I saw The Beatles on Ed Sullivan on that Sunday night in Feb 1964. Our parents called us into the living room where they were watching TV. They yelled for us to come in quick and see this group that was playing. I kinda laughed at all of the screaming and didn't think much about it..... until my Dad brought home the album SOMETHING NEW.... that record changed my life...
Wow, you grandparents and parents were so cool
Happy guy you are !
I did as well, I was 8. My folks were playing cards at a friends house who had older kids. I remember hearing mom say to dad in the other room “ Should he be watching that ?” 😂. Dad said “ It’s okay “ Thanks dad ! Never forgot it 💥
I saw The Beatles live at Shea Stadium, NY August 15, 1965
Ed Sullivan may have been the biggest geek of the 20th century, but the man was a genius at knowing what performers people wanted to see on TV.
Shame JOHN LENNON could not be there...thanks to 41st Presidents order.
I was 7 years old when I saw them on the Ed Sullivan Show and my oldest brother suddenly was bringing Beatles record albums home and since then I've never stopped listening to the Beatles and all their influences of Black music that came before them and made me the musician I am today. Thank you BEATLES.
Will always be thankful that their music got me through a pretty crappy childhood. Will always love them.
Same here! ❤️
There will never be a band as good as the Beatles. They were unique in their talent and innovation. What other musical group still have their music played frequently today, and have new fans with each succeeding generation ? None !
+Graham Taylor The world will never see a band like that ever again.
This is the third time I watched this show - never tired of watching it. I was only 12 years old in 1964 when I first heard of the Beatles' music which I was truly captivated. Started collecting records, books and magazines about the Beatles, and in fact I bought from the Readers Digest in 1978 a collection of 12 albums released by the Beatles, and I still have that collection. For me, the Beatles as a band is the greatest of all time and their music will last indefinitely. I play any Beatles songs whenever my two granddaughters are in my car, so they will become aware of the Beatles phenomenon. Also ordered from Amazon the DVD of Ed Sullivan - the Feb 1964 show about the Beatles, which I played from time-to-time.
It appears no matter how many times you hear about the Beatles, its still is an amazing story !
The material in terms of films, documentaries, records, news paper articles and recorded interviews totals more than a few weeks back to back. Plus hundreds of books and so the output of material is colossal. Massive. Plus the volume is still growing. Maybe there is enough for a year with out repeats.
So true!
Yes yes!!
I absolutely love them.
And it always will be an amazing story.
I could listen to Peter Asher forever. His way of speaking, plus his high amount of first person Beatles information is so exciting to listen to. He's a wonderful source of Beatles history and his radio show on the Beatles Sirius channel is a must for Beatles fans.
ikrrr
Such a miracle that 4 young 15 year olds, living in approximate same area, possessed so much talent and create history that will never be repeated again. Especially advocating the theme in love and joy and humor.
A downright miracle for the benefit of mankind 🤗
They weren't all 15 yrs at the same time
Not such a strange occurrence as you would think . Peter Frampton,s father was the music teacher for his neighborhood friend David Bowie .
@@michaelsrowland they were when Paul & John started writing , some of those tunes ended up on latter albums
@@raymondmanderville505John was 17, Paul was 15. But, I agree with the larger point.
Hurray for Ed Sullivan!!! Sullivan gave The Beatles their Welcome-to-America appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” and two nights later the famous group played their first U.S. concert at the Washington Coliseum. Thank you, thank you, Mr. Ed Sullivan!!!!
60 years later and we're still talking about them.
There will never be another band that will even come close to what the Beatles were or accomplished, the Beatles music will live on for generations and generations!
You think?
I was 3 or 4 at the time that the Beatles performed on the Ed Sullivan show, but I know that their impact on my life since then has been immeasurable. And I've always loved watching the Ed Sullivan show on tv as a kid.
