Episode 247: Classic Beatles Gigs: "Drop In" TV Show, Sweden, October 1963
Description
In this episode, we explore an early European gig the Beatles played in Stockholm, Sweden, on October 30, 1963. Their appearance on the TV show Drop In marked the final stop of their first Scandinavian tour. Unlike the frenzied crowds they would soon face, the audience was remarkably well-behaved, allowing the band’s performance to shine. The Beatles themselves seemed to be having a great time, and thanks to George’s faintly mic’d guitar, John’s rhythm playing comes through more clearly than ever. These performances highlight intricate musical details across the four songs they played. Watching the footage (link here) makes you wish there were more performances without screaming!
We finish with some of the latest Beatles news.
