These two part documentary's has been the best ever done on the Beatles by using just audio recordings. Nice to hear them all talking in a relaxed manner as well.
I agree, they're fascinating visually and I love hearing what the guys had to say too
Lol, friend.. these “nice recordings” were all from the Anthology docuseries.. watch that and you’ll hear every line from this video.. this brushes over everything because this story takes more than 20 mins to tell.. but literally this person didn’t compile anything. Seriously, he just clipped up the documentary from 94 I think lol.. was a good laugh
The audio is from the Beatles anthology
Try watching the Beatles anthology. It's 8 to 10 hours long. These audio clips came from that.
Agreed.
As much as we of that generation did not want to see 'The Beatles' as a group, die. We all knew it was inevitable, it had to be. The guys were on different paths, they weren't the same people they were ten years before and their fans knew it. Sadly, the world did not get to see where John and George's lives would take them after they broke up. Paul went onward, Ringo went onward to do what they wanted. All I can say is that those of us (I am 75) who grew with them were fortunate to have been there since the beginning. We loved them then and still to this day love them.
@John Z I was 13 when the Beatles came to America! My whole life changed! I loved being 'born at the right time' and watched these young men grow up right before my eyes. Their music was so different than anything I had ever heard and it just got better and better with each passing year. I loved Paul. I admired George. Thought Ringo was funny. Thought John was fucked up. Turns out he was. I liked his lyrics and wit. Thought Paul was a musical genius; turned out he is. Touring at 80....WOW!!
George led me down spiritual paths which actually brought my heart back to Jesus. I still thought Ringo was funny and the best drummer for this wonderful band. It was a great era to be alive!! LONG LIVE THE BEATLES!!!!!!l
@John Z, was 5 when Feb.9th came. Bedtime😂, older brother had huge lightbulb moment. Changed him😁. Christmas, days when it was fun to shop downtown and see the window displays, had a Children’s shop where you could buy presents for family, secretly🥰. My Grandfather said “let’s go to the record dept”, huh? Ok..Jeff left with Beatles ‘65 and I got my first single, “I Feel Fine”, “She’s a woman”. Still have it. Serious collector so Sonic cleaned it. Still amazing❤️🥹❤️🥹❤️
"Sadly, the world did not get to see where John and George's lives would take them after they broke up." What? That's not true. John lived for 10 years after the Beatles broke up, and George lived for 31 years. So, we did get to see where their lives took them after they broke up.
You're right, their breaking up was inevitable, for a lot of reasons. For an obsessed fan like me, that was painful. But being the Beatles, it was perfect--they went out on top, with Abbey Road as a smashing climax, and left us wanting more. 50-plus years later, we're still talking about it. Looking back, I'm glad they never got back together as a foursome. I think it would have only tarnished their legacy, in my opinion. It was damn-near perfect as it was.
Yeah we really did love them didn't we, when they split I was heartbroken I wasn't a happy kid but they gave me something to look forward to, their next single or album.. After they broke up their subsequent solo albums gave us some of the magic especially All Things Must Pass.
This docu was put together better than any Beatles - or any band documentary I've ever seen.
The time to go through all audio material and make them tell the story must have taken a lot of time. Thank you for this work.
This must be the #1 go-to docu for anyone wanting to get familiar with the band's story.