The Beatles...still the very best...how they changed our lives and kept us going
I Also like that John Lennon stood up for peoples rights and his own. Rest in peace John and may you and George be remember in Paradise. I wish I could meet Paul and Ringo I regret I never saw them in person in concert I'm a African American with a dash of Cherokee Indian in my blood I just learned to text last year I have a 40 year old daughter 2 granddaughter one 21 and the other 13 And I'm a great granny My daughter and family knows IAM a big Beattle Fan and all ways will be P.S I brought their records but not all of them and I have a few cassettes. Know almost all of their God Bless Everyone. Amen
Flying into Kennedy Airport in February of 1964, the Beatles wondered if anyone in America even knew who they were. 5000 screaming fans met them at the landing. They ruled the Billboard charts with five top hits.
I was at the Beatles last live gig 1969 . I was in the street below they were loud raw and Brilliant .
I remember February 9, 1964 like it was yesterday -------- the buzz ! The monumental thrill coursing through this 5 year old boy as they performed !
I look back in amazement. Slightly over six years after The Beatles appeared on Ed Sullivan, it was over. How do you go from "Love Me Do" to completing the whole Beatles catalog in such a short period of time. I know they had help, but whatever that help was it was the best available.
They changed my life forever i took guitar lessons after that 50years later i still play
What a priceless show this was. The late great Neil Innes was always fantastic. Great perspectives from those who were with the Beatles (Mick Jones, Pattie Boyd, Peter Asher). Felix Cavalieri's recollection of what it was like to perform on the Sullivan show. And then some of the fans who went on to make their own mark (Julie Taymor, Nile Rodgers). Such an awesome panel!
I didn't think it was particularly necessary to have Mick Jones there. I would have preferred to hear more from Pattie Boyd.
Neil Innes - the other John Lennon !!!
Neil Innes was also in the Holy Grail. He was part of Sir Robin’s minstrel troupe and sang “Brave Sir Robin.”
It's a mirracle...still is, since then. They came at the right moment in time. The way Beatlemania set off, the way the girls reacted , all over the world, never seen before and we will never see that again, with that much intensity on that scale. What I find interesting, is how did they manage to change their music, in the beginning making hit-records singles, to the great concept studio-albums with all that ground breaking recording techniques.
I enjoyed watching this, I'm so proud they came from my home town, the best city in the world!
Liverpool's a fucking shithole
Liverpool is a bit of a shithole, but i love it. Went there for my uni and i miss it from time to timw
One of my older friends went to the show in 1964. It was a belated birthday present from his father, a C-level at an energy company who knew someone C-level at CBS. I have a DVD of the whole show, and right around his 60th birthday, I brought it to his home and showed him (and his wife) himself at 12. He was shocked. And he was surprised that you could pick him out at all from the masses of screaming and excited girls, but there he was.
I wasn't born until The Beatles were privately breaking up, in July 1969, but they and their music has always been a major part of my life. There are a few artists that I don't remember a time where I didn't have some idea of who they were/are: Sinatra, Aretha, Michael Jackson, Johnny Cash, Bowie... and the Beatles.
Wow, awesome b'day present you gave ur friend, a dvd of the Beatles show and amazing he can see his 14 yr old self on it. Your friend was part of an historic moment in time and not much can top that.
Great show of course and it's really nice seeing Neil Innes. Neil a musical genius. Rest in Peace.
I love me some Rutles!
Neil was indeed a great artist! He was definitely a legend that will last more than a 'lunchtime'! 😎👍
@@Itsthatguy24Dirk, Nasty, Stig and Barry! Forever!!!!
This takes me back to the lunch time sessions on Saturdays in the Cavern again, being a kid, The Beatles where brilliant and lots of other bands also.
John was always swearing in between songs and only played cover versions of American Artists mostly, from records being brought back to Liverpool, by lads who worked on the Cunard Cruise Liners between Liverpool & New York, we called them the Cunard Yanks, the records they brought back where in demand, for the bands to be the first to get to learn the songs and play them.
