The session for the Beatles’ third consecutive “bank holiday” special on BBC radio’s light programme, again titled “From Us to You” and broadcast this time on Whit Monday, 18 May, 10.00 am to 12.00 noon.
…the group taped eight numbers: “I Saw Her Standing There”, “Kansas City/Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey”, “I Forgot to Remember to Forget”, “You Can’t Do That”, “Sure to Fall (In Love With You), “Can’t Buy Me Love”, “Matchbox” and “Honey Don’t” (with John singing the lead vocal…) …The Beatles also engaged in the usual light-hearted banter with the host (Alan Freeman…), read requestsand twice performed an off-the-cuff “Whit Monday to You”, to the tune of “Happy Birthday”.
Clearly, the Beatles remained keen to be heard performing the songs that had once been the backbone of their stage act, before the fame and enforced brevity of their concerts ensured that only released material be featured in live performance. Four of these eight numbers were vintage Sun material.
