Fantastic body language in the early Beatles interviews, who now would bite their fingernails while being on live TV. They picked the fill in for Ringo well, seems to have had a personality bypass and did not upstage the others.

"The quiet Beatle" is talking and talking and talking...
George wasn't quiet at all. He was simply overshadowed by John and Paul.
@@yuuya2111 Wrong use of words... he was never overshadowed in talent, creativity or as a musician. Any artiste will tell you that. He was a far greater guitarist at 17 years old than John or Paul (ever became) and his triple album All Things Must Pass, released 1971, is still selling by the bucket full 50 years later - more copies than any solo album by John or Paul. He saved the British film industry financing the first Monty Pythons film and Mona Lisa with Handmade Films. He invented Live Aid 10 years before Geldof (Concert for Bangladesh) and he formed his own super group, The Travelling Wilburys recording 7 songs in 7 days with Bob Dylan. In Bob's kitchen. George was a genius.
Eric Clapton, the greatest guitarist of his generation looked up to... George Harrison.
Unfortunately George was put on the back of the bus by George Martin, producer, who was flogging Lennon and McCartney as songwriters, so he could record and sell their compositions to other artistes. It was a money machine. In his own words... (paraphrased) "John and Paul were bankers and my job was to produce hit pop records for the record label. George was a challenge and I deeply regret sidelining him now. "
The fact is, rebels and those who 'challenge' the norm, they shape the world. Like Eric Clapton insisting on setting up his own Les Paul and Marshall amp during the recording of the Beano album with the Bluesbreakers - it still influences rock music today. George Martin was a fool and a sell out.
@@Spartanm333 or looking up to.... George 's wife?
I think he got the quiet rep on that first trip to the US. But the guy got off the plane with a temp of 104 and strep throat. He was as sick as a dog. When they got to the hotel after the airport press conference they called for the hotel doctor. He was really sick but his sister stayed with him and made sure he got his meds on time, slept, kept quiet, etc. But that seems to be you’re of the rep. Plus of course he was in the midst of the two greatest composers of all time.
@@Spartanm333 Watch their live performance 'Act Naturally' video (in which George basically carries the entire song) & at the end, John does a sort of a foot stomp, hand-wave thing that appears to me to be a homage to George's awesome playing. John was a great rhythm guitarist in his own right (eg All My Loving) but George's skills were in the stratosphere.
First saw them on Ed Sullivan show,think 63? While listening and watching any and all Beatle interviews or shows i catch myself smiling! Love and loved the Beatles Forever!!!!
2/9/64 was the first Sullivan show. They were on the radio in 1963 here in the USA. First heard them doing From Me To You in the summer of 1963.
@@maetta me2! Saw them on Ed Sullivan in 63,I was 8 and it started my lifelong romance with all the Beatles,RIP John and George,will never forget any of you wonderful men (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
It's so hard to believe Paul, George and John were only 22, 21 and 23, respectively, in this interview.
They were way ahead of their years.
They had the name, the accents, the manager, the producer, they even had the timing of the 60s, but the greatest attribute was and always will be: the talent.
it’s the fact that they were all in their early 20’s. can’t imagine having that much fame, talent, and money at that age. ahead of their time.
These Aussie reporters all asking really high quality questions. Good on them.
Yes; as an Aussie, I would have to say the press in this clip were quite unusually polite and constructive. Plenty of performers who came to Australia in the 60's and 70's experienced the very opposite; particularly if they were not so accommodating and compliant with the press conference format. Media response to Frank Sinatra and Lou Reed are two classic examples of less friendly Australian receptions.
George’s laugh 🥺 11:09
That was so cute 🥰❤️
That is beautiful 😔👊🏻💕✨
Nah bro 0:19 listen to This
John got such good voice and he handles press conference like no other.
You can really see the friendships within The Beatles at interviews like these, even though there is a fair bit of space on the sofa throughout, they are sat quite close together.
The thing that really surprised me: George talked a lot more than most people would have expected; and Paul didn't say very much at all.
George and Ringo is the comedy duo of The Beatles. Feel sorry for Jimmy who was dumped into the middle of Beatlemania.
wow....this is one of the best interview/press conferences with the Beatles. They seem so relaxed and interacting with the reporters who aren't asking the usual stupid questions either. George is quite chatty here all all looked very clear eyed. Love it!
Yes cause they only discovered weed 3 months later 😂
Judy Keep I agree, it’s the best I’ve ever seen and I’ve watched hundreds.