To become the most covered band in history.
I was down at the Pier Head in Liverpool today, where the Beatles statue is located and the number of kids, tourist at it, is beyond belief, the age of them taking pictures etc, 90% weren’t even born back in the 60’s.
The world is a better place because of The Beatles.
So very true ...
Such an iconic group! Along with many other musicians from both waves of the British Invasion! My mother has raised me on wonderful music like this and I'm thankful.
OMG I'm so happy to find this.Thank You for publishing this
This is a total tribute to the Greatest ever Band in History, and deservedly so THE BEATLES
Laurie, Amen! 😎🎶🎸 God Bless.
Absolutely
-No. Was the Rolling Stones.
@@auggie803tm😂 the stones couldn't even call themselves the best Rock n Roll band til the Beatles split up and it was George that got them a recording contract!
@auggie803 as John, Paul, and George often said, "Whatever the Beatles did, the Stones did the same thing the following year." John even referred to it in the lyrics to I Dig a Pony, "I roll a Stoney, well you can imitate everyone you know."
Paul McCartney said that a couple of factors shaped their development. First, when they were starting everybody was playing the same music. Theyd go to a job and the group before them was playing songs they had intended to play. So they said, wait a minute, we need to write our own songs. And so it went.
People asked them- how did you write so many songs! Again, the record company said you have to produce two singles a year, and two LP's a year. So it was their job, they had to, to survive.
So out of necessity things happened effecting their development.
Of course they were immensely talented, that helped. And influenced from many sources.
The Beatles
I thought this presentation would be boring but it was not. The host asked great questions and the guests were actually delightful and insightful, especially Julie Taymor and Nile Rodgers.
I was never a fan of CHIC, but this interview made me a fan of Nile Rogers....I bought and read his book and learned a lot about his impressive career and life.
I adore Nile Rodgers. So accomplished.
My Beatle Tribute Band "Area 1" was very fortunate to perform with Gordon Waller when he first visited Manila about 8 years ago. He liked it so much, the next time he visited Manila, he brought along Peter Asher with whom I had a pleasant chat during rehearsal breaks. The tandem Peter & Gordon produced some of the most memorable songs in my life, with the Beatle songs...Gordon gave me some cd out takes of their hit song "Woman" and you can hear Paul McCartney contributing his suggestions. It sounded like a great session. God bless you Peter & Gordon!
Would love to hear your band sometime in the Philippines!
I must say i sat through the whole show and was entertained from start to finish. It took me back to the sixties when i was a little nipper and i even learnt a thing or two by watching it.I enjoyed every single minute of it and i think its one of the best musical rides i have had for a while. The Beatles were truly an amazing group and we should think ourselves lucky to of had them.Great post and thankyou as its much appreciated.
Very well said
I missed when this was on originally, and it's so great that they gave the (now) late Neil Innes a few minutes in the national spotlight. Good conversations throughout.
We always make it a point to watch on television the 30-minute show on Beatles every night before eating our dinner.
we were in far east also influenzed by them since 60's.
and they changed my life
The Beatles brought a lot of happiness listening to 45s and watching them on tv.they were so funny cute and talented.my aunt's got me every new record I would play over and over.i wonder if they brought happiness to many homes of kids growing up.
It's been a 56year love affair!
Joking right?
it would be nearly impossible to overstate the importance of this band.
God rest Neil Inness. One of the nicest and funniest men I ever met.
A wonderful tribute to the far reaching appreciation of & genius that was The Beatles. I don't believe that there is any band that transformed music & even the arts at large as much as the Beatles. Thanks for great music & the opening of minds, eyes & ears.
John Knottenbelt i
Thank you for this programme. The Beatles were the greatest band ever anywhere any time. I hope Paul and Ringo live forever. Their music will live forever.
frank young, Amen!😎🎶🎸 God Bless.
well - their music surely will - but for them - I already got tears in my eyes when I think about those two days the earth will stand still ...
