6:36 Ask Me Why
9:01 Besame Mucho
11:37 A Picture of You
Ask Me Why is a very polished song for such a young band. One of their very best early songs.
Very well put together, yes
The radio called the song 'I Love You'.
@@ktcarlHave another listen
Practice, practice…..
@ktcarl the radio announcer called it Ask Me Why.
4 years later, Revolver! 😮
Seven years later Abbey Road! These guys amaze me in what they accomplished in so short a time.
Good point. I think Best sounded good?
That puts things in perspective!
@@markeaton2003we needed that 2 & 4 backbeat.
Yes, quite amazing! By the late 1980s, many established bands would take three years just between two albums.
All those years ago
The Marvelettes, Roy Orbison and Chuck Berry - you can really see their roots. How far they took them!
Lots of covers back then
YES the Beatles did a lot of many great influences - BUT no band or solo performer has ever advanced like the Beatles did - One song after another - one album after another - one new thing after another - was it the drugs >...? - NO I say they did NOT need drugs to keep changing- It was to me just a continuous process- that even if they had stayed together would have kept on evolving on and on , Joe Nania
Listen to the harmonies from these teenagers. Incredible!
If I could pick a year to see The Beatles it would be 1962. A fascinating year as it was still pre-stardom where they gradually became the finished article.
Joey Molland told me he used to see The Beatles at the Cavern, and said if you didn't see them then, you really don't know how good they were
La mejor época !! Desde 1958 a 1962, incluyendo a todos los baterías
Totally
@@oscargannuso3497 ¿Todos? ¡Válgame! ¿Como cuántos habrán sido en esos años? ¿10, 15, 20?
How many what?@@billiswillis8293
That was the VERY FIRST version of Please Mr. Postman ever broadcast by the BBC or anywhere in Britain. The crowd starts out polite and goes nuts by the end. Rocking and Rollicking all the way through.
Not just Mr. Postman, but ANY Motown record!
I always wondered why "A Picture Of You" didn't make it further with them, I think it's a good song and George does a great job singing.
It’s basically the same arrangement as Joe Brown and the Bruvvers’ own. Maybe the Fabs ultimately weren’t in the business of doing “tribute band” style covers and this might have seemed surplus to requirements for their set pretty quickly. But yes it evidently suited George’s voice very well, so he may have felt differently!
From Wiki: "George Harrison was best man at Brown's second wedding in 2000; Brown had appeared on two songs on Harrison's album Gone Troppo, and also was featured on a track on Harrison's last album,Brainwashed." Who knew?
The boys performed twice on this show. The first was taped on 13 February 1962 when they performed 3 tracks: Dream Baby, Memphis Tenneesee and Please Mr Postman
It's the first performance that was taped on March 7th.
Temendous,and John was superb,it was surprising how good they were at this stage,also nice roy orbison cover!
This was soon after they returned from Germany, where they paid their dues playing 6-8 hour sets for 6 months or more
John’s voice! My gawd! Ask Me Why home run. Never really heard this in its entirety or Pete so clearly this much. He really was a caveman on the drums.
That's why it's called Rock'n'Roll.
Funnily enough I think Pete handles “Ask Me Why” quite well. He bashes away artlessly on everything else though.
Es increíble que Paul tenga la
Cualidad. De que el tono de su voz sea tan cambiante .y siempre con exito.saludos.
Y desde sus inicios The Beatles ya se oían con esa energía que los llevo al éxito.
Como es que unos chavillos sabían tocar super bien!!?? George tenia ya un nivel bastante bueno, John y Paul cantaban bastante bien afinados y estaban ya armonizando sus voces! Increíbles estos amigos, aun cuando tengo mas de 35años escuchándolos me siguen sorprendiendo.
Я слушаю их 55 лет и люблюю не хуже😂
Ask me Why was super amazing!!
Very underrated song
Guitar bands were never going anywhere ...

