On August 25, 1963, The Beatles performed at the ABC Theatre in Blackpool, Lancashire, marking their sixth concert in the city within a span of two months. This particular performance was part of a series of shows held at either the ABC Theatre or the Queen's Theatre on Sunday nights between July and September 1963.
It was the fourth of five shows that The Beatles played at the ABC Theatre in Blackpool. The concerts were introduced by actor Jack Douglas, adding a touch of showbiz to the events.
Notably, a three-minute silent 8mm film of The Beatles' performance from this concert was auctioned in February 2015. This film, believed to be the earliest known color footage of the group, was shot by Chas McDevitt, a skiffle singer who was also on the bill at the ABC Theatre that night.
This concert was yet another opportunity for fans to experience The Beatles' energetic live performances during the height of Beatlemania, further cementing their reputation as one of the most iconic bands in music history.