Actually we still have only one original surviving Beatle and one reasonable facsimile. Many of us have been aware of that fact for decades and many are finally taking the time to learn the vast array of factual evidence that we now have available to us regarding the fact that Paul was replaced by Billy Shepherd in late '66. Billy is and has always been one hell of a musician, good enough to be one of The Beatles for more than 3 years and write some of their most iconic songs. But no matter how much we wish it was true and want him to be, he's still not Paul McCartney.
@@3Ddude101 c'mon - you don't really believe that - do you? I guess it was proven many times enough now that he in fact is the real Sir James Paul McCartney and not some look-alike - but I guess you belong to the same group as those who still think the earth is flat - wich was also proven to be wrong - or that 9/11 was just a big hoax and all the people died were cirminals ...
*sigh* some people tho ...
@@cryptearth Comparing me to a flat earth believer was certainly the work of a brilliant imagination. So creative. If it weren't for the dozens of others before you using the same comparison I could also say it was unique. But you claim it's been proven many times he's the original Paul McCartney. So it should be very simple then to give me just 3 facts that conclusively substantiate that claim. Produce those 3 facts that prove without a doubt he's the real Paul and then I'll give you a dozen very real facts that prove he is not. I'm waiting for your excuse.
I almost skipped this- glad I didnt. After 40 years of reading, playing, listening to everything British Invasion , this was a great group. Fresh perspectives from people who'd know.👏
How does it go?......Bing was afraid of Frank; Frank was afraid of Elvis; Elvis was afraid of the Beatles and 52 years later, the Beatles STILL ain't afraid of nobody!
Will do, my Friend!
+Sonny Crockett Wow well said my friend!!!
Sometimes I get it right.....
Ain't it the truth,lol.
that sums it all up, nice quote.
"We could've been called the shoes for all you know." LOL They were so funny as a group.
Thats natural Scouse humour- thats what we're like😂
I love the panelist's comment about the Beatles being influenced by black American music and throwing it back at USA. A very deep comment and so much truth.
Should have liked to have heard much more from Pattie Boyd, whose knowledge of the Beatles' creative process and the group's dynamics must have been considerable.
totally agree
She was certainly more justified in being there than some of them.
ABSOLUTELY GREAT !! I'LL SAVE THIS FOREVER, AND SHARE IT WITH ALL THOSE WHO WILL ENJOY IT. R.I.P NEIL INNES.
excellent guest, Innes, Asher and Julie were all outstanding. I still have the Rutles album somewhere, Neil Innes is really a talented guy, funny too. The Beatles continue to be amazing, one of the greatest stories ever told, IMO.
Peter was a great guest, but I felt he took too much time away from others. Neil was interesting. Julie had some great stuff, but was pushing too hard her "director's cut" mentality of interpreting the Beatles and projecting her own views onto them. Sort of Like Peter Jackson's deciding that Tolkien's "The Hobbit" somehow needed to be completely re-interpreted.
@@ModelTrainOutsider Peter had the most interesting information of all. That's why he was ASKED, so many questions.
Can't expect him not to respond
The Beatles are still the best & coolest band evdr!!!!!💟💟💟
Just saw Felix in concert. Still sings beautifully.
Just saw this for the first time. I watched the Beatles on Ed Sullivan as a sophmore in high school. I have followed all the documentaries, books and music for years. This was a really good panel discussion about the impact of that music on a lot of different people. I sure affected me as a musician and their music is still part of my playlist. I especially liked David who wrote Death Cab for Cutie. I went to high school with Death Cab's drummers father. Death Cab is one of the bands I respect as doing everything to make their sound and performances always sound the best. I think that's also what made the Beatles so great, they could play and sing and write and sound fantastic live. Live music is best...
I was too young to remember The Beatles performances on the Ed Sullivan. I was only 3 1/2 ! I didn’t really get into the Beatles until 1968 when the Hey Jude came out. I actually recall The Monkees 1st in ‘66 due to the TV show, but I also recall a Beatles cartoon on Saturday morning!
