I'm not sure vocal monitors were even invented until the early 70's.I’m not seeing stage monitors. If that’s true it’s even more impressive.
When I think of the Beatles, I think of White Album, Abbey Road, their later stuff that was way more sophisticated. However, it's like the band had two eras. This older stuff is rockin! amazing all of this was done in like 8 years. 1962-1970...or thereabouts. It's a lifetime of music. And nearly a song for anyone.
they never had them..hell I never used them either till 20 years go or soI’ve seen that one before. What an amazing recording and piece of history. In their prime, sounding great, and having fun.

Beatles were known for being very loud in rehearsal and in concert. Each generation of Vox amp was louder than the previuos one. They played amps full volume in concertIn "Them Olden Days" the so-called pa-system - aka vocal speakers - were placed back - not in front like today - also stage volume was VERY conservative compared to most of today's bands.
Wow, I can't believe I get to cite the same Spinal Tap reference 2 days in a row, that almost never happens...They played amps full volume in concert
Wow, check this out!
Great recording too and the crowd is not as crazy loud you can actually hear the instruments.
Paul's bass playing in 1964 was astoundingly good. All that while singing and leading songs. And Lennon's voice is so good!

Paul was a natural who could pick up most any instrument and own it. His bass playing introduced techniques that still resonate. And he's up there with the greats.It’s just amazing how relaxed and loose Paul is when playing and singing. His head must be on a spring.