@@erowal1 Exactly! Thanks to Bob you know who.
not the usual stupid questions??...like "how did you come up with the name Beatles?" or "How do you like (fill in the name of your city or country)?" or "which one is the leader?".
No other rock n roll band EVER HAD THE HUMOR AS THE BEATLES. OK MAYBE SPINAL TAP.
I've noticed that George in most interviews is the guy with the statistical answers. Even John would stop speaking and listen to George confirm the numbers.....
Neat observation! I hadn't noticed.
John would always listen to quietly when George spoke, coz it's rare watching him speak and when he did he would come up with great answers as well...
John knew intelligence and talent when he saw it.
I think George was the kind of person that never speaks unless he has something profound to say
George wrote Taxman.
11:22 Jimmy corrects his own colloquialism and Paul says something and gestures as though to say “no, just talk like you normally would” - this is part of what made the Beatles (the actual members, I mean) a phenomenon - they were always true to themselves through all of it
Imagine if you were Jimmy in this situation, it couldn't have been easy.
God I love George
He’s too underrated
Same
George is the man. Nuff said!
Me too.
Me too 💏💕
22:07 How can one man be so photogenic
Perfect isn't he?
Just goes to prove George wasn't as 'shy and quiet' as has often been said. Very talkative, very humorous, polite and friendly. Unfortunately and unfairly overshadowed by the whole 'Lennon and McCartney' machine.
Rest in peace George. My favourite Beatle.
George's "Quiet Beatle" was more like a gimmick forced on him earlier in his Beatles days and people took it too seriously. He was talkative, funny and very endearing, like in that interview he did with Ringo, that's the true George! His mates loved him for his humor and sweetness. He was bullied by John and Paul regarding songwriting so sometimes he had this bitter attitude towards Beatles days, and people thought he was glum and quiet...
He had a lot to say. And he did always seem to be able to answer the financial questions regarding the Beatles. He was sharp and likely did have a good business head.
Correct. He was unable to use the Beatles as his platform to fully express himself. He was in a tortured situation. He had an insatiable desire to get his music out, but only the best of the best was able to make it onto a Beatles album. But at the same time, he got to be a Beatle for a totally different reason - he was an amazing guitarist and backup vocalist. It's a shame George found himself in this situation because he didn't know how to handle it. He could have been like Ringo and just enjoyed the ride. But he didn't because he ultimately couldn't.
George for a long time didn’t write songs because he wasn’t good as Paul and John. This is the truth!
Baloney. George was not never good ad Lennon and McCartney
I love you Paul......... More than everything
He's my world hero!
John always had intelligent answers. Right to the point. He had to be intelligent for that. AND John seems happy here.
Greatest band in history without question! At this point in their careers both George and John appeared very happy to be Beatles. A few years later, not so much. Ah, but the music they left us.......
The Aussie Press asked many more logical questions than the British & American Press.
They actually seem to be engaged and enjoying the press conference. Great.
This was their first tour. Australian booking agent got the The Beatles at bargain basement price.
He booked them early '63 and he had never heard of them.
@@kenchristie9214It was not their first tour
The Beatles only toured Australia once June/July 1964.
The agent said when the tour was book more than 12 months prior, he got the Fab Four at bargain basement price.
GEORGE: "We always wear overcoats when we're swimming..."
Paul is so Beautiful and Handsome
yes he was..unlike Paul II
americanstrife dammit! Paul never died! He’s the same!
Shylah Young for gods sake how do you people even think he’s dead?! He isn’t! Paul is still alive!
@@brersam9473 The last confessions of George Harrison is a fairly great put together Paul Is Dead movie, plus his seemingly repetitive speak in interviews as if they are just rehearsed regurgitation. Possibly it's an elaborate hoax Paul himself is playing, possibly he smokes too much pot still and that's why he's redundant, possibly he's a duplicate. Who gives a shit either way.
Joe Permenter definitely not me
John and George are so witty. : )
my god i love paul so much i cant even say it in words
What really stands out is how the charisma fairly drips off John, Paul and George...while Jimmy is just kind of...there. They were truly one of a kind...
What do you expect? Jimmy had just been told he was filling in for Ringo at the height of Beatlemania.
Beatlemania in Australia was more hysterical than the U.S.
From 28th December 1963 to 13th December 1964, The Beatles held #1 spot on the Austrlian top 40.
In late May 1964, just before the arrival of the Fab Four, 4 Beatles songs were in the top 5.
The odd song was World Without Love by Peter & Gordon written by Lennon & McCartney.
