The Beatles - Shea!/Candlestick Park [ Reviews ] [ Want lists ] [ Trade lists ] [ Add to my trade/want list ]

Comments Boxed edition with 44 page booklet or standard edition with 4 page booklet. Tracks 1-10 Shea Stadium 15 Aug 1965 Tracks 11-21 Candlestick Park 29 Aug 1966 Candlestick Park recorded with Tony Barrows audio cassette recorder (with a C-60 cassette), so the last track is incomplete.
"The audio tapes [of Shea Stadium performance] revealed not only musical flaws on The Beatles' part but also technical imperfections caused by the sheer size of the venue, the high-decibel screaming and the less than state-of-the-art mobile recording equipment around in 1965. To have screened unaltered usch a high-profile film on peak-time television would have done the group a disservice.
So it was that, amid some secrecy, the Beatles came to CTS studios in central London this day, to 'sweeten' the soundtrack, by whatever means necessary, of their production film 'The Beatles At Shea Stadium'.
The session began with Paul only, overdubbing new bass tracks onto DIZZY MISS LIZZY, CAN'T BUY ME LOVE, BABY'S IN BLACK and I'M DOWN. Onto this latter song John also overdubbed a new organ track.
More drastic repair work was then effected by the group as a whole, with entirely new recordings completed for two songs: I FEEL FINE (done at George Martin's specific request) and HELP!. The Beatles strove to re-create a live-concert sound with these recordings rather than their more typical EMI studio feel, and they also had to match carefully their singing and playing with the on-screen images, hence the use of CTS, the premier audio-to-film dubbing studio in London.
To fix ACT NATURALLY [not available here] the Beatles did nothing: the film post-production team merely replaced the Shea Recording with the Beatles' disc version, syncing it to the pictures by means of audience cutaways and even, in places, cuts the music (Intentionnaly or otherwise, one moment - where Ringo's vocal is evident but his mouth is closed - was left in the film uncorrected).
Documentation also suggests that John wished to record a new version of TICKET TO RIDE and that it was done during this CTS session but close study of the film indicates that the original Shea version was used (although perhaps a little instrumental overdubbing was effected).
Additionnally, George Martin desired a new recording of TWIST AND SHOUT but there wasn't time for that. Instead, the post-production team used the unreleased 30 Aug 1965 Hollywood Bowl concert recodring to bolster the sound, causing - in one place - John's live vocal to be double-tracked.
In fact, the Bowl recording was used extensively [...] for recordings of the screaming audience, especially on the two all-new London recordings.
No doctoring appears to have been done to either SHE'S A WOMAN or EVERYBODY'S TRYING TO BE MY BABY [not available here]". (Lewisohn, 1992)

Reviews| Review by: Brad Parker, parker304@hotmail.com | On 12 Jul 2001 |  | As one who is primarily concerned with the historical aspect of both shows, this is an outstanding collection.
The Candlestick portion (for those of you who are not familiar with the tape) is exceedingly poor. Not only is the audio very lacking, but the performance is just as substandard. It is obvious in listening to this show that they were ready to stop touring. They sound tired and distracted. Nevertheless, it is an essential addition to any collection as it is the fabled last show. (For those interested in the '66 set list for audiofile purposes, I would recommend "Five Nights in a Judo Arena," as there is virtually no crowd noise and it is overall an excellent recording.)
The Shea show may be full of technical tweaks, but it is essentially the show as it was performed that night. When you compare the CD to the film, the difference is minimal at best. Shea was an outstanding performance by Beatles standards (keep in mind they had no monitors), and the one about which they still speak of as being the height of Beatlemania.
This CD reveals the extreme highs and lows of Beatlemania. Any serious collector with an eye on the history of the band would do well to add this to their collection. |
| Review by: Kurt Max, kurtmax@mediaone.net | On 05 Dec 2001 |  | Shea is quite crisp and clear. The performance is the stuff Beatlemania is made of! Candlestick Park sound quality is quite a few steps away from pristine but still listenable (a bit muffled but no crunchy distortion). I think I heard a story that the band themselves actually had someone stick a tape recorder by the stage for them to document their last gig. The performance sounded a little strange. Just to hear them do old songs like "Baby's In Black' and "I Wanna Be Your Man" 2 months before creating songs like "Strawberry Fields Forever" is a real heavy trip. A 'MUST HAVE' cd! |
| Review by: vigotone | On 03 Feb 2002 at 11:08 CEST |  | For years, I'd been avoiding this title due to the negative comments about the sound quality of the Candlestick Park show. Well, I finally got a copy of this CD, and only have this to say:
Forget what you've read in the past - the Candlestick show's sound quality isn't that bad! In fact, it's *better* than I thought it would be!
Sure, it's not a soundboard recording and it's not going to sound as good as the Hollywood Bowl shows, but to my ears, it felt like I could have been standing next to the stage (over by Paul, as his bass is heard pretty prominently)! (Tony Barrow's cassette recorder must have been sitting on the stage near Paul.) It sounds better than any audience recording could sound (For real torture, try listening to the Seattle concert on the Spank release "Atlanta*Munich*Seattle"!)
I also must disagree with the person who felt the Candlestick concert was of poor performance quality. The Beatles know that this is IT! Like a marathon runner putting on a little more gas right before the finish line, the Beatles pick it up a notch! Paul sounds in particularly fine form when he starts into "Long Tall Sally". Unfortunately, the tape soon ends and we don't get to hear the Beatles end their final concert....
I thought I'd only want to listen to this concert only for its historical value. I figured I'd never bother to play it again. Well, I've listened to the Candlestick Park concert a few times now and I've enjoyed it each time! Obviously the recording isn't going to win any awards from audiophiles, but if you want to hear a good example of one of their 1966 concerts, this is a fine place to start!
The Shea Stadium concert is OK to watch on TV, but since the songs were re-recorded, overdubbed, and taken from other sources, merely listening to the concert on this CD isn't all that it's cracked up to be.
Buy this CD for the Candlestick concert! You'll be glad you did! |
| Review by: Marten Regtop | On 03 Feb 2002 at 12:57 CEST |  | In one of the reviews is stated that they sound tired during the Candelstick performance. Well you can't say that about Paul McCartney. He sounds very energetic to me. Actually his incredible singing saves the whole performance. Thank God that this was recorded. Spank records made a good job out of it because it is not easy to make Shea listenable if ever this Shea concert is listenable at all. But it's a document so I think Spank desevers a ten with it.

| Review by: Sneaky Pete | On 03 Dec 2002 at 13:01 CEST |  | It seems strange after hearing so many people saying that CP was the sound of a band in its 'live' death throes to find out that actually they sounded rather good that night. John & George do sound tired and a tad bored when introducing songs like "I Feel Fine" etc. But aside from that and the odd fluffed vocal here and there, it was a great finale to an awful world tour. Perhaps they saved the best to last knowing that after that gig it would be all over - live-wise that is.
Sound quality too is rather good overall! An essential boot! |
| Review by: kurtmax | On 13 Apr 2004 at 02:55 CEST |  | | Very good! Historic and exciting. I'm glad to have this one! |
