Back in December 1962 I was playing bass with Mike Dean and the Kinsmen and we played with the Beatles at Bedford. When they came on I couldn’t believe what I was listening to. We played with lots of top bands at the time but these guys completely knocked us out, they were the best. I’m 83 now but still have wonderful memories of that night
Many people, especially narrow-minded Americans (I am American!), do not realize the effect that the Beatles had on transforming Russia and the influence they had on the good people across that beautiful country. Rock on raymack70. Stay young at heart.
Thanks Dad you told me who the beatles were and it was your fav. Band. You passed away today and it hurts so much but i love you for all and forever! ❤
It is amazing how they surge in popularity again every few years. Right now it's the "Get Back" Disney video, and a new group of fans. In years to come, I wonder if someone will clean up this video and make it even better.
Younger people will never understand the impact they had on music, fashion, and mindsets.....................they changed the world....Ed Sullivan Show, my nose was pressed up against the tv screen..you had to be there in the beginning...........
I remember the joy and anticipation hearing brand new Beatle songs for the first time. I stared at John Lennon’s eyes on the cover photo of Rubber Soul and felt like he was looking back at me. Incredible time to be alive
It’s 2021 and we have Spotify, iTunes, etc to listen to thousands of other groups, yet I still rather watch the Beatles than anyone else. So, who’s watching in 2021!!!
I’m almost 60 years old and have been a huge Beatles fan since receiving the red and blue double albums as a birthday gift in December of 1976. I’m still listening and watching and have no plans of stopping anytime soon. Beatles forever!!!
I saw a quote from a journalist commenting on their anthology release once years ago, which struck me; "they were the collective joy of the 20th century; having followed two world wars, a great global depression and a time of profound upheaval and change. They were the heat that melted a cold war. The ushers of a new way of thinking and celebrating life." A great way to describe this phenomenon.
@Nick Madness Stones? Yes, in terms of longevity but, in terms of originality, creativity, and impact on music and the world in general, it's not even close in my opinion.
@Nick Madness I agree! IF you like both bands for their unique qualities your better off I do not know how many verbal fights I have gotten into trying to choose one over another..
@Nick Madness The early stones were never in tune, sang flat in every live show, and were miserable. I do love their early recordings but compare 3 videos of the Beatles from 1964 or so to 3 videos of the Stones and then let us know. Even Mick Taylor said they were never in tune and sang bad and he quit in 5 years. Also, Beatles vocals and music is way more taxing than the Stones music
Ikr…..I feel so fortunate to experience that time in music. It was so phenomenal. Everyday…on the radio, ….thats all we had other than records, AND ALL THE RADIO STATIONS would be playing the BEATLES ROUND THE CLOCK.. LOL. WILD.
I'm 76 and I've seen every major rock band in history, from the Cream, to the Doors, to the Beach Boys, to Jimi Hendrix, to Led Zeppelin, and trust me, this was the single best rock band in history, bar none. No other quartet was able to generate this kind of sustained excitement ever, and none ever will again.
.....NO, the beatles where certainly NOT the single best rock band in history, and certainly NOT LIVE !?!?!.....James Marshall Hendrix by 'A-Country-Mile' all day and every day, and it's not even close.....sustained excitement Woodstock 1969, Monterey 1967, Fillmore East 1969 -1970, etc. etc.....IF this concert in 1964 is the beatles best performance ever, then your in serious TROUBLE !!!.....
@@8TENASTER8IDS Jimmy Hendrix was not a rock band, nor would he have been doing what he was doing had it not been for The Beatles who smashed the mold making it possible for all the great bands to come.
@@kcmule .....the Jimi Hendrix Experience WAS a "Rock Band" blanket-head !?! producing 3 studio albums Jimi Hendrix, Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding, likewise Jimi Hendrix, Billy Cox and Buddy Miles as the Band Of Gypsys.....
The BEST by Far , they Did it all , just listen to Music from 62-63 , The Beatles , innovators they were iconic they were a cultural phenomenon. No other band in history ever did what they did just a fact you can’t duplicate it. God brought them together at the right time. Amen.
@@johnloguirato3486 .....yes BUT !!, where would their albums be WITHOUT George Martin as the record producer, arranger, composer, conductor, musician ?????.....
I was 13 when my father drove myself and my friend Kathy to the Beatles concert at the Boston Gardens. My poor dad must have been petrified to allow me to go in there without him while he waited in the parking lot. The screams were so loud you couldn’t hear a single word. That and Woodstock were 2 of my finest moments.
@@pokey5736yes! It was so fun and easy, my dad dead that winter and the hard times came. My mom,never worked outside the home and had 5 boys 2 girls .. no insurance. I love the Beatles music. ❤❤ for the memories
Im in my 60s i had 5 siblings only the youngest left. Butbmy older sister and i were so close. Her and older brother had a crazy love for music. Anywaywe used to talk about though getting old what generation had our music 🎶!! Beatles, elvis,kinks,the who, rolling stones, Dylan, Clapton, endless talent that carried into the 70s,80s. Even today. How fortunate we heard a brand new Beatles album for fist time. Beach boys. You understand. I miss my family and old friends being able to talk what great music we had. Music will never be the same. Our generation changed it forever. Peace olle friend!!🎶🎹☮️✌️👍😊
I have never seen any comments area, without many DOWN thumbs. but here truth be told...not ONE down thumb, any ware!!! that my friends, speaks for itself. they were and still are unexplainable. just simple the best rock and roll band ever, there lyrics were ALWAYS about love, happiness, maybe a little loneliness, but never vulgar. never boring, never not understandable. rest in peace John, and George, thanks for the memories. youse were the GREATEST.
@@inevski I agree with your comment about the Beatles. However, my own experiences are that you really had to be around during those times to fully appreciate the phenomenon that was happening all around. No book, no video nor any film will ever be able to capture the essence of those times.
