This was their first television appearance in America!! Seven million American households were tuned in to see it. The rest was musical history that has influenced everything that has happened since!!
have you seen the film yesterday(2019)?it's about a struggling musician who's about to give up singing when the whole world is plunged into darkness for 20 secs when the electricity comes back he realises this is a new world where the beatles (and other things)never excisted.he seems to be the only one who remembers them.ed sheeran has a cameo.it's good and emotional in a particular scene.lots of beatles songs.
@@ajruther67 it's good.i tear up at the scene with you know who at the beach cause you think if the Beatles actually hadn't happened this maybe were you know who ended up.
Are you telling us you never heard of the Beatles. They were the start of what they called ‘The British Invasion’ it was like this wherever they played. They had to be surrounded by security everywhere they went. They would have tons of girls at the airport & everywhere they went. They would tear their clothes off if they could. That is Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison. & Ringo Star. They all had solo careers after they broke up. Paul & Ringo are the only ones still alive. John Lennon was shot & killed outside his apt in New York. Listen to Help, Here Come The Sun, Strawberry Fields, Elenor Rigby, Back in The USSR, the list is never ending.
Ringo Starr on drums, Paul McCartney on bass on the left, George Harrison in the middle and John Lennon on the right. John Lennon was assassinated on Dec. 8, 1980, outside his apartment building in NYC. Fans were so crazy they couldn't tour any longer. All of them good artists in their own right. Deep, deep well. This is early stuff. Yes, Ed Sullivan was the show to watch.
The Beatles are truly legendary; their influence on modern music can't be overstated. They were prolific, innovative, and edgy, always evolving & setting off into new directions for others to follow. Check out "Across the Universe", "Help", " Come Together", "Revolution", "Michelle" for samplings of some of their sounds. After the group broke up, an entire generation held out hope for a reunion...but then John Lennon was shot and killed by a deranged fan outside his New York apartment. A few years ago, George Harrison also passed away. Ringo, the drummer, and Paul McCartney both still perform today though they are now around 80 years young!
The Beatles are the best-selling music act of all time. They hold the record for most number-one albums on the UK Albums Chart (15), most number-one hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (20), and most singles sold in the UK.
I still can't wrap my head around the fact that they, The Beatles, accomplished all of the above in 7 short years. That's why, when it comes to music and listing the best bands ever, you have "The Beatles" alone at the top, then comes everyone else. My guess is this.... If humans are still around in the year 3021, they will still be listening to The Beatles.
I can't believe you never heard of The Beatles! This was the beginning of the British Invasion of music. Their music changed as did their life style and as the hippie era began. Their sound will be different and amazing as you go through their library. I hope you do many and in order so you can see their transitions. I was 10 when they came on Ed Sullivan and jumped up & down with happiness. My Dad said their hair was too long. A couple years later he bought me a Beatle album for Christmas. Norweigan Wood, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band, A day in the Life, Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, Magical Mystery Tour, Across the Universe, Let It Be, Come Together , Back in the USSR, Helter Skelter. OMG.....I can't stop suggesting. My friends & I went to the show to see their movie A Hard Day's Night & the audience was the same as this. You couldn't hear the movie for all the screaming.
In 1964 I was entering 4th grade, so I was 8 or 9. We were visiting friends in Bakersfield, California and we kids went into the den to watch the Beatles debut on TV. This song was so different from the do-wop and falsettos of that time. These gorgeous guys were handsome, talented, very Male, no falsettos, the Beat was strong and definite, and the end didn't fade out like all the songs of that time. Plus, it's a great song! Exactly the kind of new music we needed. I was hooked!!!!!!!!
I remember my family visiting my grandparents many Sunday evenings. We watched The Ed Sullivan and got a bowl of ice cream. Really good memories. Grandpa had a new 25 inch RCA color TV and we were all amazed by it. Grandma made sure that no one sat too close to the screen because she was sure it would ruin our eyes. Dad was certain that the Beatle's long hair would cause damage to society. Hahaha
I was 7 years old when we watched this live. I am now 65, and I still love The Beatles. They were, and still are the greatest musical phenomenon that there has ever been, and I really don't think they will ever be surpassed.
Try digging into their middle years and older years. There are SO MANY iconic songs from not only this band but each member on their own. Look for songs like "Let it be", "A Day in the Life", "Here Comes The Sun", " Penny Lane", "Black Bird" and "The Long and Winding Road". These are just a few of the many, many songs from this amazing group of talented men.
This is early Beatles. It's good to start there, because they evolved, right in front of our eyes, album by album. I've been waiting for a reactor to discover the Beatles in chronological order.
Check out Call Me Caroline here on TH-cam: th-cam.com/users/CallMeCarolinevideos She is reacting to Beatles albums and singles in chronological order, and she has just worked her way up to "Sgt. Pepper's." She is fun to watch, and her angle is that she is a singer/songwriter -- she's heard so much about the Beatles that she wanted to know what all the fuss was about. Can she learn about songwriting and arranging from the Beatles? So far, she's been familiar with only a handful of songs... "With a Little Help From My Friends" was one of these very few songs. And she's had many surprises. Lots of fun! Notice also how many views she gets for Beatles videos vs. what she gets for other performers (such as ABBA). Clearly, there is a HUGE audience out there for Beatles content.
I wasn't in the audience, but I was right in front of my TV the night this was aired and watching this makes it seen like it was yesterday. You young people will never experience anything like The Beatle phenomenon because its not likely to ever happen again. It's one of those "you had to be there" moments. The crowds were insane. As a matter of fact The Beatles quit doing live performances in 1966 because the crowds were so loud that they couldn't even hear each other playing on stage. The Ed Sullivan Show was THE show. If you were an entertainer and you made it to that show, you were on the top. And if you want to hear another good song from them, just pick one. I'm still a big fan of theirs but in my opinion, they didn't make a bad song. Great reaction.
The members are from Liverpool, England. John met Paul at a church fete. John was playing there with his skiffle band. John was 17 and Paul 15. The rest is history. This group has influenced everyone and sold over 200 million albums. No artist has topped their success
Since this is your first viewing; I suggest doing The Beatles music chronologically, so you can TRULY admire the growth these 4 went through in just 7 yrs time.
