@@lucythecircusgirl9412Me too! I want time machines to be invented so I can see The Beatles and experience Beatlemania myself. 💚💙🧡💖 I don't want to be in this era where people say BTS is trying to be like The Beatles.
@@soughnymaugh, I was eight years old when the Beatles debuted on The Ed Sullivan Show. Just a "fringe" fan who had my first crush, on Paul. I wasn't old enough to be a true part of Beatle "mania", but I did enjoy the music and the excitement of it all. So much fun.
God bless 'em! They were poised and perfect handling the ludicrous questions of the press. Their humour and personalities were as attractive to the fans as their music.
🐞 🐞 🐞 🐞 The Beatles was a legendary musician group of 4 guys that came from Liverpool England and they came to America as the Fab 4 but we know Them as The Famous Beatles
But what people don't realise is that they were a manufactured group. There is no way they got there through luck good and doing a few gigs in Liverpool and met Brian Epstein etc, they were groomed from the very beginning and chosen. The music and entertainment industry doesn't work like that. And there is some debate as to weather they even wrote most of their songs. For a group of lads in their early 20s writing songs like Yesterday is questionable IMO, because that isn't the kind of thing someone with little life experience could write at that age I would've thought, not only that but the amount of songs they wrote and performed in such a short space time is also questionable, and I believe they had some help by someone.
@@Embracing01There is a thing called "talent" that those who don't have it, don't understand those who have it, so they invent idiotic theories. Just remember that they continued writing beautiful songs throughout their career, simple!
@@Embracing01, no. Those young men had raw talent and spent 3 years in Germany, honing their playing skills and perfecting their harmonies, because they were intelligent and knew something about the music business. George Harrison's father was a professional musician and George inherited his father's musical talent. John and Paul were just musical and lyrical geniuses. Why do people assume that, just because someone is very young, that that person can't accomplish great things? Gerry Beckley, of the group America, was not only playing guitar like a pro, at the age of 10, but was also teaching other kids how to play. By the age of 12, he had mastered piano and was also giving lessons on that instrument. SMH... #Justice4JPM
@@spockboy, yes. Lousy American recording equipment, back in the day. Imagine, if we had only had the type of digital recording equipment, that we have now, only back then. What a difference it would have made. 🤷🏻
@@RogerPeet No, that's not what I meant. The Beatles were ALWAYS witty and charming. I meant why aren't modern pop stars as charming and witty? I wasn't even born when this happened so I am not bias, but I find modern pop stars to be mostly dull and self involved.

They looked clean cut.... outside of the hair
0:53 Paul: “John, John, Jahn” 😂
Coolest press conference of the century.
2:52 I never noticed before that Ringo says “I keep cracking that everyday; I’m sick of that one.”
They are press legends
Ringo was quick with interviewers.
How could we not love them?

Yeah and that stupid journalist at the beginning with the wig
They'd heard most it before, and tried to refresh the answer's
Good diction.
it's so funny watching interviews where john has his glasses off ; now knowing he can't see a thing lol
Ringo had the quickest wit in this particular interview. He saved the other Beatles a couple of times here
I noticed that too. Maybe that's why he was in the center area next to George, with Paul and John being on the ends
Here were the ingredients for The Beatles to be made and change our world with their music:
Smart brains
Cuteness
Handsome silence
Humor
Sweetness
Talent
The element of Generosity
And two secret ingredients:
S(m)exiness
Fab
This day is going to stay in the history and music history books for a long, long, long, long time!
John's "if we knew, we'd form another group and be managers" was genious!
i love how george being the youngest honest innocent kid at 1:40 and they 3 said ‘trRuUdDhH’
56 years ago today. February 7, 1964
They handled themselves perfectly. Beatles 1 Press 0.... lol!
I love how funny the four of them are, true British humour
Now I've realized Ringo has the quickest wit here!! ❤
You'd think this was Ringo's band from this conference!
Those were the best of times, overall. What a wonderful world it was…especially musically in the 60’s and early 70’s.
And the 1964 Worlds Fair and a new stadium Shea opened in 1964.
That’s why I desperately want to live there. But I’m stuck in this terrible timeline so- :(

A few minutes of history, that will never fade away.
They are all so handsome, John is so hot and Paul is .. everything 🥰 legends.
Realmente John era muito gostoso ❤
crazy how they had to tell them their names lmao
55 years this Thursday.
This is when the Sixties started.
I really wish I could've been there when the Beatles burst in the scene.

I like how George just casually has a ciggie hanging from his mouth...🚬
He died of lung cancer.
@@alfredodistefanolaulhe2212 ;'(
Che meraviglia bellissimi ragazzi.....così semplici....veri....che ricordi.....che bei tempi....
To think these mop tops changed the world.
0:42 John mocking American accent 😅
America fell in love with them at this press conference. I don't think, despite the passage of time, America has ever fallen out of love with them.
Thus the invasion began.
George not even 21 years old yet! 🤗
What a nice guys.
God bless 'em! They were poised and perfect handling the ludicrous questions of the press. Their humour and personalities were as attractive to the fans as their music.

Did I mention I miss Pan Am?
Wasn't their 1st press conference on Feb. 7? It was before they appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show on Feb. 9th for the 1st of 3 shows.
nightowlperson feb 7 is my birthday
yes it's true
60 years, and they still make an impact on our culture.
Fantastic
OK this needs to be slowed down like 4% because of the fiendish PAL-NTSC thingy. They sound like the Chipmunks.
But it was shot with American 35mm cameras.

someone should put captions on this
learning to decipher the words of guys with scouse accents speedily shouting through a crappy 60s microphone is a lifelong skill
I would go back in a heartbeat if it were possible
"Jahhn" 😂
Wow, witty, intelligent, charming pop stars. What happened?
They grew up. It happens.

Satan happened.
George: The baby Beatle 🥰😍😘🤗

Los amo a todos
george looks like a kid lmao
George was a kid. He was the youngest of them all.
Tavistock emissaries for the "Aquarian Project".
A rather meaningless press conference......
