Beatles/France 1965 Afternoon & Evening Shows Complete

The Beatles’ breakthrough into the world came in early 1964 when their song “I Want to Hold You” became the number one hit in the United States. Epstein had already decided to go to the United States, but Epstein must have been convinced of his success by receiving a souvenir that he wanted to hug at the right time. This historic first news reached the Beatles in January 1964 during a series of performances in Paris. The consecutive performances in Paris at this time were unprecedentedly large-scale, and this is the only time in the history of the Beatles that the tour lasted for such a long time at the same venue. Paris was the sparking moment when the Beatles, who were still locally popular in Europe, expanded to a global scale. The Beatles performed in Paris again in 1965. It was a triumphant return, with a much more dignified atmosphere than the previous year. The situation changed drastically in 1964, and the Beatles were no longer performing continuously in small theaters. At the end of 1964, they performed for seven days at London’s Hammersmith Odeon, and in early 1965 they spent the first half of January playing concerts at London’s Odeon Cinema. Then, at the end of June, the band’s first tour in about five months was a European tour that included stops in France, Italy, and Spain. It was a relatively short tour, lasting approximately two weeks from June 20, 1965 to July 3, 1965. This work includes the two daytime and nighttime performances held in Paris on June 20th, the first day. [1965 European Tour Set List] The 1965 set list is special only for this time, and is very interesting and significantly different from the 1965 summer US tour. Although the flow of “Twist And Shout” and “She’s A Woman” is the same, it is the only tour left that is playing live “I’m A Loser” sung by John using a harmonica holder. Isn’t it interesting that “She’s A Woman” is sung by changing “Give” from “My love don’t give me presents…” to “Buy”? Although the meaning is the same, what is Paul’s intention in singing this way, ignoring the meaning of the lyrics? In addition, “Rock And Roll Music” is played in the second half, and “Ticket To Ride” is located before the encore, making it a unique arrangement only at this time. Although it may not be very important, it is also unusual for Ringo’s song to be played before George’s. [June 20, 1965, Paris performance, daytime section] In this 1965 Paris performance, daytime section, there are several sound sources with different outflow routes. For convenience, the source A is a sound board sound source with very good sound quality. It is not clear how it was leaked, but although there are some cuts caused by the master, the sound quality is very good and it is used mainly in this work. Next is what is said to be source B. This is the air check sound source of the broadcast that was broadcast live on the radio at the time. I was surprised that the Beatles’ live performance was being broadcast live, but the sound quality is not good, but it is unique in that it is recorded almost uncut because it is a live broadcast. Furthermore, this radio broadcast was rebroadcast at a later date, but for convenience’s sake, let’s call it source C. Although there are fewer songs because it is not a complete recording, the sound quality is better than source B because the air check conditions are different. It is characterized by the presence of In this way, source ABC and each have their own characteristics. In the past, previously released records such as TSP used only source A. It may be a product of an easy-going era where people didn’t care about the position of small cuts, but the pitch was of course unstable, and the content was far from a definitive edition. “PARIS LEFT BREATHLESS” (3CD + 2DVD) released on the M Claudel label is still positioned as the highest peak of the 1965 Paris performance, and includes source ABC and all remaining sound sources, and ABC The longest edited version is also included. This title is not necessary. And this work is a little more accessible and contains the longest recording of the source ABC by editing. As mentioned above, it has been edited in priority order, with the good-sounding source A as the main, source C and source B for the missing parts, and we are proud to say that it is the longest and best of the daytime parts of the Paris performance. Also, the sound quality is different from that of “PARIS LEFT BREATHLESS”, not that one is better or worse. The latest remastering adds spaciousness to the sound and creates a stereo-like sound image that has never been seen before, and will satisfy everyone from new fans who are experiencing the Paris performance for the first time to enthusiasts as something different from the previously released version. I hope so. Also included is the undercard performance at the beginning. It is mainly a digest recording, but the Yardbirds’ performance has been known to Yardbirds fans for a long time as one of the few live recordings from Jeff Beck’s tenure. Also included at the end of the disc are several interviews in Paris. It may be difficult to understand because it’s in English, but I hope you can feel the atmosphere of the time. [June 20, 1965 Paris performance night section] There are multiple sound sources for this night section, but you probably know that there are more videos than that. Although the shot is shot in black and white, looking up from below, it is a valuable record that almost completely remains as a professional shot. And many of the previously released records, including TSP, had the daytime version of “I Feel Fine” reused, meaning that the nighttime version of “I Feel Fine” was missing for a long time. Of course, the sound source of the day was used properly in “PARIS LEFT BREATHLESS”, and this is also followed in this work. Also, it is only in recent years that the detailed set list has been revealed, and there are only a few songs, including this one, that have been written exactly as the set list, even though the order of the songs was a mess. While there are ABC and three types of sound sources for the daytime part, two types of sound sources remain for the nighttime part: a video-derived source and a source called station archive. This work includes both of these two types of sources. The video-derived source has good sound quality throughout the entire story without any particular omissions, so there is no need to supplement it with station archive sources, so no content editing has been done. [LIVE AT PALAIS DES SPORTS PARIS] This work is a complete recording of the two day and night performances in Paris on June 20, 1965. The daytime part is the longest and best one by editing multiple flawed sources, and has been remastered with a new sound quality that is different from the previously released version. The night part contains two perfect sources that do not need to complement each other. As a bonus track, the undercard of the daytime section and an interview in Paris are included.