I am 68 years old I was about 11 when The Beatles came to America as I got older they were making some great music I thought and they really inspired me to learn how to play a guitar I still play to this day and I love it they were one of my main inspirations 👍🏼👍🏼🎸😎☮️❤️
This was their introduction in America and I saw a comment here that 7 million households tuned in that evening. Actually it was 73 million and still the largest audience for a TV show in history 57 years later. The shame is that John Lennon's mike (he's on the right) malfunctioned on this song, you mainly heard Paul McCartney here, he's on the far left. This was in February 1964 and I was going on six years of age and remember very clearly. In 64 these four looked and sounded like aliens too me although by today standards their hair is quite short. I was fortunate enough too see them right after I turned six in Pittsburgh at The Civic Arena, it was crazy, you could barely hear them with all of the screams. Back in those days the technology couldn't support a band like this, all they had were 25 watt amps. Could you imagine playing to like 13,000 screaming girls with only 25 watt amps. They graduated to selling out stadiums in 65 and by that time Vox made special 100 watt amps which was a joke. They were always ahead of the technology, like in the studio starting in 66 with their Lp Revolver and then in 67 with Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band they had too invent new technology as they went along. These guys were musical geniuses. The Lennon/McCartney catalog of songs will never be equalled. Greatest band ever and it ain't even close. There's so many great ones by them that's it's hard to recommend songs. I'll give you a couple of great ones though. The Beatles live at Blackpool Night Out 1965 performing "Help" really great color and sound for 65 and much superior to the Sullivan Show one. Another is the video for "Day Tripper" 1965, you'll love it and finally from their last album recorded together "Abbey Road" George Harrison's "Here Comes The Sun" with video. Make sure you do the 50th anniversary 2019 remix, it sounds incredible. This song is the most streamed by the band on Spotify with over 730 million hits. I've seen some cool stuff in my life. The Beatles and Paul, George and Ringo all solo after the band split up in 70. Bob Dylan numerous times, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Queen to name a few. More Beatles please but make sure you pause when doing them for they along with Dylan have the strictest of all copyrights, wouldn't want too see you get flagged brother. ✌️☮️💕
Wow, you finally got around to a lil group called The Beatles. Lol. Cool. They are the most influential band of all time. The largest selling group of of all time. To check out their careers and music together and as solo artists will take years. THIS WILL BE YOUR DEEPEST RABBIT HOLE. ENJOY! Take note they never repeat style or music, Every song is separate and new and different.
I remember seeing them on Ed Sullivan. I was very young. This was the start of Beatlemania and it still continues today. The Beatles are the most influential band of all time. The Beatles have six Diamond albums, as well as 20 Multi-Platinum albums, 16 Platinum albums and six Gold albums. They had 20 #1 hits and most of their songs ranked in the top 10. In addition, they all did very well on their own when the band broke up.
Back in the 50's and 60's, there were only a few TV channels... no cable, no internet. So everyone in America watched the same content day in, day out... Ed Sullivan Show was the prominent entertainment show that famous artists performed on. The Beatles landed in America in early 1964 w/ a #1 record and appeared on the Ed Sullivan show... and the ratings had never been higher for any artist since. Everyone in America was watching... there r so many rock artists today who were kids when they saw the Beatles live on TV that became musicians. Ozzy Osbourne said he saw the Beatles in the UK in the 60's and heard their records... that inspired him to become a singer in a band... he started singing in 1967 and eventually joined the band that became Black Sabbath.
That was the first song I heard from them on the radio, just before they showed up on Ed Sullivan. I was 8, and EVERYBODY knew which Sunday they were going to be on. The other song they would play on the radio was Saw Her Standing There.
I fell in love with Paul McCartney after seeing this show. They were the height of cool and yes the girls always screamed. Sometimes they screamed so loud you couldn’t hear them sing. Watched it all the way through, thanks Adogg!
The Ultimate Boy Band when they started... ultimate musicians by the end that changed the direction of modern music. I saw them live in 1965, but could hardly hear them, despite being 17 rows from the stage because of the 20,000 screaming girls in the audience! They started screaming before the Beatles got on stage and went non-stop until they left the stage. But I loved every minute of it.
The werent the ultimate boy band when they started. They learned their trade in Hamburg and were very good musicians by the time they returned to England. Their audition tape for Decca was very good.
Okay, I seriously REFUSE to believe that this is the FIRST time that you’ve EVER heard a Beatles song!!? 🤯😱😳 it’s literally *impossible* to overstate what a critical role they played in the evolution of music and what an indelible mark these guys left on music/pop culture as a whole, not just during the years they were actively creating/releasing new music and touring, but even through today because of how they STILL inspire so many young people who turn out to be music giants. I think it was Chris Cornell actually who once said in an interview that he “considered John Lennon as more of a father figure to him than his own biological father ever was” 🥺 I’ve always thought that was such a crazy little piece of information, I suppose that is why it’s always stuck in my mind lol…I obviously can’t speak for anyone else, but I’ve ALWAYS considered Chris Cornell one of the most incredibly talented musicians, singers and songwriters of all time. What an absolute tragedy it would have been if he never took the leap into the music business because he never felt that inspiration that he got from John Lennon and the Beatles!
I remember when they came to Seattle. My father was a firefighter and assigned backstage at the concert. He wouldn't let me go. Ringo brushed against him and Dad got his shirt ripped off of his back for souvenirs. He was really mad because he had to pay for the shirt. It was many years before Dad could admit he loved the Beatles! LOL
This song seems pretty tame by todays standards but back in 1963/64 there was nothing like their music on the radio! They truly kicked the door down to inspire other groups to write their own music, explore different chord progressions, change of key in a song, change of 'time' in a song, and the list goes on and on! They changed the face of music forever!
Just to mention the 3 minute rule to get a song played on the radio. Then The Beatles released Hey Jude at 8 minutes long and the 3 minute rule disappeared forever. Another example of how big and influential they were.
I’d love you to go down the Beatles rabbit hole. Requests “Strawberry Fields”, “Here comes the sun”, “Norwegian Wood”, “Penny Lane”..so many great songs.
Actually if you start with their first recording of Love Me Do in 1962 and then to 1970 when they broke up, that is 8 years. Keep in mind that the U.S. and the rest of the world didn't know of the Beatles until 1964. Whereas they had already been popular for 2 years in the UK and Europe. Beatlemania was already widespread before those of us in the US heard them. So the US had to play catchup seeing as "I Want to Hold Your Hand" was really not a new song, but it was to the US. But if you think of ALL the work and struggles and playing 6-8 hour sets in Hamburg, Germany from 1960-1962 off and on (where they REALLY honed their craft). They were a working band for 10 years. SO yes, 10, 8 years is an INCREDIBLY SHORT time to create what the body of work they did and ALL BEFORE they were 30 years old!! TRULY AMAZING!!! NO one else WILL EVER MATCH that!! I am 74 years old and I was exactly one month short of turning 17 when the Beatles were on ED SULLIVAN on Feb 9, 1964, I saw them live in concert here in Cleveland, Ohio on Sept 15, 1964 and again on Aug, 14, 1966 (they didn't come here in 1965 because our mayor BANNED them from coming to Cleveland!!) I was one of those screamers too, it was all so overwhelming, we LOVED them SO MUCH and it was a way of letting our emotions out and frustrations at not being able to get close to them. I am STILL an avid fan and will be to the day I die. They had a more profound affect on my life than on most, I can't imagine what my life would have been without them. They are the soundtrack of my life. My 3 sons have even said on FaceBook that they THANK their existence for the Beatles "If mom hadn't been a fan she would never have met our father, who was also a fan (very long story) ANYWAY, I am GLAD I was there during that time and I feel sad that young people today couldn't have been there. It was an AMAZING and FUN time with SO MUCH GREAT MUSIC. RIP John Lennon and George Harrison, you are greatly missed. Many more years for Paul McCartney and Richard Starkey AKA RIngo Starr. BLESS YOU ALL
"The Ed Sullivan Show," which was on Sunday night, was super popular all over the country for a long time. This was the Beatles' first major song release in America. It was so popular that Capitol records had to hire three other record companies to share pressing the disks. I don't know if that has ever been done before or since. You might want to check out more of the Beatles, such as "And I Love Her," "All My Loving," "Don't Let Me Down," "From Me to You," "I'll Get You," or "Come Together."
