Recorded for KRLA radio in Los Angeles on a day off from their first American tour, this interview took place after the Beatles visited Burt Lancaster at his home in the Hollywood Hills. Later that night the Beatles would go to the Whisky a Go-Go at the invitation of Jayne Mansfield. There George would throw a glass of water at a photographer and accidentally hit Mamie Van Doren! - เพลง

"They pay the money, if they wanna scream, scream. We scream; literally, we're just screaming at them only with guitars. Everybody's screaming; there's no harm in it." I love that logic.
Bet he didn't feel the same two years later.
@@westwoods7675 I'm starting to think they were being shut down later on.
@@user-yz9kz6vt9y it's possible, who knows what might have happened to them behind the curtains.
@@westwoods7675 This Beatlemania thing burnt him out (and George as well), I think.
I love how the interviewer laughs so genuinely at John's humor.
Who is the interviewer?
“Good night and thanks for the bread” L.A.
I think you would have to be a Scouser to appreciate that John was putting on a thicker Liverpudlian accent at times to emphasise some stories about his childhood days.
What a laugh John is/ was! Wouldn't like to be at the cutting edge of his humour though.
John's interviews (in those mop top days, and often later too) were always so humorous and intelligent. His speaking voice and quick wit was every bit as impressive as his musical ability.
They seemed to be enjoying their time together; very comfortable together.
John was by far the best at interviews. Always witty and charming, except when he was tired or bored (or both). Then he was still gloriously entertaining with cutting remarks and sardonic observations. As he mentioned in this interview, he "was a failure at school", but methinks he was almost always the most intelligent person in the room.
john voice is soft and so relexing
@Jennifer Feather Same. I make it a point to listen to John, regularly, still.
His voice is amazing.
@@tinakarambelas3350 It's like he's singing even when he's talking.
before hard drugs..and yoko
"The success of the Beatles will continue for a long time, but eventually it will taper off" 57 years later still popular.
When released in the 2000's, the Beatles "One" album was in the top 10 biggest selling albums in history.
Man john could have been a stand up comedian lol, dude was freaking hilarious
Everybody talks like that in the north of England . Especially the industrial areas .
Quick witted.
How resting to hear that clear young voice speaking. John Lennon, you are deeply missed!
"The success of the Beatles eventually will taper off.." couldn't have been more wrong
Six years later they had disbanded never to play together again - in fact their last show was only 2 years away. No one at the time had any concept of ever lasting success, as pop music was ephemera; 'Greatest Hits' didn't exist and the 'retro' phenomenon hadn't become the thing it is today. The Beatles have become more popular again as contemporary bands have become totally insignificant. I was a teenager in the 70s and the Beatles were not in peoples consciousness as they are today.
@@FiveLiver Yes that's true but asking John Lennon what he's going to do for a living once the Beatles success is over seems a bit preposterous when put into perspective
@@roadArt132 In 20/20 hindsight only - Ringo was talking about opening a hairdressers, Paul thought they might go into cabaret - there was no Beatles before to show them where the rock pop phenomenon was going. This is 1964 Americans had only known of them 6 months. Their contemporaries Gerry and the Pacemakers and the Searchers were now old news. There was only Elvis and Cliff who had stayed current past their initial success.
@@FiveLiver The Beatles were still very relevant in the '70s, more than they are today. Partly because they were such recent history back then, partly because they had such strong influences on other bands playing in the '70s, and partly because all 4 members had successful solo careers in the '70s. It wasn't 'til the '80s arrived and Lennon was gone that The Fab Four began fading from view.
@@Cosmo-Kramer The Beatles have never been more relevant than today because their immensity as creative and cultural figures is thrown into relief by the total absence of comparable figures. The very early 70s still carried the torch for the Beatles in their new roles, but it petered out with new movements and stars emerging for the glam rock/teeny bop era. John Lennon's resurfacing in 1980, only to be cut down, created a resurgence in interest in the Beatles. If you want to know what the level of interest was before that check out the Rutles. Lennon himself had poured cold water on the Beatles phenomenon, and that became an attitude amongst many. The Cavern was demolished in 1973 (only to be rebuilt in a slightly different place later) nothing better shows how their star had faded in those times.
