I consider myself at least a moderate Beatlemaniac, and I'd actually never seen this before - the Fab Four performing part of A Midsummer Night's Dream for a skit on a 1964 British TV program. Er, programme. Pretty cool.
Wonder if any of this imagery will show up in The Beatles: Rock Band next month....

I cannot express how excited I am about Beatles Rockband. Have I said that already? Well, it bears repeating. I'm excited.