It’s really hard to explain to anyone who wasn’t alive back then just how The Beatles changed the world. They ushered in a whole new energy. It flipped a switch in me, that’s for sure.
This is earlier Beatles music. They evolved throughout the 60's, finally ending as a band in 1970. There is a reason the Beatles are the most famous rock and roll band of all time.
EVERYONE in America watched The Beatles live on the Ed Sullivan that night. We had heard their songs for a month already. I Wanna Hold Your Hand was number #1 on the charts when they came! They sang 3 songs on that show and it has been said, there was no reported crime in the US while they were on tv. Even the criminals stopped to watch them! This was their American debut and it changed music and the Baby Boom generation forever! Thousands of kids went out and bought guitars and learned how to play and put their own bands together. The most successful bands in the 60’s and 70’s will tell you how much the Beatles influenced them.
Same here! When the ad for them appeared for "The Ed Sullivan Show," my heart skipped a beat! That was in February 1964. 13 yrs. old-female, of course.....
The Beatles got their stage presence by serving an "apprenticeship" playing in the clubs in Hamburg, Germany. They were very young at the time, with the oldest (John) being just 20 years old and the others in their teens. George actually got deported from Germany for working underage. They slept in a storage room and played long, long shows in the nightclubs in the seediest part of a port city. By the time they were done with that, not much was going to throw them off their playing.
the beatles are the biggest band of all time,yhey changed the whole face of music world wide they have 100s of hits as a band and as solo artists,yesterday, hey jude, while my guitar gently weeps, are 3 of there best ones.at there concerts the women were sreaming so loud sometimes that they just never actually bothered singing because no one could hear a word they were saying.great reaction
The Beatles truly changed music forever when they burst onto the global scene in 1963. They brought excitement, innovation and those adorable Liverpool accents. What is most incredible is how much THEY grew and changed in the short seven year span between 1963 and 1969 when they broke up (and broke millions of hearts in the process). They went from THIS song to Sgt. Pepper and the White Album and it was a hella ride!
This was the first recording they released in the US. The Beatles changed music around the world. Explore all their music. You will not be diappointed.
You've got so many songs to check out. She Loves You is another great song .Let It Be is one of their later songs, Hey Jude is another great song. Their catalog is huge.
The reaction to the Beatles with all the screaming was called "Beatlemania" Ed Sullivan probably had every big artists at the time. Way too many to list. His show was on TV for many years. The first time I ever heard them was Christmas Day 1963 and it was this song.
Arguably the best band there has ever been. They have so many great songs its hard to pick one to suggest. But how about Day Tripper or Paperback Writer? Or maybe Taxman? I bet you would like all three.
Best band on the planet. Influenced all of the music that came after them even to this day. I wasn’t there but I definitely watched it on TV. That screaming was always there during their shows. Now you can watch the evolution of their music over the course of less than a decade. Deep rabbit hole here 🌺🤯
♥ They came to the US in 1964 and quit touring in 1966 because the crowd was screaming and not listening, and 'Beatlemania' became too dangerous for the members.
Yes - Ed Sullivan on Sun night, fr/NYC. He had all the new music groups/singers/comedians/dancers! 1960s was happening! Saw this on TV at 5, then. The Beatles was the 1st of the British Invasion music groups! Big impact on US culture, society, art...!
Those screaming girls actually changed the world. The Beatles got sick of playing gigs that no one could hear, so they vowed to stop touring. ... Well, since they weren't touring, they could do anything they wanted to in the studio, without having to worry about how on earth they'd reproduce it on stage. The result was an exploration of sounds and techniques that forever changed the industry.
73 MILLION Americans were tuned into Ed Sullivan show to see #TheBeatles debut performance here. It changed everything. The best band ever (and no, I wasn't alive at the time.)
I've been a fan since I was 8 years old! I'm 66 now. Start with the early stuff and see the progression through the years. They changed music forever and influenced many artists that came later! Best band ever! Well, Led Zeppelin is up there too!
Definitely one to suggest is the Abbey Road Medley! It’s definitely a banger from the Beatles! I appreciate your channel Hoss! Keep up the positive content! Look forward to seeing what’s next!
Before the Beatles there was classical music, the blues, gospel and jazz. After the Beatles there was the 1960's and all that ensued. The Beatles and modern society created each other.
Here's some Beatles hits: Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane, Hello Goodbye, Your Mother Should Know, Baby You're a Rich Man, All You Need is Love, I Am the Walrus, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, With a Little Help From My Friends, Fixing a Hole, When I'm 64, A Day in the Life, Help, In My Life, If I Needed Someone, And Your Bird Can Sing, I Saw Her Standing There, Ticket to Ride, Paperback Writer, Back in the USSR, Dear Prudence, Glass Onion, Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da, Bungalow Bill, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Happiness is a Warm Gun, I'm So Tired, Rocky Racoon, Birthday, Sexy Sadie, Honey Pie, Savoy Truffle, Helter Skelter, Cry Baby Cry, Revolution 1, Hey Bulldog, Come Together, Something, Oh! Darling, I Want You, Here Comes the Sun, The Side 2 Abbey Road Medley, Two of Us, Dig a Pony, I Me Mine, Let it Be, I've Got a Feeling, One After 909, Get Back, Lady Madonna, Hey Jude, Ballad of John & Yoko.
I was 9 years old when the Beatles appeared on Ed Sullivan for the first time. The Ed Sullivan Show was HUGE. If an artist appeared on Ed Sullivan, they had pretty much arrived. And yes, the girls shrieked and screamed and reached for the Beatles wherever they were. It was annoying. And funny. You should check out the camera panning the crowd. Some of the girls look like they're about to pass out. "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" - those were more innocent times :)
Sir Paul McCartney is worth billions today. Ringo is still alive. John was killed in front of his apartment building. George is also dead. Their music followed historical events through many decades. A Cirque de Soliel (?) was dedicated to the history of their music.
this rabbit hole runs DEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPP! some of my favorites. Rocky Raccoon , Something in the way she moves, Yesterday, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Penny Lane, A Day in the Life.....
Great first video of Beatlemania. They started as a great pop band and ended as a great rock band. Also try The Rolling Stones in the 60’s there was always a rivalry who is better the Beatles or the Stones?
This Ed Sullivan performance is what made Gene Simmons from KISS want to be a Rockstar ..he said it in a video..he thought it was Amp feedback..until he saw it was girls
It's called Talent and Charisma.......................................................................................................................................................
Your boy Freddie idolized John Lennon (one on the far right)...he thought he was a genius...When John was shot by a crazy fan Queen were doing a concert and when they found out during the concert Freddie broke out in a famous Lennon song called IMAGINE...he didn't know all the lyrics but the audience did and were singing along...here is a video of this. The Beatles are the band that changed music forever...the screaming was called Beatlemania...hey are so loved to this day and their music evolved so much in the 7 years they were together...I love each period of their progression...do more Beatles and Queen. .love them equally...Have you done THE MIRACLE, LET ME IN YOUR HEART AGAIN, CALLING ALL GIRLS, MADE IN HEAVEN all by Queen. With the Beatles start with the early stuff first like: SHE LOVES YOU, IF I FELL, I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER, HELP..........
