On January 12th 1964, the night after finishing a 16ndashnight run at London’ s Finsbury Park Astoria, the Beatles made their 2nd appearance on the prestigious Sunday Night At The London Palladium TV show performing a fivesong set. The following day they flew to Paris and on the 14th, they were on stage again playing a warmup show at the Cineacutema Cyrano in Versailles, ahead of an 18day residency at the Paris Olympia Theatre. Comparing French to English audiences, Paul commented at the time, ‘In England the audiences are seventyfive percent female. Here, seventyfive percent male. And thats the main difference, really. Because they still appreciate it, but you dont get the full noise and the atmosphere of a place. No screams. The sound quality of the French shows from ORTF radio and TV is excellent, but the London Palladium set, recorded direct off air, is poor.
