Editorial Reviews

The Beatles: Live At The Hollywood Bowl is a new album that captures the joyous exuberance of the band's three sold-out concerts at Los Angeles' Hollywood Bowl in 1964 and 1965. The CD will be packaged in a `digisleeve' and accompanied by a 24 page booklet with new liner notes by David Fricke. A companion to The Beatles: Eight Days A Week - The Touring Years, Academy Awardr-winner Ron Howard's authorized and highly anticipated documentary feature film about the band's early career.

5.0 out of 5 stars this is a fantastic, historically important CD
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2016

What can one say that has not been uttered thousands of times before about the Beatles. Suffice to say they are historically, the most famous, influential and arguably important "band" in music history or at least within the genre of electronic pop/rock based music even though their music transcended any label or genre, little has been written or discussed about their live performances. Excluding David Fricke's laughable, & grossly misleading liner notes, this is a fantastic, historically important CD.
Of course its understandable given the tsunami of screaming that shattered their ears for practically every performance since doing their last Cavern show on August 3, 1963 that they had an uphill battle trying to perform to levels they were used to. They were obviously, without question, a great little quartet and were perfectly able, IF allowed to hear themselves, to come off very close to their original recordings even though, by October 1963, due to their ability to make mulitple over dubs via the Telefunken four track, the studio instrument shuffle was on especially by 1965 when they recorded the Help LP i.e., John or Paul playing lead guitars, keyboards, etc. but for live performances such as Ticket to Ride (where during the actual studio recording Paul played lead guitar & bass, George played two guitars including a 12 string and John on electric rhythm) they had no choice but to use the standard 2 guitars, bass and drums format. During Ticket to Ride, George had to cover the lead riffs that Paul actually played on the recorded version but the audiences would never have known the difference even if they COULD hear them.
The Beatles were heavily into double tracking by their second LP (With the Beatles) and during live shows they had to compensate for sections that were sung by the same vocalist, case in point, All My Loving which features McCartney singing his own vocal harmony duet on the last verse but for live shows, Harrison would join McCartney for those harmonies (just as he did on Things We Said Today, another tune where PM sang both harmony vocals on the studio recording) plus they would deviate for effect such as on a Hard Days Night were during the studio recording, John is the main double tracked lead with Paul taking the middle eight, but on the live versions, Paul joins John on the end of each refrain "you know I feel al...right" where on the studio recording, its John alone double tracked during those sections.
I Want to Hold Your Hand is interesting from the standpoint, as demonstrated in other live tracks, George would sling on his Rickenbacker 12 string for John Lennon's great A Hard Days Night, You Can't Do That and If I Fell (which is not included on this CD) but to accommodate the short time frame, would keep the 12 string on during tunes like IWTHYH, or Long Tall Sally etc. even though there is certainly no 12 on those original recordings.
What DOES punch through on this recording is the power of the Fabs, even with the handicap of trying to perform "deaf" since they had no monitors. Tunes like Lennon's Help, or great covers like Twist & Shout and Boys come through with visceral impact including the powerful Beatles version of Long Tall Sally which features Paul's great walking bass lines.
Lennon's You Can't Do That is fabulous instrumentally but only suffers from the fact, Paul and George's back up harmonies are lost for the first few verses due to mic problems. Again, its most amazing that John and Paul (& occasionally George) could pull off complex harmonies considering they could NOT hear themselves which in hindsight, has to be a monumental feat and is testimony to HOW good they really were. The only mild critique I would make regarding the recordings is how mixed back John's great rhythm guitar is even when he played lead guitar such as on the first solo break on Long Tall Sally and the guitar solo during You Can't Do That.
My only complaint about this CD is the ludicrous set of liner notes by David Fricke where he shamelessly displays his little fan boy crush on McCartney. His liner notes immediately focus on one of the poorest tracks on the whole CD much less one of the worst compositions from their catalog which is Things We Said Today. First of all, he makes the absurd claim that Paul's Things We Said Today was somehow a spectacular leap forward in the evolution of Beatles tunes...huh? He goes on ad-nauseam about how much of a departure it is because its based on a "minor" sequence, obviously forgetting the John Lennon wrote several "minor" based melodies before that including I'll Be Back and Not a Second Time. The way he gushes over McCartney at the expense of his co-writer and partner, a guy named John Lennon (who by the summer of 1965 was far out numbering McCartney in compositions, lead vocals and even A side singles) only betrays his bias and apparent man crush on Paul:-)
Things We Said Today was the B side of the single Hard Days Night in England and over here, it was thrown onto the Capitol LP, Something New.
Fricke continues his bias toward Paul by again highlighting All My Loving and She's a Woman virtually skipping over all of Lennon's great tunes except for Help. OK Fricke, with all due respect, get a room!😉 Do U need to be reminded that a team called Lennon AND McCartney co-wrote over 300 compositions. Did you know that in addition to each of them writing separately, and together, one or the other would almost always contribute something to a composition even if written 95% by either John or Paul. For instance, take a ballad like And I Love Her, a typical tune featuring a nice progression for the verses but John added the middle eight, "a love like ours, could never die" and I mean both music and lyrics. Take Michelle, another Paul ballad where the verses were his but John added the Nina Simone influenced section, "I love I love I love you...". Paul would add a middle eight to one of John's compositions like the middle eight to Day in the Life and vice versa or the harmonies on John's Norwegian Wood etc., that is WHY it was an historic collaboration.
As Paul has said on many occasions, it wasn't as simple as, "Paul writes the ballads and John writes the rockers", it was far more complex than the usual cliche statements and totally mixed. John could write melodic tunes like If I Fell, I'll Be Back, This Boy, No Reply, Across the Universe or sweet folk rock tunes like I'm a Loser or pure ballads like Girl, Julia or even Goodnight (sung by Ringo) or sophisticated tunes like The Word, Lucy in the Sky, Hey Bulldog, Happiness is a Warm Gun and so on where conversely Paul could write rockers like She's a Woman, Helter Skelter and I'm Down which demonstrates how co-equal they were in their ability to write any type of composition whether it was hard rock, folk, blues, or even ballads with jazz overtones.
So if one discounts David Fricke's totally unbalanced assessment of this live CD as if it were Paul McCartney and his 3 lackeys backing him up, a wholly erroneous account, then over all its a GREAT CD and absolutely worth finding a place in anyone's Beatles collection. I don't know about Fricke, but I DID see the Beatles live and will always treasure those memories. The Beatles were an intricate chemical mix, without John they would have been too saccharine with no edge, & no humor, without Paul they would have been a bit too harsh & uncompromising. John & Paul were the heart, brain and guts of the band, and that IS a fact:-)