I was at one of their concerts at the Hollywood Bowl, and since I was only nine, the screaming was scary crazy! And since I was up front, they were all behind me and I kept glancing at them in wonderment!
That song came out when rock music was just starting. Parents, church leaders, School leaders hated the Beatles and hated rock music they thought it was evil. The Beatles help push rock music to the music we have today.
They played 5 songs that night, 3 at the beginning of the show and 2 at the end. The ED SULLIVAN SHOW was a STAPLE at 8 PM SUNDAY NIGHTS from 1948 until June 1971. MOST families watched it EVERY SUNDAY, I know MINE did. It was a variety show with all kinds of different acts, something for EVERY one in the family. I was 16 the night that the Beatles were on that first show on Feb. 9th ( I turned 17 on March 9th, 1964). I WOKE up to my clock radio playing "I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND" on Dec. 26, 1963, and I sat straight up and looked at my radio and said OUT LOUD, "WHAT and WHO is THAT?!" I had never heard anything that sounded like that before and I LOVED IT! I WANTED to scream that night watching it, but my parents were also watching and my Dad kept criticizing them and saying they looked "unkept"(?) and "they look like GIRLS with THAT hair, you can't even see their eyes!" That is EXACTLY what my dad said. Boys didn't wear their hair like that back then, but they sure started emulating that style not long after, much to the dismay of many parents. I saw them LIVE IN CONCERT on Sept, 15, 1964 when I was 17 and again on Aug. 14, 1966 when I was 19. YES I SCREAMED at both those concerts, and shed some tears too. THE BEATLES look "CALM" here because they were ALREADY USED to these reactions by us teens (adult women did NOT scream and react like that) it was mostly preteens and teenagers that did. They were used to it, because they were already popular in the U.K. and Europe through out 1962 and 1963. We didn't know about them until December 1963 when "I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND" was released here in America, after that they took off and became the biggest thing EVER. You HAD to have BEEN THERE to TOTALLY "understand" the impact they had on us. You should watch Ron Howards documentary on the BEATLES TOURING YEARS called "EIGHT DAYS A WEEK: THE TOURING YEARS" and in that you will SEE the kind of reactions (called "Beatlemania") that they had from fans ALL OVER THE WORLD. ( "Eight Days a Week" was also the title of one of their over 200 songs).
I was five years old when this first aired and I still remember my sister and I sitting in front of the tv screaming, lol. We were so excited to finally see them after hearing them on the radio.
I was like 6 years old and watched it on TV... It was a HUGE deal. We bought every Beatles album as soon as it came out.. They were a big inspiration for my older brother to learn guitar and I played drums on anything I could find to bang on. Fun times back then. "Twist and Shout" from the same show would make a nice folflow up.
You asked for suggestions of Beatles songs. I suggest: In My Life I am the Walrus Here There and Everywhere Tomorrow Never Knows While My Guitar Gently Weeps Rain Because But you really can't go wrong with any of their songs.
Back at that time the girls would pass out, cry they would tear their clothes off of them if they reached them, they had to have a lot of security. I believe once they tore up the grass where they walked! Crazy fans
I haven't heard this in Forever, I grew up listening to the stuff. I'm a child of the early 60s and going forward from that. Thank you for putting it on my radar again.
The screaming girls was a thing that happened every where they played all over the world, especially hear in OZ. They were screaming at the airport, outside the hotels where ever they played.. No other band ever had such intense reaction from the female fans..
It fascinates me, people that do not know the Beatles. I was born a month after they broke up, and they were still played all the time on radio growing up. It's like never hearing of Elvis, or Robert DeNiro, or Dave Chapelle. This isn't a criticism, it's just amazing...and I'm glad you found them. My hometown rock station, had the "Two Hour Beatles Hour" at 10:00 AM every Saturday. That was 1987-1989. A song that came out with one of their re-releases is "Real Love". The Beatles version (after John's death) was a hit, but the artist Regina Spektor did a cover that honestly makes me tear up. Not only were the Beatles the best rock combination of all time, there are so many wonderful covers of their tunes that I never tire of.
In their early years they did a lot of covers of earlier R&B songs. ("Roll Over Bethovan", "Please Mr Postman", etc.) One that sometimes gets overlooked is their version of "Long Tall Sally". It has "everything that uncle John needs, oh baby!"
This was America's first experience with the Beatles, which were part of the "British Invasion" of bands from the UK. The Beatles had American Blues influences.
One of the things that people overlook is that Paul and John wrote MOST of their many, many hits. Words and music! Some songs: Michelle, my belle; Imagine; Revolution; Yesterday; Hey Jude.
I was watching this night. I was so upset the crowd was loud I couldn't hear the Beatles. I remember crying. If you made it on the Ed Sullivan Show then you were something. You may remember many performances, Herman's Hermits, Tom Jones, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Dusty Springfield, The Carpenters, and many, many more.
This was their first television appearance in America!! Seven million American households were tuned in to see it. The rest was musical history that has influenced everything that has happened since!!
Actually, 73 million people watched that show!! 😀 And then the whole world changed.
I thought it was about 70 million viewers. Maybe they had big households
@@cuchulainx3125 👍 🤣🤣🤣
My brother, sister & I watched it. My dad sat outside on the lawn chair and ignored it and us
@@lisalaunius7389 We must have had the same Dad! 🤤
I cannot imagine a world without their music
have you seen the film yesterday(2019)?it's about a struggling musician who's about to give up singing when the whole world is plunged into darkness for 20 secs when the electricity comes back he realises this is a new world where the beatles (and other things)never excisted.he seems to be the only one who remembers them.ed sheeran has a cameo.it's good and emotional in a particular scene.lots of beatles songs.
@@sarablack2547 I love that movie!
@@ajruther67 it's good.i tear up at the scene with you know who at the beach cause you think if the Beatles actually hadn't happened this maybe were you know who ended up.
@@sarablack2547 Oh that part. Amazing how much he likes like John! Holy cow! Hard to explain how I feel about that part. It's bittersweet.
Not a life worth living.
Are you telling us you never heard of the Beatles. They were the start of what they called ‘The British Invasion’ it was like this wherever they played. They had to be surrounded by security everywhere they went. They would have tons of girls at the airport & everywhere they went. They would tear their clothes off if they could. That is Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison. & Ringo Star. They all had solo careers after they broke up. Paul & Ringo are the only ones still alive. John Lennon was shot & killed outside his apt in New York.
Listen to Help, Here Come The Sun, Strawberry Fields, Elenor Rigby, Back in The USSR, the list is never ending.
Ringo Starr on drums, Paul McCartney on bass on the left, George Harrison in the middle and John Lennon on the right. John Lennon was assassinated on Dec. 8, 1980, outside his apartment building in NYC. Fans were so crazy they couldn't tour any longer. All of them good artists in their own right. Deep, deep well. This is early stuff. Yes, Ed Sullivan was the show to watch.