Paul was a driving force in the Beatles. He had so much to do with their creativity and evolution.
A big factor in them being so creative was, they were so successful, they could have unlimited time in the studio. Not just pressured by time schedules.
Relaxed, hanging out, experimenting. It was a fantastic opportunity. 👏
Of course Marijuana and LSD like Hall said (!)
No one ever wrote or played well in studio because of drugs. No one ever performed any task requiring great skill better under the influence.
All that is a rock and roll myth, designed to encourage ordinary people to wish to try drugs. Which was one of the objectives of a vast swathe of rock & pop culture since the early 1960.
We’ve been subject to steady and constant social engineering by people we trusted, who were puppets of hidden hands of the Tavistock institute.
Never has society been more comprehensively separated from the beliefs and practices of the generation before them that the kids who grew up in the 1960s & 70s. I was among them, born 1960.
Of course, we feel like we were the enlightened generation. In a way, we were. But while we still have affection for people and things that went before, we’re so unlike our parents. Bowie, for example, introduced us not so much to public homoerotica (he’s a straight man) as to androgyny. That was a big part of his appeal. That & not fitting in. He appealed widely to kids who didn’t fit in with anything. This flowed seamlessly into the raw energy of punk and on into the New Romantics.
The social engineers repeated the trick in the kids that grew up in the 1980s & 90s, including my oldest daughter.
I don’t think they’re anything like as separated from us as we were from our parents. I share a big slice of musical tastes with my children. Especially our oldest, who plunders the back catalogues going back before even when we were born, let alone when they were. Again, drug culture was increased still further in public acceptance and commonplace use. Oasis, for example, made ordinary the everyday use of drugs by the working class and Blur by the self-made middle classes.
There’s been at least one additional cycle, picking up influences from the late 1980s that’s still with today. I’m told by my kids that, in bigger cities, weekend drug use is extraordinarily commonplace, particularly in those who are or were deeply into dance / race / trance / house & acid house culture.
For a period, there was a time when wave upon wave of manufactured bands / artists where, almost for the first time, others wrote songs. I know this was always true of the Monkees, but never before was the was the sausages so clearly being made & consumed. Notice how commonplace was the breakup at or near their peak of popularity including with those we were never strongly caught up in the dance or other scenes.
Note how often one of two of their former bandmates went completely off the rails with drunk, drugs and unhealthy promiscuity.
The Tavistock is still there & engaged in their work and so are the former bands, some of whom were controllers more than passive subjects of manipulation.
On the next anniversary, it will be 60 years. Rock and Roll has not been the dominant form of popular music for 30 years and yet The Beatles are just as important and fresh as they were in 1963. Nothing left to be said.
I had the privilege of seeing the Beatles live in concert in September, 1964. I was eleven. I remember the audience was so loud, I couldn't hear a note!
"Seeing" the Beatles. Great.
What an amazing experience for you though!
Would that have been Dallas Memorial Auditorium September 18th 1964? They played here just one time and then the next year 65 they played Houston two shows, afternoon and evening
The Beatles couldn't hear a note either.
So you kinda know what it felt like to be a Beatle.
Wonderful retrospective about four individuals who will never stop be popular and loved by their fans- thanks.
Like so many I feel so grateful & blessed that my older sister and I were 2 of the 73 million that were watching that Sunday night. I will never forget & remember as if it were yesterday. Watching on my parents black & white tv we shared a bowl of popcorn. I was 12 years old then. I’m nearing 72 now. “Those were the days…my friend we thought they’d never end“ 😁
I used to listen to PETER and GORDON. Their singing and songs were great. Of course I really enjoyed every Beatle song that ever came out. My brothers really enjoyed Foreigner, so yeah all that great music!
Fascinating and a real pleasure to watch & listen....pity he didn't have a surprise guest at he end...Paul or Ringo or both!
