- Un-monetized and respectfully taken from the fantastic "We Didn’t Start The Fire" podcast bit.ly/3krLML7
This channel is NOT Mark Lewisohn's personal UA-cam channel.
But since Mark Lewisohn is indeed the greatest world-renowned and world-recognised Beatles historian and expert - most notably since his 1988 best-seller "The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions" - we thought the man deserved a beautiful reference interviews channel !...
... So this channel is like a homage to Mark Lewisohn and a reference channel for his master subject The Beatles, almost like a public service kind of channel if you like !... This channel will be like a free and "un-monetized" central platform aimed at any english speaking Beatles student around the planet, and it will patiently collect and centralize all interviews and significant radio/podcast/video appearances Mark Lewisohn has made anywhere in the world, usually scattered around dozens of different sites and platforms on the internet, onto one single central channel for reference without monetizing its videos, for this is a purely educational reference channel for the connoisseurs, without any commercial nor business goal of any sort.
Therefore this "Mark Lewisohn - A Beatles Historian" channel is indeed a good deed !
SO PLEASE NOTE THREE IMPORTANT THINGS :
A) None of these videos will ever be monetized so we're not robbing anybody here,
B) A nice & gracious link to the original beloved source/podcast will of course always appear right underneath the video with the original source full name, and
C) An UNCENSORED version of this Mark Lewisohn channel, ie. with all the missing interviews that were either blocked or taken down by UA-cam, is and will always be available there bit.ly/3IpYjWf

Mark Lewisohn has professionally studied the Beatles since the late '70s. Mark has worked for Paul McCartney himself from 1986 to 2001, for the Beatles' own company Apple Corps from 1991 to 1998, and has also collaborated with the surviving members for the enormous 1995 autobiographical "Anthology" project...
But beyond his extraordinary books and even beyond the Beatles themselves (!), listening to Mark Lewisohn talking about the Fab Four during those long conversations with various Beatles fans, Beatles experts and Beatles students from all around the world, is indeed a fascinating and informative experience in itself. It is a vibrant and breathtaking experience because it is like listening to a series of rich in-depth lectures on what life used to be like in the Western World after World War II, during the 1950s and obviously during the great legendary 1960s.
Hence the existence of this channel.

From A Hard Days Night to Revolver in the space of two years. From Revolver to Abbey Road in the space of three years. Nothing else to add. Like everyone else, l'm looking forward to the second part of Mark's trilogy.
Excellent as usual. Could listen to mark all day and indeed I have done so before.
Have you found Pop Goes The 60s yet?
In regards to the smell of urine, Pete Townshend refers to this in the Who song "5:15" from the album Quadrophenia - "Girls of fifteen / sexually knowing / The ushers are sniffing / Eau de cologning." The lines refer to the fact that after the Beatle shows in 1963, the ushers would have to douse the place in Eau de Cologne in order to remove the stench of urine everywhere.
Always great to listen to Mark Lewisohn. Can't wait for the next book!
This one is a jewel
always great to hear mark talk , cant wait for the book
I used to like Katie on the uk tv show The Word. Mark is a great writer and orator.
I was only 9, soon going on 10, when The Beatles arrived in NYC, just 25 miles from where my family lived in the suburbs of NY. I didn't know anyone who was able to attend their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show, unfortunately. It was always on Sunday evening, so whoever was able to be there was especially lucky. I also couldn't go to the Shea Stadium concerts. Parents were very protective back then.... 💖✨The closest I ever got to The Beatles was meeting a British couple in 1987 in Arlington, Virginia, who had heard them play at The Cavern.
33:52 the lack of bladder control was also mentioned in the Stones documentary 'Charlie Is My Darling' about their '65 tour of Ireland.
I'm typing this as I listen to the podcast. I really hope Mark gives an indication of when the second volume of his Beatles three book biography will be released. It's now been seven years since the excellent first volume was published.
@@iamtheliquor You are absolutely right - my bad. How time flies. Not wishing to sound morbid but at this rate there is a real risk Mark will pass away before he finishes volume three.
@@yorkiephil7744 he will never finish. He is trying to do it all himself and he is stuck with horrid writers block
I believe he is writing both volumes together, so worth the wait
@@johnvanstone5336 Definitely worth the wait based on the quality of volume one. However my concern is does he have enough years left in him to do it? Also surely flitting between volumes two and three must make it take longer than if he focused on volume two alone, finished it and then moved on to volume three? I know not directly comparable but how long would it have taken Tolkien to write LOTR if he had written a bit of book three then a bit of two, then another bit of three?
Mark is a pro and absolutely the best man for this epic task but I worry he will run out of time and patience to finish it.
I believe he is researching volumes 2 and 3 together rather than writing them both at the same time. So, 3 should be a shorter wait than 2, but I share the concern that he will never finish. There is a time to call a halt to research and just get on with the writing.
brilliant as ever
I love Audible THE BEATLES ALL THESE YEARS TUNE IN vol one MARK LEWISOHN. you can spend maybe 2 months getting through the Beatles History and it only reaches the end of 1961❤️💜💙💚
At 67, I've just discovered Cliff and the Shadows - via the 2009 O2 show and numerous interviews, eg, Rick Wakeman with Bruce Welch. They were astonishingly good and original and wrote a lot of their songs. Welsh and Marvin came to London, age 16. Cliff was 17. They were slightly younger than Beatles, who wouldn't come to London till 4 years later and would make a mess of their first visit and audition. Despite not knowing most of their material, I could follow and enjoy every song and move. Cliff's lead singing and movement is, frankly, brilliant - far better than the clips I remember through the late 1960s and since. Their harmonies and playing are as good as any band ever. They even had supportive rather than exploiting management. Quite unfair to ignore them and their influences and example. When they rocked, they rocked hard!
The Shadows were a brilliant group, and Cliff is/was a great singer. I really liked the early stuff but it was clear by around 1960 Cliff was going the usual route, towards being an "all-round entertainer". In the excellent Love Me Do (by Michael Braun) it's a bit shocking to read Lennon and McCartney saying how much they hated Cliff - when the met they liked him as a person, but Cliff was the personification by then of the taming of rock'n'rollers. His music had a bit of edge to begin with, but by the time the Beatles took over Cliff had drifted (spot the pun!) to material like Bachelor Boy. But he's made some great singles down the years.
Hi Mark. I've only just discovered this channel. Are you aware of the Mike Williams Sage of Quay channel? He preposterously claims they didn't write any of their own material until 1967 and that it was all session musicians playing on their albums. I would like to know your thoughts on this?
Who's Billy they're talking about?
*Edit* It's Billy Joel. The whole podcast is about his We Didn't Start The Fire and all the historical references in it
I don’t think he actually plans on doing volume 2. As he has said the money has run out and he is under no obligation to his publisher. I think he plans on being a resource for other writers.
Who was Tom's father? Keith Fordyce?
That’s doing a disservice to the DONKEY 🤣
I am not sure who I am writing to on this channel. In the blurb you call this a Mark Lewisohn homage channel but then you use his name "Mark Lewisohn, a Beatles historian" with his profile picture and even pin an approval on a comment below - which if you are not Mark Lewisohn is quite an arrogation because you are using his name and photo to imply what comment he would approve. Are you or are you are not Mark Lewisohn? If you are or have the endorsement can you explain the set up on this channel?
*Can't you read ?... Everything is perfectly explained in the description, just read and use your brain if you have one. Thank you.*
@@marklewisohnabeatleshistor5990 It reads to me that you are not Mark Lewisohn. True or false?
Not Mark Lewisohn.
It’s just a channel that lifts other people’s work and recycles it without any creative input or attribution, refusing to link to the original sources. It’s actually a pretty sad endeavour when you break it down.
Mark, the fifth Beatle - in his own mind! 😂
Less talking more writing. Why does he do these interviews? He should be writing. The only acceptable activity besides writing is using bathroom and eating and perhaps breathing
Ha Ha!
😃