5.0 out of 5 stars A long overdue and terrific release
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2016
Verified Purchase
On February 12, 1964, Capitol Records planned to record The Beatles' appearance at New York City's Carnegie Hall, but was denied permission by the American Federation Of Musicians (AFM), even though both non-union and foreign acts had played Carnegie Hall in the past. See Bruce Spizer's excellent book,  The Beatles Are Coming!: The Birth Of Beatlemania In America , for additional details.

With AFM permission granted, Capitol recorded The Beatles' concert at Los Angeles' Hollywood Bowl amphitheater on August 23, 1964. Capitol prepared acetates of the concert, but The Beatles and their manager, Brian Epstein, blocked the album's release, because of poor performance and sound quality. A year later, Capitol returned to The Hollywood Bowl and tried again, taping both the August 29 and 30, 1965 shows. The first show proved unusable because of a problem with Paul's vocal microphone. Again, The Beatles and Brian Epstein blocked the album's release. A 48-second excerpt of the 1964 Hollywood Bowl performance of "Twist And Shout" opened up Side Four of the Capitol documentary album,  The Beatles' Story  (Capitol (S)TBO-2222), which was reissued on CD in 2014 as part of  The U.S. Albums  box set, as well as  an individual CD in Japan . Over the years, purloined copies of Capitol's 1964 Hollywood Bowl acetate were acquired by bootleggers, and became the sources for various bootleg LPs (and, years later, CDs). The Bowl recordings had other uses as well; they were used to enhance the sound for some of the songs on the 1965 Shea Stadium concert film, where some of the Bowl crowd noise was also dubbed in. In addition, the version of "I Want To Hold Your Hand" featured in The Beatles'  Love (CD + Audio DVD)  is a mashup of the 1964 Hollywood Bowl recording (included as a bonus track on this CD) with the 1963 studio version; however, all that can be heard from the Bowl version is the crowd noise, with the studio version superimposed on top. Perhaps listeners with fancy 5.1 surround-sound equipment can discern parts of the live version in the LOVE remix.

