Sounds great. I guess this would be promoting the 50th anniversary of the Beatles in the USA

I like the sound of this but I have a gut feeling ( or it could be my craxy stomach at the moment...) that this is sort of like something to make us forget that let it be still hasn't been released after 50 years....

Did you see my posting on The Beatles being honored by the Grammys on CBS in February 2014?

yes, I did. Looks like 2014 will be a good year to be a Beatles fan
Although they could release the Washington concert from 1964 from their first visit that would be nice too. -
I wonder if this is them salvaging the abortion-of-a-project that was that whole Beatles Live! thing (which wasn't Apple, but sanctioned by Apple) last year?
-
This is the same project . It's a fairly long term thing meant to be.

Concerts are definitely one of the areas of Beatles history which have not been explored enough. There have to be many hours of decent soundboard recordings, tapes and film footage which could be released. Obviously there is the Washington DC show and Shea Stadium. Tokyo '66 is also well known. But I've heard fantastic boots of Paris '65 and San Francisco '66. Between the U.S. Tours of '64-'66 and all the U.K. concerts there have to be other great performances. Surely Live at the Hollywood Bowl isn't the only live Beatles' album that's ever going to be available. There has to be a way Apple can pull this stuff together for some official releases.

It would be great to get video and audio of the available Beatles concerts. I've searched youtube for Beatles live footage and some are really good. It would make a great boxset. The Beatles as a live act is greatly under appreciated. They weren't as bad live as it has been made out to be.

^not at all, especially in the earlier years ('63-'65) but even '66 isn't so bad once they warmed up on tour. I listened to the Candlestick Park '66 gig this past weekend and for the most part, it was quite good.

The afternoon show at the Budokan in Japan 1966 was atrocious. The evening show was better. The problem there was that they could actually be heard playing! (no constant screaming)