Uh, no. The #1 go-to doco for anyone wanting to get familiar with The Beatles story is still the Anthology DVD set- almost 9 hours of archival video and audio plus contemporary (1994/5) interviews with the then 3 surviving Beatles, which is where 99% of everything you've seen here originated from. That team were the ones who worked their asses off getting every piece of film and audio together and tied it all together and made it run into a comprehensible story. These guys just edited it down to like 40 minutes and added captions of synopsis explaining the historical context, and they never even fixed the typo at the beginning of part 2. Group is spelled like this, not GRUOP
99% of this was taken from the Anthology. As amazing as it is to watch it’s basically plagiarized 😂 so no, this isn’t “better” than anything the band has ever put together, it IS the material the band put together 😅
i agree
At age 74 I still enjoy having gone through the experience of the Beatles. I really came to appreciate all that they did and I was already a guitar player and played piano too. I really came to appreciate George the most and for personal reasons (I reached out to him and wasn't disappointed) but his attitude and spirit are why I am still alive and playing. He explained what I was feeling but didn't know how to express. When I need a lift, I play with his songs or just listen. There's a deep spiritual feeling that affects me and I always feel much better after a "session with George". What a great time to live. I didn't have a good home life and did the drug thing but George got me to understand that substances brought you down rather than lift you up and the "high" was a clear head and enjoyment of what good music brought and still brings. Thanks for the experience lads.
What a cool share, dude!😎
I think it’s awesome how you included George Martin and Brian Epstein’s words too! Because they were Beatles too!
Between yesterday and today I watched both parts, and let me say; you sir/mam deserve a round of applause. The format of putting together interviews to have _them_ tell the story is brilliant and flawlessly executed. It must've been a hell of a lot of work to go through so many interviews, find the subjects you wanted to include in the video, find footage that went with it, and put it at all together.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The amount of joy these artists gifted to the world is nothing less than astounding.
Also worth mentioning is the many orchestra bands that took Beatle hits. An transformed them into outstanding soothing music 🎶🎶🎶.
Still fascinating to this day. Beatles forever, man. This story never gets old. This is gonna leave a mark :)
John later stated that Paul's distrust of Alan Klien was absolutely correct. He was a shark and was only interested in how he could make money for himself.
Best gorup ever
Paul is a shark now too
Can't say that they are the best because there's so many. " BUT WHAT GROOP EVER MADE SUCH A MARK ON THE WHOLE WORLD THEN THE FAB 4 "
THOSE 4 BUG DUDES.
What did they call themselves ?
I QUOTE !
I believe it was Lenon that said Ringo may not be a good drummer but he's a
good Beatle.
BEATLES FOREVER
Yep
I love that there’s so much footage and audio interviews of the Beatles and associates. I wonder if they knew it was for posterity and would be part of history? Just brilliant.
The best band ever ❤😊
1:49 and George Harrison takes the world's first "selfie". Another thing that The Beatles pioneered! 😂🤣😂
They were the trendsetters of popular music.
Beatles were the best thing to happen to music and I still love to see and hear what they went thru and love them so much and always will
It was such a sad time for all of us who grew up with The Beatles.
this is so damn good why the hell dose this not have 10 mil views
Lol "it's the bloody Beatles white album,shut up "live that
Chuck: They were so frichn cool. We loved hearing them talk.
Just watching this the day after the new Beatles song had been released, don’t mind telling you I shed a tear or two hearing Johns voice again, I grew up with listening to them through my mums love of them, I still remember the first time I heard Golden Slumbers, and the goose bumps it gave me, they completely influenced my taste in music in the late 70s early 80s, much to my friend piss taking, still one of the bands I listen too on a regular basis. The world a much better place because of their music.
Thank you for this. Great to hear it in their own words.
I'm 37 and my girlfriend of litte shy of 2 years has finally got me into The Beatles about 8-12 months ago. LOVE them. Incredible band and slightly thankful for my ignorance in younger years... who else can say they're pushing 40 and enjoying The Beatles as a "new" band? heh
I got into Renaissance only after 40! How about that - how could I have missed their greatness?
@@ytusersumone I imposedan elitism on my self when I was younger. Got into Metallica, Slayer and the likesf when I was 8/9. Loved ABBA, Dr Hook n plenty of other stuff but "big, old bands" I avoided... Kinda glad I did. Listened to my first full Black Sabbath album for my 30th birthday. Mad to have played guitar for 24 years and only the last few years do I go back and dig into the old ignorance...and come to love bands like The Beatles!
