The Beatles to Release Famed Hollywood Bowl Concerts From 1964 and 1965

Fans of the Fab Four will have a new official live album to enjoy come September. Apple Corps Ltd. and Universal Music Group announced plans Wednesday to release 'The Beatles: Live at the Hollywood Bowl' on Sept. 9.

The 17-track compilation captures highlights from the three concerts the Beatles performed at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl in 1964 and 1965.

Some of the music on this fresh compilation was featured on the now out-of-print 1977 album 'The Beatles At The Hollywood Bowl'.

“The chaos, I might almost say panic, that reigned at these concerts was unbelievable unless you were there,” the Beatles’ longtime producer George Martin, who died this past March at age 90, said in the liner notes of that release.

But 'The Beatles: Live at the Hollywood Bowl' is newly remastered and sports four previously unreleased tracks, including performances of “You Can’t Do That” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” Martin’s son, Giles, has worked on recent Beatles remasters projects and detailed his work on this live album in a press release.

“Technology has moved on since my father worked on the material all those years ago,” he said. “Now there’s improved clarity, and so the immediacy and visceral excitement can be heard like never before.”

The album also comes with a 24-page booklet containing an essay by Rolling Stone journalist David Fricke.

'The Beatles: Live at the Hollywood Bowl' hits shelves and streaming a week before Ron Howard’s forthcoming documentary about the band’s early career, The Beatles: Eight Days A Week – The Touring Years, hits theaters Sept. 16. The film will notably arrive on Hulu the following day.

Howard produced the documentary with cooperation from Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, and it includes footage of the Hollywood Bowl concerts captured on the new live album.

The collection stands out because, despite their prolific and revered studio output, the Beatles have few official live releases. Various performances were captured in their contemporaneous films, the retrospective Anthology compilations, and the 1994 Live at the BBC collection, but the group stopped touring at the end of summer 1966, leaving little live material to draw on for such projects.
