The Beatles – Ticket To Ride

Released: 9 April 1965 (UK), 19 April 1965 (US)

Ticket To Ride was the soundtrack to a key scene in the Help! film. Filmed on the ski slopes of Obertauern, Austria on 20 March 1965, it was a forerunner of the music videos which would later become widespread.

It also became part of The Beatles’ live repertoire in 1965, particularly on their summer tour of America. They played it during their final appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, and at their Shea Stadium and Hollywood Bowl concerts.

A version of Ticket To Ride, recorded for the British television show Blackpool Night Out, was included on Anthology 2. Another recording, taped for the radio show The Beatles Invite You To Take A Ticket To Ride, was included on the Live At The BBC collection.
