Hi Blessing. This Shea Stadium concert is often cited as the pinnacle of BEATLEMANIA. 56,000 screaming teen and pre-teen girls had never been seen or heard before. The band used the stadiums P A system for their voices. It was so ineffective that the band had to overdub their voices on the film made of the concert when they returned to England (after the 1965 North American Tour). RNB
Beatlemania was in every city they went to, regardless of Country. To live through it growing up in NY was really a privilege.
That's nothing. Growing up as a teenager in the 1960s in Liverpool as I did was where it was at!
Beatlemania - extreme enthusiasm for the Beatles, as manifested in the frenzied behavior of their fans in the 1960s. This band changed the world in more ways than I can describe, they were the original prototype for what rock bands became. The bands metamorphosis was truly amazing, part of the reason John, Paul, George and Ringo are true legends.
This footage was from a concert at Shea Stadium in NYC, (1965). Yes, this was a chart topper for sure! ☮️
AUGUST 15, 1965
Paul was being driven out to Johns for a songwriting session. After an uneventful trip Paul, in a bit of small talk, asked the driver if he had been busy. The driver said to Paul, 'Aye, I've been working 8 days a week'. When Paul arrived John asked him if he had a song to work on. Paul said "No, but I know the title, 'Eight Days A Week'. 3 hours later the song was finished. Needing some last-minute tweaking on the intro/outro which they eventually polished off in the studio. John double tracks his vocals during the verses with Paul joining on the Hold Me/Love Me as well as the songs 2 bridges: (Eight days a week, I love you) This song was slated to be the last Beatles single of 1964, only to be replaced by I Feel Fine. RNB
Wow. Sounds like you were there. Lol
@@marrkhicks Hahaha Mark I wish! I learned about the song's creation watching an interview with Macca about the song's origins. In the interview he said that even though the song was generally a relatively simple song, it still required the full 3 hours to round it into a nearly complete song, The intro/outro section was even harder to nail down. Needing to be finished off in the studio. Cheers, RNB
John's not double-tracked on the verses. John and Paul sing in unison until they harmonize. They do double-track the "Hold Me, Love Me" bit, but both are double-tracked.
@@LeChaunce Hi LaChaunce. This is an oft disputed disagreement, not unlike I Don't Want To Spoil The Party and Little Child. I am on the side of John doubling the verses. Because the timbre of Paul's voice when it enters 8DAW is quite apparently different on the 2nd and 4th "Hold me Love Me" and the 2 bridges, than on the first 8 bars of the verses. Have a great week, RNB
@@ricknbacker5626 I get that, but listening to the earlier takes on Anthology, it's clearly John and Paul singing in unison. On the one take where they fade out, John starts harmonizing on the second verse (which I wish they'd kept, frankly).
Top selling musicians of all time.
In 1965 Portland OR, I truly remember hearing this everywhere I went.
In cars, stores, restaurants or walking down the street.
It was #1 in the country and Beatlemania was in full bloom.
Two of the greatest songwriters of the last 100 years. And George turned out to be a pretty great writer, too. It's all about the melodies. John and Paul were Kings! You hear a song of theirs a couple of times and you remember it forever. They have about 180 songs as good or better than what everyone else was doing at the time.
George Martin, the Beatles legendary producer used to nickname Paul and John's harmonies as "Honey (Paul) and Vinegar (John)". They were an amazing blend! Then when you get George into the mix, it was like a "supervoice"! I'll point you to the song "Because" by the Beatles from Abbey Road, where John, Paul and George are all harmonizing together and then this is overdubbed 3 times. It will literally raise the hair on the back of your head!!!
George's voice was like the blender. When he joined as a third voice it smoothed it out.
That would be the Shea stadium concert. I recommend that you expose yourself to every bit of Beatles video and give us your impression of every song they ever did It will take you all around the world and back home again.
One of my favorite Beatles songs. I just love all those great melody lines. They’re so catchy and so good.
It was a great time to be a teenager then, glad I grew up in that time.
