Commenting on the "nonstop screaming of fans" through the album, Rolling Stone write that "aside from its value as a document of what a Beatles show actually sounded like, the album anticipated a whole generation of music by British shoegazer bands like My Bloody Valentine and the Jesus and Mary Chain, with catchy songs almost completely drowned out by white noise." Michael Hann of The Guardian also compared the album to the Jesus and Mary Chain, due to "the screams of thousands and thousands of teenagers, screams that blanket the music in sheets of white noise, for all the world like William Reid's feedback on Psychocandy." My Bloody Valentine guitarist Kevin Shields was inspired by The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl after hearing the album as a child and being fascinated by the band's music being largely concealed beneath the noise of screaming fans, and that this was one influence on his intention to create "the most beautiful songs with the most extremeness of physicality and sound", leading to the fuzz-drenched sound of Loveless (1991). Shields also sampled the audience screams from the Beatles album on My Bloody Valentine's "Clair" (1987), burying the song beneath them.
