Hmmph! How could they possibly sound any good w/o walls of equipment?
Yes! Isn't it obvious which one sounds better, is louder and weighs more? Au contraire, mon chere!

I intended to edit the post and something went wrong. The column that you show was used in the Twickenham studio recordings so it makes sense that it was used in the rooftop concert.
Fender column in Twickenham
Two columns here

Back in the early '00s I had an encounter with an ebay seller who was selling one of those bass amp heads. He said it was just like a Walter Woods amp, "better even", he said.
Saturday Reprise
Words Of Love was covered by the Beatles. Paul McCartney has said that it was Buddy Holly who inspired the band to combine vocal and instrument harmonies. That helped make their sound.
The song has an interesting biting rythmic slide, timing is important to get it right. Buddy double tracked the vocals, he got that from Les Paul. Due to track limitations, he combined the vocals from two tape recorders.
Recorded on Monday, April 8, 1957. The B-Side was Mailman, Bring Me No More Blues, also covered by the Beatles. They wore that record out.

Yes! So, I did see that pic before something blew up your edit!?
This photo also shows the (apparently only one) Fender PA speaker leaned forward toward the street and the Vox PA speakers lain prone as monitors! (The other Fender speaker doesn't appear to be leaning forward.)

I had a similar image that came from a YellowDog album cover. I lost the image.
I use an iPad, the touch screen is seriously messed up, it does some strange things beyond my control. I need to replace it and have been waiting for the new iPad Pro to be released. Rumors were this month but it hasn’t happened. I might have to wait until next spring.

Watched the rooftop concert in the bijou. That's the closest I ever got to The Beatles, in person, if staring at album covers and watching Beatles cartoons on the tube and watching first run Beatles movies on the big screen counts in the same basket. The Beatles calling it quits felt as incomprehensible to me as the "meaning" of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Knew many who were dyed-in-the-wool John types. As in cop the glasses, the hair, the "attitude". Took a lot of guff buying Ringo's solo album when the cool kids were buying EL&P.

Before Aretha, there was Otis who wrote the song. He's paying for the date and just wants a little respect. Check out the tiny stage monitors.
Almost sounds "wrong" at that tempo, but since he wrote it.........
True. Concert(vs dance situation)tends to be more 'energetic'.

Or the band takes the last numbers way up tempo so GOFs can go home sooner.
We'd never do that. Shorten it a chorus or two, yes, but speed it up? Never.
And the Spirit of GOF's Award of the week goes to.....We'd never do that. Shorten it a chorus or two, yes, but speed it up? Never.
(Imagine a drum roll...I fired the drummer)...
Pauses for effect after fumbling with envelope.....
@GonePlaid Now THAT was funny!.....

We're GOFs. We should be slowing down by now.