What an incredible choice for a reaction! The Beatles all had varying degrees of wicked sense of humor, and you can see that in how they never took themselves or any one else seriously, for that matter, and were always "cutting up." For this song, John and Paul were riding in a cab, and they asked him if he was working hard, and the cabbie responded, "yeah man, eight days a week!" They loved it, and decide to use that line in this song. In this case, they're making the point that they're working overtime giving their love to their significant other, "Eight Days a Week." Get it?
Ha ha ha you never know where inspirations spring up! Thanks for that story! Also thanks for supporting me through patreon and you got see this video first before everyone else 😎
This was august 1965-Beatles were at the top of their popularity-they just released their second film (Help) and was the first group to perform in a stadium (Shea Stadium-New York). You saw a form of Beatlemania at their concert but it was everywhere they went from the airport to the hotel where they stayed with females trying to gain access to their rooms constantly.
I was so lucky to lived at the height of Beatlemania....Saw them live in Chicago...To this day its impossible to put the experience into words. Major hit song and my favorite from their early recordings.
I was rocking to it right along with you and you were cracking me up so much as you usually do because you're just so on top of things. But I actually got tears in my eyes almost I was feeling so happy by the end of it.
Wow Steve what a beautiful write up so happy to hear you get me and this was a positive experience for you 🌞✨
The term 'boy band' didn't exist at the time. However in hindsight, that term still doesn't feel right. Sure, the girls went nuts for them. I don't recall any of the boys having any problem expressing their fandom as well. No jealousy. We loved these guys. They added a whole new dimension to music as well as cultural influence.
The Beatles are still my favorite band ❤
Boy bands don't write their own songs and are put together through talent searches and auditions. The Beatles were nothing like that.
No one who knows anything about the Beatles would refer to them as a so-called "boy band." Boy bands are assembled by marketers who look for cutesy 20 year olds whose primary purpose is to dance. Being a musician doesn't even enter into it. Computer programs do half of your singing and the last thing the boss wants is your crappy songs. Your main job is to be a dancer.
On the other hand, The Beatles were not only brilliant writers who changed what popular music was, they were also a global cultural phenomenon that changed much more than just music.
Apart from your eye-searing hotness, it's just so wonderful to see someone who knows all about what it's like to make music and feel it and understand it on several levels at once. It's just so fun. Appreciate you. ❤
This was a huge hit! 1965. Their second visit to the U.S. They were the chart toppers at the time. So many songs those first 2 years. This was New York’s Shea Baseball stadium with 55,000+ fans! They performed in several baseball stadiums that year because they had so many fans. It was either that or do two or three concerts per city! I think they toured 10 cities that year!
The footage was from their concert at Shea Stadium in NYC in 1964. One of the many ways the Beatles literally changed the world and culture. Before them concerts were typically held in clubs or theaters but they were so huge that they had to find somewhere bigger to accommodate all their fans. Now days playing large arenas or stadiums is normal but they started the whole concept.
Absolutely brilliant harmony.. they always nailed it.
Oh, this was DEFINITELY a hit song! But, as you know, they had so many hit songs! Do you know that in 1964 on the Billboard Top 100 chart the Beatles occupied spots #1 - 6? No other band or artists has ever come close to this feat before or since. Back to "Eight Days A Week". . .yes, the vocals are gorgeous, but I also love the "power pop" guitars by John and George and Paul's amazing bass line. Pure gold!!!
It was 1 - 5 and has been broken. Drake tied the record in September 2021 and Taylor Swift took places 1-10 in November 2022. Under different conditions, of course, because with downloads and streaming it's much easier, to publish several songs at the same time. It's now even normal for the top artists, to place many songs from the new album in the top 20.
Correction. . .first 14 spots on Billboard, not 6!
And, BTW, I'm not big into comparisons. You have to remember, this is all a matter of personal tastes. I may take flak for saying this, but no one artist, band, or group is objectively better or worse than another. It's simply a matter of how each and every person feels about them. For example, I love Nico and Vinz to death! And yet, a lot of people remain indifferent to them. Doesn't lessen anything of my love for their music at all! Music is simply all about how you feel when you hear your favorite band or artist. That's the whole ballgame right there. But certainly with the Beatles, I'd have to say that, for me, the level of quality of most of their songs is consistently and amazingly high!