In 1969, the 1964 Hollywood Bowl tapes were sent to EMI's Abbey Road Studios, with the 1965 tapes following two years later, in 1971. According to some sources, the tapes were given to Phil Spector to make a live album, which never appeared. How far Spector got with his work is unknown. After The Beatles' EMI contract expired in 1976, Capitol prepared an acetate of a double album that contained 20 songs from both the 1964 and 1965 concerts, omitting "Things We Said Today." But this album was also rejected. Finally, in January 1977, at the request of then-Capitol president Bhaskar Menon, producer George Martin and engineer Geoff Emerick prepared a 13-song LP, containing six songs from the 1964 show and seven songs from the 1965 shows (mostly from August 30, with a few edits from August 29). On May 4, 1977,  The Beatles At The Hollywood Bowl  (Capitol SMAS-11638; Parlophone EMTV 4) was finally released on vinyl, and topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic.

Up until now, the only Hollywood Bowl track released on CD was an outtake of "Baby's In Black," not found on the original LP, but issued on the 1996  Real Love  CD single. At the 2006 Fest For Beatles Fans in New Jersey, Bruce Spizer proposed that the Hollywood Bowl album be released on CD as part of a CAPITOL ALBUMS, VOLUME 3 box set, which would also have contained CD versions of the United Artists Records  A Hard Day's Night [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] (The U.S. Album) , Capitol's 1966 album  Yesterday And Today (The U.S. Album) , and Apple's 1970 compilation  Hey Jude (The U.S. Album) . This proposal was apparently rejected by EMI and Apple. Also apparently rejected were a proposed CAPITOL ALBUMS, VOLUME 4 box set, consisting of the theme albums  Rock 'N' Roll Music , Love Songs , the U.S.  Rarities  LP, and  Reel Music , as well as a 13-CD deluxe Capitol Albums box set (similar to the 2014 U.S. ALBUMS box set, except that the U.S. versions of SGT. PEPPER and MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR would have been included, rather than the U.A. A HARD DAY'S NIGHT and Apple's HEY JUDE).

Finally, in conjunction with the new Ron Howard documentary, THE BEATLES: EIGHT DAYS A WEEK - THE TOURING YEARS, the Hollywood Bowl concerts have been issued on CD. Remixed by Giles Martin (the late Sir George's son) from original three-track tapes newly acquired from the Capitol vaults, the new CD is superb. It contains the same 13 songs as the original 1977 album, plus four bonus tracks: "You Can't Do That" and "I Want To Hold Your Hand" from 1964, along with "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby" and "Baby's In Black" from 1965. The band is much more up-front, and the crowd noise less prominent, than on the 1977 album. "Baby's In Black" is the same August 30, 1965 performance as before, except that the 1996 single release is an edit of the intro from August 29, with the music from the 30th; the new CD uses the unedited version from August 30.

Four songs are missing from the concert CD: "If I Fell" from 1964, and "I Wanna Be Your Man," "I Feel Fine," and "I'm Down" from 1965. Other songs were performed both years. Apparently, Giles Martin felt that these four performances were sub-par, or maybe Capitol/UMe did not want to pay royalties on 21 songs. Personally, I would have issued a double CD containing the original 1977 album, the 1996 single version of "Baby's In Black," and the complete 1964 concert on Disc 1, with both 1965 concerts on Disc 2. But I'm greedy.

The booklet contains a nice essay by Rolling Stone's David Fricke, a reprint of George Martin's original sleeve notes from the 1977 vinyl LP, and many archival photos and Los Angeles Times news clippings, including one from 1964, which mentions a young 14-year-old Beatle fan named Natalie Cole. Natalie was a lifelong Beatle fan, and I'm sure she had the 1977 LP in her collection. Or maybe Nat "King" Cole had enough clout with Capitol to acquire one of the 1964 Hollywood Bowl acetates for his daughter. Sadly, Natalie did not live to hear this CD or see the new film, which she would have loved.

Pending Apple's approval, I would love to see Giles Martin restore the 1962 Hamburg Star-Club tapes. If he could do that, he would really be a genius.

Five stars for the CD. I have seen the movie in the theater, and it is excellent; I am looking forward to the deluxe two-disc DVD release on November 18, 2016 (I pre-ordered it from Amazon, and received it on November 18, 2016).
