"Shout" is from a show called Around The Beatles - so called because the Beatles are performing with the audience (of screaming girls!) all around them - the title is derived from the Shakespearian tradition of performing plays 'in the round'. Also appearing on the show were Long John Baldry, Sounds Incorporated and, making his very first appearance on British TV, PJ Proby! The show, filmed at Wembley Studios London, was broadcast on 28th April 1964 and gives the impression that they are performing live - they are not! They actually recorded their songs on 19th April at IBC studios, Portland Place, London, and mimed to them on the show! The set list of the show is as follows: Twist And Shout Roll Over Beethoven I Wanna Be Your Man Long Tall Sally Medley: Love Me Do/Please Please Me/From Me To You/She Loves You/I Want To Hold Your Hand Can't Buy Me Love Shout Shout (an Isley Brothers hit from 1959) is actually Shout part 2, which was the b-side of Shout - the bit where it goes "a little bit louder now...". Four of the tracks (without screams!) appear on the Anthology One CD - I Wanna Be Your Man, Long Tall Sally, Boys and an edited version of Shout (George's bit is cut short on Anthology). The only full length version of Shout is from the actual show, which has quite bad audio as well as being smothered in screams! There was a video available of this performance some years ago - however, this did not feature the legendary Shakesperian sketch introduction. The video was called (rather confusingly!) The Beatles Live Ready Steady Go Special Edition. It was released in 1985 by DCI (Dave Clark International) & Picture Music. I do have the full version from the show, which as I said is not great quality, but I'll upload it for you if you're still interested. The full show, including the sketches, Long John Baldry and PJ Proby etc is available on this bootleg.

... The show, filmed at Wembley Studios London, was broadcast on 28th April 1964 and gives the impression that they are performing live - they are not! They actually recorded their songs on 19th April at IBC studios, Portland Place, London, and mimed to them on the show!... I've often wondered - when something is "mimed" like this, does the audience hear the group sing live, but then it's just overdubbed with a studio version for the record? Or does the group just move their mouth and pretend to play guitar but make no sound? That 2nd option seems really weird. Especially for the drummer - he can't make any drum hits?

If you watch some old TV footage, not just of The Beatles, the drummer actually doesn't hit the drums!! A lot of the time, the drums themselves were dampened down and the drummer hit the air just above the cymbals - this evident on some of the Beatle TV broadcasts.
With regard to vocals and instrumentation, miming just means the mics and amps aren't on during a performance - even till recent times, the actual track was simply fed to the stage area and the artists just sang and played along with it. But with no amplification, little if any of the actual "performance" would have picked up by the audience mics for broadcast. It's like singing along to a song in a nightclub!

That just seems wrong I think I would have been miffed to see Ringo playing "air drums" ...

Thank you very much for the info The End! I actually saw the Shout video at Wembley Studios a weeks ago, and quality is awful, I agree haha The reason why I wanted another version is because I'm looking foward to playing it with my band. Somehow I feel that the song contains a lot of energy, as Long Tall Sally... that's why we are thing about playing both.

Your welcome I'd have loved to hear The Beatles doing Shout parts 1 & 2 - there is a full length version of The Isley Brothers doing it though, and Lulu recorded a sort of combination of the two in her hit from 1965. Good luck with your rehearsals - please post your version for us when you're ready for it to be heard by the general public

I will...(if we ever record it) We're starting with our own stuff now... But we should record some cover songs, just like the chaps did in their first records
