Brian was largely responsible for putting the Beatles in the right place in the right time. Without him, they would probably have never been half as big as they were. He was the glue and after his death...things were never the same and never would be.
Epstein made a lot of suggestions regarding presentation, and he was right on all of them; no smoking on stage, no eating on stage, no bickering and jossling each other on stage. He cleaned them up, and their behavior, and it made all the difference at the outset.
Wow, what a classy guy!! I've read comments regarding his homosexuality and how maybe he and John had something or not ... WHO GIVES A SHIT!! This man was pure gold, he loved those boys and legitimately wanted to see them succeed. He wasn't a bloodsucker like Colonel Tom parker whso squeezed the lights out of Elvis, this guy was a friend to the Beatles. He cared. what a class act! Pity he died the way he did and so young, too.
God rest his soul. Being a Beatles fan for more than three decades has taught me that despite Brians' many problems, he was a true gentleman and a true friend. He would have had a longer life if he had someone in his life who really loved him. I think the gay community call that a "Life partner". Anyway without Brian Epstein The Beatles would have been no where has great as they turned out to be. Thank you very much Brian.
Comon Eppy you can take the credit..You DID change the Beatles fashion style by persuading them (especially John was reluctant} to ditch the leather suits for the famous Grey collarless Beatle suits they wore in the early days of their fame..Thanks Brian for guiding them to fame and fortune and helping make them the biggest band in the universe..RIP
A true visionary. No one was more responsible for '60s culture than Eppy! This is the only interview where he admits he heard of the Beatles well before the record store request.
I remember John Lennon once said it was like the Beatles and Epstein were all from Brooklyn New York, and the Beatles kept their Brooklyn accents but Brian talked and acted like he was a graduate of Harvard and that is what got the suits in London to listen to them, otherwise they would have never have gotten a record deal in a million years. The industry in England back then was so incredibly bias against provincial acts. That`s why I hate snobbery, it closes so many doors on both sides.
I love how epstein accurately predicts the beatles will be successful for "many years" but it will a "mature success." His early insight into the Beatles' talents was remarkable.
Paul says quite clearly when Brian suggested that he would let another person (like Robert Stigwood) manage them instead by saying "If you pull this off Brian every single we release afterwards would be an out of tune "god save the queen". Its shows how irreplaceable Brian was.
Thanks for the comments. Brian Epstein being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is a marvelous idea. Epstein had a massive role in shaping the British Rock music of the early to mid Sixties, and his influence is felt right up till today.
Very intelligent man with a lot of foresight. If he had have lived and the Beatles hadn’t, subsequently, made so many foolish business decisions, who knows how long they might have lasted...
I agree. He has a pleasant enunciation. I read somewhere - perhaps someone else's comments on youtube - that he perfected his diction while studying to be an actor at RADA.
Yes! When Brian said (early in the Beatles' career) that they would be more popular than Elvis it probably seemed pretty outrageous, but TIME HAS PROVED HIM CORRECT. Amazing foresight!
Kane's book - "Ticket to Ride" is a very good read, he creates a great feel to the US tour of 1964 and 1965 - when he traveled with the Beatles on the tour airplane
Thank you tunenito. According to Ray Coleman, "I think there is no doubt that had they not had a manager of Brian Epstein's determination - I don't think they would have emerged from Liverpool. Without Brian Epstein, we wouldn't have seen the Beatles. That's my strong view." Without Brian Epstein, we would not know the Beatles.
Fine analysis! Ubdoubtedly, Brian was a huge part of the Beatles' success. Metaphorically speaking, he took the Beatles from the cellars of the Cavern club and presented them to the world. That's quite an accomplishment. PS The genius of the Lennon / McCartney music helped too. LOL!
Leading up to the Ed Sullivan appearances the local radio stations were playing their songs and hyping them, and we were warming up to the new sound, but it wasn't Beatlemania (in the states) until the Ed Sullivan shows. The visual element was crucial.
Classy guy...Brian Epstein is the "unsung hero" of the British Invasion. FWIW that is not Larry Kane (who is an aquaintance of mine), but thank you for posting the interview.
Tunenito, Peter Brown's book was written for spite. It is loaded with false gossip, innuendo, and downright lies. He was banned from Beatlefest when his treachery was discovered, but that didn't stop Albert Goldman and others from picking up where he left off. It's a disgrace. THANK YOU for this video!!! I cannot thank you enough!!!
I agree. The Beatles knew it too, that's why they always seemed to forgive him for all his screw ups later. The world is full of talent that has been left undiscovered.
Larry Kane is a pretty common name. I was assuming it was the Larry Kane who had a music show in the 60's based from Houston and was syndicated to the rest of the country for a while.
