"Twist And Shout" #2 4/4/1964

On 2/11/1963 the Beatles recorded 10 songs in a marathon 13-hour session for their first UK album. This one was saved for last, since at their live shows, the song would usually shred John's voice. They nailed this in one take, which was good, since they tried a second take and John's vocal cords gave out. Immortalized in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Clip is from the 1963 Royal Variety Show where John famously admonished those down front to rattle their jewelry.
