Thanks, everyone for sharing this.

So... we've got an ancient audience tape... that the show's producers decided would sound best if they played the recording through another theatre's loud speakers that are "turned up to 11."

So we've got an audience tape of an audience tape? Over which people are talking.

Wonderful.

Like, why must everything be so frustrating?

I think John got all that stuff from his role model Julia. By all accounts, she behaved constantly as if she were on the stage.

Also, if you read the Just William books you get another insight into John's character. I think he basically modelled himself on a mix of Julia and Just William, with a little bit of Mimi's haughty sterness thrown in for good measure.

Mark, do you think you could share the audio from this video in highest quality? I love the way this is edited, and would love to include it in my personal live shows collection...

A bit more background.

This may explain why the couldn't play much of the tape.
"A colleague in BBC Music rights helped my editors Tim Prosser and Rebecca Stratford clear permission to use extracts."

My guess is that's all Apple would allow, similar to the Woolton fete tape.

Maybe more information will be forthcoming at this event.

Lewisohn was played the whole tape over a skype call.

If he didn't make a covert recording of the call, then I am Marie of Romania. At least one person other than this guy now has some sort of copy!

There are 22 songs, with an estimated 2 missing at the end. So why is it being kept a secret? Are even Beatles set lists State Secrets now?

Actually it is not that simple with uploading anything on Youtube. If Apple will sue you you will get broke just for the lawyers fees alone.

The way that Apple is just holding back all this live material makes me wonder if there's some kind of release that they're planning it for; but then I remember that someone here said that the EDAW documentary originated as a live boxset idea, so I don't know if we will ever see a live box now. Either way I'd really love to know what exactly they're waiting for.
