What's very interesting about Pete is that he is like a time capsule himself: he still plays like a very good Liverpool drummer from about 1962. No more, no less. He didn't progress much, he didn't degrade much. When you watch him, it's like the time stood still.
Met Pete once, seems a well balanced character, who else could say that after having the pressure he must endured back in 62. Seen him perform numerous time, always fun. Hope to see you again Pete, keep going as long as you enjoy it.
Thank you Pete, the world owes you so much for what you did, stepping in at the last minute to go to Germany in 1960. without you, we might not have had what we had.
Pete was criticized not for his drumming abilities, but because he dared to be authentically himself, expressing shades of emotion that were ahead of his time. This authenticity seemingly turned the "Fab Three" into the "Uncomfortable Three." Pete’s gifts and talents, like veins of gold, highlighted precisely what unsettled the image-driven machine. He was ousted for being the "weird guy," whose abilities aligned more with the raw brilliance of Syd Barrett than with the shallow bubblegum pop of the era. In the end, Pete truly was the BEST.
Pete, I hope you read this. First, thanks for playing for all of us. When I heard that there was another Beatles drummer before Ringo, I was very curious. Now we can hear and see you in action, and I am enjoying your drumming. Second, it is clear to me what happened so long ago, both why you were so popular AND why the other 3 switched you out for Ringo. You have a more flashy drumming style, more "wow" drumming fills and strokes than Ringo. You are a real crowd pleaser, especially for the kids back in Liverpool that never heard anything like you before. I am sure that a lot of them came to see the Beatles mainly to see you, when their music was still under development. However, you have a flaw: your rhythm has moments of impreciseness here and there. I am not sure if you could have corrected that or not. I am plagued with the same thing when I play the piano. The neurons seem to lose track every now and then. Ringo is like a drum machine, always spot on, even when he varies the beat ahead or behind. Also, Ringo has a deeper sense of the music, adding subtle nuances, where you are more focused on the rhythm and making an amazing set of drum licks. As history has shown, the other 3 were aiming at something nobody had done before, beyond a crowd-pleasing rock-and-roll show. Hearing you, I don't think you could have gone there with them, while Ringo actually helped to lead them there. What makes me sad in all this is how the transition was handled. I think that they should have continued performing with you as the Beatles, while forming a new parallel group with another name, with Ringo, to do the studio stuff, eventually winding down the Beatles club phase. They also should have shared more of their financial success with you, of course. You definitely helped their popularity to grow, and to give them a platform and to just drop you was unjust. Thanks again.
Nonsense. Ringo was absolutely not "like a drum machine" with his timing at the time he replaced Pete. In fact, Ringo's drumming during their first recording session at EMI was rejected for poor timing by George Martin -- an assessment agreed with by Paul McCartney. The next week Martin hired a pro drummer, Andy White, to replace Ringo at the next session. JP&G did not sack Pete over his drumming, he was a terrific drummer. They sacked him over petty jealousy because he was the far and away most popular Beatle. Furthermore, John and Paul had not written ANYTHING yet that was beyond Pete's capabilities, and there's nothing on their first few albums that he couldn't have handled with ease. Would he have evolved as a drummer past that had he been in a band receiving drumming direction from songwriting geniuses Lennon and McCartney? We'll never know, Pete was robbed of that opportunity. smfh
Well done guys. I would love to see them one day. I never find out when they are playing. I love there album Haymans Green. Wish they would do another. Fingers crossed.
@@executivedecision6141 They actually recorded 4 other Albums . One was Live at the Adephi which was a recording of his comeback gig in 1988. You can listen to it on UA-cam. I highly recommend it . The others can be found if you goggle Pete Best Albums. I believe one is called " Back to the Beat "

I was about 5 rows behind you at Pete's gig, and really, really enjoyed it. I also met Pete afterwards, had a photo with him, and got him to sign his 'Beatle!' book. But interestingly, he declined to sign Spencer Leigh's 'Drummed Out' book, because he had nothing to do with it and he doesn't like it. Fair enough!
A great share KC enjoying all your uploads . Pete looks quite short of breath on those drums but managing to keep a strong beat and rhythm going fantastic ! The band sounds great too ! Terrific video my friend 👍👍👍🎸😎🎸BB (👍5 )
Glad you enjoyed the video my friend. Yes Bless Pete it was very hot in the venue last night and he was short of breath. One of the staff mounted a cooling fan up for him later during the set which he really needed. I had the privilege of meeting him after the gig and he is such a gentleman. Generous with his time for his many fans .

@@patrickbuzzo1970Ringo is not the drummer in his shows. He is the main attraction and THE STAR of the show who sings and also drums whenever he wants to. So there's little in common.
It's Pete's brother. Two drummers is for a heavier sound. A lot of bands used to do it, not so many anymore. The Beatles used to tell Ringo, "Ringo, how come you can't play the drums like they're played on this record." And Ringo would answer, "Hey, I'm not an octopus. That recording has two drummers. You guys just can't hear it."
@@timokrafft566 What on Earth are you talking about? Holy... If you could play when 20, you can play when 90. You couldn't have made a more wrong statement even if you tried. Can Ringo play today - YES, much better than Pete (he played better than Pete when they were young - still does of course.) Can Paul play - YES. Can Roger Daltrey still sing - YES. Can Ritchie Blackmore still play guitar - YES. - However - if you couldn't play when young - you most likely still can't when 90.
Saw him at Stern’s Square Springfield,MA in 2002. Wasn’t bad. Saw Ringo twice. Once with The Beatles in 1966 and once with his All Star Band in 2002. Two different types of players…

Well, maybe, but he must be 80 here. Need to compare them in their youth to be fair. That said, I also think Ringo was the better drummer.