@@jeanhansel5805 I don't even think this is true. I know people from those times who think of the Beatles like one famous group of the time. Others who dismiss them in favour of some dim rival. And I know two generations since who are absolutely immersed in everything they were and are. It's something like the difference between being a music lover and a consumer passively absorbing the trends of the time. There are plenty of 60s teens and 20 somethings who never went to a live event nor cherish the Beatles to this day, even though they bought some records then. So how would you know what it is to love the Beatles when you're born after the 60s and actually grew up as a young child on our parents' soon to be forgotten records. Only then to investigate their phenomena across a lifetime. You don't know. With more access to media than those days. You don't know how younger music lovers understand the Beatles.
Nobody will ever surpass the Beatles, in terms of musicality, innovation, consistent high quality song writing, and impact on the music industry at the time. The greatest group ever.
@@sonoffantm who plays that amazing riff in She Loves You? It's a turn around, it comes in right before the vocal starts and happens again right before the 2nd verse. Always assumed that was George but now I'm not sure, it sounds more like John's Rick.
That’s John taking the solo on You Can’t Do That. Not that you can see it here-the TV director decided to show Paul and George instead, even though they weren’t singing.
The one and only “The Beatles.” I was only 14 years of age and l became an instant fan. My little sister was only 2 and she would clap her hands and sing to the tunes of “l wanna hold your hand” and “l love you yeah yeah yeah.” She had a mop head like the Beatles. I nicknamed her “Beatle” against my mother’s wishes. I would raise the volume on my radio and drove my mother crazy. She would say “you’re going to get deaf and your little sister.” I didn’t listen and they went on to become the greatest band in history. My little sister now she 62 is still called by her nickname “Beatle” by my mother’s family. Beatle mania will continue. I was the most fortunate teenager in the world to be born when they came out to the world.
I'm 70 and I miss those days so much. The world was crazy in a different way but the music of the 60's led by the Beatles was magical. I feel sorry for kids nowdays who think modern music is even music. The Beatles didn't have the technology they do now. They had to be really talented and great musicians.
No need to bring down modern music, there’s a lot of good music now. I’m 18 and appreciate the Beatles a lot but a lot of modern music is doing innovative things.
I idsagree. Rap and hip hop are just decadent and negative for the most part and all the kids listen to it.. There are some good songs that come out now and then but seems to be mostly country, western which I'm not a fan of. @@DeKevers
They sang in harmony. They stayed in tune despite the screams. They wrote their own songs. They were beautiful on stage, with their smiles and bows and little dancing movements. They were clearly enjoying themselves, and their love and affection for each other was obvious. They were like no other band before or since. Legendary.
I remember the summer of 1966 as being the quote-unquote best summer of My life! Revolver had just come out and you could walk down the Ave here in the University District in Seattle in here all the tracks from that album playing up and down the street with the sun shining on my 11 year old head!❤
I was working a summer job as a fulltime landscaper for a doctor on Mona Lake in Norton Shores, MI. Didn't need a radio. Someone on the lake played Beatles albums all day long and, if you aren't aware, sound carries quite well over water. Ah, the memories.
I'm 71 and still feel that thrill I got in 1963 when I heard them for the first time. There have been so many great bands, but these guys were the best.
Devastated when they left us(were taken!!) Murdered and cancer… it still hurts. Ringo and Paul , Olivia and Yoko are carrying on without their mates.. so sad ..
I can't understand why John hated his own voice! This is an amazing example of what a great singer he was, especially live! He sounds awesome in this performance!
This vid is misleading. The audio has been cleaned up. I have a friend who then aged 17, attended one of their Australian concerts (Brisbane venue). We both still play guitar and I jam with him to this day. He reported to me that apart from beign able to say he was there as a nostalgic novelty, he may as well have saved his money. Given the amplification of the day, after the first 30 seconds, The Beatles couldn't be heard above the din of the girls unceasing screaming. Beatlemania as was, which just had to be experienced. No retelling quite captures their impact & the hysteria. Lennon confirmed this himself on several occasions, reporting their annoyance in not even being able to hear themselves above it.
@@theblytonian3906 The recording though should be coming off the board so it would not be much like they or the audience was hearing at a live performance. This video is indeed evidence they could pull it off live and tightly. Granted their later music was not meant to be played live and that not all went as well as this particular performance it is stunning historical evidence that they could indeed perform live this well..
To add. Their early albums were essentially live performances as they didn't use many if any overdubs etc.. hence they plugged in and played together and what you hear is what you get. Considering how quickly they recorded those early albums is testament. Their later stuff was more experimental and depended on studio magic to get the sound. But still undeniable talent. Just add the producer as a 5th member.
@@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306 Not dealing in 'what ifs', but as it was. I just gave you accurate testimonial evidence of what a live performance by them was like to experience first hand as reliably related to me by someone I've known for over almost 50 years. That The Beatles were tight live derived of their grounding around the traps in the UK prior to their foundation developed by those grindingly long hours in Hamburg through their return to The Cavern and other venues around the UK until their subsequently presentation polish and promotion by Epstein is already well served by evidence prior to this. No-one can challenge A. their raw talent, B. the alignment of the stars probability of the charismatic mix of those 4 individuals coming together in that place and time. Having lived the era with a basis of comparison since, no argument from me, The Beatles -as was, remain the act to follow & greatest band ever in my eyes since their initial chart success in late 1962.
@@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306 Don't forget the real 5th Beatle, Brian Epstein, no disrespect to Sir George Martin who might arguably hold position as 6th. Epstein was the glue, an undeniable fundamental factor in shaping their image, harnessing their talent productively, availing them of opportunity critical to their initial success and subsequent unprecedented rise of Beatlemania no one could have predicted. Even with all that talent, without him or the coincidence of the time was right, they may remained struggling also rans or a few hit wonders before fading into obscurity like so many other bands of the day. I'm certainly glad they didn't.
