I found this on Youtube, but not many people had seen it.
It's frigging cool!
Someone, back in..1966(?)...was at the Hollywood Bowl, with an 8mm movie camera, with no sound.
First - The Beatles, as a live act, sucked, mainly, during their years of fame. They were just horrible.
Elvis, Buddy Holly, on the Ed Sullivan show - I'll find some videos and post them, but watch them - they are legends, and you can tell. Then look at The Beatles. Out of tune, lame, no stage presence.
They were brilliant at recording, and Lennon/McCartney were great song-writers, but, as for live performance...?
And yet!!! Here, we see, The Beatles, totally, kicking ass! One of the Youtube comments said they were like a precursor to punk. Attitude, and...they were GREAT.
And...it's THE BEATLES.
So - this was NEVER filmed, professionally. There is no film of this ephemeral thing...and, it's so sad...the films I've seen of them all, basically, suck.
So...this person synched up his/her 40 year old 8mm film, with the professional recording of that concert - and it totally kicks ass.
And it's The Beatles!
I just think it's so cool....

I gotta say, even though it's a parody, it's catchy as all hell - can't get it out of my head! aaaaaugh!
We may have the old VHS tapes, 8mm film or 35mm old slide which contain our old memories. Now it is the perfect tie to transfer them onto a DVD or CD. 8mm Video to DVD Transfer