The Beatles are truly legendary; their influence on modern music can't be overstated. They were prolific, innovative, and edgy, always evolving & setting off into new directions for others to follow. Check out "Across the Universe", "Help", " Come Together", "Revolution", "Michelle" for samplings of some of their sounds. After the group broke up, an entire generation held out hope for a reunion...but then John Lennon was shot and killed by a deranged fan outside his New York apartment. A few years ago, George Harrison also passed away. Ringo, the drummer, and Paul McCartney both still perform today though they are now around 80 years young!
The Beatles are the best-selling music act of all time. They hold the record for most number-one albums on the UK Albums Chart (15), most number-one hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (20), and most singles sold in the UK.
And the most number-one albums on Billboard (19)
I still can't wrap my head around the fact that they, The Beatles, accomplished all of the above in 7 short years.
That's why, when it comes to music and listing the best bands ever, you have
"The Beatles" alone at the top, then comes everyone else.
My guess is this....
If humans are still around in the year 3021, they will still be listening to The Beatles.
I can't believe you never heard of The Beatles! This was the beginning of the British Invasion of music. Their music changed as did their life style and as the hippie era began. Their sound will be different and amazing as you go through their library. I hope you do many and in order so you can see their transitions. I was 10 when they came on Ed Sullivan and jumped up & down with happiness. My Dad said their hair was too long. A couple years later he bought me a Beatle album for Christmas. Norweigan Wood, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band, A day in the Life, Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, Magical Mystery Tour, Across the Universe, Let It Be, Come Together , Back in the USSR, Helter Skelter. OMG.....I can't stop suggesting. My friends & I went to the show to see their movie A Hard Day's Night & the audience was the same as this. You couldn't hear the movie for all the screaming.
Checking out the Beatles is a rabbit hole the size of the Grand Canyon Lol.
I believe you just help coin the term "Rabbit Canyon."
@@lisawall3386 lol. Love it
In 1964 I was entering 4th grade, so I was 8 or 9. We were visiting friends in Bakersfield, California and we kids went into the den to watch the Beatles debut on TV. This song was so different from the do-wop and falsettos of that time. These gorgeous guys were handsome, talented, very Male, no falsettos, the Beat was strong and definite, and the end didn't fade out like all the songs of that time. Plus, it's a great song!
Exactly the kind of new music we needed. I was hooked!!!!!!!!
I wasn't in the crowd but I was one of 7 million people who watched that night...it was pretty phenomenal.
70 million!
I remember my family visiting my grandparents many Sunday evenings. We watched The Ed Sullivan and got a bowl of ice cream. Really good memories. Grandpa had a new 25 inch RCA color TV and we were all amazed by it. Grandma made sure that no one sat too close to the screen because she was sure it would ruin our eyes.
Dad was certain that the Beatle's long hair would cause damage to society. Hahaha
Dad was right. Society has never recovered.
I was 7 years old when we watched this live. I am now 65, and I still love The Beatles. They were, and still are the greatest musical phenomenon that there has ever been, and I really don't think they will ever be surpassed.
Try digging into their middle years and older years. There are SO MANY iconic songs from not only this band but each member on their own. Look for songs like "Let it be", "A Day in the Life", "Here Comes The Sun", " Penny Lane", "Black Bird" and "The Long and Winding Road". These are just a few of the many, many songs from this amazing group of talented men.
This is early Beatles. It's good to start there, because they evolved, right in front of our eyes, album by album. I've been waiting for a reactor to discover the Beatles in chronological order.
Check out Call Me Caroline here on TH-cam: th-cam.com/users/CallMeCarolinevideos
She is reacting to Beatles albums and singles in chronological order, and she has just worked her way up to "Sgt. Pepper's." She is fun to watch, and her angle is that she is a singer/songwriter -- she's heard so much about the Beatles that she wanted to know what all the fuss was about. Can she learn about songwriting and arranging from the Beatles? So far, she's been familiar with only a handful of songs... "With a Little Help From My Friends" was one of these very few songs. And she's had many surprises. Lots of fun! Notice also how many views she gets for Beatles videos vs. what she gets for other performers (such as ABBA). Clearly, there is a HUGE audience out there for Beatles content.
@@BobKovacs Thanks. I'll check it out.
I wasn't in the audience, but I was right in front of my TV the night this was aired and watching this makes it seen like it was yesterday. You young people will never experience anything like The Beatle phenomenon because its not likely to ever happen again. It's one of those "you had to be there" moments. The crowds were insane. As a matter of fact The Beatles quit doing live performances in 1966 because the crowds were so loud that they couldn't even hear each other playing on stage. The Ed Sullivan Show was THE show. If you were an entertainer and you made it to that show, you were on the top. And if you want to hear another good song from them, just pick one. I'm still a big fan of theirs but in my opinion, they didn't make a bad song. Great reaction.
That’s amazing! Wow so cool
The only song I don’t like is hey Jude
The members are from Liverpool, England. John met Paul at a church fete. John was playing there with his skiffle band. John was 17 and Paul 15. The rest is history. This group has influenced everyone and sold over 200 million albums. No artist has topped their success
Since this is your first viewing;
I suggest doing The Beatles music chronologically, so you can TRULY admire the growth these 4 went through in just 7 yrs time.
I can't think of another band that evolved and changed so much and remained just as popular and loved as when they started.
I am 68 years old I was about 11 when The Beatles came to America as I got older they were making some great music I thought and they really inspired me to learn how to play a guitar I still play to this day and I love it they were one of my main inspirations 👍🏼👍🏼🎸😎☮️❤️
This was their introduction in America and I saw a comment here that 7 million households tuned in that evening. Actually it was 73 million and still the largest audience for a TV show in history 57 years later. The shame is that John Lennon's mike (he's on the right) malfunctioned on this song, you mainly heard Paul McCartney here, he's on the far left. This was in February 1964 and I was going on six years of age and remember very clearly. In 64 these four looked and sounded like aliens too me although by today standards their hair is quite short. I was fortunate enough too see them right after I turned six in Pittsburgh at The Civic Arena, it was crazy, you could barely hear them with all of the screams. Back in those days the technology couldn't support a band like this, all they had were 25 watt amps. Could you imagine playing to like 13,000 screaming girls with only 25 watt amps. They graduated to selling out stadiums in 65 and by that time Vox made special 100 watt amps which was a joke. They were always ahead of the technology, like in the studio starting in 66 with their Lp Revolver and then in 67 with Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band they had too invent new technology as they went along. These guys were musical geniuses. The Lennon/McCartney catalog of songs will never be equalled. Greatest band ever and it ain't even close. There's so many great ones by them that's it's hard to recommend songs. I'll give you a couple of great ones though. The Beatles live at Blackpool Night Out 1965 performing "Help" really great color and sound for 65 and much superior to the Sullivan Show one. Another is the video for "Day Tripper" 1965, you'll love it and finally from their last album recorded together "Abbey Road" George Harrison's "Here Comes The Sun" with video. Make sure you do the 50th anniversary 2019 remix, it sounds incredible. This song is the most streamed by the band on Spotify with over 730 million hits. I've seen some cool stuff in my life. The Beatles and Paul, George and Ringo all solo after the band split up in 70. Bob Dylan numerous times, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Queen to name a few. More Beatles please but make sure you pause when doing them for they along with Dylan have the strictest of all copyrights, wouldn't want too see you get flagged brother. ✌️☮️💕
Wow, you finally got around to a lil group called The Beatles.