I Love John! Especially in this interview and at that time. So articulate, intelligent and funny!
Seems like the interviewer honestly likesLennon.✌🏼💕
"good night and thanks for the bread" rip john
If I could have a friend any friend throughout history I would hope it could be John. He understood and cut through SO much bullshit at such a young age….and he was so genuine as was his love of rock n roll.❤️
He may never have had any big answers, but he was always asking exactly the right questions.
I love the sound of his voice, he & Ringo had the best sense of humor. John always made me laugh @ the craziest things. ❤️💔
Great photo John.
All questions make sense. One of the few in the early days.
Yes, such a wonderful change from the "what will you do with your money" interviews
@@jprg1966 yes. the guy was sharp, on point. a lost art
I can't remember who this guy was, but he was with them on the whole U.S. tour and got to know the band pretty well. They liked him and vice versa.
Yes. This guy was on the ball. A welcomed change of pace from the hacks.
This has to be the most candid interview from Lennon's Beatles years ever. By 65 there would be a heavy public facing mask.
I love his voice in the early days
That was pre-yoko
@@robd1329 the good ole days
@@grahamjarman
Before she took his balls
@@wendyjohansen6174before he was replaced by a look alike
I loved his voice any time.
John's wit and acerbic humour shine through in this interview; had the world at his feet here and still sounds like he's chatting to a friend over a pint in the local pub,,,
Nothing acerbic.
I love this. 2021, and still being gifted these treasures.
Love hearing this radio interviews.
I'd rather hear this than today's stuff.
John was right about where Ringo lived as a boy. Today it is a boarded up building. Paul's on Forthlin Rd . was modest but not anything like Starkey's. George's was maybe between Paul's and Ringo's, but John lived in a nice neighborhood with his Aunt Mimi. He ALWAYS stood out from all accounts of his mates. Loved this interview.
In 13 months he’d be starting work on Rubber Soul.
True! And this was during Beatles For Sale! It’s amazing how much they accomplished in a short time.
@@tucker7091 John, and the others, to varying degrees, was always evolving. Right up to the time they killed him.
George Martin would be yes.
🇬🇧 🤝 🇺🇸
Wonderful interview. They loved the early amazing years.
Very witty and honest at the same time. John sounds very relaxed.
This interview was on the very day I was born. Too Cool
old.
Ross that is pretty damn cool!..I was born the very same day as the Beatles filmed the ',I Shouldbe known better' sequence in the film Hard Days Night
@@killingmewillnotbringbacky9177 You are extremely rude. An attitude like that will no doubt carry you far junior. Good avoiding those flying fists!
@@obbor4 How is it "extremely rude" to say one word of description? You must be one of those easily offended types.
@@killingmewillnotbringbacky9177 Nope. Your just an offensive person and probably aren't even aware of it. As I said, good luck with that.
Great interview - you can tell the reporter is younger because he doesn't try to patronize Lennon and gets away of the cliche questions quickly.
This is an interview from the Vee-Jay Records album called "Hear the Beatles Tell All" released in 1964. This is from Side 2 with John being interviewed by Jim Steck.
Mark Bignell; This was the used on the Vee-Jay album, but here it is without all of the annoying drum overdubs.
@@b.deville3236 Exactly. The drum overdubs were annoying. I still have the album. Cheers.
@@bandcouver The only reason that was done was so that no other radio station could dub its own announcer asking the questions.
Happy to have heard this interview!
I love John! Great interview, very calm
Johns wonderful sense of humour was disarming. This interviewer is asking some of the more intelligent questions comparatively to the standard question of the era which was "what is your favorite color?"
Yeah true , I remember one tome Keith Richards said that he liked the crazy questions it was so much more fun, Questions like what color are your eyes? and Keith said red
John Lennon, one of the greatest composers in the world of all times. Do you agree ?.
I agree.
@@wainstallsboy. Yes. 👍
Also Paul and George had good songs. Bob Dylan got the Nobel prize un Literature. I am not fan of him.
@@ladyy9085 . Yes.
Yup!
What an incredible interview... This seems to be John in his most truthful form.
And who is the interviewer? Perfect questions.
Love the working class northern British accent.
Scouse.
John wasn't working class, Mimi would have a fit at that!
