The Beatles press conference Adelaide 1964

It starts with raw film footage of the Beatles arriving at the airport (no audio) and then continues with the press conference itself (with audio!) Ringo is absent due to tonsilitis so Jimmie Nichol has stepped in to play drums. Apologies for the bits where it goes weird. This is from a U-Matic tape which appears to be a copy of a master tape (2 inch??) containing a transfer of the original 16mm film. The person who did the dub from 2 inch to U-Matic has fast-forwarded through some parts (grrr!) so I've slowed down the footage to normal speed as best I can in those areas. It's not perfect however, and the audio quality suffered, so I've inserted audio from another source in those spots. The reel ends with an somewhat eerie comment by John. They would have had the fate of JFK in mind during the discussion.

UPDATE I have uploaded a new edit with more than two minutes of extra footage thanks to YouTube channel vk3ase!..
