The Beatles - "The Beatles at Shea Stadium" 1966 film (RARE High Quality)

The film captures not only the concert, but also the events leading up to the concert, including the Beatles' helicopter ride from Manhattan to Flushing Meadows, their preparation in the dressing room (ie, the visiting baseball team’s locker) at Shea Stadium, and clips from the show's other acts, including Sounds Incorporated. Television host Ed Sullivan introduces the band when they finally take the stage. The film is not a completely candid concert film. The songs "She's A Woman" and "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby" are omitted from the film due to time and likely camera reel change issues (audio of the latter song was released on The Beatles Anthology Volume 2 CD). The audio for the songs that remained went through a heavy post-production process as well. Some songs were treated with overdubs, or even re-recorded entirely, by The Beatles at London's CTS Studios in January 1966, to cover audio problems throughout the concert recording. In addition, the audio for "Twist and Shout" comes from a show at the Hollywood Bowl later on the same tour, and the audio for "Act Naturally" was simply replaced by the studio version of the song (released on the Help LP in Britain and on the B-side of "Yesterday" in the US), sped up slightly and poorly edited to sync up to the film. Although the film has not been officially available on DVD or VHS, it has been widely available on the bootleg circuit for decades, including in a "raw audio" form that restores the original Shea Stadium ...
