Is it normal that a band that ended on 1970 still gets radio airplay and frequent references in the social media almost every day here in Europe? This is a very personal and somewhat infomal logbook of some of these references to The Beatles as a proof of their everlasting relevance and continuing influence over the years. As if they needed. Also includes highlights of promotions and some additional info on the band. Mainly in Portuguese (sorry guys).

2019-05: Mais Top of the Pops
Outra gravação do Top of the Pops encontrada:
https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-england-birmingham-48450810/footage-of-beatles-only-top-of-the-pops-live-show-found
Citando:
"Footage of Beatles' only Top of the Pops live show found
Footage of The Beatles' only live appearance on Top of the Pops has been discovered in an attic.
David Chandler was a teenager when he used a wind-up camera to record the performance on the long-running BBC music show in June 1966.
He dug out the 92-second clip, recorded weeks before the Fab Four's last-ever gig, after hearing about a shorter snippet found in Mexico last month."

2017-05-12: Filmagens durante o filme Help! aparecem
... nos arquivos de um dos autores (já falecido):
https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/may/12/unseen-footage-of-the-beatles-during-filming-of-help-emerges-after-50-years
Citando:
"Unseen footage of the Beatles larking around as they filmed a movie in the Austrian Alps has emerged after being stored in a garage for more than 50 years.
The footage, entitled Snow Scenes, was taken by the late actor Leo McKern, best known as Rumpole of the Bailey on ITV between 1978-92.
In 1965, McKern was in the Richard Lester-directed film Help! along with the Beatles, playing a cult supervillain called Clang who is after the ring on Ringo’s finger.
A keen amateur photographer and filmmaker, McKern caught the Beatles relaxed and off guard as they prepared to film scenes in the ski resort of Obertauern.
“It is unseen footage of people who were, at that time, the most famous people on earth,” said the actor Neil Pearson, who is also a rare books dealer. “It is footage of golden age Beatles, fooling around between takes, waiting for something to happen ... I know that feeling.”"

2013-10-15: Beatles no Canal História
Em mais um dos zappings, os Beatles apareceram no Canal História no programa de compra e venda de raridades. Trata-se de um bilhete não utilizado para o concerto de 23 de agosto de 1966 no Shea Stadium. Este foi um dos últimos concertos comerciais dos Beatles (o último foi no Candlestick Park em SF dia 29 do mesmo mês).
A venda foi feita por 180 USD porque aparentemente o item não é tão raro assim (sobraram 11000 bilhetes deste concerto que foram vendidos num canal de TV mais tarde).