Lol.
Cool.
They are the most influential band of all time. The largest selling group of of all time. To check out their careers and music together and as solo artists will take years. THIS WILL BE YOUR DEEPEST RABBIT HOLE.
ENJOY!
Take note they never repeat style or music,
Every song is separate and new and different.
I remember seeing them on Ed Sullivan. I was very young. This was the start of Beatlemania and it still continues today. The Beatles are the most influential band of all time. The Beatles have six Diamond albums, as well as 20 Multi-Platinum albums, 16 Platinum albums and six Gold albums. They had 20 #1 hits and most of their songs ranked in the top 10. In addition, they all did very well on their own when the band broke up.
Back in the 50's and 60's, there were only a few TV channels... no cable, no internet. So everyone in America watched the same content day in, day out... Ed Sullivan Show was the prominent entertainment show that famous artists performed on.
The Beatles landed in America in early 1964 w/ a #1 record and appeared on the Ed Sullivan show... and the ratings had never been higher for any artist since. Everyone in America was watching... there r so many rock artists today who were kids when they saw the Beatles live on TV that became musicians.
Ozzy Osbourne said he saw the Beatles in the UK in the 60's and heard their records... that inspired him to become a singer in a band... he started singing in 1967 and eventually joined the band that became Black Sabbath.
That was the first song I heard from them on the radio, just before they showed up on Ed Sullivan. I was 8, and EVERYBODY knew which Sunday they were going to be on. The other song they would play on the radio was Saw Her Standing There.
I fell in love with Paul McCartney after seeing this show. They were the height of cool and yes the girls always screamed. Sometimes they screamed so loud you couldn’t hear them sing. Watched it all the way through, thanks Adogg!
Beatles A-Z, you can't go wrong. The most iconic band in rock n roll history
The Ultimate Boy Band when they started... ultimate musicians by the end that changed the direction of modern music. I saw them live in 1965, but could hardly hear them, despite being 17 rows from the stage because of the 20,000 screaming girls in the audience! They started screaming before the Beatles got on stage and went non-stop until they left the stage. But I loved every minute of it.
The werent the ultimate boy band when they started. They learned their trade in Hamburg and were very good musicians by the time they returned to England. Their audition tape for Decca was very good.
Okay, I seriously REFUSE to believe that this is the FIRST time that you’ve EVER heard a Beatles song!!? 🤯😱😳 it’s literally *impossible* to overstate what a critical role they played in the evolution of music and what an indelible mark these guys left on music/pop culture as a whole, not just during the years they were actively creating/releasing new music and touring, but even through today because of how they STILL inspire so many young people who turn out to be music giants. I think it was Chris Cornell actually who once said in an interview that he “considered John Lennon as more of a father figure to him than his own biological father ever was” 🥺 I’ve always thought that was such a crazy little piece of information, I suppose that is why it’s always stuck in my mind lol…I obviously can’t speak for anyone else, but I’ve ALWAYS considered Chris Cornell one of the most incredibly talented musicians, singers and songwriters of all time. What an absolute tragedy it would have been if he never took the leap into the music business because he never felt that inspiration that he got from John Lennon and the Beatles!
I remember when they came to Seattle. My father was a firefighter and assigned backstage at the concert. He wouldn't let me go. Ringo brushed against him and Dad got his shirt ripped off of his back for souvenirs. He was really mad because he had to pay for the shirt. It was many years before Dad could admit he loved the Beatles! LOL
This song seems pretty tame by todays standards but back in 1963/64 there was nothing like their music on the radio! They truly kicked the door down to inspire other groups to write their own music, explore different chord progressions, change of key in a song, change of 'time' in a song, and the list goes on and on! They changed the face of music forever!
Just to mention the 3 minute rule to get a song played on the radio. Then The Beatles released Hey Jude at 8 minutes long and the 3 minute rule disappeared forever. Another example of how big and influential they were.
I’d love you to go down the Beatles rabbit hole. Requests “Strawberry Fields”, “Here comes the sun”, “Norwegian Wood”, “Penny Lane”..so many great songs.
You should listen to one of the best and most beautiful love song ever written: "Something"
Forgot to mention, The Beatles were my first ever introduction to music. I was 3 years old in 1965. Changed my life forever!
Young kids just starting out. They would turn out to have two of the greatest songwriters in history!
What the Beatles accomplished in 7 short years will never be duplicated again EVER!!!
Actually if you start with their first recording of Love Me Do in 1962 and then to 1970 when they broke up, that is 8 years. Keep in mind that the U.S. and the rest of the world didn't know of the Beatles until 1964. Whereas they had already been popular for 2 years in the UK and Europe. Beatlemania was already widespread before those of us in the US heard them. So the US had to play catchup seeing as "I Want to Hold Your Hand" was really not a new song, but it was to the US. But if you think of ALL the work and struggles and playing 6-8 hour sets in Hamburg, Germany from 1960-1962 off and on (where they REALLY honed their craft). They were a working band for 10 years. SO yes, 10, 8 years is an INCREDIBLY SHORT time to create what the body of work they did and ALL BEFORE they were 30 years old!! TRULY AMAZING!!! NO one else WILL EVER MATCH that!! I am 74 years old and I was exactly one month short of turning 17 when the Beatles were on ED SULLIVAN on Feb 9, 1964, I saw them live in concert here in Cleveland, Ohio on Sept 15, 1964 and again on Aug, 14, 1966 (they didn't come here in 1965 because our mayor BANNED them from coming to Cleveland!!) I was one of those screamers too, it was all so overwhelming, we LOVED them SO MUCH and it was a way of letting our emotions out and frustrations at not being able to get close to them. I am STILL an avid fan and will be to the day I die. They had a more profound affect on my life than on most, I can't imagine what my life would have been without them. They are the soundtrack of my life. My 3 sons have even said on FaceBook that they THANK their existence for the Beatles "If mom hadn't been a fan she would never have met our father, who was also a fan (very long story) ANYWAY, I am GLAD I was there during that time and I feel sad that young people today couldn't have been there. It was an AMAZING and FUN time with SO MUCH GREAT MUSIC. RIP John Lennon and George Harrison, you are greatly missed. Many more years for Paul McCartney and Richard Starkey AKA RIngo Starr. BLESS YOU ALL
@@patticrichton1135 Their last recordings were done in 1969 even though they released Let It Be in 1970
"The Ed Sullivan Show," which was on Sunday night, was super popular all over the country for a long time.
This was the Beatles' first major song release in America. It was so popular that Capitol records had to hire three other record companies to share pressing the disks. I don't know if that has ever been done before or since.
You might want to check out more of the Beatles, such as "And I Love Her," "All My Loving," "Don't Let Me Down," "From Me to You," "I'll Get You," or "Come Together."
It’s really hard to explain to anyone who wasn’t alive back then just how The Beatles changed the world. They ushered in a whole new energy. It flipped a switch in me, that’s for sure.
