As the Live Series from Purple Chick is concluded we are left with a big query as to not only the title, The Last Tour or The Final Tour, but also whether this is there last release. After the glowing reviews received from the New York Times',Alan Kozinn, praising not only the series but the complete Purple Chick catalogue is it time for the Chick to call it a day? All Fans hope not wishing for a follow up series of Home Releases.

As ever if you like the look of this CORE release find a FAN , do not buy it .

And so to the conclusion of The Beatles as a performing group (although some might argue the end really came a year or more earlier) – all the circulating shows from their final tour of the U.S.A.

While this may be a delight for completists, the last show at San Francisco is the only decent sounding recording here (and not such a bad performance either, relatively speaking). Also of note is the 'cherry bomb' explosion heard halfway through "If I Needed Someone" from the Memphis evening show. Otherwise it's slim pickings, pop pickers.

We've done our best to make everything sound as good as possible - speed correction, a little eq, and more (but never any compression or noise reduction!) We even used a source for the San Francisco show without the digital reverb appearing on most releases of this concert.

It's not all that pretty, but this is it – the end of The Beatles live. (Unless you count the Rooftop Concert – and that's on A/B Road if you still need to find it!)

As always, Purple Chick discs are fan created and NEVER FOR SALE!!!