Love Lennon's raw grainy voice. It's a total opposite of McCartney's smooth voice. Together, they complement each other. Best songwriting duo in the history of rock and roll. George's voice is awesome and underrated too.
@Keith Kristi Paul had greater range and training. He was a choirboy, after all, but his was the screaming voice -- as well as the "lover voice". He and John were very competitive about who really understood rock and roll. And then there was George, who managed to find a miracle middle. Without Ringo's deceptively "uncomplex" drumming, always a bit "behind" the "Sound" wouldn't have been there. Again, a miracle.
@@harold3165 Didn't you read my post ? I said George's voice was underrated, which means he had a great voice too. As far as Ringo, he was a better drummer than singer, but this doesn't mean he can't sing.
Musically George's lead drove the band. Typically a compliment for an exceptional bass. George was the under-rated element of the band as he proved with a lot of the music he was forced to caned until he went solo.
@@thewkovacs316 They certainly changed the world's perception of the supposed division between high brow and low brow composition. To my knowledge, folks like Leonard Bernstein were not given to weighing in on the merits of the songbooks of Buddy Holly or Little Richard. Songs like 'For No One' and 'Eleanor Rigby' changed that. Also from Revolver, I believe it might've been Al Kooper who suggested that without 'Got To Get You Into My Life' there would've been no Blood, Sweat and Tears or Chicago. For better or worse? That's a separate question.
What amazes me is that John can maintain that chain saw of a great voice without going hoarse. I've never heard another voice that sounds even remotely close to his. Paul's is really unique too. The grouping of those 4 guys and George Martin was truly a miraculous gift to us all.
Obviously people remember their later studio stuff more these days as it's more listenable and relatable for a modern audience, but what's often forgotten is how the Beatles cut their teeth as an absolutely killer live band. By this point the core members had been playing together for 5+ years and had thousands of gigs under their belts. Their first two albums were also recorded in the 2-track era, so what you hear is pretty much the best live take. Being that good, that young, with that much charisma and their own songs. Simply unheard of at the time. They blew everyone away.
Agree 100%... their harmonies were so tight and they - especially Paul - look to be having so much fun!. Would have loved to have seen them in concert back in the day. If only time-traveling was possible... some day!
A billion times better then anything before or since. The raw youthfull energy and charm combined with perfect timing and vocal performance is spite of the noise from the audience and the poor equipment is simply stunning! Timeless like Mozart! There is no better cure for depression then these four guys.
@@Cracktune No stage monitors, no mixing boards. Imagine trying to sing and play an instrument when you can't hear the other band members, or yourself. From their perspective all they heard was screaming. Nobody today could pull that off.
''A billion times better than anything before or since.'' Gotta agree! They transcended mere pop groups. They were a phenomena coupled with the extraordinary times, which Dylan noted, were changing. No kidding!
The Beatles were a big part of my life during my teen years. I saw them at Shea Stadium in New York. We could hardly hear them singing because the screams were louder,lol. Still a day I will never forget
This is without question he best band of all time. Those of us lucky enough to have been teenagers when they burst on the scene have carried them with us all through our lives.
The early mid 60s were amazing for music, my high school years. My best friend and I went to a great effort to see them at Red Rocks when they came to Denver...
As someone born in 86, they're still the best band ever. The sheer volume and cutting edge exploring of creativity was a birth place of many future bands. A once in an eon phenomena
Unless you experienced the arrival of The Beatles you can barely imagine their impact. They not only changed music, they changed the world. They made rock'n'roll not just a fad but the music of a revolutionary view of reality.
I think it's a bit of a hyperbole to claim that the Beatles changed the world. The world is unchanged: people are still killing, stealing, cheating and polluting.
I’m a sixty four year old scouser and can remember sitting on my auntie’s wall waiting for the Beatles to go past back in the late sixties, eventually they came by in their black limo doing about 35 mph, I just got a glimpse of some faces wearing dark shades (don’t really remember who’s they were) but it was really exciting I was only about nine or ten years old 🤔
Change music? Absolutely. Change then world? Huh? And I don’t think you needed to experience their arrival to understand their impact. You’re way off with your comments, mate. 😉
The Beatles split the universe in two. Those who got it couldn't resist their gravitational pull. The rest of the world still lives in its drab part of the universe.
I totally agree. I feel sorry for the rolling stones when they say that they are a long lasting band and they are still performing. Even if they played for 100 years they wont. Do what the Beatles did in less than 10 years.
I'm 70 and have heard a lot of great music over the decades but I'll never tire of hearing and watching the Beatles. Every time I hear them there's always something new that I hadn't heard before.
My parents are almost 70 and I still love hearing them tell me stories about The Beatles. I feel like the grunge explosion was the closest thing my generation had to that time.
The greatest were humble enough not to try. The legendary Peter Green always spoke of the work of Clapton and Hendrix as being on a higher plane than his own. Today, every one of the world's most accomplished electric blues players would disagree - vehemently. RIP Greeny.
@@chriscoughlin9289 - I was in agreement right up to "every one." Typical exaggeration to make a point but an exaggeration all the same. How about, many, most or even nearly all?
'Typical exaggeration to make a point but an exaggeration all the same.' I was in agreement with you right up until 'typical.' My penchant for exaggeration about PG is entirely my own - and you yourself are exaggerating to say it resembles anyone else's. Especially since you don't know me from Adam. How about - my views on PG's talents 'resemble those of some other PG fans' you've encountered? I have to say I'm disappointed that an apparently fastidious person like yourself would be so sloppy, to be honest. Now - back to the music - and my larger point. MANY great artists - Greeny among them -have spoken about deriving their 'style' as a result of being failed copyists of their personal heroes. In essence, they found their own paths as much out of frustration as inspiration in the end. That's all.