I was 12 years old when this song was born!!!! Changed my life and thr music world!!! Beginning of the British Invasion!!!!🎵🎼🎶🥁🎤🎹💜💜
This is earlier Beatles music. They evolved throughout the 60's, finally ending as a band in 1970. There is a reason the Beatles are the most famous rock and roll band of all time.
EVERYONE in America watched The Beatles live on the Ed Sullivan that night. We had heard their songs for a month already. I Wanna Hold Your Hand was number #1 on the charts when they came! They sang 3 songs on that show and it has been said, there was no reported crime in the US while they were on tv. Even the criminals stopped to watch them! This was their American debut and it changed music and the Baby Boom generation forever! Thousands of kids went out and bought guitars and learned how to play and put their own bands together. The most successful bands in the 60’s and 70’s will tell you how much the Beatles influenced them.
The Beatles were my first music crush. I was 13 years old when this show aired.
I was also 13. I saw them in Toronto Ontario Canada in early 60s. My bf sister was almost passing out. We had beatle boots hats. Fun times
Same here! When the ad for them appeared for "The Ed Sullivan Show," my heart skipped a beat! That was in February 1964.
13 yrs. old-female, of course.....
The Beatles got their stage presence by serving an "apprenticeship" playing in the clubs in Hamburg, Germany. They were very young at the time, with the oldest (John) being just 20 years old and the others in their teens. George actually got deported from Germany for working underage. They slept in a storage room and played long, long shows in the nightclubs in the seediest part of a port city. By the time they were done with that, not much was going to throw them off their playing.
the beatles are the biggest band of all time,yhey changed the whole face of music world wide they have 100s of hits as a band and as solo artists,yesterday, hey jude, while my guitar gently weeps, are 3 of there best ones.at there concerts the women were sreaming so loud sometimes that they just never actually bothered singing because no one could hear a word they were saying.great reaction
The Beatles truly changed music forever when they burst onto the global scene in 1963. They brought excitement, innovation and those adorable Liverpool accents. What is most incredible is how much THEY grew and changed in the short seven year span between 1963 and 1969 when they broke up (and broke millions of hearts in the process). They went from THIS song to Sgt. Pepper and the White Album and it was a hella ride!
This was the first recording they released in the US. The Beatles changed music around the world. Explore all their music. You will not be diappointed.
Neil Diamond was a guest on "The Ed Sullivan Show!" He sang "Holly Holy." A bit of choreography in the background. It sounded great!!!
The girls were fainting, for real, out of longing. Also note their hair length was considered long and rebellious, lol. Women love a bad boy 😜
I saw them live on Ed Sullivan, they changed my life, I still play guitar, it's in my blood.
Women went bonkers over them, when they first came to the states. Hysterical
You've got so many songs to check out. She Loves You is another great song .Let It Be is one of their later songs, Hey Jude is another great song. Their catalog is huge.
I remember watching this. Looking back, this was not their best performance, but there was so much more to come!
The reaction to the Beatles with all the screaming was called "Beatlemania" Ed Sullivan probably had every big artists at the time. Way too many to list. His show was on TV for many years. The first time I ever heard them was Christmas Day 1963 and it was this song.
Arguably the best band there has ever been. They have so many great songs its hard to pick one to suggest. But how about Day Tripper or Paperback Writer? Or maybe Taxman? I bet you would like all three.
The Long and Winding Road, Hey Jude, Ob la di, ob la da, Penny Lane, Something, Let it Be, A Day in the Life
Bob Dylan, Dave Clark 5, Herman Hermits, The Rolling Stones, The Byrds are just a few that were on the Ed Sullivan Show
Best band on the planet. Influenced all of the music that came after them even to this day. I wasn’t there but I definitely watched it on TV. That screaming was always there during their shows. Now you can watch the evolution of their music over the course of less than a decade. Deep rabbit hole here 🌺🤯
♥ They came to the US in 1964 and quit touring in 1966 because the crowd was screaming and not listening, and 'Beatlemania' became too dangerous for the members.
One of my favorite Beatles songs is "While my guitar gently weeps"
Yes - Ed Sullivan on Sun night, fr/NYC. He had all the new music groups/singers/comedians/dancers! 1960s was happening! Saw this on TV at 5, then. The Beatles was the 1st of the British Invasion music groups! Big impact on US culture, society, art...!
Please check out some more from the Beatles. They are truly legendary. “Can’t Buy Me Love is another great one, but there are many many more!
Those screaming girls actually changed the world. The Beatles got sick of playing gigs that no one could hear, so they vowed to stop touring. ... Well, since they weren't touring, they could do anything they wanted to in the studio, without having to worry about how on earth they'd reproduce it on stage. The result was an exploration of sounds and techniques that forever changed the industry.
73 MILLION Americans were tuned into Ed Sullivan show to see #TheBeatles debut performance here. It changed everything. The best band ever (and no, I wasn't alive at the time.)
I've been a fan since I was 8 years old! I'm 66 now. Start with the early stuff and see the progression through the years. They changed music forever and influenced many artists that came later! Best band ever! Well, Led Zeppelin is up there too!
Their early stuff is great, fun and catchy, but their mid career and on catalogue is other worldly. Enjoy the ride.
Definitely one to suggest is the Abbey Road Medley! It’s definitely a banger from the Beatles! I appreciate your channel Hoss! Keep up the positive content! Look forward to seeing what’s next!
Before the Beatles there was classical music, the blues, gospel and jazz. After the Beatles there was the 1960's and all that ensued. The Beatles and modern society created each other.
Here's some Beatles hits:
Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane, Hello Goodbye, Your Mother Should Know, Baby You're a Rich Man, All You Need is Love, I Am the Walrus, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, With a Little Help From My Friends, Fixing a Hole, When I'm 64, A Day in the Life, Help, In My Life, If I Needed Someone, And Your Bird Can Sing, I Saw Her Standing There, Ticket to Ride, Paperback Writer, Back in the USSR, Dear Prudence, Glass Onion, Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da, Bungalow Bill, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Happiness is a Warm Gun, I'm So Tired, Rocky Racoon, Birthday, Sexy Sadie, Honey Pie, Savoy Truffle, Helter Skelter, Cry Baby Cry, Revolution 1, Hey Bulldog, Come Together, Something, Oh! Darling, I Want You, Here Comes the Sun, The Side 2 Abbey Road Medley, Two of Us, Dig a Pony, I Me Mine, Let it Be, I've Got a Feeling, One After 909, Get Back, Lady Madonna, Hey Jude, Ballad of John & Yoko.
I was 9 years old when the Beatles appeared on Ed Sullivan for the first time. The Ed Sullivan Show was HUGE. If an artist appeared on Ed Sullivan, they had pretty much arrived. And yes, the girls shrieked and screamed and reached for the Beatles wherever they were. It was annoying. And funny. You should check out the camera panning the crowd. Some of the girls look like they're about to pass out. "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" - those were more innocent times :)
"Something" - one of the best love songs ever. "Come Together" - "Ob La Di, Ob La Da" for starters. ❣️🤓
Sir Paul McCartney is worth billions today. Ringo is still alive. John was killed in front of his apartment building. George is also dead. Their music followed historical events through many decades. A Cirque de Soliel (?) was dedicated to the history of their music.
this rabbit hole runs DEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPP! some of my favorites. Rocky Raccoon , Something in the way she moves, Yesterday, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Penny Lane, A Day in the Life.....
