A blowout showstopper from the Fab Four. They closed their concerts for years with Paul shouting this Little Richard rocker, including their last-ever live paying gig at Candlestick Park. Video is from a '64 Dutch TV show, but there aren't any closeups of Ringo - because he wasn't there! He developed tonsillitis less than 24 hours before the boys kicked off their first world tour, which included this TV appearance. Brian Epstein and George Martin brought in Jimmie Nicol as a substitute on one day's notice. Jimmie was a Beatle for 10 days, doing shows in Denmark, the Netherlands, Hong Kong and Australia until Ringo rejoined the band in Melbourne.
