Steve reports that Shea '65 was remastered for the upcoming Ron Howard film as well as The Hollywood Bowl. It's (the news on this new concert film) Getting Better All The Time! Thank you Giles Martin! In fact, if you go see the movie, afterwards you get to see a 30 minute film of the Shea '65 concert digitally redone as well as remastered musically. Big full page ad on back page of today's NY Times arts section (New York edition) advertises the film and the new restored and remastered Shea footage being released. Check out the new trailer on the film in the article below! thebeatleseightdaysaweek.com/news/shea-stadium-gig-to-screen-as-part-of-theatrical-release-of-the-beatles-eight-days-a-week-the-touring-years/PS Look for where Paul briefly "flips the bird" in the new trailer of the Ron Howard film!!!

I don't understand why the Shea concert is considered good enough to be restored and presented in a movie theatre, but not made available on DVD, or CD.
Similarly, a few years ago I think the Washington concert was included as a bonus if you bought the Beatles In Stereo box set from iTunes, but no separate CD release. Just not logical to me.

The "remastered" Shea no doubt means the "original" forgery. The Shea video from 1966 is mostly doctored by The Beatles and George Martin, with countless overdubs and completely re-recorded parts. That'll be what we hear in this "live" movie.

I would love them to try to clean up the best of Japan, which is obviously and painfully live, but still enjoyable at least to me.

They are generally tight-lipped and don't say things ahead. Here's my guess ... we will get Shea. Whether it'll be in the DVD with the Howard film or what, it'll come. But since they try to focus on one thing at a time, that's why not yet.

Japan's not my favorite, but I'd like the whole show since it's such good quality.

More good news! There are very cool DVD bootlegs of Shea but it will be awesome to have it restored and legit!
I loved watching Shea in the Grand Ballroom during Beatlefest. The audience would really get into that especially during "I'm Down."

The film of Shea 1965 (the one shown on TV and widely available) was hugely doctored by The Beatles and George Martin. It's about 50% live. So, is this Shea footage in Opie's movie going to be the actual live show, or enhanced sound of the 'doctored' one as originally released?

I'd rather see autotune than overdubs, but Japan is a mono single track I believe, so that could be difficult.

That is excellent, the "dark suits" concert is much better that the "light suits" one. That was great fun!

I didn't realize that was a link. Now I'm going to be up late tonight, finishing my Preacher marathon.

Thanks for the link Mike, that was good to watch.
They were definitely a great studio band.
I was wondering whilst i was watching that show if any of them auditioned for a band like the Bootleg Beatles, would they get in.

Honestly, for a period before monitors and decent PA systems, this show wasn't THAT bad. 30 minutes though...wow. What classic band was the first to do a longer show...say at least 90 minutes? This is not trivia- I really don't know!

Don't be too harsh -- the short 1966 tour(s) is the low-point, live, in the group's history. I read that they didn't even bother to rehearse (!) prior to flying to Germany for the first shows. Not to mention 1966 is about one year before rock bands starting using monitors onstage. But can you imagine the world's biggest act going on tour today and not even rehearsing...? Different times.

It was a shame that the guy who set up the PA system at Atlanta in 65 didn't answer in the affirmitive when they asked him to join them on tour. It was loud and they had monitors and could hear themselves.

Yes, that Atlanta show is the one and only 'Beatlemania'-era show I have on my hard-drive. The setlist and stage-banter are as crap as ever, but the sound and performance are solid.
The Beatles were basically done as a live band from late 1963, a fact that I suspect Ron Howard's documentary is going to avoid...

What amazes me is the Beatles tuning their own instruments! Nobody (at least among the major groups!) has done that in decades! Also, who was the @#$%^ who set up the mikes? But yes, I echo JSD's comments! And yes, thanks, mikev, for sharing that!

They were close enough for rock 'n' roll. :-)
