London - Rare footage of an "unscheduled" Beatles gig during the band's first US tour in 1964 has been sold for 4,100 pounds (6,500 dollars) at auction in Britain, it was reported Wednesday.
The two-minute silent footage, captured on 8-millimetre film, shows John, Paul, George and Ringo during a performance at the Municipal Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
It was re-discovered in the bottom of a drawer by fan Drew Dimmel who, as a 15-year-old boy, smuggled the movie camera into the concert hall.
