Twist & Shout by The Beatles

“Another song from The Fabs only appearance at the UK's Royal Command Performance in '63. At the time it was the biggest night in show-business! It includes a short clip of the press conference the band did before the show. It's also when John made his now famous song introduction to "Twist and Shout". It was a fairly controversial, certainly very mischievous thing to say in front of an audience like that. John had brooded on what to say during the show. “I was fantastically nervous,” he later recalled, “but I wanted to say something to rebel a bit.”That's why we love John!!!!”