You must be kidding. Comparing the beginning of the Beatles with the moon landing. I'm 66, love the Beatles music. I've heard some ridiculous things in my life, like when Joe Biden opens his mouth....but I think if I live to 100, I'll never hear anything so stupid.
I'm 67, and I'd have said similar until about 1999 when my 12-year old freakishly intelligent and clear-thinking daughter first heard Sgt Pepper. She immediately assessed and analysed them in terms of her era and cultural history of 20th century. Also... in the UK, their impact was a bit more steady growth; in the USA, they hit big in one massive smash with their first hit and Ed Sullivan shortly after JFK assassination. The ripples through rest of 1960s were just before my time as oldest of 4 with no TV and no money for radio, records, or magazines. Mott the Hoople, Bowie, and punk were my thing, so I was too cool for school about Beatles. I now realise they were and remain far bigger and better than I thought.
Interesting recent experience has been doing three hour intensive exercise routines to recover from heart attack and multiple resuscitations (genetic basis). I need varied pitch, pace, volume, emotion, etc, to keep variations to my workout. Beatles are the only single source that provide that and stimulate subconscious changes of effort and emphasis, especially when I include covers of Beatles songs in my playlists. All other single sources reveal themselves to be rather samey (even compilations of various different artists turn out to be samey) so brain and muscles become sort of bored. The Who and Blondie interspersed with a bit of punk are useful, perhaps because of how their rhythm sections work. Obviously, I usually use one or other of my compilation playlists, but even then, I notice small changes in how I'm hitting the pedals and kettles which are born out by the heart rate monitor
@@cuebj sorry to hear of your health problems. Hope you continue to get better.
I spent 34 years in the fire department, worked on 100s of heart patients. I get it. The music helps, I also love it.
I did see the Ed Sullivan show, remember exactly where I was. I remember where I was when Kennedy was killed. Remember my mother waking me up earlier in the morning to tell me RFK was shot (he hadn't died yet). When Regan was shot, space shuttle blowing up, 911.....
But the MOON LANDING in 69?
Let's come to our senses.
I grew up in the same era as you, thats a big reason we listen to their music over and over.
In 2017 in went Europe. Last stop was Abbey Road, then last day, all day on " THE MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR "bus ride through Liverpool. Met John Lennon's
School mate , he was the narratoron the tour. He got very emotional when the bus stopped at the crossing where Johns mother was hit and killed by a drunk off-duty cop. I actually thought the emotional thing was an act...He does the same tour twice a day.
My point is, the music is great but the more I learn about the guys the more I don't care for them.
I took my son Who was 26 at the time to the Hollywood Bowl to see Paul McCartney. Music was great, 2hrs 45 minutes. But 15 -20 were promoting the Obama's. Hollywood Bowl was packed, half the crowd cheered, the other half started yelling shut up and sing.
Guess what side I was on?
Yes the Beatles are MORE important.
@@FiveLiver There's a fool born every minute.
@@mynonameyt The Beatles music has brought more much-needed joy to millions than the moon-landing. It's a daft comparison, however.
