Look at Ringo's little Kit!

Amazingly simple - I almost have more gear.

Mic stands must be in front, they must be doing some instrumental piece here

Pauls using a Bassman, should indicate where in their career this was taken, werent they contracted to use Vox whenever playing live? or was that only for the US tours?

Wow, all those wires ........... to me it looks like John's on the left, and behind him a Vox AC100. Centre Paul, and behind hin another Vox (probably the Vox AC50, cannot make out the amp next to it)) and George on the right, and behind him the Fender amp ...... (I too found that strange, never seen 'em using Fender "live") ........ Paul always played with his amp next to the drums ..... (or I may be wrong...... :-\ )

Warren

Weelll, looking at the guitars, looks a bit like a Gibson J-160E acoustic (or similar) on the left behind the amp with a Rickenbacker in the middle between drums and amp, and you can see the left handed Hofner violin bass between the amps and piano. ?

So I'd go with John left, George mid and Paul right. ?

Dude...

Paul is a southpaw. Thus it's easy to work out which one is him.

Glad I didn't take up that career in forensic investigation ?

If in doubt just say "yes, Dear."

Its easy to see who is using which amp, just trace back the wires ?

Actually I might print this up for my kids to do just that!

If you had to tell an alien that this little set up - seen purely as an image - caused the revolution it did in music, they wouldn't believe you!

I suppose we must remember though that with this little rig they were quickly inaudible at shows. As Beatles fans, if we went back in time, I think we'd be bitterly disappointed standing there in the audience hearing nothing but shrieking. The amplification just didn't exist for them to be able to be heard over the din.
