Rare footage of the Beatles' last ever live gig at Candelstick Park in San Francisco on 29th August 1966 is to be shown on BBC TV this month.

The footage includes fans arriving and the band setting-up, and shows how amateurish shows of that generation were.

Talking about the show, documentary maker Barry Hood said:

There was a row between the equipment manager and the field manager who was frightened that the equipment van was going to ruin the baseball pitch

Amazingly, the footage has never before been shown.