Jimmy wasn't part of the band bro what were you expecting lmao
Poor Jimmy, dipped in gold and put straight out in the rain
CallitHowISeeIt true. I heard he disappeared and doesn’t want to be interviewed anymore. He misses his Beatle days
yeah i feel sorry for him :( he was the real quiet beatle
He put together a Band called the Shub Dubs.
Line up: Jimmy , drums. Keyboards, Bassguitar, vocalist, 2 Tenor saxes,
of which I was one of the saxists.
Music style: Kinda Soul, Blues, Rock.
Remember one tune we played - Chicken Shack.
@john smith Very funny.
@john smith No. And we never asked.
15:00 the way John and George take the cigarettes is so smooth haha. You can see Jimmy waiting for the matchbox after and John throws it to Paul. Pecking order? 🤣
They were just lads, good northern lads
George was so adorable. He definitely shined in so many different ways.
This is very good. The questions weren't daft and the guys answered without much sarcasm. John was very dominant but Paul started asserting himself later on.
What did you expect to find here? John: Australians.
The classic Lennon response
@@Brendanvio So quick-witted and intelligent. It does remind me of when Elvis was asked what kind of girls he liked.
His answer: Female, Sir.
What’s interesting is nobody’s ego got the better, they all seem very comfortable with each other.
What a wonderful interview!😍
You don't realize how much Ringo adds to these press conferences but its obvious the others have to fill up a a bit of time. Ringo is always throwing out zingers or telling a story and he was a big part of the Beatle humor. He also helps the others to be funny by making quiet comments to them when the mic is pointed somewhere else It's easy to see why the other Beatles wanted him as he "was a Beatle" vs just being a decent drummer.
That's Jimmy Nichol subbing for Ringo, who was sick at the time and had to substitute for him for a short time.
I absolutely love Paul's smile I'm so lost
(( 19:03 ))
Thank you for sharing an incredible interview Great moments in music history and everyone' s life. Up close and personal interview showed camaraderie plus another great musician substitution for Ringo.
15:25 Smoothest throw ever
This video is placed in the _Science & Technology_ category... hmm, that's interesting. Anyway, I enjoyed it and I love this band!
John was always astute, he cites a few times how the press/media make up stories about the Beatles, in an era when the media was largely believed and accepted
There was the tabloids, even then.
John seems so different before Yoko.
I think Yoko made John feel ashamed of his humour and he slowly lost his self esteem
That’s because it was a completely different person.
John is very beautiful boy.. absolutely
Love this: "There is a contract between the four of us, but if I wanted to leave then they wouldn't try and stop me; they wouldn't sue me, I don't think, would you fellas?"
Minute?
Or person
The contract talk was interesting, they hadn't a clue what they had signed into
queen hadn't seen a single farthing until a night at the opera, 4 albums in, so go figure who is making all of the money
@@ultrakool I think the Sixto rodrigues story is by far an away the biggest eye opener, worth checking out the documentary " searching for the sugarman " mind blowing stuff
@@kevrockism Excellent film! Yeah, I don't think Sixto saw any money from those early sales in South Africa. Someone got rich off of his songs.
They were charging their expenses through "Beatles Inc", but they had no idea what that meant. They weren't yet completely tied together so perhaps one could have left more easily at that time, but later Brian incorporated them for tax reasons, b/c they would be taxed at a lower rate as a corporation than as individuals, and this was the reason Paul had to sue the others to leave. So it was the opposite of what we see here. They thought you would sue who left, when in fact the person leaving would have to sue to extricate himself. It's an ironic exchange in retrospect.
@@Kieop please keep in mind, that wasn't Paul.
The imposter, " William" or "Billy" had to sue to get out because he wanted his father in law to manage the group while the three real Beatles wanted Allen Klein to manage them.
Besides, everyone resented the new guy.
13:18 harrison states "if I wanted to leave they wouldn't sue me" McCartneys reaction is priceless
Yeah, and it was Paul who sued to get out.
Poor Jimmy what a spot to be put in
He was very lucky to be in that position.
UNCUT... except for the removed sections. LOL. Interesting stuff!
I really liked it when George gave everyone cigarettes and John hold match for George...it was really sweet..
NB: I'm not promoting smoking 😎
tedious bore
paul is very good looking man
Paul isn’t dead yall
Jimmy seems a lovely chap.
Jimmy Nicol has that real Pete Best charisma!