I’m 71 years of age. Saw Beatles on their first American visit, like Wow! I am addicted to them, even now. No other band has eclipsed their genius. When John was murdered, I cried and cried.
I saw them at Hollywood Bowl in 1964. Unfortunately, the girls screamed so loud you couldn't hear any of the music throughout the entire show. And everyone in our section stood up the entire time, so we had to stand up also just to see them.
@@bradrathernotsay321 Yes thats one reason they stopped touring. Of course it wasn't planned to be forever. But at Shea stadium they couldn't hear themselves to perform properly. But hiw fortunate you saw them live. I grew up in 60s and 70s. What a time for music!!! American cars,Christmas specials, greag economy. We had the best back in those days. And its bittersweet now that im old. But I talk with my siblings what a great time to grow up!!!✌️🎸🎶👍☮️
I'm only 65, and though my tastes have expanded exponentially, I've never lost my love and enthusiasm for Messrs. Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr!
Well,actually,it was those who came before them that wrote the Ruck and Roll rule book. Bill Hailey and the Comets are credited with being the first true Rock and Roll band. Then came Buddy Holly,The Big Bopper,and on to the Beatles. And,you bet,..the Beatles are the number one Rock and Roll band in music history.
@@xScooterAZx Well, actually... we all know rock 'n' roll was "invented" before the Beatles: Chuck Berry, Little Richard, etc., etc. BUT, examine the Billboard Hot 100 list for the years 1961, 1962, 1963: there is LITERALLY, NO rock 'n' roll out of all 300 songs (ok, maybe 6). Rock 'n' roll exploded AFTER the Beatles.
@@xScooterAZx Yeah, the Impact The Beatles had is totally superior to the ones you mentioned (who are of course the base inspiración for The Beatles). It is what The Beatles did that makes them the greatest band in the world and the ones who actually took Rock and Roll and transformed it, made it so popular, made it evolve.
@@marielat.fuentes1090 It was those bands I mentioned made it possible for the Beatles to exist.You seem to believe that Rock and Roll wasnt a very big thing until they came along. This isnt true. Rock and Roll was created by American artists in the mid 50's. By those I mentioned in my other comment. We already had our radios filled with big Rock and Roll bands,and great songs way before the Beatles ever existed. It was already hugely popular. Perhaps not well known in Europe yet though.The Beatles did that. Also,they are only "one" of the greatest bands in the world. The Rolling Stones gave them a massive run for their money. Calling them "the greatest band in the world" is relative. Many people would disagree with you. I have my own preference for that title,but I've no need to mention who. :}
Same. The album Meet the Beatles was like $2.65 at a GROCERY STORE. Couldn't believe what I was hearing. Later got The Beatles' Second Album and that introduced me to Chuck Berry and Smoky Robinson, I still think George Harrison's Roll Over Beethoven is the best ever recorded. They played those early songs a million times in Germany until they dropped, they literally could have done all of them in their sleep. It was 1964, I was TEN, really didn't know any Elvis songs, faintly knew some Everly Brothers. Other than that my familiarity with music was Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer stuff. Went to see Hard Day's Night, was blown away. Have been a fanatic Beatlemaniac ever since. I look forward to hanging out with John and George in Heaven.
I LOVE the way they so easily trade off the lead in the second verse of "All My Lovin'. " THREE amazing lead vocalists in one band. The tighest, sharpest band that ever played - and just as tight LIVE! Remember everyone (especially you young 'uns), this was WAAY before any computerized mumbo jumbo, auto-tuning, pitch correction, - what they did is what you're hearing!!! And look at them! So incredibly beautiful and sexy and charming and personable. No one should wonder why they were/are the best and most popular band EVER. And, sadly, with the music "industry" now controlling and manipulating every aspect of what we hear, there will never be a group as talented and perfect as The Beatles.
It’s true. I once performed some Beatles songs unrehearsed and I actually instinctively knew how to sing every harmony line. It was surreal that it was all there from listening to the songs so often.
I'm 62, never lived a moment when I wasn't aware of the Beatles and their music. Rarely does a day pass where I don't either actively or passively listen to at least one song, so literally tens of thousands of times. I love all forms of music, but there is no one who comes close to what the Beatles represent artistically, socially, historically. And yes, this is the best recording of their best performance. To have been in Hamburg for one of their marathon sets in the early days would have been magic.
Wow. There is nothing I can write that could add to or enhance what you articulate here. The Universe was on its inexorable path through time and space. Then the Beatles occurred. the Universe split in two. You and I, my friend, and all those with open hearts and souls felt the gravitational pull of four lads from Liverpool. We had no choice but to follow the new Universe and its arc through life WITH THE BEATLES.
I agree, they were the best band ever, they truely changed the world. I;m glad the music has been in my life since I was a teen in the 80s, It helped me through alot of tragic events.. There is no one to compare them to. They were above them all IMO better then the Stones. I love Badfinger and Bee Gees also but the Beatles were the still in a class all their own.
@@larryhunter2026 Glad to hear you got emotional support through the Beatles. I did and still do. Hell, I Wanna Hold Your Hand still brings a smile to my face and joy to my heart. I don't indulge in the Beatles v. Stones tug-of-war. It's meaningless. It's like arguing Big Bang v. Supernova.
@@malcolmhein1858 I agree, they were all great . I love Jimi Hendrix and the Doors too but only one Beatles. but great to have lots of other music out there
@@wmh1953 Yip - I was born in 1951 - grew up with the Beatles. Ringo has been my HERO for over 60 years. HE is the reason I learnt drums and played semi-proffesionally for 15 years. Peace & Love Ringo . . . still going strong at 80, and travelling the world with his All Starr Band.& 💌Ringo.
I'm 73 years old now and I still feel the cheel they grave me when I heard them the first time on the radio when I was around 14 in my home at Guatemala City. The greatest banda ever.
