Notes: The Beatles hadn`t been to Hamburg since 1 January 1963, following their final residency at the city`s Star-Club venue.
On this day, however, they were greeted as conquering heroes by an adoring crowd.

They arrived at Hamburg`s central train station soon after 6am, and were taken to the grand Schloss Hotel in Tremsbuttel, just
outside the city. They slept until 1.30pm, then waved to the fans gathered underneath the hotel balcony.

The Beatles played two shows at the city`s Ernst Merck Halle on Jungtusstrasse, each of which was seen by 5,600 people. A press
conference was held between the sets. Forty-four people were arrested for rioting during the shows, both inside and outside the venue.

This is black & white police film of the Beatles arrival, concert & leaving Hamburg & also briefly seen is the Beatles arrival
for the concert & leaving their hotel heading for the airport.

The concert footage is mostly snippets of songs intercut with a ton of crowd screaming.
