Supplemental context
The Beatles' official account distinguishes the Hey Jude promotional film from a straightforward live concert. It dates filming to 4 September 1968 at Twickenham, identifies Michael Lindsay-Hogg as director and describes an audience joining the finale. The band largely mimed while Paul McCartney sang live; the film appeared on David Frost's programme four days later. Preserving these details does not diminish the shared singing. It explains how recording, filmed performance, television presentation and audience participation were combined into a particular cultural event.
Creator/community: The Beatles and their recording collaborators; promotional-film director Michael Lindsay-Hogg and participating audience members Place/era: United Kingdom; 1968 recording and promotional film, the latter filmed at Twickenham Film Studio, London
Context and limits
The untouched live description's David Frost performance should not be mistaken for an entirely live, unmediated concert. The official account specifies a mixture of miming and live singing. The phrase about inviting the whole world is expressive description, not a measured claim about universal participation. No recording, film, lyrics or performer image is licensed by this contextual page.
