Availibility on Bootleg DVDs
The Royal Variety Show DVD by MM Recording Inc. includes the whole Beatles act from the most circulated time-coded source among collectors. This seems to be a copy from the master tape. MCP's Yesterdays Vol.3 includes the whole act from a very bad quality source with different time-code.



The second number "She Loves You" wasn't included in the official release The Beatles Anthology but it was included in the Director's Cut version. A very good quality clip without time-code appears on the Misterclaudel's release Recovered Archives Vol.1 but it cuts out at the end of the song.

Live on the BBC 2 DVD-set by Fab Productions includes all the performances. More footage of The Beatles can be seen here, the end of the show where all the artists get on stage.
