Notes: For their only major TV appearance, as a group, since their April appearance on "Top of The Pops", The fabulous foursome travelled up
north to Blackpool and appeared on the hugely popular "Blackpool Night Out" entertainment TV program.
Their whole performance is still available with and without a time code.
Apart from an opening short comedy skit and Introduction by Ringo (both of which only exist as audio),
The Beatles performed six songs live to promote their new single, album and film Help!.
The songs performed were: "I Feel Fine"; "I`m Down"; "Act Naturally"; "Ticket To Ride"; "Yesterday" and "Help!".
Excerpts from their performance were used in "The Beatles Anthology" TV specials in 1995.
It seems that a home movie of their rehearsal was sold at Sothebys in 1996 but no actual proof has been found of its existence.