@@DJBilodeau It's just a fact. As a die hard Beatles fan I can confirm, that in April 1964 it was the ranks 1-5. There are also several in the TOP 100. You can also check the historical chart lists on Billboard.
The Beatles' 20 No. 1 hits in the USA and some LP stats are still unmatched.
Huge hit !! And a "breakthrough" song, the guitar opening like that was really new and fresh, then they close the song with it.
Top selling musicians of all time. This was the first stadium rock concert ever.
for another look at Beatlemania, watch their live performance of "She Loves You" in 1963 at the ABC Cinema in Manchester UK
A favorite of mine. Loved the harmonies in this one.
thanks for playing this song..i stayed in liverpool england last week and visited the famous cavern...oh so good!
That video was shot at Shea Stadium in NY, a concert I attended as a boy in 1965. It was a massive event and I was sitting in the way-up-back seats (the cheap seats...) and every girl in NYC was there screaming constantly, but hey, I was there, too! This was really the height of their "Beatlemania" stage--the frenzy, indeed. Not long afterwards, the Beatles wanted less touring and more time in the studio recording. Their songs became even more inventive then.
Awwh thanks for sharing your memories what an experience that must have been!
the greatest band ever
Another marvelous reaction from you, Blessing. 😁
You described Beatlemania perfectly. It was the crazy fan frenzy that accompanied them everywhere they went on the globe.
Yes, the song was a hit, but you have to realize that almost every single The Beatles released back then went flying to the top of the charts.
The footage is from 1965 when the Beatles appeared at Shea Stadium -- the home of the New York Mets. They were the first group ever to play an outdoor stadium concert.
This music still has the sound of the early Beatles (1963-65), and the friction between them really didn't surface until 1969 when John (non-publicly) left the group. Paul was the one who made the announcement of the group's break-up public in the spring of 1970.
And yes, some boys of that age group had a tough time with how much the girls adored these fellows. But the reality is that they were just as popular with the young guys -- and I count myself among them having been 12 when they showed up in America in late 1963.
Welcome to your journey into the Beatles the greatest band ever !
Linda reação. Fico feliz com a nova geração ouvindo The Beatles , amaior banda de todos os tempos . Você tem bom gosto musical . The Beatles eternos.....! Hugs desde São Paulo - Brasil.✌
❤
Fabulous show! Your show is the best!!!
We all loved everything. Simultaneously; we were new adolescents, "Hi-fi" was evolving rapidly with the transistor, and the Beatles were re-asserting that a good melody and lyrics have many good years still ahead, and lastly we had no internet so there was nothing else to do but play an instrument, read, or go out and play. There. That's the sixties.
1965 Shea Stadium. Help was also a movie and a number 1 single and album. What were the Beatles? A force beyond nature. They changed how people dressed, talked, sang, thought, and they changed the direction of music. They inspired people you would never imagine and you should watch Anthology or Get Back. Your life will be less full if you do not learn about them.
Look at their movie, "A HARD DAYS' NIGHT. It will give you a good idea of the Dynamic of the Beatles. Great response! My first time here. I liked and subed! ❤😊❤🎉😊
Awwh happy go meet you! Thanks for joining my PenPal Family ✨
Awesome! That was Shea stadium, home of the New York Mets baseball team
Thank you so many people! I wonder how many people cos that stadium was packed 👏👏
Google says that there were 55,600 people at that concert
👏👏👏☺️ that’s peak right there
Music gods❤
Great Song & movie from one of my top 10 bands and it was one of the Ringo-isms, Ringo Starr had many things he said were not normal so they were called Ringo-isms by the other band members
Yup it was a hit
One week in 1964, Beatles singles were Number 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 in the USA.
HOPE IS DOPE !
WORD.
Beatlemania was more than just screaming fans. I recommend reading the Wikipedia entry about this phenomenon, which is one of the 100 most important events of the 20th century. Incidentally, the Beatles never played "Eight Day's a Week" live on their tours, but the compilation in this video actually cleverly creates the illusion.
Sincere reaction.
