Most complete collection of "Jimmy Nicol" concerts.
Fantastic job Godfatherrecords did assembling this collection, everything live with Jimmy Nicol on drums on disc 1, and since I haven't posted anything from the Australian tour this makes a perfect addition.
I prefer this collection over all others because it's the most complete for one, and because it also has the fewest "voice-over's" for the Scandinavian tour recordings. Just focus on Jimmy's drumming for track 11, "I Want To Hold Your Hand" never sounded like that before! -Original

Nicol played eight concerts with The Beatles, plus a TV appearance during which the group mimed to their songs. He wore Ringo Starr's suit on stage, with strategically-placed clothes pegs used to make his jacked fit.
The first performance took place on the evening after he was recruited, at KB Hallen in Copenhagen, Denmark on 4 June 1964. The next day the group arrived in the Netherlands, where The Beatles held a press conference at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport, before recording a performance for VARA-TV.
On 6 June they performed two shows in Blokker, the Netherlands. Both shows were filmed by local news cameramen. The next day the group flew back to London, where they caught a connecting flight to Hong Kong. There, on 9 June, they played twice at the Princess Theatre in Kowloon.
The final stop for Jimmie Nicol was in Australia. On 11 June the group arrived in Sydney. The next day they flew on to Adelaide, where they played four shows over two days. One of the performances was recorded for Australian radio, and was broadcast on 15 June.
Ringo re-joined the group on 14 June in Melbourne, and Jimmie Nicol returned to Britain. The other Beatles were asleep as he left, so he was unable to say goodbye. Brian Epstein gave him a cheque, and a wristwatch inscribed with the words: "From The Beatles and Brian Epstein to Jimmy - with appreciation and gratitude." (...More)
