Blackpool Night Out

Much press criticism ensued from Brian Epstein’s decision that The Beatles should make only this one TV appearance to promote their new single.

Miles, Barry. The Beatles Diary Volume 1: The Beatles Years (Kindle Locations 5268-5269). Music Sales. Kindle Edition.

From Anthology 2 liner notes:

Four songs taken from the six performed by the Beatles on the British television show Blackpool Night Out, broadcast live to the nation on summer Sunday evenings from the northern seaside resort. It was the group’s second and last appearance on the programme. The sequence comprises I Feel Fine, the A-side of the single that had held the number one spot at Christmas 1964, Ticket To Ride, number one at Easter 1965, the first stage performance of Yesterday, already beginning to attract attention beyond its unheralded placement as the thirteenth track of the Beatles’ latest album, and the first stage performance of Help! – the title of that new album, the Beatles’ new film and new 45.