@@beefcheeks9353 Great to hear 😊
That’s brilliant really cos a lot of us “ oldies “ think and often say you had to be there . Obviously not , but is was great
Hell yea man I’m your age and my mom introduced them to me w the red and blue albums. Great times! Cheers!
They were then now and ALWAYS will be MY HEROES.
Coming back to the winter of our discontent... I love George. I could listen to his interpretations all day long.
Yes, the most observant one, listens very well. ❤️ Love George
Brilliant job putting this together.
Fantastic perspective , great presentation! Can’t deny their own words❤️❤️❤️❤️
Certainly the most truthful documentary.
You wouldn't really know.
Great documentary on The Beatles.... both part I and part II.
Even through I know they broke up, watching them explain it, a deep part of me screams “noooooo, stay together!” I know it’s crazy but it happens every time.
It makes sense and happy the story came from the members instead of a magazine.
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent still -motion photography pictures. Enabling viewers to better understand what the orator was describing. Special thanks to guest speakers sharing personal knowledge pertaining to the music industry/Beatles. And last if not least the world renowned quartet boy's from Liverpool. Making this presentation more authentic and possible -!!!😉. Enjoying this presentation from the comfort of my computer room. Along the " Space Coast " of Florida 🐊🐊🐊. ( 1-29-24 ). Wishing viewers a safe/healthy/prosperous (2024).
It would be so cool for someone to make a tv series on the beatles career.
The beautiful people.
Part 1 and 2 are so well done. If they were combined, I could definitely see these being an official documentary.
A fabulous piece of work Music Box. I could have absorbed mutiple episodes... wonderful footage, great photography, sensitive exchanges...one could really feel the atmostpheric waves between them as they worked and played. They gave us so much love actually.
This is done amazingly well. I would believe you if you told me it was an official documentary endorsed my the Beatles people. It must have taken forever. Well done
Just simply greatest band of all the time ..
Bingo, amen and touche. Fabs Forever!
Outstanding work on these documentaries
Beautifully done!
I like knowing the details of what was happening with the boys. I remember thinking for a long while afterwards that there just wasn't any band that could take their place. I don't think there ever has been either. There are artists that fill the gap but no band as done what they did.
I remember that being a very sad day The Beatles broke up. Although we did still experience their music and talent, for a few more years as individuals. Never again as the Beatles
I'm very proud of Pete best handle himself well when he left the Beatles more proud what he made on royalties he is part of Beatles history as the first drummer to get them started ( he got paid well for his work with the Beatles)
Love the instrumental piano for “you never give me your money” playing towards the end. Real nice way to close
how many years will it take that it doesn't make me sad anymore to hear that the beatles are breaking up.....
I get that feeling whenever I hear Let it Be.
I liked the Beatles a lot until Peppers. That was it for me. I heard that music at carnivals and it didn't sound at all like the driving rock earlier stuff.
Great documentary!
I was in several top notch regional rock bands throughout the 70s with each better than the one before. Problem was the better the musicians, the more difficult it was to deal with the 5 egos, and living on the road for weeks at a time made it that much tougher. The most frustrating thing of all was the last band I was in was together for 4 years with a growing following, radio airplay and strong original material. The week after our manager announced to us that we were going to go on tour and open for The Eagles, our front man, guitarist, contributing songwriter announced he was leaving the band...and that was it! Four years of blood, sweat and tears, down the drain.
What a bummer but ya know in life things are meant to happen as they happen the way i look at things like that is its cool it even happened at all but anyway what was your bands name ?
@@jefffillinger8085 It was "The Skinny Kid Band" aka: "SKB", (I always hated the name, btw) and we were based in New England.
I learned how to become a soloist because of others. Fingerstyle guitar rocks.
Congratulations Music Box USA, Great work on these two part documentary's.
Outstanding. Loved the easy-going relating of memories.