The Beatles forever❤❤❤❤💋💋💋💋🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Ringo is missing. Weird how it’s instantly recognizable.
it isn't just the drumming that Ringo contributed - hi flamboyant personality added a great deal to the band's persona. Pete Best may have been an ok drummer - but could he make fans scream?
@@coldlakealta4043 He was actually the most popular Beatle with the girls. But he didn't have Ringo's talent on the drums. Ringo had the groove, the vibe, and the chops necessary for the job. He fit in perfectly. Where as Pete did not.
Pete was lazy in developing his drumming skills, whereas Richard by the age of 22 already had the basic theory down.
@@panfluteextra1778 👍Ringo had more natural ability and charm. He was the missing piece to the puzzle.
How many bands of that time built up a two-level stage setup so can see the drummer? Blocked in by the amps this pix, but most drummer's heads are still at butt cheeks level behind. This recording kept me tense, going come on Pete give a bit'o a change here or fill there, hit that cymbal! Singers & basses have to follow the flow lock-step to set of pace, don't break my concentration to the syncopation.
Geez I was only 2 months old when this was recorded I was born Jan 3 1962 after they got rejected by DECCA
Then happy almost birthday; Must be amazing to have grown up during the evolution of hard rock.
Yeah true I had 2 older brothers that brought home some of the best bands I listen to the bubble gum rock on WLS WCFL and they brought home the Stones the Kinks Janis Jimi the Woodstock album Iron Butterfly kids my age never listen to that stuff I got it all was pretty cool@@panfluteextra1778
George’s guitar work is insane. What was he 18? Amazing.
George singing solo at that early stage of their careers? What a pleasant surprise!!
That was John not George.
@@mrfester42George sings lead on the last number
@@Tony-yp7ok That's what I meant when replying to mrfester, the guy above your comment. Thanks.
At this stage (and only around now), George had nearly equal time with John and Paul. After this, their repertoire became mostly Lennon-McCartney originals.
Amazing. An audio of early Beatles I have never heard. Thanks
They do a surprisingly good job with Bésame Mucho.
" Cha cha Boom " They took it from an American musical film with the orchestra of Xavier Cugat or Perez Prado from the 50s also called "Cha cha cha Boom", I think.
Already Talented and strong!
Straordinari questi beatles agli albori dei primi anni una chicca assoluta ❤😂😊
So in tune!
I think they’re gonna a big!
You can tell is not Ringo playing drums right away.
how is it that people want to under-rate him? Your ears tell the story. And how much of the band's image was his cheerful eccentricity? Would they have been as big?
Zzzz
@@coldlakealta4043You do know that Pete Best was playing drums right? Learn sarcasm mate
it doesn't swing like Ringo.......anyone who thinks best was even close to Ringo is musically illiterate.
Здесь уместнее - сразу СЛЫШНО?
dream baby and a picture of you.....They are the best, the others in official discography
Awesomeness reminds me of playing drumbs in bands in Cleveland
Perfect harmony vocals..the secret weapon of these young talented guys
Pete Best sounds like he’s beating the Tom Toms.. no fills .. Just beating drums like an Indian war dance. Get out!
Get the hellouta! You’re Fired!
Spot on. Good description.
You must be listening to some other recording. Took 2 years. For them to decide he couldn't play. Genius.
During the Pete Best era (1960-1962) the Beatles became the most popular band in Liverpool, UK and Hamberg, Germany. With Ringo Starr as their drummer (1962-1970) the Beatles became the most popular band in the world.
Histórico!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I thought I had heard everything by them . This live -in studio take of Please Mr Postman is very rare .
Pete Best Yes 👏
Ностальгия по ушедшим талантам!
Mr Postman is the best cover of the best band ever
Rock n roll🎉❤😊
Slightly confusing is that the broadcast was on 15 June 1962 according to Wikipedia - which would make more sense seeing that Joe Brown’s A Picture Of You had been released as a single just the week before.
These Beatles performances aired on two occasions on BBC radio; The March 7 performance aired on March 8, and the March 8 performance aired on June 15;
The second performance had to wait to air until the single was released on June 8, although it had already been written on March 8, and was performed as part of an agreement between Brian Epstein, Pye Records and Workhouse Studios, London.
