Pillar of "Fire"

Hello, my first post here. I ran across a contemporary photograph of the Beatles and Ed Sullivan in 1964. In this black and white photo there are multiple flames, one above Paul, one above John and one above Ed Sullivan. This is my profile picture by the way. The flames are almost exactly the same as the famous photo of William Branham during the Bosworth-Best debate. Obviously both photographs are affected by the stage lighting of that era.
