"The Beatles: The Lost Concert" will have its world premiere at New York's Ziegfeld Theater on May 6, followed by limited-engagement theatrical showings nationwide on May 17 and 22. The concert, which occurred before an over-capacity crowd of 8,092 at the Washington, D.C., Coliseum, took place on 2/11/64, two days after the band's appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show." The performance was shown in theaters on a closed-circuit system in movie theaters a month later but was subsequently lost.
The footage was recently unearthed, restored and re-mastered.The 92-minute documentary will also include interviews with Chuck Berry, concert promoter Sid Bernstein, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry from Aerosmith, Beatles guitarist George Harrison's sister Louise and others.