The Beatles were the greatest band ever!!
A very well balanced panel discussion....very enlightening, great transitioning Anthony....^/^
"It's impossible to be in the business without having an influence from these guys".
The Beatles were by far the best band ever and they were very talanted in many ways! Elvis is still King!
An extraordinnary show for a super mega extraordinnary Band ! Thanks guys !
Just to say: “Yesterday” is a great song. If, as Peter Asher said, Paul was wondering if that very melody sounded familiar, it is because there was an old song “Yesterdays” that sounded, in part, a lot like “Yesterday”(singular). I am surprised no one has ever mentioned this. Paul’s father was born about 1900 and was a musician with a band. {"Yesterdays" is a 1933 song about nostalgia[1] composed by Jerome Kern with lyrics by Otto Harbach.}
In short, what fueled the success of the Beatles was not one , but four guys that stayed young at heart in spite of being bombarded by the chaos fame brings, as well of course as pot and Acid as John Oats reminded us !
True dat, but I'm more inclined to say two guys: Paul and John (in that order).
"The Shoes" -The Noses -Sexy Eyelash. So many great names they passed on ! At least the greats left us something.
More fun, nostalgia, and fab vibrations than I can type on this computer. Very groovy! Paul & I share a June 18th birthday. Nice to be part of this terrific show! * Love, Cav. *
What Patty says about the Beatles going to those amazing exotic countries and not being able to see it, because they would be mobbed. That was the reason behind John writing "Nowhere man" they went everywhere but couldn't go anywhere.
Anthony Mason never does a bad job - ever. From the economy to political stories to human interest, whenever I see his name on a news story/item, I know it will be done well. This didn't disappoint - and there were 100 ways to mess up this celebration - instead, he was great again. And so was the 'show'. Thank you, Mr. Mason!
JIM W. mmmotherfuckinhmm agreed
A lame 50th anniversary. They blew it.
The 23 years Mr. Mason referred to were September 1948 (the first live "Toast of the Town" featuring comedians Martin & Lewis) through May 1971, the date of the last live "Ed Sullivan Show." New and rerun taped shows continued on CBS-TV until the end of August, 1971.
I didn't expect to like this when I first clicked. I'm so glad I took the time to watch...these are brilliant insights - particularly Peter Asher. My favorite comment was from John Oates when asked how they could be so brilliantly creative over such a short period of time - and he answered: "after they started smoking marijuana and taking LSD...and then they were given a recording studio to work in - ARE YOU KIDDING ME?"
Yeah I agree, I got a belly laugh at that comment.However even though we know that those things changed the course and style of their music, they already had such a strong musical foundation(very important) they were able to integrate
and change smoothly.
I was offended by that comment. John took a few swipes at the Beatles and fame in his interviews. The Beatles were already writing new and creative music from the get-go, and they didn't suddenly drop acid or even smoke weed and suddenly get brilliant. While you may not hear any relationship between Love Me Do and Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, when you listen to each album, you hear the seeds of the next album to come and the roots of the previous album. Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds has more to do with John's Love of Lewis Carroll than LSD. Read some of John's pre-fame poetry and even his first two books- before he started smoking weed or taking acid- and you will find stylings which evolve into his later songs. The difference is, they knew they couldn't sing stuff life that in 1964, but by 1965 and 1966, they were able to do as they pleased. The Hard Day's Night album shows unique and intricate keys and progressions which they would expand on in later albums, before they smoked a joint. Yes, grass and acid affected them, but it did not write their music nor did they do anything while on it. They all freely admit they tried to write stuff while high or stoned and it all sucked. Sgt. Peppers owes just as much to their own open-mindedness toward musical influences and new art styles and George Martin as it did to grass or acid. This is the mistake lower talents and some fools fall into- that the Beatles were just acid and pot. Oates did acid and pot and what great songs did he write? A couple of 70's pop tunes with Darryl Hall, and H&O's fame in the 80s was all Hall- and none of their work is in the same galaxy as the Beatles.
