Live At The Hollywood Bowl - The Beatles (SHM-CD, DigiSleeve, Remastered, Japan)

Description: Seller's Note: Back in 1977 Capitol in the U.S. and Parlophone in the U.K. released an LP entitled "The Beatles At The Hollywood Bowl". Capitol recorded the August 1964 concert, the two performances in 1965 and supplied George Martin with some masters. Try as he might however, and even though the album charted at #1 in the UK and #2 in the U.S., he was not able to release a recording that did any justice whatsoever to how The Beatles sounded in their touring prime. Capitol did a great job recording hysterically screaming girls, it's just too bad one can't hear the group in any cohesive fashion.Capitol Records to the rescue. Capitol Records? The very same record company which refused to release any Beatle singles until Ed Sullivan forced Capitol's International A & R man Dave Dexter Jr. to release "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" We'll save the discussion as to how Dave "Dexterized" The Beatles' American LP's for another review. Yes Beatle aficionados, Capitol called Producer Giles Martin, son of the late Sir George Martin CBE, and stated they had discovered additional three-track masters of the concerts in the vault. When Giles and his team listened to the tapes they realized that finally they had something to work with.In '65, The Beatles spent a week in a rented home in Benedict Canyon. Besides getting some needed rest and soaking in the Southern California vibe, Col. Parker invited the boys to meet their boyhood hero Elvis Presley at his pad in Bel Air. From everything this reviewer has read, the historic meeting of Rock & Roll Gods left a bit to be desired although the boys politely invited Elvis over for a visit of which he never took advantage.The purpose of this background info is to inform that The Beatles decided amongst themselves that they would give their all during the two successive night gigs at The Bowl. They were determined to show Hollywood just how good of a group they were.The disc itself combines three different shows, the '64 as well as the two in '65. It must be said that Giles and his crew have put together the definitive live Beatle concert that fans have wanted for 50 years. The vocals are clear, the harmonies delightful, both guitars work together in tandem as Ringo provides the back-beat and Paul the bottom end. In other words, the fidelity is a revelation. The girls are screaming but even with no stage monitors, using mid-sixties recording technology and of course, no Beatle is wearing headphones, the group delivers the goods in spades. Nine of the 17 tracks are from the '65 shows one of them being "A Hard Day's Night". Many of us grew up with the single or LP version. Just wait till you hear John's vocal and the band rock their way through this number. It's almost as if the official version is actually an outtake. Oh yes, The Beatles showed all the Hollywood hip cats and chics who the real best Rock and Roll Band in the world was.
