Notes: Following the success of The Beatles Christmas Show in December 1963 and early 1964, Brian Epstein decided the group should repeat the trick, this time at the Hammersmith Odeon in London.

The show opened with The Mike Cotton Sound`s performance of Georgie Fame`s current single Yeh Yeh, before singer Michael Haslam joined them to sing Scarlet Ribbons.

The Yardbirds took to the stage next, followed by a pantomime sketch featuring The Beatles dressed as Antarctic explorers
searching for the Abominable Snowman. They reportedly grew to hate this section so much that they vowed never to undertake
anything similar again. The first half closed with Freddie And The Dreamers performing Rip It Up, Bachelor Boy and Cut Across Shorty.

Elkie Brooks opened the second half, followed by a short set from Sounds Incorporated. Jimmy Savile then introduced The Beatles,
who closed the show with performances of 11 songs: "Twist And Shout", "I`m A Loser", "Baby`s In Black", "Everybody`s Trying
To Be My Baby", "Can`t Buy Me Love", "Honey Don`t", "I Feel Fine", "She`s A Woman", "A Hard Day`s Night", "Rock And Roll Music" and "Long Tall Sally".

It is said that some home movie from this concert is in the hands of collectors.