Peter asher got paid off along time ago, to keep his mouth shut, he's the brother of jane asher who was involved with the original paul mccartney at the time of nov. 9th, 1966. The relationship ended, the other paul was'nt the same, to tall as will, how come she is shut mouth all these years
That's cool, but where were Paul and Ringo?
This was a significant enough event for everyone, including them, that they should have been there.
you try booking them
@@loosilu lol
Lennon and McCartney were simply writing songs from their own personal experiences. They were not channeling 15 yr old girls. Anyone could buy a ticket and attend one of their concerts
The MAGIC of The Beatles was that they transcended their songs. Most likely four other guys , could had written the same songs and "something would be missing" And "That something" I see when I watch the "Revolution" Video . I saw it with my 18 year old niece and she was "OH MY GOD THEY WERE SO CUTE" and I am thinking , NO they were just COOL. Paul is wearing a PINK top!" Three guys upfront with all the confidence in the world, style that REALLY made anyone before them look foolish (Elvis?) It didnt matter if they were all dressed the same , and bowed to the audience or on the roof top there was nothing that would tie them to a "look" . These were four kids with BALLS AND talent and THEY knew it and they were having fun with it. What are the chances of that perfect storm of those guys being born blocks from each other? That all of them were amazing actors in their film ? Why can the Stones NOT made a movie? Three of them 5' 11" tall ? And their famous cheekiness.. You must have the confidence that you were tapped by God himself (insert whatever the hell deity you want) The quiet Beatle stamped what would be their trademark "in your face": George Martin, thought their first takes were rough and unpromising, so Martin took the boys into the control room to listen to how they sounded - “‘And if there’s anything you don’t like, tell us,........'”And George was the one who took the leap, and he said, ‘Well, I don’t like your tie, for a start.'”
DONE , cut the bullshit . Life as the world knew it had forever changed.
People from Liverpool will never lose their scouse wit.
Totally the best I've seen in a long time thank you :)
Nower days I don't get internet to say stuff but Let this be THANK YOU.
It's nice that Pattie Boyd just has kept her young style, and not gone frantic about face lifting or what ever. She's just totally herself. Although some might see that as an insult, it's very much meant as a compliment.
To Per S: Of the highest caliber of compliment.
I wish they had let her talk a little more though. Peter Asher talked more than the others. I think Pattie could have given us a better understanding of what life was like as a "Beatles wife" . I've seen interviews of Cynthia talking about being married to John and she gave me an idea of how hard it was to be a part of a very exclusive group and yet be on the outside of the group. Per Spellman, I feel the same as you. Pattie was and is a beautiful lady.
i'm still wondering about the Eric factor and i'm now wondering if the narrator should have been female cuz obviously he did not understand BEATLEMANIA as i experienced it....raw rock from some majorly attractive people!!!!!gorgeous ,beautiful boys!!!!need more "female" input america is REALLY slow as far as equal rights and stuff goes
@@janwilcox4777 I agree. Her interview was enjoying, true and down to earth, as the others seemed still starstruck.
Pattie wasn't given a question to answer until 14 minutes went by, which was more than half the interview time. I'm sure she had much more information to give other than she wore a schoolgirl outfit at her first meeting with George and to agree with the others that Bridget Bardot looked good.
They changed the world.
When I hear people talk about the Beatles in appreciation of their later music as an introduction to them I can't help but believe that they missed the boat of what the Beatles truly are. It is the early so called Beatlemania stuff that first grabbed us and their later music that kept us. Maybe it is just me but I became a Beatles fan upon hearing the very first chord of "I wanna hold your hand" before that song even ended.