I always started my homework at 6 PM. That was when the radio station that I could get that played rock 'n' roll music started to up their signal. I was in central Florida, but WQ a.m. was out of Miami. And every night at 6 PM they started out their show playing two Beatles songs in a row. I mean those were perfect days. And me on my little Underwood manual typewriter. Oh my God. Such fun. And of course I didn't discover Tom Petty and his incredible work until 2014. I'm a little slow. And I get such thrills listening to his work also. And people describing how much Tom Petty and the Beatles as some of these groups really meant to them when they were teenagers on into their adulthood. That's what really terrific music does. It carries you through and gives you some sense of community within your own life. So I guess that's it for the day. Blessings abound. Be safe. Be cool. Gail in central Florida Saturday, August 6, 2022. And after three years of managing to get all of my shots and stay away from crazy people, I managed to get Covid two days ago. So I'm into day 2 to the five day quarantine part. Besides feeling like I've been beat over the head with a 2 x 4 and existing on cream of tomato soup and rye bread, this gives me an opportunity to kick back even more and enjoy a lot of music with no guilt... and sleep...peace..
@@gailremp8389 I think you might like The Travelling Wilbury's where Tom Petty, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne of ELO and that other guy whose name evades me made two records with some sweet songs on them
@@gailremp8389 I was born in 66 and love this era of music but if you were a teen at that time it was the best time to live except if you were black or sent to Vietnam
Yeah, it's a shame concert technology was still in its infancy back then. Live Beatles with today's advanced microphones and speaker systems would have no doubt sounded astounding.
72 here ❤ love the Beatles, stones etc. so many memories pour out. I remember Christmas 1967 my brother & his new wife opened the doors to the car to leave after their wedding. Penny Lane was playing in the car and they jumped in, hugging and drove off. I watched for a long time. I always think of that day when I hear that song! My brother is now in heaven. Bittersweet ❤
I was a huge Beatles crazy teenager in the sixties.. I remember clearly thinking of what they would be like in 50 years and here it is. Still the very best.
10 songs performed in just over 24 minutes, in what is probably the tightest, rocking-est, most energetic set the world has ever known. Bookend this with the rooftop performance, less than 5 years later and the talent and vision is unbelievable. The Beatles will be giving joy and sending shivers down the spines of listeners 100 years from now and we were lucky enough to have shared this time and era with them.
Absolutely agreed. For those of us who lived during these amazing couple of decades, we are beyond blessed. Spoiled rotten and didn't even know it. We just jammed. ❤
What I wouldn't give to be able to go into a time machine and see this very concert live.. I mean it's recorded and we hear it but can you IMAGINE how this sounded live... The sonic onslaught would have been mind boggling! Being played live and to hear it immediately reproduced from there voices.. LIVE. Omg.. it's so unfair that time machines aren't a thing
Ikr, the Dreamcast was able to drink before me and I grew up hearing their stuff all the time. Still do, actually. Come Together plays on the radio all the time and so does Hard Day’s Night. Yellow Submarine was also one of the first films I ever watched, aside from shark tale and the live action Charlotte’s Web remake
Wonderful, timeless, it takes me back to my favourite year of 1963 when it really all kicked off. I was 19 years old then, so many fabulous memories of the music scene in the 1960s. If only we had time machines.
@@carlosmedrano4864 Millions of miles away those bands of yours, even if they lived two life times , they are diamond surrounded by an oasis of DROSS ! thats including Oasis and co.
I was just a dumb 10 year old when the Beatles invaded the USA and didn't really know what all the excitement was about . only that my older sister had over night turned insane and seemed possessed by some unseen force, that drove her to cover her walls with Beatles stuff and talk incessantly about "Paul" . i'm an old man now and my sister is gone, and i cherish every one of those those memories.
I am same age brother. I wore a crew-cut and wanted a Beatles "wig" and "Beatle Boots". That got flatly denied; imagine that.....and the rest of the Beatles story is some amazing history; that we have the pleasure of being a part of.
@@jackburton2431 What people do not appreciate was that the Beatles spawned an almighty industry of knockoff merchandise which the band had zero to do with but which harnessed their massive fanbase. You mentioned "Beatles wigs" which you could get - but for kids like me for just a few shillings you could get these blown plastic "wigs" that you could perch over your head and pretend you were John, Paul, George or Ringo. You would specify which one you wanted when you bought it. I can't remember which one I had - and it didn't last long - but for a while this kid was a Beatle. Not to mention all the phantasmagoria of other stuff that was created - especially decals (transfers). They were hot property in the early days. I so appreciate my older sister taking me to see "Help".
No one will ever be greater or write as many brilliant songs nor change the face of music, and the world, like these four brilliant young men did. Still the first vinyl lps on my turntable..... currently engrossed in their love songs album
So glad I saw this video, never saw it before. Ok so here is a "sentimental" experience I had about 9 months ago. I live in Bangkok, Thailand with my wife....at the malls they have these huge Guitar shops.....everything you want, Fender, Gibson, ESP, Dean, PRS, Gretsch etc.etc.etc. They also have a huge selection of "Vox" amps too...One day I went in there to look around, this young guy is hooked up to a Gretsch and to a Vox Amp. I do not speak fluent Thai....yet LOL! So my wife comes in, this kid is just playing some riffs etc. I said to my wife "Ask him if he can play any of The Beatles"? Not remotely thinking this kid knows who they are, he looks at me and says in perfect English " No problem sir" and starts playing " I Feel Fine" I about died....then he launched into "Drive my Car" He said to my wife in Thai " Ask your husband if he wants me to play any of The Rolling Stones"??? Oh my Buddah...he was rewarded with lunch from Subway from me and my wife. He was 15 years old...
THE BEST BEST of the BEST!!!! No band can ever , ever come close!!! I loved them from the first time I saw them on the Ed Sullivan show in February 1964!! Listening to them brings me so much joy!!
