Another Beatles Christmas Show • Night 9 • 8:45pm

This was the ninth night of “Another Beatles Christmas Show,” which ran from December 24, 1964, to January 16, 1965. Rather than a traditional concert, the production took the form of a holiday-season variety show, blending short comedy sketches (with the Beatles acting in humorous vignettes), with performances by other artists from Brian Epstein’s management roster. Each performance concluded with a short live set by The Beatles.

On this ninth evening, two consecutive performances were given — the first at 6:15 pm and the second at 8:45 pm.

My parents took me and my brother to “Another Beatles Christmas Show” at the Hammersmith Odeon on Monday 4th January 1965 as a special treat. My dad knew Dick James’ accountant, which is how I think he got the tickets. We had a great view, but all I remember is the non-stop screaming was totally deafening. We could hardly hear the band, which isn’t surprising as Vox AC30 amps and a 100-watt PA system don’t carry too far in big venues.
