It’s hard for younger people to understand just how great and how big the Beatles really were. The music is timeless and we’ll never see the likes of them again.
Greatest Band of all time. No one even close. So many memories. They set the standard, did things that were not done before. Changed music. Showed things that no one had ever seen. Still remembered by us fans. You don't need a degree in music to make music and the music they made was just incredible.
the photograph isnt historic cause of the photograph, its cause the beatles are iconic, they could have taken another totally different photograph and it would be still iconic, the setting doesnt really matter.
Wow all these years later and the Beatles are the only band that can bring me to tears with the beauty of their music. In my opinion the Beatles might be the greatest thing to ever happen in terms of happiness spread to so many people all over the world regardless of time.
Let’s talk about that remarkable LP cover photograph. It was simplicity itself - go outside the recording studio and traverse the crosswalk a few times. Okay, so traffic had to be halted briefly, but the out-take photos reveal there were no hordes of assistants, press handlers, light reflectors, camera equipment.....no towing in a VW Beetle to get the 28IF “clue” into the shot. Just four of the most famous people on earth, a few bystanders, and after a short time (30, 40 minutes?) one of the most iconic images of all time was captured on a roll of film. Marvelous.
It took only 10 minutes -- photographer Iain Macmillan shot six versions, all of which are included in this video. Paul selected the best one, which has become one of the most famous images of all time. It is the only album cover that does not list either the performers or the album title on the front.. In his book "Here, There and Everywhere," EMI sound engineer Geoff Emerick, who worked on many of the Beatles' recordings, claims that the album was originally intended to be called "Everest," and that the Beatles were planning to travel to Tibet to be photographed with the mountain in the background. (Pre-Photoshop days!) But there were disagreements about making the trip, particularly from Ringo, who reportedly suggested "Why don't we just get photographed in front of this building and call the album "Abbey Road?" It's an amusing story, but take it with a grain of salt -- the factual accuracy of some of Emerick's tales has been questioned.
Part of their legendary nature is that they broke more boundaries and more new ground that anyone else before them or since them... In less than ten years, they literally changed the world of music, of fashion, of youth culture... the list of firsts attributed to The Beatles is almost endless... I am sad that two are no longer with us... both John and George died far too young. But I am so happy and thankful that Ringo and Paul are still with us and still performing and making great music and memories... after all, it's been a half-century since they fractured apart... and I was twenty at the time that happened... it broke my heart... but as John so famously said, "Well, we were just a band who made it very, very big. And you can still have us and hear us - you've got all the records..." Yes, I have all the records... and the memories, too.
Hal - you've nailed my thoughts exactly, There's good very good, excellent, then we move to iconic . There's a special category I call 'beyond iconic'. IN that category: Armstrong stepping onto the Moon shot, signing of VJ surrender on the Missouri, MLK giving his 'I have a dream' speech. And this photo says it all. It lacks all the pretention of the Sgt Pepper and Revolver covers, which like the first two movies were first in black and white and then in colour. The photo is really a very simple idea - and it simply says it all.
Divine intervention brought these 4 lads together to create uplifting, amazing music that helped make millions forget the pain and agony of JFK's assassination a few months before they exploded on the world stage...I remember it so well and am blessed to have lived it. There will never be anything like it/them again.
He does look like he's in his forties and he looks so thin, maybe the stress of being the main man in The Beatles finally caught up with him even though he was always so confident in public perhaps he was different in private... who knows?
I got to visit this place last year. Adds so much when you then see the pictures of them getting ready to do the walk. Visiting here was a dream come true for me. To think....they were right THERE!
I went to Abbey Road studios a number of years ago and also drove up to Liverpool and went to John's boyhood home, the most jaw dropping thing was walking about three houses down to the end of his block turning right and down about 300 feet on the right side are the red gates of Strawberry field.
gdholmfirth I visited there in 2015 and you are absolutely right when you see the pics. Was there a guy still there telling which direction they walked.
Yup, I was there last Aug. /16 then went to Hendrix's flat museum, on to Liverpool and all of their boyhood homes and The Cavern Club. Found out a few weeks after we got home Paul and Ringo were at Abbey Road doing a promo for Eight Days a week movie and went out on the road and talked to some fans.......shit!.. missed that one.
Hunter of Liars - has it changed very much from the famous album photos we've all seen? Is there any group that tries to preserve these "Beatle" areas for fans of the future?
It's nice to be a londoner, yes, especially if the Beatles come from here. I have crossed on foot that pedestrian crossing several times but mostly drive in either direction passing Abbey Rd studios either on the right or on the left depending whether I am going to work or going back home at the end of the day. The graffiti on the wall is immense. They paint it white all the time every few months to cover the graffiti but within months it's all back again..
Ringo looking very dapper as usual and John wearing his white wedding jacket. George casual and cool as ever and Paul looking like an executive with sandals on.
I saw these guys LIVE on my 9th birthday, 1965, in Portland OR. The next day, the newspaper said they where on stage for 37 minutes. It was the greatest day in my life. Since then, everything has been a blur.
Yeah- I fully get that, NO Beatles would have been a very very different life for me too. It's kind been a blur for me too. 37 minutes, eh? Funny how some of the greatest moments in life (and worst) are so short.
The one time I went to London we got to visit Abbey Road for about 20 minutes and those were probably the best 20 minutes of my trip. There were fans all over the place and we helped each other take their pictures walking across the street, very uniting and wholesome experience.
I love that even though they are The Beatles, a older lady comes up to them on the street and looks like she has told Ringo his collar was askew and Paul happily fixes it (2:05). These are awesome pics!
Any car with that same make, model, and colour is probably hot shit in a Champaign glass for being a vintage vehicle, let alone being in Abbey fuckin Road
When you make an album cover where you cross a street, you don’t even think it would be more famous than another cover (like, Sgt. Pepper’s cover is not that iconic but is technically better) ! That’s my opinion haha
What a wonderful video! :-) These four men were more than just 4 fabolous musicians that gave so much to the world. These four saviors fill my heart with love and happiness. :-) I wish I had a time machine! Ty Ty Ty Much love from Germany TruthandjusticeXXL
I grew up listening and loving the Bee Gees But theres No question that the Beatles are the GREATEST BAND IN THE HISTORY OF LIFE #facts nothings gonna change that forever and always

It wasn’t a historical moment at that time. It only became historical after the band split up and their fame grew exponentially. At that time it was just another band taking just another picture for another much awaited album cover.
@@chezzer58 Soo... you call them just another band? Then you never heard of Beatlemania 6 years prior and the fact that they were the most popular and globally influential band to ever exist? Ok.
What I was trying to say was, it was just another Photoshoot for their forth coming Album, in retospect it has become an historical photo shoot. Yes, they had Beatlemania 6 years prior but on that particuar day there were no fans to be seen. They had one Policeman on duty on that day and that was just to stop the traffic. You will probably find in 2018 there are more fans outside Abbey road studios then what there was on that very day back in 1969. But I must stress, I am not trying to take away anything from the Beatles popularity and never would.

Paul: "OK, the order will be John, Ringo, me, and George." George: "Why do I have to come in last?" Paul: "Well, SOMEONE has to be last and it might as well be you." George: "OK, that's the last straw!..."
Sometimes the Beatles impacted many small things like no one heard of Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane, or Abbey Road yet these things are one the U.K.'s top five monuments.

The oldest Beatle is Ringo Star (Born July 7, 1940). He didn't turn 30 until July 7, 1970. This was shot before that date. They were all in their 20s.
