Many hours of live Beatles recordings were made throughout the sixities in varying quality from Excellent sound board recordings to Poor home made recordings by fans at the concerts. Why it is not released is partly due to the legal wrangling about who has the rights to release what. And partly because Paul, Ringo, and the estates of John and George would probably not want it all released anyway. Anthology was about as close as we got to seeing lots of the live stuff officially released, so maybe there will be a follow up to Anthology one day. Either way, you can be pretty sure that more will get released over time.

There is footage of them playing live in Washington D.C. Goodtimes video has a super cheap DVD of it for around $5
The Beatles also filmed one of their performances at the Budokan in Japan, some but not all of it is to be found on the Anthology DVD set. Their performance at Shea Stadium was also recorded and issued on vinyl and can still be found on e-bay from time to time but, I warn you that the sound quality is bad on that particular LP. Video of that is also on the Anthology.
Lastly the Beatles Live at The Hollywood Bowl was issued on LP in the 70's,the performances on that one are just OK, it's never been issued on CD either though Apple continually threatens to do so.
Michael Jackson owns the publishing rights to the songs,not the actual rights to the Beatles back catalog, he has no say whatsoever as to what can be released.

Only problem with LIVE recordings of the Beatles is lets face it the fans screaming so loud that the singers couldn't hear what they were singing over the crowd noise, the Shea stadium gig especially Lennon once said about that night they didn't know if they were any good as they couldn't hear themselves. Better off with any studio produced music I'm afraid...or early recordings LIVE before they were famous. Good Luck

When the Beatles were touring the tape cassette had only recently been invented. Filming concerts was rare. Video was unheard of. I suspect you are not a child of the sixties? But if you can see a niche here, maybe you could move to fill it?

same reason you can't play them on most internet jukeboxes or get ringtones... michael jackson bought the rights and he's being stingy with them... if you get the anthologies, you can see some concert footage on there... that's how i can see some of their concerts
