the Beatles' Paris concert, 1965

Found this on YouTube, of course. It's a clip from the concert I attended in June 1965 in the Palais des Sports, Paris, detailed in the memoir. I've actually looked for myself, but I think this is of the evening concert when I was way off to the side. You can see that most of the audience is boys, and how staid they look! Enthusiasm but not the insane screaming of other places - you can actually hear the music and how tight they are as a band. And how incredibly low-tech and primitive it all looks. This is Carl Perkins at his best. No John visible at all, unfortunately.

I'll stop this mad posting now, I promise. But it's fun to be back with working internet.
