The Fab Four played a 29-minute set at the Hollywood Bowl.
An extremely rare acetate of a legendary 1964 US tour Beatles performance which is one of just three to exist has emerged for sale for £14,000.
The Fab Four played a 29-minute set at the Hollywood Bowl which featured 12 tracks including 'She Loves You' and 'I Want to Hold Your Hand'.
The acetate, a form of early vinyl record used predominantly up until the late 1950s, was cut directly from reel-to-reel tape three days after the concert took place.
However, the band, George Martin and Brian Epstein were not satisfied with the way the record was mixed so the project was scrapped.
Beatlemania took the US by storm and the band performed to a screaming sold-out crowd of almost 20,000 young fans.
John Lennon later said of the show: "The Hollywood Bowl was marvellous. It was the one we all enjoyed most… we got on, and it was a big stage, and it was great.
"We could be heard in a place like the Hollywood Bowl, even though the crowd was wild - good acoustics."
The acetate, titled 'Beatles Live at the Hollywood Bowl 1964', is being sold by a private collector with RR Auction, of Boston, US.
An RR Auction spokesperson said: "When Capitol Records were unable to procure permission from the American Federation of Musicians to record a Beatles concert at Carnegie Hall, the choice was made to have the live album done at the famed Hollywood Bowl.
"On August 23, 1964, the Beatles took to the stage in front of a sold-out crowd and played, according to John Lennon, what was a very satisfying show.
"In spite of the band's enjoyment, the subsequent recording was deemed unworthy, with Martin explaining that 'guitars and voices were mixed on the same track' and that 'the recording seemed to concentrate more on the wild screaming of 18,700 kids than on the Beatles on stage'.
