Notes: Although they famously performed on the rooftop of Apple in January 1969, 1 May 1966 was The Beatles final scheduled live appearance in Britain.

It was their fourth appearance at the New Musical Express Annual Poll-Winners All-Star Concert, which took place at the Empire
Pool in Wembley, London. The Beatles performed before an audience of 10,000.

The Beatles played a 15-minute set which included five songs: "I Feel Fine", "Nowhere Man", "Day Tripper", "If I Needed Someone", and "I`m Down".

Although ABC TV was filming the concert, Brian Epstein failed to reach an agreement over terms, so the cameras were turned off
while The Beatles performed. The group were, however, filmed receiving their poll awards.
