THE BEATLES / ON TOUR IN CANADA THE NORTH AMERICAN TOUR 1964 III (1CD+1DVD)

The latest release in the Live Archive Collection series, which brings together audio and video recordings of The Beatles' historic live shows, is "On Tour in Canada," Vol. 3 of their record-breaking 1964 North American tour! This collection includes the Vancouver performance on August 22, 1964, known as a soundboard recording by a radio station, as well as surviving live recordings from the Toronto performance on September 7 and the Montreal performance on the following day. The Vancouver performance, in particular, is a legendary concert in a stadium that seats over 20,000 people, where the performance was interrupted twice due to the overwhelming crowd's overwhelming enthusiasm. This DVD also includes additional recordings of the live radio broadcast in addition to the Vancouver performance, and rare footage from the Toronto and Montreal shows makes this the definitive latest release in the series, compiling the audio and video recordings of the Canadian performances from the 1964 North American tour! [Collector's Point]
The CD includes the August 22, 1964 Vancouver concert, a soundboard recording from the 1964 tour known to collectors as a radio broadcast soundboard recording since the analog era. Along with the 1964 Hollywood Bowl concert, this is one of the most iconic live recordings from this period, and is recorded in the best quality thanks to a newly remastered release. The September 7 Toronto concert, while an audience recording at the time, presents a somewhat difficult sound quality, but also includes the radio recording of "Twist and Shout," making its first appearance. The Montreal concert, also unearthed as a radio recording, is noteworthy for its incomplete sound quality. The DVD includes rare news footage and extant live footage from the Toronto and Montreal concerts, including the 50th anniversary broadcast of "The Beatles in Canada." Additionally, audio recordings of the press conference and live radio broadcasts, complete with still images, are included. This is a highly recommended collector's item with a soundboard sound source CD and a DVD with a total of 100 minutes of recording.