@rpscot Hey there rpscot. I was lucky to have them 3 times here in San Francisco @ the Cow Palace 64' and 65'. And to have seen them in their last performance @ Candlestick Park in 66'. And I can tell you this, that 64' concert @ the Cow Palace was the most incredable concert I've ever been to. The scream from those girls was unbelieveable. You cannot imagine the intensity of that sound. My cousin, who bought the tickets for me (for like $8) had some inside connection and so (cont)
@spactick I completely agree on one hand. George Martin was in fact a musical genius. But really, the Beatles had honed their sound in many ways long before they recorded with George. Playing on Top of the Pops and doing live gigs in Hamburg made the difference. George did a lot of novelty things with them, too, like "fake" stereo. Brian made sure they were heard, made the right appearances, got the right deals/exposure. Without that exposure, George's work wouldn't have made a difference.
Brian was indeed the catalyst for getting them moved in the music industry.By the way,that isn't Larry Kane interviewing.He was an Ch.6 Action News anchor for years in my region,Philly.Larry is not the guy interviewing.
Tunenito, thank you for this video. It sheds more light about his relationship with the Beatles. If anyone would like to sign for Brian Epstein to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame, either visit his official website or my channel and click on the link. Beatlefest is pushing to have him inducted. Sir George Martin has signed. They would like to receive 100,000 signatures. Thanks!!
I have no idea. He looks a bit like Larry and even sounds a little like him so I can see how someone could think it was him. I suspect Larry would know who he is as he conducted countless interviews with the Beatles while on tour w/them in 64/65 and was part of their close knit entourage. He also speaks very highly of Brian. Thanks again for the video.
@spactick I was in Seattle for the show there. All I got to see was the newspapers and the coverage was incredible. I saved all the papers for years until a leak in my garage ruined a lot of my collectable print material, including my cousin's ticket stub that he gave me. Oh well. I envy your luck in seeing the fab 4 in all their glory! How Lucky Can You Get?
That makes sense - - maybe he felt more at ease speaking with a fellow Briton than with an American reporter. Either way, it's always a pleasure to hear Brian speak.
Funny you should mention that because I'm going to read it any day now. I'm looking forward to it. BTW ... I just finished reading Peter Brown's THE LOVE YOU MAKE. I enjoyed it immensely even though he didn't shine the most favorable light on the Beatles. If you want to read some shocking stuff about the Fab Four (and others!), that's the book ...
@rpscot Thanks. Ya , for a 16 yr old kid it was pritty cool. Although the Candlestick Concert in 66' was pritty awful. It was outdoor and at the time they hadn't yet developed speaker systems that could properly project their sound. A disc-jockey friend of mine Bob Mclay ( who worked for the radio station KYA) and Tom Donahue were the concert promoters. Bob had the distinct honor of going to the airport to pick-up John, Paul,George and Ringo. He told me the histarical story of (cont.)
@spactick I had the opportunity but, my Mom feared that my cousin wouldn't have watched me good enough to make sure I wasn't trampled so, I wasn't allowed to go even though I (at 8 years old) had saved the money for my own ticket. So, as "The Beatles" I never saw them live. My Mom-In-Law, (Brittish born & raised) did & has some memorabilia to prove it. I've seen all of them perform as solo acts or as part of a "band or show" with the exception of John. Something I'll always regret.
@rpscot (cont.) of getting lost trying to find the proper entrance to Candlestick Park. He used to laugh saying, "can you imagine, here I am in a full-stretch limo, and I've managed to lose the Beatles lost in San Francisco." He really thought that was funny. "I lost the Beatles," he's break-up laughing. Anyway, Bob managed to get them to the park and from there they transferred them into an armored car, because they were concerned about the security of going from the stands until (cont.
As I read Brown's book I often asked myself, "Could this be true? Is this for real???" Much of what he wrote sounded a bit bizarre, and at times it was just plain funny.
@rpscot True, to an extent, but the real brains of the Beatle sound was George Martin. I truely think without his production expertees they would have never have produced the music they did. Remember after they broke-up the group as individuals never had the success that they enjoyed as they did as a group. He also did miracles with the Bee Gees.
The interviewer certainly wasn't Larry Kane.Larry wouldn't ask money questions and I've watched Larry many times in the 70s on Action News here in Philly ,and the pictures in the Beatles books he wrote,of himself,and can tell this was not him.
Hm! If it's not, then, please, do you know who this is? It does seem that the face you see when you google images of "larry kane" does not resemble the man in the vid.
Bothering you again because there wasn't enough room in the last comment, hahaa.... For a much more truthful accounting of Brian's life, please read "The Brian Epstein Story" by Debbie Geller (also released as "In My Life"), "With The Beatles" or "A Secret History" by Alistair Taylor, and "Magical Mystery Tours-My Life With The Beatles" by Tony Bramwell (NOT Tony Barrow). THANKS AGAIN!