@@panfluteextra1778 So presumably the voiceover about Joe Brown "rising very nicely in the charts" is added on for the broadcast? (How did the Beatles even know the song in March?). Joe Brown and the Bruvvers were well established in the UK scene by the time Love Me Do was released and it's funny to think that Joe was actually younger than John and Ringo.
@mikecole1633 Yeah, you got it. I’m pretty sure all of the voiceover was done in the studio on the day of broadcast, without any of the bands being present. That’s how they did a lot of radio shows, broadcasters would do deals with managers to acquire recently performed live performances in specific venues. Brian Epstein knew people in the music business and occasionally different groups would do each other’s songs. A similar situation happened a year later with ‘I Wanna Be Your Man’, which was written primarily by Paul McCartney but first recorded by The Rolling Stones, since the two bands were friends at that point.
According to Mark Lewisohn's The Beatles Chronicle, the performances labelled as March 8 here were actually done on June 11, then aired on June 15. This would explain the 'A Picture of You' performance. In that book there is a Beatles Fan Club letter reproduced that announces a bus will take Liverpool fans to Manchester on June 11 for the recording. That partly explains the enthusiastic applause after each song! I think they did the same thing for the March 7 recording.
Priceless! But it is strange why the quality of the recording is so low compared to amateur tape recordings of that time. I once came across a tape reel with "Why", recorded in Germany from the radio among other pop songs on an early portable tape recorder at 1 7/8 ips in about 1962 or early 1963, and it sounds wonderful. But here it feels like it was recorded on a dictation machine. It's a pity that such a valuable recording was not preserved in better quality :/
Besame Mucho is their best cover, imo.
The reverse roll at the beginning of She Loves You is brilliant .. only Ringo could do that. Pete wasn’t a horrible drummer.. but he wasn’t keeping pace with what the Beatles were doing musically, I think in a short period of time it would have showed up, in hindsight the best decision was made.. sorry Pete, I’m glad you got some cash out it.
Reverse roll??
@@jazzsnare .. or counter clockwise roll.
the beatles....the first show on the bbc...the last appearance of pete best
Pete wasn't sacked until 5 months after this performance, hardly making it his last.
I like hearing Pete Best, kind of makes them more 1950s, tougher in someway.
I like hearing Pete.... really shows the 1950s roots, they sound tougher

@@carlacontini1172 John Lennon once said that was the only time they were good.....when Pete was there
@@johngordon880true He also added later that they Wernt the Beatles After 1963 they became a more innocent Figuire of men compared to the early days
I believe the second show was recorded on June 11th and transmitted on the 15th.
pete best-drummer
Awesome version of Orbison's Dream Baby.
Pete was not the Best but Ringo was a Starr.
I wonder how much these old recordings could be cleaned up with AI. Could we someday hear them as if we were in the room that day?
Can i give you a tip? Buy a multitrack recorder, like 4 or 8 tracks. I have the Tascam Dp 008 , if you connect your smartphone or tablet to the multitrack with the proper cable , once you have recorded the first track , you can multiply for 4 or 8 tracks , make a new mixdown as you prefer , and after the mixdown, make the Mastering . From Mastering the multitrack will make the file , and from the single file you can put your music on Cd or Usb key . It requires time and patience , but at the end you will obtain an incredible result as sound . Regards, Patrick
@@patrickbuzzo1970
Thanks. That might be a project I take on at some point.
@@presto709 you are welcome ! Remember, if you will do the job the same way like i take care of my music works , you have for each tune to " create" a new song , to separarate one from each other ; that's the reason why i told you to be patience; to give you an example, last summer i took my old audio cassette of my concerts of 30 years ago , and i had to work all the songs one by one , every cassette needed about 10/ 12 hours of work for a concert lasting 2 hours, like i told you on my previous comment, once that i 've put each song on the track number 1, i have multiplied for 8 tracks ( this is the " track clone " option) , and blended all the tracks with High, Mid, Bass as preferred . And finally mastering. . I wish you a lot of satisfaction. Greetings from Italy, Patrick 👋🎸
@@patrickbuzzo1970 Hello, Patrick!
