Clips, TV Shows and Live Appearances 1963 - 1966 This DVD features some rare and enjoyable clips from the early days of The Beatles. It also features a lot of promos and musical clips readily available on other DVD's.
I didn't really notice one stand-out section for me that said this is an essential purchase ...

| 7 | Jimmy Nicol Rehearsal | 3rd June 1964 At Abbey Road Ringo collapsed during a morning photo session for Saturday Evening Post in Barnes and was taken to University College Hospital suffering from acute tonsillitis and pharyngitis, requiring complete rest and quiet. With The Beatles due to leave on a world tour the next morning, a substitute drummer was urgently required. George Martin suggested Jimmy Nicol, who suddenly found himself as a temporary member of the most famous group on Earth. The Beatles cancelled a recording session and spent the time at Abbey Road rehearsing with Jimmy Nicol instead. This short footage clearly shows a very nervous Mr. Nicol |
