Beatles Rarity Of The Week – If I Fell, Live In Philadelphia, 1964

Welcome to the Beatles Rarity of the Week. It's no secret that The Beatles summer 1964 tour of the U.S. was a tremendous success and the shows at Philadelphia's Convention Hall were no exception. There was an afternoon and evening show and fortunately a recording of the evening show survives. Apparently it was simulcast by radio station WIBG giving us one of the few decent soundboard recordings of The Beatles touring days. John's guitar might be mixed a bit too loud but the vocals are up front and the music isn't completely drowned out by the screaming. This was one of the first concerts to be bootlegged, appearing on the Live At Whiskey Flats LP in fairly good quality. As a follow-up to last week's BROW, where I posted the original composing tape of John Lennon's If I Fell, I've opted to feature a live account of the song where John and Paul have somewhat of a giggling fit while singing it. A special thanks goes out to Facebook subscriber Ric Serrano, for mentioning this recording to me and giving me the idea to include it this week. Check it out here.
