They should have a little exhibit at the Rock Hall of Fame about these chicks. Truly, literally pioneers of Rock and Roll. So happy for their long-overdue recognition!
OK this is the play, wow after all their stuggles and hard work, and life getting in the way, it must be really wonderful for the two survivors to see a play about what they did all the way back when. So very cool, I'm their newest fan. Go ladies!!!!!!
A play, yeah I'm glad someone pointed it out. There's a vid where two of them, including the drummer (seen here?) talk about the experience. The singer looks but doesn't sound so much like the original. They died years ago due to drink and drugs.
@@jeffbosch1697 I didn't know that sorry. I thought the singer, she was despairing, into drugs, and didn't know what to do after the band stopped. Sounds a bit like me, without the drugs.
@@therespectedlex9794 In another Beatles parallel, like Pete Best she soldiered on, determined to make it as a musician. (I'm not an expert on the band, but anything Mersey related fascinates me, maybe because the first songs I remember hearing on the radio back in the mid sixties were Ferry Across the Mersey and Hello Goodbye, still two of my favorites.)
@@jeffbosch1697 Anything Mersey fascinates you? Have you ever been to Liverpool? It is notoriously crime ridden. It's Irishness and immigration seems to make it very agitating. It's people are amusing, and friendly but sometimes a bit silly, and even hostile. Mersey beat had a gentleness which isn't quite the same as Liverpool now, even the accent and how people talk. I sometimes wonder if there's anything else to it.
How much you wanna bet the young girl in the middle of the backup singers is a daughter or granddaughter of the drummer. Anyone know who she is related to in the band. and damn... Grandma can still play the shit out of those drums! She can still keep the beat steady after all these years. Wow.
I had the pleasure to interview recently the rhythm section of Mary and Sylvia on my channel. Great fun and some fascinating stories about The Beatles, Jim Hendrix, the Stones and Chuck Berry 😎
Wow amazing the first all playing female band in the world in the 60's I had to watch this a few 3 times to convince myself I was not seeing things and then I was singing peanut butter for the rest of the day its frigging catchy song so watch out...lol
They were NOT the first ever all female group Groups composed solely of women began to emerge with the advent of rock and roll. Among the earliest all-female rock bands to be signed to a record label were Goldie & the Gingerbreads, to Atlantic Records in 1964, The Pleasure Seekers with Suzi Quatro to Hideout Records in 1964 and Mercury Records in 1968, The Feminine Complex to Athena Records in 1968, and Fanny (who pioneered the all-female band sound in the early to mid-1970s) in 1969 when Mo Ostin signed them to Warner Bros. Records. There were also others, such as The Liverbirds (1962-1967), the Ace of Cups (1967), The Heart Beats (1968), and Ariel (1968-1970).
You do know Ringo is one of the Greatest Drummers. He is so underrated. He never gets too fast or slow he is perfect. The Beatles are perfect the Greatest Band in History.

I like peanut butter, but that's ridiculous.
The Drummer is a beast (in a complimentary way)!
Been playing the same beat in every song now for 50 years.
As long as it's in time, it doesn't matter. I'm a drummer. @@webwillie1
Sylvia still has that same energy. What a lovely person

@@therespectedlex9794 They died at the ages of 65 and 71. I'd say they earned the dignity of dying of old age, not from drinking and drugs.

Them old birds can still flat out rock!
I saw this show last night it was fantastic and when they brought the two surviving members on at the end it made the night.
Who's here from the 'Almost Famous' video? What a great little documentary!! ...and I had heard of them!!
Looks like Sylvia have tried to play at the original speed - and I'm sure she still can keep it up. Oh, how I wish to buy the DVD with this musical...
they still play amazing for being in the 70s
yall should search liverbird first
they perform with jimi hendrix
beatles
Never opened for the Beatles but did for Hendrix
I'm a new fan ,,saw their story on you tube 😊
Me too ! Just did !

She appears to be the stage version of Sylvia Saunders: Sarah Workman. You owe us all your money.
You proved John Lennon wrong girls🙈
ok boomer
Malchik Blue For about fifty years since they last made music, I’d say they’re doing alright, but ok.
Malchik Blue how so?

@@eshaalakhtar9911 That Dick Lennon literally told them... in person "Girls don't play guitar".
Ah, rock on, girls....wish I could have been there....

I just bought the LIVERBIRDS 29 song CD set
Go Ladies!
Just fantastic!

Yup, me too! Such a heartwarming story. Wonderful ladies.
Yeah!
Bang that drum!
This is awesome.
Flipping fantastic go girls
I am fan just discovered the Liverbirds Wow they sound Amazing! these ladybyrds got Soul! 👏👏 🐦

Like many other bands at that time they also had a crooked manager who drove this talented band to the wall
Not true
God bless you, ladies.
LOVE THE LIVERBIRDS! LOVE LIVERPOOL! lm
Love this!!
Love you ladies
I would love to see Mary and Sylvia in conversation with and playing instruments with Paul and Ringo. That would be stellar!
Awesome.
The Marathons did the original version of Peanut Butter in 1961. Check it out.
Wow amazing the first all playing female band in the world in the 60's I had to watch this a few 3 times to convince myself I was not seeing things and then I was singing peanut butter for the rest of the day its frigging catchy song so watch out...lol
I just heard about this band. I'm obsessed with this song. I'm going topla it with my grandsons.
Strange how the bassist and the drummer are still alive...just like another band we all know.
That Ringo's a bell? 😊
Mama beating them drums 🎉
This are the prove, John Lennon was Final completely wrong "GIRLS CAN PLAY GUITARS!!!!!! and how!!
And his mother gave him the first music lessons.
Go Sylvia Go!
Yes, yes they do. Girls rock!
I want a Liverbirds tee shirt!

You just proved yourself wrong? From your discourse the Liverbirds were the FIRST. 1962 surely comes before 1964?
first BRITISH female ROCK band from 1662
John lennon got shat on
the bass player and the drummer are the original band
Almost famous
And that is why they faced somewhat success as live players, and then never did anything else and faded into obscurity, the Beatles meanwhile…..
wait I read 2 of them died years ago, so when was this??
Only two of them are the original members. The drums and the lady in the bass. They are the ones who did a little bow at the end.
I always digged the drummer!
The drummer can still teach Ringo a thing or two !
You do know Ringo is one of the Greatest Drummers. He is so underrated.
He never gets too fast or slow he is perfect. The Beatles are perfect the Greatest Band in History.
Joe Scarborough introduced the “Liverbirds” ? 🥴🤣🤣🤣
she. had to play the drums... as her hands were too small for the guitar...
Bet Kurt Cobain would have loved them. Being into The Beatles and bein a feminist.
Для школьных вечеринок вполне сойдет.
no wonder English men drink all the time
They must be so sick of playing “🥜 🧈.”
Seems John was right
Kim Linton seems you’re an idiot and very very wrong.

@@wilfredoanunezpacheco5367 yeah cause they totally played hits. Not!
Ok boomer. It's a bop