This song came out at the end of 1964, and was going to be used for the title of one of their coming movies. The movie wound up being named after one of their other songs called Help. The Beatles were already a worldwide sensation at the time, and Beatlemania was in full swing. I was a young teenager at the time, loved their songs, and bought all the records they put out. As simple as the lyrics and song construction of their early songs seem today, it was new and revolutionary at the time. The Beatles were prolific song writers, and if one of their songs didn't reach number one on the charts, it was often due to competing with other Beatles songs occupying that spot.
It was a number one song
Oh yeah-they were tight at this point. Paul talked about in this period, since they were still touring and living in hotels that they were "living in each other's pockets." However, there was a big challenge back at this time-the sound systems and technology was not up to the task, and with the incredible screaming of the crowds, the Beatles were less and less able to hear themselves performed. That and the madness of the crowds-no one had ever played before such large crowds before, and the security was not up to the task, sometimes leading to some dangerous situations. These guys were going non-stop, and more and more John and George were getting fed up with the whole thing. Finally even Paul, who was the alpha performer of the group (he still is to this very day at 81 years old) gave in, and on August 29th 1966, the Beatles gave up touring, as it turned out forever, and became a studio-only band, where they could focus their attention and listen more carefully to their music. This was both good and bad. Certainly it helped them in the short run, but in the long run they began to lose the chemistry of playing live. The other problem that cropped up-you saw in one of the pictures their manager Brian Epstein, who was the father figure that took care of them, especially with contracts and financial matters. He died suddenly and unexpectedly in 1967, and this threw the band into chaos. As John said later, "I knew we f****g had it then. I had no illusions of our abilities to do anything other than play music and be Beatles." Paul tried to step into the role, but this brought a lot of resentment from both John, who saw himself as the leader, and George, who resented Paul's overbearingness and micromanagement. Even Ringo began to get pissed with Paul. Add to this John having a bad drug habit using LSD, then later heroin, then abandonding his wife and son for avant garde artist Yoko Ono (the subject of Paul's song with the Beatles, "Hey Jude"- "Jude" is Julian Lennon, John's young son by his first wife Cynthia; the song was meant as a comfort to Julian and Cynthia), who he tried to force to bring into the Beatles. They, of course greatly resented this. By the way, it was Yoko's idea that she and John "snort" heroin to get John off LSD. You see the burgeoning mess here? And, if this wasn't enough, the finances were now a disaster. Enter the criminal manager Allen Klein, who managed to flatter John and Yoko's egos, and pit them against Paul, who knew what Klein was and refused to sign with him as manager, although John persuaded George and Ringo to sign with Klein. It was now 3 against 1 with the Beatles, which was deadly to their chemistry, as they always were unanimous in any decision they made. Paul saw the end coming but desperately held on trying to rally the group, this time by trying to get the back into live performance. A meeting was called at John's house on September 20th, 1969, where Paul pitched the idea of getting them to perform live again. "I think your daft" was John's response. "I'm leaving the group. I was going to wait to tell you, but I want a divorce." In the height of hypocrisy, Allen Klein agreed to this, but convinced John to keep this secret so as not to hurt their record sales. Paul had enought of the bullshit, and in April, 1970 called a press conference for his new solo album and publicly announced that he was leaving the Beatles. Now the world knew they had broken up. John went ballistic as he felt he was a fool for being talked into keeping his departure secret and letting Paul take the credit for announcing the end of the band, something Paul never wanted. Then increasing the agony, Paul wanted to sue Allen Klein to get him out of the Beatles finances and stop him from stealing all of the Beatles money. He was told he could not do that, and the only way he could dissolve the financial partnership was to sue the other Beatles to dissolve them as a business entity. You can imagine how the others reacted to this. It was a terrible time, but Paul, in the end, saved the Beatles legacy at great cost to himself. Eventually John, George, and Ringo would all discover that Klein was stealing from them as well, and each one of them would take turns suing Klein. John sheepishly said on an interview, "I guess Paul was right about Klein after all."