They were the best….however….with the exception of Brian Wilson. John, Paul, wrote their music George Martin arranged the music Brian Epstein managed the band Others produced the music. George Martin who knew the Beatles better then anyone said John and Paul were very good, but the one true genius was Brian Wilson Beachboys harmonies we’re second to none. Wilson wrote, arranged, managed produce etc. he did it all alone except for a few exceptions. Wilson’s music, Good Vibrations, God only Knows, etc was are more complex and arranged the. Any music the Beatles did. The Beatles Help song came AFTER the Beachboys Help Me Rhonda song. The Beatles Yesterday& Today album came AFTER the Beachboys Today album The Beatles Sgt. Peppers & Magical Mystery Tour albums came after Beachboys Today & Pet Sounds Albums. The Beatles always paid close attention to Brian Wilson.
No one can compare to this band in a million years they were/are the best of all time and wasn't even my era I'm a 70s girl, but still love the BEATLES !!!
I'm getting close to seventy and the Beatles still blow me away just as they did back in the 1960s, I still get the ole' goose bumps when I watch them play.
@@thegreencat9947 saw them live at the Finsbury park Astoria London 63 with my mum and family I'm 70 now, met Ringo and played a game of pool with him back in 78 at a party held by Victor Lownes Hugh Hefner's partner in Hertfordshire England great days and times we where lucky to live in such times
That's when it would snow in the wintertime, I'm talking 3-4 big snowstorms a year that you'd have the schooldays off for. There was nothing better than when the town siren would go off telling the town NO SCHOOL TODAY YEEHAW!!!!
They were, are and will always be amazing to watch and listen to. My great grandchildren will know who they are, even if they never hear a word about them from me.
I was 15 when the Beatles played the cow palace on Aug 31 1965. I was lucky to sneak into the backstage area , there i found the boys playing cards in a small trailer.I pretended to be the curtain monitor and would open and close the curtain for the acts, Sam the Sham and of course my heroes the Beatles. When they were playing, I stood behind the boys. When they finished there set , I held the curtain closed until I got to shake there hands. What a concert. The amount of jelly beans, stuff animals and non stop flash bulbs coming on stage was very cool.
No on-stage antics, no light show, no preaching from the stage, no pre-recording. Just playing their incredible songs. And love the respectful deep bows after each song. I'm glad the Beatles arrived when they did so we could enjoy them in their pure form.
@@terenceoneill3075 What they mean is that there are artists and bands that bore their concert audiences between songs by preaching a political or social view.
The Beatles spent thousands of hours playing music together. They knew each other so well and were super tight as a band. Beatles were the best band back then and still are today!
Some say differently but the vast majority of us consider The Beatles to be the greatest band of all time. And yet I still think they are UNDERRATED, if that’s possible.
I’m 70 now. This is without a doubt the best recorded performance of The Beatles I’ve seen. They stayed together as a performing group the perfect length of time. All things pass. This was a beautiful interruption
Back in December 1962 I was playing bass with Mike Dean and the Kinsmen and we played with the Beatles at Bedford. When they came on I couldn’t believe what I was listening to. We played with lots of top bands at the time but these guys completely knocked us out, they were the best. I’m 83 now but still have wonderful memories of that night
Wow
Love hearing that story! Thanks
Wow Alan...what a gift to share. Thank you.
Wow so cool man!!! Did you guys make any records?
Did the Louie Louie band steal your name?
I’m 74 and still love listening to the Beatles and I am from USSR
Мне 70 и я обожаю Битлов, да, я тоже из СССР!
Many people, especially narrow-minded Americans (I am American!), do not realize the effect that the Beatles had on transforming Russia and the influence they had on the good people across that beautiful country. Rock on raymack70. Stay young at heart.

Yep, me too! Loving this!
It is amazing how they surge in popularity again every few years. Right now it's the "Get Back" Disney video, and a new group of fans. In years to come, I wonder if someone will clean up this video and make it even better.
Younger people will never understand the impact they had on music, fashion, and mindsets.....................they changed the world....Ed Sullivan Show, my nose was pressed up against the tv screen..you had to be there in the beginning...........
I remember the joy and anticipation hearing brand new Beatle songs for the first time. I stared at John Lennon’s eyes on the cover photo of Rubber Soul and felt like he was looking back at me. Incredible time to be alive
It’s 2021 and we have Spotify, iTunes, etc to listen to thousands of other groups, yet I still rather watch the Beatles than anyone else. So, who’s watching in 2021!!!
Me. I saw them at Dodgers Stadium and those damn girls would not shut up ! But what I did hear was great.
😀👍✌
Still here, too
I’m almost 60 years old and have been a huge Beatles fan since receiving the red and blue double albums as a birthday gift in December of 1976. I’m still listening and watching and have no plans of stopping anytime soon. Beatles forever!!!
I saw them in Portland Oregon, August 22, 1965. There was nothing like it. It was amazing!
Espero que quien esté leyendo esto sepa que todos estamos juntos en esta vida y que nunca debemos rendirnos. Paz y amor para todos ustedes ❤
Is there anything more uplifting in this dreary, depressing world than listening to the timeless music of the Beatles ?
Yeah..."The Beatles " translated means....HAPPY!....
I saw a quote from a journalist commenting on their anthology release once years ago, which struck me; "they were the collective joy of the 20th century; having followed two world wars, a great global depression and a time of profound upheaval and change. They were the heat that melted a cold war. The ushers of a new way of thinking and celebrating life." A great way to describe this phenomenon.
Agreed
No.
Of course. Listening to Chic or Sister Sledge is way more uplifting.
Sixty years and counting and the Beatles are still hands-down The GREATEST Band in History.
