Notes: 25 August 1963 saw The Beatles’ sixth concert in Blackpool, Lancashire within two months. They performed a series of
shows at either the ABC Theatre or the Queen’s Theatre on Sunday nights between July and September 1963.

A three-minute silent 8mm film of The Beatles performance was auctioned in February 2015. Believed to be the earliest known
colour footage of the group, it was shot by Chas McDevitt, a skiffle singer who was also on the bill at the ABC Theatre.

Footage shows The Beatles performing on stage with close-ups of Ringo playing and singing as well as John, Paul and George
playing and singing including close-ups of John smiling at the camera and doing an impromptu soft-shoe dance.

An exact setlist for this date could not be found but the unsynced songs on these DVDs seem to be:
From Me To You 0:00
I Saw Her Standing There 0:09
Boys 0:49
Twist and Shout 1:18
From Me To You (reprise) 1:55
