Set 1:
1. Introduction
2. Twist and shout
3. You can’t do that – first sign of a funny show. During the solo, the vocals come a little late on the fourth ‘you can’t do that’
4. Paul intro, 1,2,3,4,5 count-in
5. All my loving – very inspired vocals at the end
6. John intro – “She loves YOU”
7. She loves you – John and Paul: pure energy! In the end there’s a loud laugh from John
8. George intro
9. Things we said today – Paul forgets the lyrics and improvises “…be my one and only, yes you say oh my”. More laughs during the song… this time, Paul
10. Roll over Beethoven – George’s guitar and vocals are sheer heart attack – what a show! One of the most best versions ever …
11. M.C.’s warning to the crowd – “…two kids crushed… everybody down or no show…”
12. Paul intro…
13. Can’t buy me love – a rock’n’roll thunder! Again laughs, and great guitar licks
14. John intro
15. If I fell –Paul is so crazy that he doesn’t care anymore… he actually sings some parts totally out of key
16. Paul intro
17. Boys – Paul, again starts quite off key the second backing vocals part. You can hear John’s laughing like calling Paul’s attention. Later, in the second part after the solo, John, off the mike, starts doing ‘be-bop-a-lula’. Paul comes loud with the ‘be-bop-a-lula’ stuff, all of them cheering a lot.
18. John intro, interrupted by Derek Taylor, threatening the audience to cut short the show
19. John intro
20. A hard day’s night – a tight version
21. Paul intro
22. Long tall Sally – Great guitar solos! A great end to a great show, unfortunately so short, as it was common back in the early 60’s.

23.– 43. – Hollywood Bowl, August 23, 1964 – listed as Chicago, September 5 – sounds like a radio broadcast (in some of the tracks the sound comes and goes, like someone is tuning the dial) – very scratchy Lp source.

44. BONUS: Vancouver Press Conference – Very funny stuff!