@@Cosmo-Kramer hi , Cosmo Kramer, hope you are doing fine 👋🐾🐾🎸
Pete was one of the original Beatles and no one can take that away from him ..besides his drummer on this recording is great
👍 Yes I like him too , very Paul Cook , (Punk) 🌿😎
Ask Me Why 最高！！
The critics said of the vocals John was good and Paul still needed work and Pete well sorry Pete in about 6 months Ringo will take over the drums
By the way George was good in the song Picture of you should be mentioned
Ringo just didn't take over the drums - his lovable flamboyance added a great deal to the band's persona. How would Pete have fared on Ed Sullivan?
@@coldlakealta4043 You are right when Pete was therehe sulked all the time did not conform with the band but he had a following and things did get violent for a bit but it worked in the end and for my money he is the GREATEST rock drummer in the world
All from 19 to 21 years old.
I love Ringo but there’s always something special about Pete Best
Pete Best was a pretty decent drummer for not having played for very long before meeting the other Beatles.
I've always wondered if he was just having a bad day during the George Martin sessions.
@@Themaddprof Yeah, I think they all did tbh
@@callixvision6481 You make a good point.
@@Themaddprof No, Martin didn't hear Pete on a bad day. Go listen to Pete's EMI audition of, "Besame Mucho", on Anthology 1, he's totally solid on it. Which then begs the question, why did Pete struggle with, "Love Me Do", during that same audition? Here's why. You see, The Beatles had been playing the song in the clubs and rehearsing it for the audition, and when they got to EMI they played it for the engineers and Assistant Producer, Ron Richards, whom Martin had put in charge of the session. George Martin wasn't even there, that's how little The Beatles meant to him at the start. But his staff auditioning the boys were so impressed by, "Love Me Do", in particular, that they sent for Martin who was in the canteen having tea. Martin arrived, took one quick listen, and out of nowhere he abruptly changed the arrangement, which included changing the drum pattern Pete was accustomed to playing the song with. The recording Martin provided to the Anthology project was not a final take by any stretch, it was of the lads trying to learn the new arrangement. For all we know the take Martin provided to Anthology was their very first attempt at his new arrangement.
But get this! The truth of the matter is, Martin didn't even have a problem with Pete's drumming! Yes, that's right. It was his Assistant Producer, Ron Richards, who told Martin they they'd want to use a session drummer for the first record. So Martin agreed, and took ownership of the decision when he told Brian Epstein that Pete was fine to remain the band's drummer for all live performances but he wanted to use a studio-experienced pro drummer for the first record, and that no one would ever know.
But here's the thing, Ron Richards later said, *"I had this thing about drumming, and when I asked Pete to play the song a certain way and he couldn't cope with this one part, I quickly told George we'd need a session man. But I was asking something too complex, which never made it into the song, and come to think of it, Ringo would not have been able to handle it, either."*
Well, who else was there? The two EMI engineers working the session. The first one, Norman Smith, said of Pete's uneven play on, "Love Me Do", *"The problem wasn't with how Pete was playing, but rather with the new arrangement that he was being asked to play. it was a terrible arrangement."* And the second engineer working the session, Ken Townsend, said, *"I didn't see any reason why a session drummer would be needed to sit in for Pete. But such decisions were above my pay grade, so I kept my mouth shut."*
Finally, must I remind you that Martin also rejected Ringo's first recording of, "Love Me Do", the same as he had rejected Pete's 3 months earlier. What's additionally noteworthy about that is the fact that unlike Pete, Ringo had weeks to practice the final arrangement Martin wanted, and Martin still rejected his recording, citing poor timing by Ringo -- an assessment Paul McCartney agreed with. So the next week Richards called session drummer, Andy White, and booked him for the official recording session the following Tuesday. White said it was the first time he'd been contacted about playing with The Beatles, so he had never been called about sitting in for Pete. It was Ringo's poor performance that prompted the hiring of Andy White. Even though they were already planning on doing it had Pete remained in the band, they had not yet made that call to White. If Ringo had delivered a satisfactory recording, they never would've called White.

