old cameras use four AA batteries. Easy to carry spares.
Many younger folks seem to imagine that recording movies and audio back then was only slightly more difficult, expensive, or cumbersome than it is now. To those with that view, the state of technology my generation grew up with appears to be a vague concept, at best.
Pitch perfect vocals through a crummy P.A. with all the screams and they are still in tune
and ten times better than what passes for a live performance these days . Inspirational ,we will not see their like again.
The difference between now and then is astronomical. Most run of the mill bar bands today have a better set up than this. Not saying anything new but imagine if music production we have today had been around for the past few centuries.
I was there...awesome.
Amazing footage. Thank you
No stage monitors, impossible to hear themselves sing, and the music was buried under the screams anyway, which were so loud it drove human hearing into intermodulation distortion. I don't blame The Beatles for deciding not to tour any more. Nothing about it was fun. But it was a thrill for the fans, and just about the only way any of them would ever get to see them play live. Now we have better technology...but alas, The Beatles aren't here to use it.
Looking at the stage setup they had two large Altec speakers with horns pointing towards the stage..these would have acted as monitors
If I needed Someone is one of my faves.
I saw the Beatles later that night in St. Louis. I wish I had video footage. It's awesome you have the footage you have. Congrats!! What a great time!!
Cool you are so lucky
@@davidlee2490 Thank you, my friend. Yes, I was VERY lucky. My mom gave me her ticket. She was going with my Aunt (her sister) and two girl cousins and when I found out I would let up that I wanted to go so she gave me her ticket. Obviously, I had the coolest mom.
They should've played a few revolver tracks
Taxman and And Your Bird Can Sing
I don't know if they would've been physically able too, very complex stuff on that record
They did play Paperback Writer in 66. The non-album single was closest they got to a Revolver song live.
There were a few songs on the album that would have worked live, too.
@@ricardo_miguel13 ooooo..... dang..... that'll be so cool🙌🙌and if there were better sound system/ recording of them with reducing the audience screaming... for those of us here in the future to listen & watch too... would be so cool...🌈🌸🔥💕😌😌
Doctor Robert, Here, There and Everywhere (a ballad, but they managed to play 'Yesterday), She Said She Said were all manageable EVEN with the basic technology used on that tour, no backing tapes, no extra musicians, a shame they weren't considered, really...
fantastic!
Historical archive, wow.
You and I are so so lucky to have been born in an immediate proximity to them.
you can see how these concerts turned the Beatles off touring... the Beatles held themselves to an extraordinary standard of quality, and were all about delivering quality to their fans, and the organizers of these concerts were delivering a very poor fan experience.... good on them for putting a stop to it
Good stuff: One day, Ai will be able to take this, enhance it, make it 3D and we can watch them Live and LIVE all over again !
Contrast these shows in the States with their performance at Circus Krone in Munich from the same year. In the States no one could hear or see a thing. Whereas, at Munich the fans were almost on top of the band and the venue was small enough that they could be heard loud and clear. I know where I would rather have seen them.
The most they would have had besides the guitar amps was a pubic address system for the voices. When my group played in 70’-‘72 that’s what anyone did who had a friend who had one. Or you sang through your amp. That’s it. The amp. Sound systems as we know them eventually evolved.
I have this fantasy that appears in my head periodically. The Beatles are on stage. I'm on stage . Out in the audience are all the musical entities that have and will have existed. I say " they are better than you . Somebody say's, how many of them .I say " ALL OF THEM" You have to understand what's been going on here . At the end of this planets run , somebody will have been the best ,and it will have been the Beatles.
Ringo was 26, Lennon 25, McCartney 24, Harrison 23. They were so cool, biggest band in the world and they acted like regular fellas.
It's crazy that in 3-4 months time, they were already working on sgt pepper, heading into a new direction in music
John is pure rock and roll 💪💪
THE BEST❗ GO BEATLES ❤ 🇺🇸⭐
Epic!
Úžasné ❤
To think that not the soon-to -quit-live-performance Beatles (5% screen time), but the crowd and the venue background (95% screen time) were the main attraction.
Dear George, John, RIP.
Paul too.
Full setlist of that show:
Rock and Roll Music
She's a Woman
If I Needed Someone
Day Tripper
Baby's in Black
I Feel Fine
Yesterday
I Wanna Be Your Man
Nowhere Man
Paperback Writer
Long Tall Sally
Wow. 11 two to three minute songs. Short set.
I would’ve stopped touring too!
1:31 the smart one...
I remember hearing about this show but it cost $25 and was 2 hours away so no chance for me.
Why no chance for me? Too much money or too far away?
Thank you so very much!

Every concert of The Beatles shows more of the screaming girls than the band.
A depiction of Beatlemania. I saw the Beatles in 1965. I was more interested in hearing the Beatles live, but you couldn't totally avoid hearing the Wall of Scream.
Yeah. That's very annoying.
Fun fact: the first time the played Cincinnati at the Gardens the radio DJ who promoted the event had to mortgage his house to cover it because rock n roll concerts were considered risky.
Bob Eubanks out in LA had to do the same thing to get The Beatles to play at the Hollywood Bowl in 1964.
Wow R&Roll music's sounds so heavy!
Amazing !!!
A little bit better video than their last concert at Candlestick Park 8 days later. Practically no video of that. What a shame. I should have brought my camera 😀
I was born in Canton Ohio on the same day they played in Cincinnati
Did you make it to the show?
thank yu i loved it!!!!
Thank you Adam!
My mom was at this concert and she took some pictures during the concert and hopefully I will be able to find them one day.
So strange to see a band of their caliber playing in the middle of the daytime, later on everything would be at night with light shows and the like.
They experienced a level of fame no one else has experienced. It's crazy to think about really. If the Beatles walked into a room full of the biggest celebrities of the time, those celebrities would become star truck upon seeing one of the Beatles.
Just as Brian Epstein had predicted. "The Beatles will be bigger than Elvis". Just as John Lennon said, they were going to "The topper most of the popper most".
No artists had ever been that famous before, and no artists has been that famous since.
3 months later--Strawberry Fields Forever
Only 8000 fans on hand to see The Legend of legends.
Thank you Adam
IN just 2 1/2 short years they would all look almost completely different and be shooting the Get Back doc
I was thinking this! They grew up in appearance just a few years later
home movies of the beatles wow, that must be rare. very cool.
Man, too bad the sound systems for rock concerts back then were infant. Imagine with what we have now.
sooooo incredible
And in three months they'd begin the Sgt Pepper sessions.

Would?

"29 August 1966, The Beatles performed what they considered to be their last ever live show at San Francisco's Candlestick Park. Even though the show wasn't announced as their final date, it was the end of the era."
El escenario a 2 kilómetros del público ! Qué desvarío.Y los Fabs debajo de una carpa,increíble esas cosas de los sixties,y el sonido una masa de ruido,era como decían ellos, "la gente nos viene a ver no a escuchar ".
Last tour
RnR Music sounds awesome
This is the Candlestick Park concert music.
This happened only one month before I was born. Wow.
These are only snippets of all their concerts. Are there any complete concert videos of the Beatles live concerts in 1966?
