They toured like fiends until they stopped in '66.

>And when they did weren't the crowds too noisy to hear the performance?

As far as live Beatles goes, they did tons of TV, so there are decent 
quality boots from many of their TV appearances.  They were the hugest band 
in the world and generally very TV-friendly, unlike Zeppelin, who despite 
being the hugest band of their time, wouldn't touch TV with a very large 
dead mud shark.  Or was it red snapper?

Anyway, the boatload of Beatles boots out there are mostly pilfered from 
studio sessions, not live performances.  There are *TONS* of Beatles 
sessions that have been released, re-released, and re-re-re-released, kinda 
like certain Zeppelin audience recordings we all know and love.