@Nick Madness Stones? Yes, in terms of longevity but, in terms of originality, creativity, and impact on music and the world in general, it's not even close in my opinion.
@Nick Madness I agree! IF you like both bands for their unique qualities your better off I do not know how many verbal fights I have gotten into trying to choose one over another..
by far
@Nick Madness lmao the stones...they have like 3 good songs, TOP. The rest are all mediocre. Even the Beatles most mediocre songs are all Bangers
@Nick Madness The early stones were never in tune, sang flat in every live show, and were miserable. I do love their early recordings but compare 3 videos of the Beatles from 1964 or so to 3 videos of the Stones and then let us know. Even Mick Taylor said they were never in tune and sang bad and he quit in 5 years. Also, Beatles vocals and music is way more taxing than the Stones music
I can’t even imagine what is was like to have the privilege to see them perform live
It was beyond amazing! Saw them in Philadelphia at the football stadium! A bit hard to hear........with the girls screaming!!
Ikr…..I feel so fortunate to experience that time in music. It was so phenomenal. Everyday…on the radio, ….thats all we had other than records, AND ALL THE RADIO STATIONS would be playing the BEATLES ROUND THE CLOCK.. LOL. WILD.
After a long day working it made cooking and doing the dishes FUN!
They were so natural. Unbelievable talent. Easily the greatest band in history.

I love them since Im 11 years old. Now Im already 71.They are the best band ever.
I'm 76 and I've seen every major rock band in history, from the Cream, to the Doors, to the Beach Boys, to Jimi Hendrix, to Led Zeppelin, and trust me, this was the single best rock band in history, bar none. No other quartet was able to generate this kind of sustained excitement ever, and none ever will again.
.....NO, the beatles where certainly NOT the single best rock band in history, and certainly NOT LIVE !?!?!.....James Marshall Hendrix by 'A-Country-Mile' all day and every day, and it's not even close.....sustained excitement Woodstock 1969, Monterey 1967, Fillmore East 1969 -1970, etc. etc.....IF this concert in 1964 is the beatles best performance ever, then your in serious TROUBLE !!!.....
@@8TENASTER8IDS Jimmy Hendrix was not a rock band, nor would he have been doing what he was doing had it not been for The Beatles who smashed the mold making it possible for all the great bands to come.
@@kcmule .....the Jimi Hendrix Experience WAS a "Rock Band" blanket-head !?! producing 3 studio albums Jimi Hendrix, Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding, likewise Jimi Hendrix, Billy Cox and Buddy Miles as the Band Of Gypsys.....
The BEST by Far , they Did it all , just listen to Music from 62-63 , The Beatles , innovators they were iconic they were a cultural phenomenon. No other band in history ever did what they did just a fact you can’t duplicate it. God brought them together at the right time. Amen.
@@johnloguirato3486 .....yes BUT !!, where would their albums be WITHOUT George Martin as the record producer, arranger, composer, conductor, musician ?????.....
I was 13 when my father drove myself and my friend Kathy to the Beatles concert at the Boston Gardens.

That and Woodstock were 2 of my finest moments.
You had a pretty cool dad. 😎
Wow, lucky you and Kathy.

I'm 74 and seeing this has been a heartwarming pleasure.
I'm 70 and feel the same way. If you weren't around back then you can't imagine what Beatle Mania was like.
I'm 70 yrs old, watching this brings back sweet memories of a better time and music. Timeless
Im in my 60s i had 5 siblings only the youngest left. Butbmy older sister and i were so close. Her and older brother had a crazy love for music. Anywaywe used to talk about though getting old what generation had our music 🎶!! Beatles, elvis,kinks,the who, rolling stones, Dylan, Clapton, endless talent that carried into the 70s,80s. Even today. How fortunate we heard a brand new Beatles album for fist time. Beach boys. You understand. I miss my family and old friends being able to talk what great music we had. Music will never be the same. Our generation changed it forever. Peace olle friend!!🎶🎹☮️✌️👍😊
@@chiarawilliams4186 truly timeless.
I have never seen any comments area, without many DOWN thumbs. but here truth be told...not ONE down thumb, any ware!!! that my friends, speaks for itself. they were and still are unexplainable. just simple the best rock and roll band ever, there lyrics were ALWAYS about love, happiness, maybe a little loneliness, but never vulgar. never boring, never not understandable. rest in peace John, and George, thanks for the memories. youse were the GREATEST.
The down thumb feature has been disabled for a while now.
you need to write proper prose this is gibberish
@@kevinbray3529 Altered state of consciousness?
Truth was told!
Here I am back down the Beatles rabbit hole. Sorry, but you really had to be around back then appreciate what a phenomenon they were.
Not only the Beatles.....holds true for much of what the 60's experience was like. Just had to be there to personally experience it.
No I didn't have to be there to appreciate them
Not true. A reductive comment on the power of the Beatles phenomena
The subsequent generations of fans understand and appreciate very well.
@@inevski I agree with your comment about the Beatles. However, my own experiences are that you really had to be around during those times to fully appreciate the phenomenon that was happening all around. No book, no video nor any film will ever be able to capture the essence of those times.
@@jeanhansel5805 I don't even think this is true. I know people from those times who think of the Beatles like one famous group of the time. Others who dismiss them in favour of some dim rival. And I know two generations since who are absolutely immersed in everything they were and are. It's something like the difference between being a music lover and a consumer passively absorbing the trends of the time.
There are plenty of 60s teens and 20 somethings who never went to a live event nor cherish the Beatles to this day, even though they bought some records then.
So how would you know what it is to love the Beatles when you're born after the 60s and actually grew up as a young child on our parents' soon to be forgotten records. Only then to investigate their phenomena across a lifetime. You don't know. With more access to media than those days. You don't know how younger music lovers understand the Beatles.
Nobody will ever surpass the Beatles, in terms of musicality, innovation, consistent high quality song writing, and impact on the music industry at the time. The greatest group ever.
