Live: Empire Theatre, Liverpool - The Beatles' final Liverpool concerts

The Beatles' final two live concerts in Liverpool took place on this evening at the city's Empire Theatre.

The 2,550-seat venue could have sold out many times over; more than 40,000 applications were made for tickets, leaving many fans disappointed. However, none could have known that it would be The Beatles' last appearance in the city. It was the sixth occasion that the group had visited the venue.

The group invited many friends and relatives to see their performance. During the second show Paul McCartney joined The Koobas, one of the support acts, onstage to play drums during their version of Dizzy Miss Lizzy.

The Beatles performed 11 songs: I Feel Fine, She's A Woman, If I Needed Someone, Act Naturally, Nowhere Man, Baby's In Black, Help!, We Can Work It Out, Yesterday, Day Tripper and I'm Down.
