Yes! I saw the same thing at some worn-down theater on Bascom Ave. in San Jose...it was back before VCRs were popular, so it was a real treat.
(revealing my age), I remember seeing A Hard Day's Night in the theater when it was a new release. I remember there were a lot of girls squealing and swooning...full on Beatlemania in a movie theater.
I think the performance of 'You're Gonna Lose That Girl' in Help! has to be my all-time favorite bit of music on film.
