Hey Steve

Your partly wrong, one song "Baby's in Black was released on the CD single "Real Love". I was at the 64 Hollywood Bowl show and what I remember was that my friends and I spent more time in the parking lot taking about the show than the Beatles actually spent on stage. No one cared about the opening act, we were just happy to be at this fabulous happening. A night I will alway remember. As far as Apple releasing the show on CD..... LOL

Unfortunately, The Beatles Live at The Hollywood Bowl is probably one of the better sounding live shows that were doccumented. They all sound pretty awful to me. The technology wasn't there yet to capture a good sounding recording of a live performance, not with that many people screeming at the top of their lungs.

Downloadable bootlegs from these and other concerts are pretty easy to find, or at least easier than acquiring secondhand vinyl copies and hooking up a turntable. With a little searching, an mp3 version of the "Complete Hollywood Bowl Concerts" is available for free download. Given the original recording's poor quality, you don't really miss anything listening to an mp3 version of 128k or more. A lot of other TV/radio appearances and concert bootlegs can also be found rather easily. Listening to more complete bootleg recordings provides a better sense of the hysteria than any official releases currently available. With a little bit of searching anyone can hear these now without the exorbitant cost or hassle of dealing with secondhand and bootleg sellers.

Oh my sweet lord, not the Beatles again. It's all too much. Let it be already -- all things must pass, even if it makes you cry baby cry. Is that something you can do, Steve? If not, please please me and tell me why. Although I've got a feeling you've no reply.

I am listening right now to The Beatles Live at The BBC ...I love this collection and listen to it more then any other Beatles recording.I love them live,a very spirited band, that at times was captured in the studio,
but hardly enough. There's also the Beatles at Shea Stadium that's I have some where, that's a decent
live recording as well.

You can go onto Amazon and search this and several offer the cd as an import (from Germany I think). Pricing is not high, I just received mine.

I have this album on cassette... the band sounds rushed, the crowd is incessantly screaming, and the recording quality is marginal. Who cares about this LP? it stinks.

Oh boy, remasters. I'm sure the levels will all be cranked to 11, and the songs will all be brick-walled from start to finish. Ah, the joys of modern production.