- my first conscious memory, at 4yrs of age (the youngest of 5), all of us upstairs in the girls' bedroom, listening on the record player (the initial Columbia 45"); when I hear the song today (as I have, life-long ever since), I can still feel it as I felt it then, the visceralness of the guitars, and the excitement (exuberance!) of the song from beginning to end; and the flip-side as well, 'I Saw Her Standing There', almost as much! I'm still playing the guitar, and of the Beatles' tunes, those early ones have always been the most fun to play (and sing, for that matter).
Sometimes, this era of the Beatles is a victim of their own growth. People forgot that Rock and Roll was on life support before the Beatles arrive. The early Rockabilly groups and creative forces from Bill Haley, to Elvis, to Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent were either dead or indisposed. Payola had destroyed most of Rock and was replaced with the Frankie Avalon-Paul Anka- syrupy white bread crap. Only in cities like Liverpool and Hamburg was the real buzz kept alive and the Beatles were the right talents at the right places at the right time. I always laugh when people say "The Beatles did 'I want to Hold Your Hand' while The Who were doing 'My Generation.'" That is not remotely accurate. The Beatles had done Rubber Soul, Revolver, the Strawberry Fields single, and Sgt Peppers before The Who did "My Generation." Yet, when Please, Please Me, From Me to You, She Loves You, and I want to Hold Your Hand came out successively, it was a nuclear explosion in Rock Music. It was both old and new and NO ONE was doing anything like it- not the style, not the energy, not the beat, nor the guitar play. It may be seemingly more innocent compared to the world changes 12-18 months later, but it was just as drastic a change from 1962 to 1964 as from 1964 to 1966.
immediately after hearing the first seconds of Love me do......
@@ModelTrainOutsider Well said. I could not agree with you more. I have heard some musical historians call Frankie Avalon, Fabian, Bobby Rydell etc; "Establishment Rock" which came largely from Philadelphia. The powers that be, music producers and record labels and yes most definetely payola tried to tame Rock n Roll but were totally unaware of a storm that was brewing across the pond. A perfect storm.
You're positively spot on. And while I embraced their entire musical evolution, the thing I find most amazing about their early period, is the fact it was just four lads knocking it out! Live or in the studio. None of the later studio gear (which helped them stay fresh and evolve) though again, nothing more difficult than four guys, with amazing songs, naked on the stage, and just nailing it. Can't beat the early era, and I dare say (where some songs are concerned) in their latter era (and given the times) it would have been nigh on impossible to play many of those songs live. Whereas they could play all the early stuff, and simply crush it.
The Beatles knew they were the best small band in the world while they were in Germany! Meanwhile, early performances show that they often sang wrong words and even wrong lines because Lennon knew that he could write complete lines in minutes. The rooftop is special in that they miserable up there, especially Ringo, and John, to ease the tension, as the camera pans to Ringo, changes one word in "Don"t Let Me Down" from "Dug" to "Done" and Paul and Ringo start to laugh and the rest is history as the performance becomes a classic as Yoko becomes the playful "butt" of the joke, as clever John can't resist the opportunity for mischief!
My mom won Beatles concert tickets from a radio station.

Adoro aThe Beatles,.vivi esa epoca y ha sido maravilloso..Tengo 66años....y a m o el Rock.
The Beach Boys where America’s band back then when the Beatles came over. Brian Wilson is a genius that influenced the Beatles and so many more!!
Yes he did! Brian and Paul were friends, Paul came to his house and performed “She’s Leaving Home” on the piano for Brian and his wife, it was a very much inspired by Pet Sounds. Brian and his wife both cried at the song, it was beautiful.
thank you thank you thank you this is amazing!
Where was I that Sunday night in 64? Glued to the Tube like everybody else. Thought for sure they were going to include the actual performance.
You could add another 20 years on our life's road and the people will still be whistling their tunes alas the rest of the band and my humble self will be ghost by then I for one will look to see if they get back for a long due reunion .
I love all of the Beatles personalities they are all different people and when they get together it's a magical mystery tour . P.S. I use to wear rings on my left hand fingers
A great docu...I'll be watching it again.
