The Beatles - Live: Convention Hall Wisdom

Label: Purple Chick, PC-167/68

September 1964 - April 1965

The sixth volume in our overview of The Beatles' live career finishing off their first U.S. tour and bringing us to the end of 1964, plus an orphan show from 1965 (there won't be room for it next volume!)

As always, some shows already sounded great (like Indianapolis), our proprietary audio equalization and clean-up system made some significant improvements to others (like Philadelphia) while some shows were really beyond redemption (like Montreal).