Great first video of Beatlemania. They started as a great pop band and ended as a great rock band. Also try The Rolling Stones in the 60’s there was always a rivalry who is better the Beatles or the Stones?
This Ed Sullivan performance is what made Gene Simmons from KISS want to be a Rockstar ..he said it in a video..he thought it was Amp feedback..until he saw it was girls
It's called Talent and Charisma.......................................................................................................................................................
I love their early stuff...upbeat and happy. Their song Help is my fav. 😀
82 hit songs in 7 years. This was a good one to start with.
Your boy Freddie idolized John Lennon (one on the far right)...he thought he was a genius...When John was shot by a crazy fan Queen were doing a concert and when they found out during the concert Freddie broke out in a famous Lennon song called IMAGINE...he didn't know all the lyrics but the audience did and were singing along...here is a video of this. The Beatles are the band that changed music forever...the screaming was called Beatlemania...hey are so loved to this day and their music evolved so much in the 7 years they were together...I love each period of their progression...do more Beatles and Queen. .love them equally...Have you done THE MIRACLE, LET ME IN YOUR HEART AGAIN, CALLING ALL GIRLS, MADE IN HEAVEN all by Queen. With the Beatles start with the early stuff first like: SHE LOVES YOU, IF I FELL, I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER, HELP..........
Freddie wrote "Life is Real" a tribute to John Lennon, one of his heroes. It's on the Hot Space album, 1982.
I was at one of their concerts at the Hollywood Bowl, and since I was only nine, the screaming was scary crazy! And since I was up front, they were all behind me and I kept glancing at them in wonderment!
There is a Video you should look for. It's, 'Cilla Black Live On American TV (1964)'. The Bearles were there watching her.
That song came out when rock music was just starting. Parents, church leaders, School leaders hated the Beatles and hated rock music they thought it was evil. The Beatles help push rock music to the music we have today.
They played 5 songs that night, 3 at the beginning of the show and 2 at the end. The ED SULLIVAN SHOW was a STAPLE at 8 PM SUNDAY NIGHTS from 1948 until June 1971. MOST families watched it EVERY SUNDAY, I know MINE did. It was a variety show with all kinds of different acts, something for EVERY one in the family. I was 16 the night that the Beatles were on that first show on Feb. 9th ( I turned 17 on March 9th, 1964). I WOKE up to my clock radio playing "I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND" on Dec. 26, 1963, and I sat straight up and looked at my radio and said OUT LOUD, "WHAT and WHO is THAT?!" I had never heard anything that sounded like that before and I LOVED IT! I WANTED to scream that night watching it, but my parents were also watching and my Dad kept criticizing them and saying they looked "unkept"(?) and "they look like GIRLS with THAT hair, you can't even see their eyes!" That is EXACTLY what my dad said. Boys didn't wear their hair like that back then, but they sure started emulating that style not long after, much to the dismay of many parents. I saw them LIVE IN CONCERT on Sept, 15, 1964 when I was 17 and again on Aug. 14, 1966 when I was 19. YES I SCREAMED at both those concerts, and shed some tears too. THE BEATLES look "CALM" here because they were ALREADY USED to these reactions by us teens (adult women did NOT scream and react like that) it was mostly preteens and teenagers that did. They were used to it, because they were already popular in the U.K. and Europe through out 1962 and 1963. We didn't know about them until December 1963 when "I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND" was released here in America, after that they took off and became the biggest thing EVER. You HAD to have BEEN THERE to TOTALLY "understand" the impact they had on us. You should watch Ron Howards documentary on the BEATLES TOURING YEARS called "EIGHT DAYS A WEEK: THE TOURING YEARS" and in that you will SEE the kind of reactions (called "Beatlemania") that they had from fans ALL OVER THE WORLD. ( "Eight Days a Week" was also the title of one of their over 200 songs).
Check out the movie " A Hard Days Night" it is based on the Beatles story.
I was five years old when this first aired and I still remember my sister and I sitting in front of the tv screaming, lol. We were so excited to finally see them after hearing them on the radio.
God im old , the biggest band of all time they changed the world
I was like 6 years old and watched it on TV... It was a HUGE deal. We bought every Beatles album as soon as it came out.. They were a big inspiration for my older brother to learn guitar and I played drums on anything I could find to bang on. Fun times back then. "Twist and Shout" from the same show would make a nice folflow up.
You asked for suggestions of Beatles songs. I suggest:
In My Life
I am the Walrus
Here There and Everywhere
Tomorrow Never Knows
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Rain
Because
But you really can't go wrong with any of their songs.
Try the Beatles Yesterday. It's been covered by 1,000 singers but Beatle Paul wrote and sang it first
It was called. "BEATLEMANIA" ALL THAT SCREAMING.
I recommend "Let it Be" "Come Together" and "Yesterday."
Back at that time the girls would pass out, cry they would tear their clothes off of them if they reached them, they had to have a lot of security. I believe once they tore up the grass where they walked! Crazy fans
I can remember watching this on tv, sitting on the rug with the family. The Beatles were on tv it was a big deal. Enjoy
Without The Beatles, no Rock N Roll.. They have influenced many genres.
I haven't heard this in Forever, I grew up listening to the stuff. I'm a child of the early 60s and going forward from that. Thank you for putting it on my radar again.
The screaming girls was a thing that happened every where they played all over the world, especially hear in OZ.
They were screaming at the airport, outside the hotels where ever they played.. No other band ever had such intense reaction from the female fans..
Most influential band of all time
It fascinates me, people that do not know the Beatles. I was born a month after they broke up, and they were still played all the time on radio growing up. It's like never hearing of Elvis, or Robert DeNiro, or Dave Chapelle.
This isn't a criticism, it's just amazing...and I'm glad you found them.
My hometown rock station, had the "Two Hour Beatles Hour" at 10:00 AM every Saturday. That was 1987-1989.
A song that came out with one of their re-releases is "Real Love". The Beatles version (after John's death) was a hit, but the artist Regina Spektor did a cover that honestly makes me tear up. Not only were the Beatles the best rock combination of all time, there are so many wonderful covers of their tunes that I never tire of.
In their early years they did a lot of covers of earlier R&B songs. ("Roll Over Bethovan", "Please Mr Postman", etc.) One that sometimes gets overlooked is their version of "Long Tall Sally". It has "everything that uncle John needs, oh baby!"
This was America's first experience with the Beatles, which were part of the "British Invasion" of bands from the UK. The Beatles had American Blues influences.
One of the things that people overlook is that Paul and John wrote MOST of their many, many hits. Words and music! Some songs: Michelle, my belle; Imagine; Revolution; Yesterday; Hey Jude.
I was watching this night. I was so upset the crowd was loud I couldn't hear the Beatles. I remember crying. If you made it on the Ed Sullivan Show then you were something. You may remember many performances, Herman's Hermits, Tom Jones, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Dusty Springfield, The Carpenters, and many, many more.