So ... this is The Beatles Anthology 𝑅𝐸𝒱𝐼𝒮𝐸𝒟 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗔𝗠𝗣𝗘𝗗 ... nice job.
abridged, compressed, condensed ;)
Excellent - and moving
...beautiful closing tune too
It was all just a lot of fun, especially if you were born in 1960. The whole time they were together and working and creating all of this great music dovetailed perfectly with my childhood and provided a soundtrack that is part of my DNA. George Harrison is the reason I play guitar. Before they played on Sullivan, a guitar was just a sound, and at age 4, I had no idea what sort of thing was making that sound. Then when I actually watched him play the lead break on "I saw her standing there", the connection clicked and I understood where that sound was coming from, and I knew I had to get in on it, one way or another.
It was all just a whole lot of fun.
Elenor Rigby and Yellow submarine, I still sing along when they come on my USB collection in my car.
Parts One and Two are both extremely well done mini-documentaries --- which makes it all the more glaring when an entirely preventable typo like "GRUOP" creeps in at 1:03. A shame; but, even so, a great job.
The Beatles are the best band ever. Even now, after so many years. Long live the Beatles!
Well done abridging the Anthology series. Works really well. 👏👌👍
amazing video
would love to hear the story of how you put this all together.
1 and 2 back to back. Sweet. 👍
When's part 3 coming?
Never again. Thanks guys. You were a bit special.
Love the White album.
Wild that people think the White Album should have been condensed. They were wrong. The fact that the Beatles got to stretch put it in the pantheon. I think it's as strong as Sgt Pepper's minus A Day in the Life, which is probably their greatest art song.
Cheers whoever put them 2 things together . Really enjoyed them , probably heard it all before in bits and bats but great anyway . Paul must’ve been a bit of a pain in the arse at times , but thank God he was . Could probably write a big essay about the Beatles myself but no need . Cheers once again 👍
The ending of the Beatles was a tragic event nevertheless it was needed for their own sanity. They gave us their best now it was time for them to move on.
I have my father's Sgt.Pepper and Revolver albums. Played them a lot in my childhood. It was these albums that are the seed of my love of the Beatles
Yeah, i don't disagree but to find the real essence of the Beatles listen to their first 4-5 albums. The later ones introduced the sophistication that turned them into a super group before the term was even known.
Cheers from Almería, Spain.
I don't care what anyone says. Yoko recognized John's vulnerabilities, and she didn't want to give him enough space to gain perspective on the relationship, or allow someone besides her talk sense to him.
if they never would have broken up and John and George never passed away.....💔💔💔💔
George, the outsider.
1:49 - 2:08 George inventing selfies.
If it wasn't for The Beatles music would have taken an entirely different direction.
23:50 - one of my favorite paul quotes
George, re The White Album:
"Well, you know, there was a lot of ego in that band..."
Paul, re The White Album:
"I'm not a great one for that. Look. It's the bloody Beatles White Album. Shut up."
...Paul always takes credit for the zebra crossing/Abbey Road idea.
Really it was Ringo's
Paul would never have done that. It was the narcissist Billy.
I am not a critic I like all the BEATLES output .
Apart from the misspelling of "group" as "gorup", and the title, which should be "In their own words", this is fantastic !
I even saw the misspelling of group as "gruop" on part 1.😆
@@elwin38 best gorup eva
That was a very great two part documentary. ThX for sharing.
From the moment Yoko was constantly there as a fifth wheel on the cart, the others should have brought their partners along as well. So that John and Yoko could experience how ridiculous it really was. You are not going to burden a band that is in crisis for various reasons with the constant presence of a fifth person who has nothing to do with the creative process. That John and Yoko had agreed with each other that they weren't hiding anything from each other, there was their private business. Why bother the rest of the band with it? Do you find it strange that it became increasingly uncomfortable and awkward.