This led to a period of public fighting between John and Paul in their music, starting with Paul's "Too Many People" an attack on John, which John then responded in kind with his song "How Do You Sleep?", a vicious attack on Paul with lyrics added by both Yoko and Allen Klein. However, John and Paul would slowly begin to heal their relationship, though each time a potential collaboration was in the works Yoko would step in and manipulate John away from it. It seems Yoko and Paul were rivals with each other for John's attention. However, by the end of the 1970's their relationship had healed to the point where many believe that John was looking to work with Paul again, and their were rumors that not all was well with John and Yoko's marriage. Ringo was the glue that would always bring the other Beatles together, and he would have gone along with a reunion. The one who was most against any reunion and who had suffered the most in the Beatles was George who was stifled by John and Paul getting so many songs to record, while he had a growing backlog of songs he couldn't get recorded. He was probably the one band member the most relieved to get out of the Beatles, and had recorded a triple album of all the songs he could not get recorded while in the Beatles with the album "All Things Must Pass". This was probably the greatest of all of the solo Beatles albums. He was the one always pouring cold water any time talk of a Beatles reunion would occur. John, Paul, and Ringo were all open to a Beatles reunion. However, George always poured cold water on this idea. And just before John's murder, he and George were publicly fighting over an autobiography that George had put out. John claimed to be hurt because George didn't mention him anywhere in the book "while he had every two-bit saxophone player mentioned in there." George's remark was that "John and Paul were just too busy being John and Paul to notice anyone else." This, and John's terrible murder on December 8th, 1980 forever put an end to any hopes for a possible Beatles reunion.
They fought hard like brothers, but in the end, they loved each other like brothers, though they were completely overwhelmed by the hurricane of fame they had released upon themselves. Even as solo artists, they could never escape the description as "the ex Beatles", and their solo work was always being compared to the Beatles, something none of the four could ever live up to. However, the time period covered by the reaction you just did (1965) was still the early period of their career, and here you could see the magic of their chemistry, how much fun they were having. They lived an epic odyssey as their lives played out pre and post Beatles. That odyssey is now entering its twilight as John left us in 1980 and George passed away from cancer in 2001, with Paul now 81 years old and Ringo 82 years old.
Will people yet to come ever believe that such a thing ever happened? I appreciate you bearing witness to it. It brings back wonderful memories. Looking at this, all these years later, it's hard to believe these guys in their early 20's were doing all of this.
It was #1 (in the U.S.) as soon as it was released in February 1965.
They were just starting out and very popular.
the very top of beatlemania....was a great group
Those were scenes from the first stadium rock concert in history.
Paul McCartney says, that they have recorded the instruments on the song, but didnt have a text for it. Then one morning being late he took a cab to the studio, and asked the driver: “Are you very busy”….yes the chauffer said, “I have being working so hard….EIGHT DAYS A WEEK”. And at the same day Paul wrote the text. 😎
I had two older sisters that got tickets to see the Beatles but my dad did not want them to go because he was afraid they would get trampled like others before. They played this song around the clock 24/7 it was such a big hit !back then all the boys had crew cuts and the Beatles had long hair jThe radio was everything back then as there was nothing on TV , no internet, no nothing,no concerts only records and radio.so different.
I enjoyed reading your comment Stanley thanks for sharing
This song was released in the winter of 1965 a year after they arrived in America. This song was a hit, although I can't remember if it reached number one. I doesn't matter because the were just getting started.
1965 they were in their early 20"s
awesome, just like it was 50 years ago!
Ok since you're a new Beatles fan, let me explain the title to you. At the height of Beatlemania, they were so popular and their schedule so packed, they had no time for a private life, it was a non-stop barrage of constant travel and activity, shuttled from concert to TV show to press interviews, either by train plane or limousine. During one of those limo rides, Paul McCartney strikes up a conversation with the chauffeur, and asks him how's work going? The driver responds that he's doing great, he's got plenty of work lined up, and jokes he's so busy he's working 8 days a week. Paul, being a songwriter, is intrigued by the phrase 8 days a week, and when he gets to the hotel room, starts writing, & John Lennon helped him finish the song later. It became an album track on the British album from late 1964 called "Beatles for sale". It was never released as a single in England. In the USA, it was one of the tracks from the original album that wound up on an American release called Beatles 6, released in early 1965. This one was chosen to be a single, and it was a big hit, reaching number one in early 65. So the song title came from a conversation probably during rush hour in the middle of heavy traffic. Though Paul wrote it, the take with John singing lead was the one they wound up choosing. And the video you're watching is from a concert documentary film, and those scenes of the Beatles in concert were mostly from their 1965 Shea stadium concert in New York City. Beatlemania was a term coined by a newspaper reporter in the UK, to describe the hysterical fan reaction during a concert. There's a whole lot more I can tell you, but I'll be up until dawn if I keep typing, and it's midnight already, so I gotta get back to sleep. Keep exploring, you got 60 years of Beatles alone to dig through, looking forward to future reactions....