The Beatles breaking up was their best career move they ever did!, they would never be as famous as they are today if they never broke up!...The Legend's were born they day they split!
@rpscot (cont) I could pritty much sit where ever I wanted to. So I sat right up in front surrounded by a bunch of totally insane females. They had totally lost their minds. I loved it. I never understood why the girls were screaming. Still don't, but it was such fun.
So Epstein did the same for ALL the groups. The Beatles survived, surpassed expectation on their own account. The bravado, the sound, the body movement, the interplay between members, the jokes, the raw sex appeal (which was nowhere as graphic as Elvis and yet even more successful/internationally successful) Yes if you listen to Epstein you realize how little he had to do with their success.That said, they could NOT and did not manage themselves nor did they sustain when money men like Allan Klein got involved. Epstein had a bit of magic because he himself had wanted to be an actor. He loved actors, musicians, theatre, film. A perfect role for him. When he passed there were few around who could replicate. Stigwood yes but his pet group was the Bee Gees.
Brian has always seemed to be such a gentle and sweet man.
I'm literally crying over him past midnight, he's such a classy, kind gentleman, and The Beatles were so lucky to have him. :'')
Brian was truly a classy, kind, and sensible man. The music industry could use more people like him!
Brian... A gentle and passionate soul. Thank you for everything. The boys owed you the world.
How vulgar to ask Brian about money.
He was a Gentleman.
This year Brian would have been 80.
blackandrej and you is a fucking homophobic son of a bitch
Brian was largely responsible for putting the Beatles in the right place in the right time. Without him, they would probably have never been half as big as they were. He was the glue and after his death...things were never the same and never would be.
Epstein made a lot of suggestions regarding presentation, and he was right on all of them; no smoking on stage, no eating on stage, no bickering and jossling each other on stage. He cleaned them up, and their behavior, and it made all the difference at the outset.
And added the bow at the end of their shows.
Wow, what a classy guy!! I've read comments regarding his homosexuality and how maybe he and John had something or not ... WHO GIVES A SHIT!! This man was pure gold, he loved those boys and legitimately wanted to see them succeed. He wasn't a bloodsucker like Colonel Tom parker whso squeezed the lights out of Elvis, this guy was a friend to the Beatles. He cared. what a class act! Pity he died the way he did and so young, too.
All everybody talks about is him being gay. He was a great manager. Maybe the best. End of story!!
Love Eppy and he was spot on when he said they would be successful for many year's to come
Brian was a beautiful guy, Brian Epstein. An intuitive, theatrical guy. He knew they had something, he presented them well.
I noticed that about Brian's accent. I was expecting a Liverpudlian accent, but he sounded very much like an upper-crust Londoner.
A much loved and much missed figure in the whole Beatles story.
his story is quite tragic. thanks for everything, brian. RIP.
God rest his soul. Being a Beatles fan for more than three decades has taught me that despite Brians' many problems, he was a true gentleman and a true friend. He would have had a longer life if he had someone in his life who really loved him. I think the gay community call that a "Life partner". Anyway without Brian Epstein The Beatles would have been no where has great as they turned out to be. Thank you very much Brian.
Comon Eppy you can take the credit..You DID change the Beatles fashion style by persuading them (especially John was reluctant} to ditch the leather suits for the famous Grey collarless Beatle suits they wore in the early days of their fame..Thanks Brian for guiding them to fame and fortune and helping make them the biggest band in the universe..RIP
Bless Brian. Without him we would not have known the greatest band ever.🙏.x
my my, what a beautiful guy. Thank you Brian, from all of us. You're great. I'm grateful to you forever.
A true visionary. No one was more responsible for '60s culture than Eppy! This is the only interview where he admits he heard of the Beatles well before the record store request.
Brian Epstein was the most devastatingly beautiful man who ever existed.
That reporter is arrogant, asking Epstein how much money they've made. Who does that?
an american
I remember John Lennon once said it was like the Beatles and Epstein were all from Brooklyn New York, and the Beatles kept their Brooklyn accents but Brian talked and acted like he was a graduate of Harvard and that is what got the suits in London to listen to them, otherwise they would have never have gotten a record deal in a million years. The industry in England back then was so incredibly bias against provincial acts. That`s why I hate snobbery, it closes so many doors on both sides.
Great interview (and a very good interviewer too). Brian looks so good here. Thanks!
I love how epstein accurately predicts the beatles will be successful for "many years" but it will a "mature success." His early insight into the Beatles' talents was remarkable.
What a gracious, classy interview. You tell 'em, Eppy! Thanks so much for posting this.