This is 😍
There seems to be a lot of people watching this 2 part video and leaving comments here who have never even seen or heard of the Beatles' own officially licenced history lesson, the Anthology DVD box set, which tells their story IN THEIR OWN WORDS, which is where everything you see here originates from. This is like a Tic Tok version of that set of videos.
With NO YOKO it might have gone on for quite a while. ANd John would still be here.
You are the judge of that???? Then congratulations. Nobody knew that Mark Chapman would murder John Lennon. Not even you.
Well, now I understand.
i adore the White Album
Why did you let me down Beatles'
Take note all new budding generation Rock bands..!!!! The more you fool around the better the songs.? The truth is The Beatles knew at the end of day the songs would be good...no matter what. They had developed so much chemistry over their career not to fail anybody. Their content and genius would never be matched again by anybody in the music business.
John unilaterally made Yoko the "5th Beatle". There were actually many people who could be considered the 5th Beatle, so maybe she should be called "a" 5th Beatle, or "another" 5th Beatle. Or maybe that list could rank them instead, and then number each as 5th, 6th, 7th, etc. But that whole concept becomes a much bigger debate in creating the order of importance, or chronology according to who "joined the band" unofficially by date. That's all just too cumbersome or something. But I guess John felt entitled to do that. And maybe John truly needed her presence 24/7, emotionally.
I have never seen or heard Yoko mentioned as a 5th Beatle, but I definitely believe she was one, and the only one who never should have been one. And, I also believe the other three band members would agree with that, if they were being honest.
Paul: "I've read people like Spielberg said "When I was in film school that was a film we really took notice of, kind of like an Art film" ".
Yeah, sure Paul 😏🤭
Saying it yet again: The greatest band in history -- musically, lyrically, sociologically, culturally. Period, the end.
Nobody can really dispute that, can they ?
Yup.
Sgt Pepper died in a salt bath in 1966 and was replaced by an imposter called Paul McPartly.
Someone's been messing with me carrots.
Who feels that there was a somewhat Rutles influence on the Moptops music?
You’d think if they did what Jimi wanted to do and just make a bigger band with more ideas, and it’s a cycle as they/he goes through the world making ideas come to life with different people.
"Cadlestick Park" in Part1, "Gruop" in Part 2 : that makes a lot of misspelling !
The fact that anyone says the white album should’ve been condensed is insane. That album set the standard for double albums get out of here
Allen Klein was a bad choice that John Lennon choose to manage him and the other Beatles and Paul McCartney was right not to trust Allen Klein 😒.
I agree, select the best songs of the White Album and put them on just one record and you will have a good album.
To me it never sounded like a band album.
Right. Sort f like a nice bootleg.
The White Album is great the way it is. I wouldn't change anything about it. Even songs like 'Wild Honey pie' and 'Why don't we do it in the road' are perfect for the record.
I`m with George Martin. I`ve tried so dam hard to like this album.
Imagine making Rubber Soul a double album , you`d surely diminish a masterpiece.
What are the best songs? And it still would sound nothing like a band album. Then? It's creativity was a double album getting the songs out, it's individual tracks,it's different to the other albums, some say the best. That's cos all the different tracks🎸🎶
more people need to watch this
They did get tired of each other. They'd known each other for 15 yrs too long by 1970
They were done. Toast. Sick of the whole scene. Agreed.
Who's doing the voices here?
Done. Three times
The female vampire had no decent boundaries or a sense of others collaborating. Vile creature.
Yoko?
SET HIM FREE by APOLOGETIX/a great parody of LET IT BE song
The Rolling Stones would go off and do their own records and then come back together and turn make a record and then go off again. I think the Beatles should have tried that. I do think the spouses poisoned that possibility. How many wives tell their husbands: "Oh, I'm so glad you're hanging out with the boys this weekend!"?
First time I've heard about the aftermath of there roof consert.
Can't wait until they come out with the movie and the series.
Why Skip Over “Lady Madonna/Inner Light” and “Hey Jude/Revolution!”