@@Cosmo-Kramer 👍👍
Getting rid of Pete Best was the smartest move the Beatles ever made.
His beat is steady but it has no variation or accenting
Most reliable story I ever heard... after the long stint in Germany paying their dues, Pete was ready to go back to regular life once back home. Being a good local band on the weekends was the best plan in his mind at that point. Getting the recording time with George Martin involved was their next big leap, not sure the timing of when Ringo was involved before their first studio time with the sound engineers in white scientist garb! LOL anything beyond 4 track recording was high technology at that time. Beatles were about the first "pop" band given access to those BBC studios that were used for recording radio shows and classical music orchestras.
Pete is a nice guy. He doesn't sound bad on these songs at all, or the Decca recordings, or the few Tony Sheridan recordings. But, with that being said, the others weren't exactly highly skilled at this point. But they all seriously improved, along with Ringo. Pete didn't really improve much.
If it wasn't for pete they wouldn't have had a place to rehearse
@@patrickalloyssius9138 You mean if it wasn't for Pete's mother.
" Cha Cha Boom " ... They picked that up from a 50s American musical film with the orchestra of Xavier Cugat or Perez Prado, also called "Cha cha cha Boom", something like that. I saw this film on TV, a late night show, a few years ago.
***** Update : The name of the film it's : " Cha Cha Cha Boom " with Perez Prado & orchestra, the year is 1956 : ua-cam.com/video/cSPlzAI07u0/v-deo.html
Thank you for the info :3
Notable registro. En una de esas la IA podría rescatar este audio y llevarlo a Stereo.
😊
I wonder if they ever made it in the music world?
Just so people are clear..i's hard to play and instrument and sing at the same time. Ive been doing it for 45 years and it's still not naturally done without good concentration
Why Ringo? Mr Postman is a great example. In the version with Ringo, 'deliver the letter, the sooner the better' made a different point, a poignant pause. Pete Best wasn't bad, he just wasn't Ringo. Ringo had somehow caught the 'bossa nova' beat and that shows up again and again in his playing. In 'Ask me why' the beat is played on the guitars, the drumming just wasn't behind the intended rhythm of the song, it almost falls apart at times. Then, is Besame Mucho, that's the clincher. The guitars carry the drums, what drums? This exhibits precisely why the Beatles needed Ringo. Pete Best just didn't get the rhythmical sophisitication that the songs contained. No disrepect to Pete best. The difference between Pete Best and Ringo Starr is in this. With Pete Best the band played and he was catching up. With Ringo he played the beats they heard in their heads, put it there and they could get on with playing guitars and singing.
Pete Best was an average four on the flour drummer.

Poor John Lennon, he only had 18 years from this beginning
This is live in Manchester 1962 , with Pete on drums
yes Paul has a beautiful voice but it was John's voice in I want to hold your hand that shot them into the stratosphere. listening here to his early vocals I once again think that he was one of the great singers of the 20th century [in his Beatle period].
I have a CD of this. The sound quality is not the greatest, but it lends a certain charm.
I'm surprised these songs weren't part of Live at the BBC release (vol. 1 or vol. 2). They sound perfectly fine. Obviously, they are not a 10, but perfectly listenable.
Don't recall Pete Best on a BBC session
Cómo sonarían hoy The Beatles si Pete Best se quedará con ellos?
Musicians come and go, Quarrymen, Suttlif, many replaced on record by other musicians brought in so as to have the best possible recording for the public and record money. Besides Pete, another is Brian Wilson replaced on record by Carol Kaye (sp) , such as on Good Vibrations. Like who knew for years until UA-cam. So is the original musian left out?, no because of the demo tapes they played on to inspire the final record version. Beatles had others also: Clapton, Preston , orchrstra, Perkins? , some background singers...some right off the street nearly in one vid. As for Sutlif (sp) it is said they cant find any recordings whatsoever!??..Pete said he is happy to be on some Beatle recordings.