This was a fascinating interview...I don't think it has been widely seen...but it sorely needs a good deal of technical work to get it up to scratch. The Quiet Beatle? George always thought that was funny. The nickname probably comes from the early concerts where the talking with the audience was done by Paul (mostly) and John (sometimes).
not ringo ... he had tonsilitits
I thought it might have been in deference to Buddy Holly's Crickets. And changing the double ee to ea to designate the beat of the songs. Anyroad, I'm glad they weren't called the Shoes.
• The Beetles - motorcycle gang, in The Wild One.
• Beat Generation - Kerouac etc
• Beat music - The Beat Boys backed Gene Vincent on a month long tour (mentioned in Pauline Sutcliffe's book, Backbeat)
• Buddy Holly and the Crickets
george is so gorgeous oh my 😳
Fourteen microphones and no ashtrays? what were they thinking?
I think the cameraman is in love with George, or maybe just I am...
Who isn't in love with that adorable man 😍
Oh, John. Why’d ya have to be so blimmin cute?
"There's nobody that everybody likes" said Paul McCartney.
Jimmy se veía tan sencillo...que afortunado haber vivido in sitú la beatlemania...haber probado la miel en hojuelas de lo que fue algo que nunca más se verá en una banda de música....
Paul looks like a little boy in a candy store with his finger in his mouth trying to make a decision.
24:13
Great interview! Relaxed Beatles...missed Ringo though. I wish TH-cam wouldn't cover people's face with the next advertised thing to watch. Jimmy was nice though for a stand in.
Beatles=Honesty period.
relaxing, just love it
You have given me 25 minutes of Paul, but 25 minutes of missing Ringo😢
George is everything.
que fumadores estos beatles......YO FUMO AHORA POR ELLOS .....
Some parts of this interview later appeared on the double album "The Beatles Story". 👍
Great questions from the reporters.
Cuando un periodista les pregunta acerca del liderazgo del grupo e interpreta q es paul...entonces john se levanta con su determinación y humor, hay que ver la carita de paul como se asusta...
I just don't get who puts a thumbs down? Go back under your rock.
The Beatles and Jesus give us the same message: Love.
They are much more important and huge that we think.
John Lennon Forever
George Porgy pudding pie
He sure was a cutie 🥰
James George Nicol (Londres, Inglaterra; 03 de agosto de 1939), mundialmente conocido como Jimmie Nicol, es un músico británico que logró fama al convertirse en el baterista de The Beatles por un breve lapso, mientras Ringo Starr se recuperaba de una infección en 1964.
This would be Melbourne, not Sydney, wouldn't it? the arrival in the pouring rain was at Essendon airport.
John was first- so he stood up...
Ringo is so cute!!!!!
Fascinating.
20:44 what is the reporter asking John here? It’s hard to make out, especially in the second half of the question.
It was nice to see that the quiet Beatle sure had a lot to say this time. He usually really limits his answers to monosyllables and grunts.
Ringo's face looks handsomer here, I don't know why.
You know they think only old people care about the Beatles when you get an advertisement for/about adult underwear. lol
22:38
"Look son - this is what the guy who smoked his first joint, given by George, at a conference with The Beatles looks like."
Jimmy looks very uncomfortable in these Beatles interviews. I think since John, Paul and George are all so close and know each other very well he feels like an outsider.
This had to be awkward for Jimmy.
Ringo looks so different here.
That's not Ringo
He was sick during that day of the interview so he couldn’t attend
Cute Paulie❤❤❤
FRAME 12:59 WHEN ASKED A SERIUS ? THE FINGER GETS CHEWED ON THE MIDDLE FINGER I HAVE SEEN THIS A LOT
Poor Jimmy Nichols .. he felt so awkward.. he knew he wasn’t a Beatle & was bound for obscurity after Ringo came back.
He’s refused to cash in on his Beatle experience by writing memoirs.
Is anyone else noticing how Jimmy almost sat in Paul's lap for some reason? :)
When did lurch join the Beatles ?
Interesting that John and George look very laid back while Paul is a bundle of nerves. People always say Paul was the confident but the evidence suggests otherwise.
How can you not dig the Beatles....look how they hang with the replacement for Ringo...old school decorum
Ringo’s replacement looks like he feels out of place here. He seems older than the others 🤷♀️
13:22 damn and Paul said no but sounded like he had to think about it.
Yes
Love these guys greate
That’s not ringo
Jimmy Nicoll, standing in for Ringo, who had tonsillitis!
Dumb question - what do you expect to find here in Australia ?
