The Beatles

I had a look and there's one from "with the Beatles" which should be an easy one to guess....

I was watching The Beatles at The BBC on Saturday night, which was ace, and it struck me how little footage of them playing live actually exists, which is a massive shame. Obviously there is loads of footage of them on Top of the Pops, but it said during the show that they only actually ever played live on it once in their whole career.

I was amused watching Ringo clearly bored out of his tree while miming mind. I never realised until I watched it how funny he was in interviews either.
