Grammys rival, the American Music Awards, have said they will broadcast a TV performance by the Beatles not seen since 1964 at next year's ceremony. The footage comes from an unnamed UK TV show, and has apparently sat unnoticed for decades in an ABC vault. Organisers of the awards will hope the exclusive will help win the awards show additional TV viewers.
The awards' producer Dick Clark has told reporters the footage "aired here and then, for some reason or another, went into a trunk somewhere". He added: "It's a wonderful old tape that's been lost for 40 years that nobody's seen since it first aired."