Com "AI" tudo ficará CLEAN e com HIGH QUALITY, mesmo os tracks da BBC e do STAR CLUB. É só questão de pouco tempo.
Claudio (from Brazil)
sim..sempre haverá surpresas e diversão com a música dos Beatles


I'm still surprised that despite being obviously talented and with a strong following not a single label wanted to sign this band. Yeah, Pete was a bit of an anchor, but lots of groups in those days would have just used a session guy on their records, as George Martin initially did on "Love Me Do". I have a feeling there just weren't many labels Brian Epstein could visit in the UK.
Where is bert
Too many here raggin’ on Pete.
Yea poor George best he was not all that bad on drums
That's because the notion that Pete got fired for any other reason than not being a good enough drummer needs to be ended once and for all
Ero convinto che non avessero mai cantato una canzone che non era di loro gli autori, scopro che "besame mucho" era nel il loro repertorio
Hmmm.. have to wonder why they were not included in the Anthology or BBC compilations.
The reason is obviously terrible quality
Ringo put the beat in Beatles.
Always if you hear bad drumming in a Beatles recording, it's easy to confirm that is Pete Best.
Bueno o malo es un trabajo y no se debe criticar para mi es de mal gusto ....ya bastante tuvo el sr. Best haber sido corrido de esa infame manera para encima criticarlo criticarlo y criticarlo ya chole no?????
@@rodolfomartinez3503 De mal gusto es ser tan sentimentalista y tan demagógico como para afirmar que un trabajo no puede criticarse.
@@GuajoloteGonzales es mi criterio y si no te gusta es algo que me importa un soberano sorbete vive y deja vivir ok????
I think Pete Bests drumming style was competitive.
I recognise it as I'm a drummer with the same outlook as him.
It's not always a bad thing look at Keith Moon for example.
Ringo was more supportive rather than challenging and the overall sound of the band was better because of it.
Pete best belonged in a hard rock band. Good tape
Oh look, George is singing as many songs as John and Paul. It was the same at the Decca auditions, he's singing lead almost as often as the lead singers. Because he was seen as a lead singer in Hamburg and beyond. It was a band with three singers.
George Martin came along, undermined their new drummer instantly, and regulated Harrison to the backyard.
And Pete Best ain't all that bad. He's keeping tempo. I just think Ringo plays with more authority and confidence. And he could swing. There's life in his drumming, whereas Pete is kinda just doing his job. It's not a crime, he's a good drummer, and they sound decent with him. They just sounded a lot lot better with Ringo. Good thing George brought him into the band!
But shame on them all for how they let Pete Best go!!!!
Just a different, less obtrusive style of drumming. Ringo used more snare and brass…Pete seems to stick mostly to driving with the bass and toms. Ringo made his drumming a fourth actually interesting instrument, whereas Pete seems to have stuck to just providing basic rhythm. Those early hits would not have shimmered as much without Ringo’s cymbals and ride…an essential part of the magic sound.
Best, drums as a 50s drummer (the binary sound) ... Star is more progressive.
@@catholiccowboy8545 Well, I would suggest listenning to the drums for Memphis Tennessee in the original recording by Berry and, later, check out this other version.
My impression is that, Pete Best starts playing, and he seems that, he is not paying attention to, what the rest of the band is playing, in other words, Pete Best plays the same tempo during all the song (for Memphis Tennessee) and, there are parts (in that song) that, Harrison, McCartney and Lennon are playing a different tempo than, what Pete Best is playing...
A drummer is a person, not a machine, must know the song and must be able to play each and every change of rythm in the songs, but Pete Best, starts playing and he doesn't mind if there is a change in the song or not, and there are parts that the rest of the band are playing a different tempo.
So, in those changes, he plays the same ryrhm and, what sounds is, on the one hand, a bass-guitar-guitar band (with no drummer that is playing something that fits the melody their playing) and, on the other hand, a drummer that might be playing acompletely different song...
