Beatles Cavern August 1962 B roll film synched to the songs they were playing

We all know the famous historical film of The Beatles playing ‘Some Other Guy’ at The Cavern in August 1962, but did you know that the B roll shot for that film was taken from performances of other songs? Now someone has taken the time to try and match up that B-roll film with their best guesses as to what the Fabs were singing at that moment, giving as a wider glimpse into what the full show was like. Enjoy!

 

well, that was fun.

 

Very cool and nice work with the sound sync. Too bad it's chopped us so much. Was the B-roll really that cut up, or maybe there was originally more but this is what's survived, that's still usable? Be interesting to know more about this..

 

Nice…thanks.

 

thanks! I enjoyed that very much...

 

That was very well done.

 

Great job!

 

Very cool!

 

If that was from August 1962 they were already veterans of the venue.
"The group’s lunchtime shows typically lasted from 12-2pm. This was their 218th appearance overall at the underground venue on Mathew Street, including evening shows. In the evening they gave their 93rd late performance at the Cavern."

Nicely done and great to see. Would be perhaps even more fun to watch if they let longer portions of each song play out, freezing the frame for the segments for which there is no video.

 

Very cool, loved it. Thanks for posting.

Bring on the Fab 4 Avatars. (I'm not joking).

 

This was great. Are all of these shots edited into the Some Other Guy film?
