Beatles’ first US gig to be screened in cinemas
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 26 April 2012
Full footage of The Beatles’ first gig in the US is to be screened as part of a new documentary about the show, ‘The Beatles: The Lost Concert’.
Filmed at The Washington Coliseum in 1964, the twelve song, 30 minute set was originally recorded to be shown in cinemas, viewed by around two million Americans in March the same year. The footage was then lost, but was recently rediscovered and remastered by Screenvision, the company which has produced the new documentary.
The film will be premiered at the Ziegfield Theater in New York on 6 May, and will be screened in cinemas across America from 17-22 May. No word yet on a UK release.