With due respect, the drummer that is playing Memphis Tennessee in this video (I don't know if it is Pete Best, or not) is not qualified enough to play that song by Chuck Berry correctly, and, unless he had learnt to play drums (which means, listening to what the other musicians are playing and, recognising the proper rythm for every part) that drummer wouldn't have been able to record a proper rythm for, for example, songs like, Strawberry Fields For Ever, or I've Got A Feeling or other classics that should be recorded and released later.
@@patriciaydiegoormaza-marti2446 ... Thank you .... we already knew that Best was clearly not the best for the Beatles.
The Best thing, ahem, to say about Pete’s drumming is that
it didn’t interfere with the trio of voices growing strong plus it made them find a swing of their own which Ringo picked up on
They were going nowhere, man
without Ringo…
Mr Postman is a great example of your point. In the version with Ringo, 'deliver the letter, the sooner the better' made a different point, a poignant pause.

'Ask me why?' John Lennon, as rhythm guitar, celebrates Ringo in strictly musical terms. The inclusion of Ringo turned a chemistry set into a band.

It’s funny the drummer 🥁 is very good.

I’m sure that they never thought people would be interested in these old tapes over 60 years later. They honestly had no Idea what was starting.
Be interested to see what Peter Jackson could do with this.
I have an idea! Let's compare this video to an early video by Metallica by typing, Metallica Live March 1983 in San Francisco, CA, in the search box of UA-cam.
Pete’s 15 mins of fame.
he's actually had a long and lucrative career as the ex-Beatle
@@coldlakealta4043 I know he has. But he has not known fame on a Beatle scale which is why I said what I said.
@@coldlakealta4043 Lucrative? Not until the mid-1990's!
@@mikeymutual5489He used to do Interviews through out the 60's to the 80's as a former Beatle or Lost Beatle and the Interviews were basically that.
@@fabriciocastro4322 That doesn't sound like a very lucrative gig to me, and it wasn't.
Without Pete these recordings would never been made, it was his mother Mona who wrote to the BBC to get them on the radio, this is a fact. even so Pete was not THAT bad at all. I believe he would have been a very populair member and he allready was very populair in Liverpool. Not missing Ringo. He was the lucky one who said ,,yes" because The Beatles paid him a bit more then The Hurricanes.
Mo arranged the first TV crew to film The Beatles. She set the date for August 22nd, and JP&G waited to sack Pete until just 6 days before that, so it would be too late for Mo to cancel the TV crew coming to film the band. When they did arrive, Ringo was on drums, and the only song (maybe there are two) we have from that event is ironically, *"Some Other Guy".* There were loud chants, *"RINGO NEVER, PETE BEST FOREVER!"* One enraged fan headbutted George Harrison so badly his bruised eye is still gnarly looking in photos 3 weeks later at the band's first official recording session at EMI. Jeezus, they really did the dirty on Pete. smh As for the BBC radio recording sessions, I don't think Mo set those up, are you sure you're not confusing the two events?
I love it. You can hear the future. Pete Best did a pretty good job, Ringo is just a better fit. I'm not a drummer, but I can hear the difference in their playing. As in most live performances the tempo is a bit rushed. The energy! They were soooo good, even at this point they were ready for the big time.
Did Pete Best get the push after this?
It wasn't long after this. The last straw was getting into an argument with George Martin in June after the abysmal first recording of Love Me Do. Here's a link to the recording; ua-cam.com/video/e3Oc67FdcpY/v-deo.html&ab_channel=TheBeatles-Topic
@@panfluteextra1778 it sounds like Pete's drums are arguing with all the Beatles on that recording. 😆
@@panfluteextra1778 Sounds like ol' Pete was arguing with the whole band in those recordings. And yes that version of (the ordinary song anyway) Love Me Do is a shocker.
I'm glad the Beatles never put "Besame Mucho" on their records.
Ringo could play drums
Pete Pest owned a drum kit