Brian looked cuter than the Beatles! (m not gay)
seasonedsevencolors c No? Just attracted to arseholes lol
Fat to Fierce Haha, wow! 😆👍
Thanks for the comments. Brian Epstein being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is a marvelous idea.
Epstein had a massive role in shaping the British Rock music of the early to mid Sixties, and his influence is felt right up till today.
Remarkable intelligent and his shrewdness so bright...What a man!!
He always shocks me!!!
Brian Epstein meant a lot to The Beatles. When he died that was the beginning of the end for the band.
Very intelligent man with a lot of foresight. If he had have lived and the Beatles hadn’t, subsequently, made so many foolish business decisions, who knows how long they might have lasted...
I agree. He has a pleasant enunciation. I read somewhere - perhaps someone else's comments on youtube - that he perfected his diction while studying to be an actor at RADA.
Yes! When Brian said (early in the Beatles' career) that they would be more popular than Elvis it probably seemed pretty outrageous, but TIME HAS PROVED HIM CORRECT. Amazing foresight!
"Brian, how much do the Beatles earn?" "None of your business, you intrusive ignoramus. Would you care to state your salary while we're on the air?"
Good point ... I completely forgot about his drama training at RADA!
:-)
Brian was born and raised in Liverpool, as far as I know he spent all his life there, yet no scouse accent at all ?
Kane's book - "Ticket to Ride" is a very good read, he creates a great feel to the US tour of 1964 and 1965 - when he traveled with the Beatles on the tour airplane
Thank you tunenito. According to Ray Coleman, "I think there is no doubt that had they not had a manager of Brian Epstein's determination - I don't think they would have emerged from Liverpool.