Very candid & modest about how they first developed - still seems shell-shocked by it all
This is a great interview. These days you don't get such quality interviews.
Saw the Beatles live Christmas show 1963 at finsbury park Astoria aka the rainbow, just before they went over to America, fab lemons voice fab
Wonderful interview.
He was 23 years old when this was recorded.
23 i was playing video games
Wow
So good with Cynthia. That is all.
Thanks for the interview !! Asking what they will do after the fame , is like asking someone to give up their God given talent ???!!!
12:08 lol! I love him!
"Goodnight and thanks for the bread....." LOL
This is awesome! Where do you get these kinds of interviews?
By googling.
Thanks for the upload. Appreciate it!
I haven’t heard this, since 1964.
The interviewer is laughing his ass off. Some of John's answers were so funny you can hear him crack up the interviewer, ha ha ha. All 4 of the Beatles were funny.
After listening to Cynthia Lennon’s book on John starting from the very beginning to beyond his death, I loved his music and my opinion of him as a person has drastically changed. Hearing her side really changed my opinion.
I was surprised they mostly left her out of The Beatles history. I'm glad she was able to tell her side before she passed. Loved listening to it.
I felt the same way after I heard those. Unfortunately he never was able to right those wrongs before he died. Yoko also played a big part in it but ultimately it was John’s decisions. I guess thats why they say never meet your heros
@@mr.cowboy4960 May Pang and Cynthia got left behind and Yoko always was linked with John so I'm glad they both got their stories out there. I feel they are much more honest about their relationship with John than Yoko is.
Yeah, really she is a bigger part of The Beatles story as she was with him from the Cavern, through first fame and even through the India Guru phase. Yoko only arrived right at the end.
What’s the book called!
Great find. Thank you for the upload. ;)
My pleasure!
Gotta love John. ❤️

It is so nice to have found this interview without all those noisy Bongos in the background
I agree John has a brilliant sence of humor a excellent voice. I love. His voice Paul has a brilliant voice to George's voice is nice to and Ringo's is different but good All together The Beatles voices blend in together supremely different voices all in harmony Also John's humor is good I have a sence of humor too. It's just called having Fun I'm also shy so I would act the same way. Luv you all 70 years young Beattle Fan Yeah Yeah Yeah
Gracias por poner Subtitulos !!!!
August 24, 1964...Los Angeles...Lennon interview with DJ Jim Steck...
Great to hear them mention Dave Hull who was a D.J. for KRLA in Los Angeles.
This interview is on Vee-Jay records’ “Hear The Beatles Tell All” interview LP.
We were at their Hollywood Bowl concert in the early 60s.
It's not that this is a lost interview, it just doesn't have the Hal Blaine drum overdubs that Vee Jay put on it for "Hear The Beatles Tell All", the cash-in interview album they put out in '64. Thanks, Jason.
Right before they came here in indy on Sept 3rd& 4th. Thanks John Paul George and Ringo.
Goodnight and thanks for the bread.
"Lost"? I've had this on an LP for decades.
Yes v j record this interview does not have the crazy jazz instrumental background
It's interesting to see the plastic cup John is holding in the picture. I had forgotten them until now. They were out of vending machines. Tea, coffee, soup and hot chocolate.
Goodnight and thanks for the bread
In1982 my mom and I went to see Adam Ant there was 20.000 at the gamont theatre
People on the streets that night i remember this cab driver telling us about when the Beatles played at the gamont theatre there were 90.000 people on the street at that time back in the late
1960s you couldn't walk the streets at that time also during this time British disc jockey Kenny Everette Maurice Cole traveled with the Beatles to get interviews with them when they played at the Hollywood bowl i loved Kenny Everette in broke my heart
When I heard he died of AIDS he was with the Beatles on their tour of the Hollywood bowl
This interview is really not lost. It’s one side of the VJ LP Hear The Beatles Tell All, which can be found if you look for it.
“Things WILL taper off…” 🤣😂
Not bloody likely 😊!
Someday, maybe. I'm actually going to see a Beatles tribute band, at a local park, tomorrow. They pack the place every single time!
The interviewer was really trying to ask good questions. John was doing his best to treat the process with respect. His weariness comes through, though. Still managed to muster up enough for some quips, though. Nice little window into what life was like for them when on tour.