Sleep tight and thanks for adding your voice to the conversation ✨

more Beatles babe, eight days a week please
Beatlemania was massive in Australia from mid '63 onwards. From the 28th December 1963 to 13th June 1964. Beatles held the #1 spot on the Australian Top 40.
In late May 1964 the top 5 were Beatles songs. The odd song out was World Without Love by Peter & Gordon written by Lennon & McCartney.
When the Fab Four toured Australia in June/July '64 they were greeted by an estimated crowd of 300,000 fans in Adelaide. The population of Adelaide in '64 was less than 700,000.
Wow so literally more than half of the people of Adelaide where in attendance!!! That’s Unforgettable
👏👏👏
If one can sing along the first time hearing a song?
That is songwriting igenius.
Bob Marley was like this too ♥️
Another early hit you’ll love for its pure fun and joy:
Drive My Car ☺️
"Boy bands" didn't exist until some producers started auditioning young boys to sing and dance and then made these strangers into a group. Some examples are "Menudo", "NSYNC", and "Backstreet Boys". The Beatles met each other because they all grew up in Liverpool, England. They formed a group with no management or producers and they played their own instruments and wrote their own songs. They sometimes get classified as a "boy band" because of the female fans losing control for them at their concerts. Also, they were very good singers and they often sang harmonies. Many boy bands dance and sing harmonies. They definitely weren't a boy band and they stopped touring in 1966 because they weren't enjoying the experience on the road.
The Beatles had 27 number one songs
You saw the audience they said it all. Basically all young ladies, but I loved them too. Oh I was terribly jealous and hated the Beatles because of the girls reactions. BUT I came to love them.
MrsPenPal got a little Beatlemania

In my view, 99% of the Beatles' songs are hits, including this one. Your reaction is very sincere and nice.
Thanks for watching and sharing such warm comments 😇✨
Lennon and McCartney singing together.
the song was released in the UK in December of 1964 and the movie came out in 8/11/1964 in the US
At this period everything by the Beatles was a hit. They were all over AM radio like a rash. Every album was full of 3 minutes singles any one of which could have been a hit. It was an "embarrassment of riches" as the saying goes.
You should try Rollermania and there song Saturday night
You were listening of course to the studio record version, which was probably a better choice. The live version is almost hard to listen to since the fans were so loud that even the Beatles themselves couldn't hear themselves sing, which is why they quit doing live concerts a year later. Also, they had a very poor sound systems back then. A real Beatles concert was (as Paul McCartney once put it) just them being puppets getting screamed at by thousands of girls.
I like to call The Beatles a one hit wonder group. The one hit being their entire music catalogue.
I would also recommend Paul McCartney's 1976 triple record live album, "Wings Over America" for his live version of The Beatles songs: Lady Madonna, Blackbird, and Yesterday.
Lastly, I would recommend George Harrison's 1981 music video, "All Those Years Ago" which was his nostalgic look back at the Beatles and a tribute to his friend and band mate, the Late John Lennon. Another tribute song for Lennon was done by Elton John called, "Empty Garden" which was recorded not long after Lennon's murder in 1980.
You want some good or special Get a hold of ""CREEP" sung by the "Pub Choir."
You will start something with this.
You crazy
The Beatles were grown men at 22-not like today
NO. Go watch HARD DAY'S NIGHT (or properly, "A Hard Day's Night"). THAT is a film that does a good job capturing Beatlemania - at least in London.
Was it a hit song? when was one of their songs not?
I believe this footage is from Shea Stadium, 1966. Not sure if I'm the only one who's observed this - but the Beatles made being a hetero guy FUN! No longer did you need a "sensible" hair cut or boring clothes. The proof was in the pudding too.....the girls went mad for it!
