In 1965, the band played London's biggest pop music TV show 'Ready, Steady, Go!' The Beatles played their hit record 'Can't Buy Me Love,' as the crowd screamed all around them.

The band formed a small semi-circle in the middle of the studio floor while their fans surrounded them on multiple levels of scaffolding. The girls' squeals are constant while John and Paul sing.

The Beatles perform on stage with guitars and microphones, surrounded by an audience.

They deliver the lyrics, "I'll buy you a diamond ring, my friend, if it makes you feel alright. I'll get you anything, my friend, if it makes you feel alright. 'Cause I don't care too much for money, 'cause money can't buy me love."

The Beatles wear black suits, white shirts, and black ties, sweating during their performance while bobbing their heads around to Ringo's beat. They smile at each other and the audience the whole time, and the crowd claps along.
