Live at the Hollywood Bowl LP

Album Details

The Beatles Live At The Hollywood Bowl is a new album that captures the joyous exuberance of the band's three sold-out concerts at Los Angeles' Hollywood Bowl in 1964 and 1965 and serves as companion to The Beatles: Eight Days A Week - The Touring Years, Academy Award-winner Ron Howard's authorized and highly anticipated documentary feature film about the band's early career.

Documenting The Beatles' Hollywood Bowl concerts on tape was no easy feat, as producer Sir George Martin explained in his album notes for 1977's The Beatles At The Hollywood Bowl: "The chaos, I might almost say panic, that reigned at these concerts was unbelievable unless you were there. Only three track recording was possible; The Beatles had no ‘fold back' speakers, so they could not hear what they were singing, and the eternal shriek from 17,000 healthy, young lungs made even a jet plane inaudible."

While The Beatles Live At The Hollywood Bowl references the long out of print 1977 album, it is an entirely new release, directly sourced from the original three track tapes of the concerts. To preserve the excitement of the shows while unveiling the performances in today's best available clarity and quality, Grammy Award winning producer Giles Martin and Grammy Award winning engineer Sam Okell have expertly remixed and mastered the recordings at Abbey Road Studios, including the thirteen tracks from the original album produced by Giles' father, plus four additional, previously unreleased recordings from the momentous concerts.