Good night, and thanks for all the bread.
He was so hot and handsome back then. Drugs and Yoko made him extremely thin and sickly looking 😢💙
Yoko starved him, did she?
@@sameoldcabbage I didn’t say that! Don’t get your knickers in a twist
You got that right after he left Cynthia he went down hill fast, he looked Pale and thin.
@@sameoldcabbage - Yoko was a heroin addict and introduced him to heroin. George said how much it negatively affected him creatively. He was a grown man and made his own choices but heroin grabs a person quickly, especially one with the issues John already had. When he disappeared from music for years that was typical behaviour of an addict and he looked like a smackhead when photographed through that time. Heroin cost the world a lot of Lennon music for sure. The rest of The Beatles have never really spoken about it because Yoko is still alive and they have to work with her but buts have slipped out in interviews over the years.
She also pressured him on a macrobiotic diet. A worker there said she used to cheat and eat hidden chocolate when John wasn’t around.👉🏿
Better answers than the questions deserved. Did the interviewer not know that Britain's population at the time was about 50 million? Compared to 200 million in the USA?
I can't figure John out, he seems to be so familiar... like a distant cousin, I can't explain his aura.
All the four of them had a tremendous charisma early on. George Martin didn't know much about pop music when he first met them, but he signed them right away based on their charisma, as he could tell that alone would sell them.
He is incredibly interesting.
my Hero
Hear John Lennon tell all! Without the drums or edits.
💯 young adult persons, very good very good,
The way he talks in his early years I like better than the way he talked later on always sort of having this attitude. When he talked like this he had a real charm. After 66 he just became more in your face with his voice. It's kind of a turn-off now. His voice sounds more carefree in this interview and all the interviews from this period.
I think that's because the media started antagonising them in '66.
Lennon always had that attitude, but with the media he knew how to be charming, and before the Bigger Than Jesus flap was kind of unguarded with the media, too. He was unofficial band spokesman, and enjoyed the back and forth alot.
@@billslocum9819 He actually said he was "Big on all cheeses " , and was misheard . And the rest as they say, is geography .
@@chasleask8533 😂😂
he grew up----- well, almost. Would have done, if he hadn't been slaughtered
Has this for years, I think Larry Kane is the interviewer, they liked him so he was on the US tours 👍
It's a DJ named Jim Steck...
ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE. JOHN LENNON. SMART MAN. SHOT IN THE BACK. SO SAD.
Wow. The interviewer had much better questions than the usual inane questions they generally got in those days.
John's so cute
This was took from the album “hear the Beatles tell all” from Vee-Jay records
“ Goodnight and thanks for the bread”.(ha ha)
JOHN LENNON - The Found Interview
Not really "lost" as such, the part at 2:23 with John explaining how he got the name, is actually featured in the Anthology series.
Did I mishear or did the interviewer say he was the actual guy that drove the car out of the bowl for them?
You didn't mishear
Regarding noise and frequency spectrum, the quality is better than I feared, but it sounds a tad too slow and deep.
In 1964 other groups like The Dave Clark 5 were much more popular than The Rolling Stones yet The Beatles were smart enough in 64 to see where the music was headed. They were already friends with The Rolling Stones who would become huge in 65 and with Bob Dylan.
That’s what killed the Dave Clark 5, their lack of musical evolution
John Lennon and Paul McCartney are great composers and so is Smokey Robinson
Makes sense beat-beatles
Trolls everywhere now...lol...good interview..never heard it before...thanks.
Lost this is VJ records interview without the crazy music background
As honest and non-jokey as can be.
Is this Larry Kane (WCAU TV-10 in Philadelphia) interviewing John?
al right der mate how ya doin la
This is not lost interview it's been around on cd and records for years with Larry Kane.
Hear the girls giggling in the background ❤
Is it Paul laughing in the background/next to him? 😅 John is so brutally honest.
Sounded more like a female fan to me.
Is this really lost? I think I've heard parts of it on the Anthology documentary.
Bought these interview on a bootleg LP in 1980.
That’s my birthday
How did you come up with long hair, how long have you been together, when did you cut your record?
Please notice the words long, short ("short ride") and cut.
Not to mention:
"it will taper off".
Off the record?
