    A big thank you to Geoff Pesche. It was so kind of him to invite you and your wife to tour Abbey Road Studio and allowing us to enjoy your story.

      Seeing the St Pepper’s recording machine at close quarters like that would be like holding Picasso’s favourite paintbrush.

    Thank you Dan, that was awesome. To see it from a fans perspective instead of a documentary is even cooler. I was born February 6th 1964. I guess I was racing the plane coming in from London on February 7th! I'm a lifelong Beatles fan, and the city I live in in New Jersey is actually the hometown of Paul's current wife. A couple of years ago, he was wandering downtown about 5 mi from where I live. Talk about missing an opportunity in my own backyard! But again thank you for that fun trip to Abbey Road Studios

    Thanks Dan. I was born in 1957. As a kid, I lived in St John’s Wood for a while. I’d go past the studios often. Occasionally I’d see band members from Beatles, Pink Floyd etc. going in and out. Lords cricket ground is close by too. Another legendary place. How cool is that! 😁

    Ah!!! I'm so jealous! I visited London in 1988 and made it as far as getting my picture taken at the entrance of Abbey Road at the top of those iconic steps (and I still treasure it), but could not make it inside, even though I was in radio at the time. This sort of makes up for it. Love all the photos and stories and you got a couple of songs mastered at Abbey Road! Are you kidding me? Thanks for the tour, Dan! Well done!

    I am so happy for you and your wife. I am going to England for the first time this August as well. I booked a home across the street from Macca's. Yes, I plan to walk by Abbey Road every day and just soak in the atmosphere of being "there". Truly a life long dream for this musician! I found your video while searching for Abbey Road Studio tours as I literally just found out that Abbey Road is holding one of their rather rare public tours while I'm there. I was able to purchase two tickets for my daughter and myself and I am beyond words. Your story truly is inspiring and amazing. Jealous? No. Happy for you? Yes!!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful time with those of us who love this studio so very much!

    Not a die-hard Beatless fan but I do enjoy their music and the new tricks they did on each album. Paul is my favorite and he really opened up when he started WINGS. Ringo and George also made songs I still like. But there is no denying what they did for music and how a little studio was part of it.

    Hi Dan. Awesome tour. I’m a photographer and had the privilege to spend a week in studio 2 doing documentary photography for Alexander Kariotis and the Rock Opera Orchestra. I was in awe as soon as I walked in the building. So much history there. It was amazing to see all that vintage gear just sitting in the hallways. Standing in Studio 2 had a familiar feeling to it. It looked just it did in all those Beatles documentaries I’ve seen over the years. I really love your channel. So many topics hit a cord with me. Keep up the awesome work! Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

    While I was just a kid growing up in the 60's (born 59) I really remember the Beatles. I can remember the time just before and once they hit the air waves everything changed. I can remember when their newest albums came out and started being played on the local AM radio. I also recall the news when it was announced they were breaking up. Always wished they could have produced one more album together but that was forever ended in 79. While I am not a musician in any way, I always am curious on how they old songs were recorded. Just as you talked about the modern offerings for the classic sound effects, they just aren't the same as what they used back then. Good video, and anymore Beatles content would "be so cool" to watch one day.

    Visiting Abbey Road Studios and sitting inside studio 2 was otherworldly for me - almost an out of body experience. I was lucky enough to be in London at the same time a Beatles lecture series was taking place in November 2021. Right place, right time. Climbing the stairs to the control room ... seeing all the original equipment ... simply amazing, and I agree it's too bad more people can't experience it. Fun fact: I went to high school, and was college roommates for one year with, the CEO of Avid Technologies - maker of Pro Tools. We lost touch years ago, but it wouldn't surprise me if he's been there - we were both huge Beatles fans and drove to L.A. to see Beatlemania while still in HS in '78.

    "Wish You Were Here" was also recorded at Abbey Road. During the recoding a guy walked with no eyebrows and overweight. The members of Pink Floyd didn't know who he was. Then after a time Richard Wright asked who that was and it was Sid Barrett. One of the original members of the band. They had not see him in years, last time he was skinny and had eyebrows. It hit them all hard on how much their friend had changed, even Roger Waters started to cry.

Never getting to meet him. But at the other SIR studios I did get to hang out with who, which was just as cool but not as cool