PS The genius of the Lennon / McCartney music helped too. LOL!
Brian and Larry Kane is the bomb!! :D And the second movie in Feburary that Brian mentioned is Help! :)
This is great news, indeed. Let's hope the movie is true to Brian - - he deserves the very best.
R.I.P. Brian.... Happy 70th Birthday, John!
Leading up to the Ed Sullivan appearances the local radio stations were playing their songs and hyping them, and we were warming up to the new sound, but it wasn't Beatlemania (in the states) until the Ed Sullivan shows. The visual element was crucial.

I agree. The Beatles knew it too, that's why they always seemed to forgive him for all his screw ups later. The world is full of talent that has been left undiscovered.
I find it odd that Brian didn't want to take credit for the Beatles' appearance, when it's known that he made the suggestion that they wear suits.
Nothing odd about being humble.
He didn’t want to dispel the illusion that they were always polished, and literally needed to ‘clean up their act’.
So classy
@AnnnaBlank well put, man.
And to Brian- we love and miss you.
Oh, Eppy.
Larry Kane is a pretty common name. I was assuming it was the Larry Kane who had a music show in the 60's based from Houston and was syndicated to the rest of the country for a while.

My cousin, who bought the tickets for me (for like $8) had some inside connection and so (cont)
The song the lad had asked for in the store was 'My Bonnie.'
If brian did not passed away,im so fucking sure the beatles never broke up like the rolling stones,now
erick marbon not true

He sounds exactly like Freddie Mercury. eerie.
To Eppylover, I'll check out your recommendations. It will be interesting to read their accounts of the Beatles. Thanks for the comments!
I totally agree. While Brian was there the 4 boys kept together as a band with little individual prominences.
@spactick
You, my friend, were in the thick of it! How Great! What an incredible, once in a life time opporunity for you and your friends.
I have no idea. He looks a bit like Larry and even sounds a little like him so I can see how someone could think it was him. I suspect Larry would know who he is as he conducted countless interviews with the Beatles while on tour w/them in 64/65 and was part of their close knit entourage. He also speaks very highly of Brian. Thanks again for the video.
I read SHOUT! many years ago and yes, it's qute excellent.
Highly recommended pre-ANTHOLOGY look at the Beatles.

My sentiments exactly ...
Someone else posted here saying that was not Larry Kane. Then who is this guy???
Yes, absolutely about Epstein. Thanks for your comments.
Imagine the 4 Beatles living now in 2012 / 2013 and make music NOW . . . what an awesome thought . . . What kind of music would they be making ?!?!?
Funny you should mention that because I'm going to read it any day now. I'm looking forward to it.

@unfortunatebeam That's because this is not Larry Kane. No idea who it is, but it's not Larry.
Yes, he ended tragically,
but he gave us the Beatles ...

Damn Larry king doing his show what so many years now...
That's not larry kane.
Or larry king.
@kevinturvy That's not true at all. He really cared for all of them. They became his life.

It's interesting to see him demure on the appearance question. I wonder if that was to avoid making them seem manufactured in any way?
@rpscot True, to an extent, but the real brains of the Beatle sound was George Martin. I truely think without his production expertees they would have never have produced the music they did. Remember after they broke-up the group as individuals never had the success that they enjoyed as they did as a group.
He also did miracles with the Bee Gees.
@rpscot Did you ever see them play live?
Thats not Larry Kane interviewing him.
I agree.
"How long do you think they will last?" How about forever?
upper class.
@awelshl well he had many more character traits than that :)
and people really envied him too I guess
The interviewer certainly wasn't Larry Kane.Larry wouldn't ask money questions and I've watched Larry many times in the 70s on Action News here in Philly ,and the pictures in the Beatles books he wrote,of himself,and can tell this was not him.
That's not really what arrogance is but I agree it is private.
Hm! If it's not, then, please, do you know who this is?
It does seem that the face you see when you google images of "larry kane" does not resemble the man in the vid.

@Quamby1 second that - love the book
That is not Larry Kane doing the interview...
huh i didnt kno eppy sounded like that!
The Beatles breaking up was their best career move they ever did!, they would never be as famous as they are today if they never broke up!...The Legend's were born they day they split!
@rpscot (cont) I could pritty much sit where ever I wanted to. So I sat right up in front surrounded by a bunch of totally insane females. They had totally lost their minds. I loved it. I never understood why the girls were screaming. Still don't, but it was such fun.
Brian Epstein was the most devastatingly beautiful man who ever existed.
community.livejournal "dot com" /eppylog/
The background screams
So Epstein did the same for ALL the groups. The Beatles survived, surpassed expectation on their own account. The bravado, the sound, the body movement, the interplay between members, the jokes, the raw sex appeal (which was nowhere as graphic as Elvis and yet even more successful/internationally successful) Yes if you listen to Epstein you realize how little he had to do with their success.That said, they could NOT and did not manage themselves nor did they sustain when money men like Allan Klein got involved. Epstein had a bit of magic because he himself had wanted to be an actor. He loved actors, musicians, theatre, film. A perfect role for him. When he passed there were few around who could replicate. Stigwood yes but his pet group was the Bee Gees.
This is not Larry Kane. Kane was about the same age as the Beatles. And that is not his voice.
this is a great interview..but it isn't Larry Kane...not sure who it is w/ Brian
The name of the interviewer is Pat Murray.
