Unseen Beatles footage emerges
The Beatles
And it can be seen online
Exclusive never-before-seen footage of The Beatles is released today (August 1).
The material was filmed by the Fab Four's former roadie Mal Evans and has been hidden for decades.
The clips include secret concert footage as well as revealing private conversations and personal exchanges within the band. The historic footage includes live concert performances, also the Fab Four chatting as the travel down the Thames on a boat, and the band riding down London’s Park Lane in a car with their friends and rivals The Beach Boys.
Other footage uncovered includes Rolling Stones legend Charlie Watts discussing the cult of celebrity, years before such a phenomenon was ever recognised, and live recordings of Jimi Hendrix playing in front of The Beatles.
MBop has now released the material and has made some clips available for download at the MBopMegastore.com, reformatted and restored.
Evans was shot dead in 1976. His widow Lily discovered the cine footage in their attic before selling them at Christie's auction house.
The private owners have licensed the footage exclusively to MBop, but you can see a preview on NME.COM now. Simply head to The Beatles artist page and launch the media player.
