Interesting facts and trivia about Long Tall Sally - Live At The BBC For "Top Gear" / 16th July, 1964. By Songfacts®.

This was originally recorded by Little Richard, who was one of The Beatles' inspirations. The Beatles met Little Richard at the Star Club in Hamburg when they were performing there in 1962. They also met Billy Preston there, who was Little Richard's keyboard player. They didn't see him again until 1969 when George Harrison saw him at a concert and brought him in to play piano for The Beatles on "Don't Let Me Down" and "Get Back."

The Beatles recorded this in one take. Since they played it live so often, they had it down.

This was the last song The Beatles played at a paid concert. Their last show was at Candlestick Park in San Francisco on August 29, 1966. They played a meager bit of "In My Life" after it, but gave up and left the stage.
