This was the group’s first live performance for 15 weeks. They performed five songs. The concert was filmed by ABC Television and was broadcast in two parts as Big Beat ’64. The Beatles’ original master performances were shown in part two, first shown on Sunday 10 May from 4.05-5.35pm. The broadcast also featured the group receiving their NME awards from actor Roger Moore. The venue was the Empire Pool from its opening year in 1934 until 1978 when it was renamed Wembley Arena. "The afternoon show was the main event, with The Beatles topping a bill that included The Rolling Stones, Gerry & the Pacemakers, The Searchers, Billy J Kramer & the Dakotas, Manfred Mann, Brian Poole & the Tremeloes, Cliff Richard and the Shadows, The Dave Clark Five, The Swinging Blue Jeans, The Hollies, Freddie and the Dreamers, Joe Brown and his Bruvvers, Kathy Kirby, Jet Harris, Big Dee Irwin & the Joe Loss Orchestra," said Derek Taylor for Fifty Years Adrift. From RetroNewser: April 11, 1965 — The Beatles topped the bill at the 1964-65 New Musical Express Annual Poll-Winners’ All-Star Concert at the Empire Pool in Wembley in London. The performance was broadcast at ABC’s Pollwinners’ Concert in Britain on April 18, 1965. From Beatles Bible: Although they famously performed on the rooftop of Apple in January 1969, NME May 1, 1966, was The Beatles’ final scheduled live appearance in Britain. It was their fourth appearance at the New Musical Express Annual Poll-Winners’ All-Star Concert, which took place at the Empire Pool in Wembley, London. The Beatles performed before an audience of 10,000. From The Independent, January 6, 2006: 1966 is also the year in which quite possibly the greatest gig ever took place at the Empire Pool, Wembley. That gig was the New Musical Express Poll-winners concert and it boasted a line-up never matched before or since. Headlined by the Beatles, it featured the Rolling Stones, The Who, Dusty Springfield, the Yardbirds, the Walker Brothers, Roy Orbison, the Spencer Davis Group with Stevie Winwood, Cliff Richard, the Shadows, Herman’s Hermits and the Small Faces, all playing short sets of their current hits. Neither the Beatles nor the Stones would allow their NME performances to be filmed. It had become a tradition that the show was televised nationally by ABC-TV on the weekend following the event, usually, as Big Beat, and such was the case in 1965. However, there had been a backstage row between Mick Jagger and John Lennon over who should headline. The Stones were performing off the back of three number ones in a row and Jagger had declared that that made his band the biggest. Lennon had turned the air blue, enraged at Jagger’s ingratitude after all the help the Beatles had given the nascent Stones. Jagger insisted he would pull the Stones out of the show if they didn’t headline and was crestfallen when NME proprietor Maurice Kinn reminded him he would be in breach of contract with ABC if he did so. The upshot was that the Beatles won the day, though, characteristically, Lennon then decided it would be far too dangerous for his band to finish the show as the audience would gather outside the venue and tear them apart. So it was that the Kinks closed the ’65 show and, when it came to 1 May 1966, neither the Beatles nor the Stones would allow the cameras to capture their performances. The Beatles never played live before a British audience again.
