The Beatles live on Swedish TV 'Drop ~In' 1963. 

Probably the last time they were this up close with an audience.

Lucky buggers those girls were! I wonder if they could speak a word of English?!  

Songs preformed: She Loves You, Twist And Shout, I Saw Her Standing There, Long Tall Sally.

Paul loving the camera as usual. 

John - I think this is the most animated I have seen him especially in the last half of the video. 

George doing his thing. 

and Ringo hammering hard!   

Love it when they shove the guy away and do another song, his face was awesome.

The audience was so close to The Beatles that legs on the ones in front of The Beatles touched the microphones!

When the last of the two songs were finished the sound engineers had to began to switch down the sound to complete the show with the signature track.  

When the boys arrived back at their hotel they were very tired, but not too tired to continue playing. The rumours say that they continued to play at the Continental Hotel for yet another hour. Amongst the songs they were supposed to play you could have heard 'If I Had A Hammer'!
