Introducing the eagerly awaited second edition of the best-selling item, made possible by the latest AI remastering by a renowned enthusiast. This edition surpasses all previous ones in quality, bringing to you the iconic Beatles performance at Shea Stadium on August 15, 1965. This concert marked the Beatles' third American tour's opening day, held in the massive 60,000 capacity venue.

The significant event was filmed in color by Ed Sullivan Productions with the intention of preservation. However, due to critical flaws in filming and, more notably, the recording, the footage was edited for broadcast in 1966 but has not been officially released as a Beatles video product since. Despite the existence of thousands of bootlegs, including versions broadcast by BBC-TV in 1966, ABC-TV in 1967, a video cassette release in 1978, a digitally telecined and remastered version in 1991, and a 4K remaster for the movie "Eight Days A Week" in 2016, the official releases have struggled with the audio quality, notably for this Shea Stadium performance.

The 2023 remaster version has been meticulously adjusted to preserve as much of the original audio as possible while using AI separation technology to fill in missing elements from other performances, mainly from the Hollywood Bowl concert of the same year. Furthermore, the video has been upgraded using AI to upconvert the 1991 Ron Furmanek version, combined to create a more watchable live video that focuses on the original performance.

For the 2023 remastered edition, tracks like "I Feel Fine" and "Ticket To Ride," which had been replaced by CTS studio recordings in official releases, have been restored to their original live versions. "Act Naturally" has also been re-balanced for a more pleasant listening experience. The overall aim was to enhance the original audio's presence and live feeling through an AI remix across the entire footage.

Additionally, the Beatles' interviews, previously marred by overall audio distortion in the concert's documentary section, have been replaced with significantly clearer alternate sources for a more enjoyable listening experience. Except for "Help!", which had to be replaced with the Hollywood Bowl performance due to extensive issues with the original source, the remix focuses on the day's performances to ensure fans can enjoy the concert as it was intended.

This release captures the excitement of what was then considered a groundbreaking outdoor stadium concert event, enhanced by the original audio plus AI remixing for an elevated sensory experience.
