The Beatles - 1965-06-20 - Paris, France (SBD)

1960s - #4 -Forty Seven years ago today, The Beatles played 2 concerts at the Palais de Sportes in Paris, France on June 20, 1965. The Paris shows were the first of a 9 date, 15 concert European tour, the last time the Beatles would play live on that continent. The set lists for the 2 shows included several songs from their most recent album, Beatles For Sale, released back in December 1964 in the UK. Many of the songs on that album were covers, as the Beatles were short of new material at the time. In the US, that album was split into 2 discs, Beatles ’65 and Beatles VI, as Capitol Records, mistakenly felt that the band’s material wasn’t suited to the US Market. All 3 discs went to number 1 on the charts. Interestingly, right before they left for this tour, The Beatles spent 4 days in the studio working on their next disc. That album, entitled Help, would feature almost all new material with only 2 covers, the last time the band ever recorded a composition that they didn’t write. In addition to the title track, Help would feature a tune that would become the most recorded song in Yesterday. The album would be the precursor to such landmark records as Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt Pepper’s, The White Album and Abbey Road. Download this soundboard recording of their Paris concerts, therefore, to hear the Beatles on the cusp of taking rock in directions no one had ever imagined. By the way - the date on the artwork is incorrect.