This will never come again ! A true gift to humanity.
Yes, nothing like it before or since. A true gift of joy to humanity. Pure joy!!
Too bad it didn't last longer.
Just like the ‘Mick’
Tears. Lost lives and loves.
I wouldn't go that far
The stars and planets were in some kind of special alignment.
George Harrison the unsung hero. Perfect vocal phrasing and intonation with Paul or John! And always the signature musical guitar parts and solos!!
you can hear his guitar louder in the mix in this recording than many of their other live recordings, it's fantastic
@@rrdream2400 The loudest guitar you hear is actually John's Rickenbacker. (Notice it cutout @ 13:50 when John's playing is interrupted)
@@sonoffantm who plays that amazing riff in She Loves You? It's a turn around, it comes in right before the vocal starts and happens again right before the 2nd verse. Always assumed that was George but now I'm not sure, it sounds more like John's Rick.
George never received the proper recognition for his guitar work with the Beatles or as a solo artist. He was always fantastic!
That’s John taking the solo on You Can’t Do That. Not that you can see it here-the TV director decided to show Paul and George instead, even though they weren’t singing.
All those years in Hamburg did not go to waste! The Beatles Forever! Still a fan at 72.
Too bad Ringo wasn't there.
The one and only “The Beatles.” I was only 14 years of age and l became an instant fan. My little sister was only 2 and she would clap her hands and sing to the tunes of “l wanna hold your hand” and “l love you yeah yeah yeah.” She had a mop head like the Beatles. I nicknamed her “Beatle” against my mother’s wishes. I would raise the volume on my radio and drove my mother crazy. She would say “you’re going to get deaf and your little sister.” I didn’t listen and they went on to become the greatest band in history. My little sister now she 62 is still called by her nickname “Beatle” by my mother’s family. Beatle mania will continue. I was the most fortunate teenager in the world to be born when they came out to the world.
I'm 70 and I miss those days so much. The world was crazy in a different way but the music of the 60's led by the Beatles was magical. I feel sorry for kids nowdays who think modern music is even music. The Beatles didn't have the technology they do now. They had to be really talented and great musicians.
No need to bring down modern music, there’s a lot of good music now. I’m 18 and appreciate the Beatles a lot but a lot of modern music is doing innovative things.
I idsagree. Rap and hip hop are just decadent and negative for the most part and all the kids listen to it.. There are some good songs that come out now and then but seems to be mostly country, western which I'm not a fan of. @@DeKevers
I agree too (I'm 75)..it was a great time and later on so much more..Flower Power etc.
The beatles and the sixtes were the greatest time to be alive today's music is rubbish
Having the Beatles and the Doors at the same time period was magical.
They sang in harmony. They stayed in tune despite the screams. They wrote their own songs. They were beautiful on stage, with their smiles and bows and little dancing movements. They were clearly enjoying themselves, and their love and affection for each other was obvious. They were like no other band before or since. Legendary.
Every single one of the Beatles will be remembered as a great guy and musician!
Paul has become my favorite because of his love for all creatures!
The bowing was so they could catch their breath. Amazing stamina & vocal cords.
Overrated band.

I remember the summer of 1966 as being the quote-unquote best summer of My life! Revolver had just come out and you could walk down the Ave here in the University District in Seattle in here all the tracks from that album playing up and down the street with the sun shining on my 11 year old head!❤
I was working a summer job as a fulltime landscaper for a doctor on Mona Lake in Norton Shores, MI. Didn't need a radio. Someone on the lake played Beatles albums all day long and, if you aren't aware, sound carries quite well over water. Ah, the memories.
I'm 71 and still feel that thrill I got in 1963 when I heard them for the first time. There have been so many great bands, but these guys were the best.
I raise my glass to John and George . . . much loved and sorely missed.

Definitely the best live version of the Beatles I’ve ever heard.
Right on !!! This one and “Live at the Washington Colliseum.” Also: Look-Up the “Fab Four” They are almost identical to the original Beatles..
No on-stage monitors, screaming fans, yet the vocals are on-key, the pocket is deep, the arrangements are tight. Amazing!
This vid is misleading. The audio has been cleaned up. I have a friend who then aged 17, attended one of their Australian concerts (Brisbane venue). We both still play guitar and I jam with him to this day. He reported to me that apart from beign able to say he was there as a nostalgic novelty, he may as well have saved his money. Given the amplification of the day, after the first 30 seconds, The Beatles couldn't be heard above the din of the girls unceasing screaming. Beatlemania as was, which just had to be experienced. No retelling quite captures their impact & the hysteria. Lennon confirmed this himself on several occasions, reporting their annoyance in not even being able to hear themselves above it.
@@theblytonian3906 The recording though should be coming off the board so it would not be much like they or the audience was hearing at a live performance. This video is indeed evidence they could pull it off live and tightly. Granted their later music was not meant to be played live and that not all went as well as this particular performance it is stunning historical evidence that they could indeed perform live this well..
To add. Their early albums were essentially live performances as they didn't use many if any overdubs etc.. hence they plugged in and played together and what you hear is what you get. Considering how quickly they recorded those early albums is testament. Their later stuff was more experimental and depended on studio magic to get the sound. But still undeniable talent. Just add the producer as a 5th member.
@@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306 Not dealing in 'what ifs', but as it was. I just gave you accurate testimonial evidence of what a live performance by them was like to experience first hand as reliably related to me by someone I've known for over almost 50 years.
That The Beatles were tight live derived of their grounding around the traps in the UK prior to their foundation developed by those grindingly long hours in Hamburg through their return to The Cavern and other venues around the UK until their subsequently presentation polish and promotion by Epstein is already well served by evidence prior to this.
No-one can challenge A. their raw talent, B. the alignment of the stars probability of the charismatic mix of those 4 individuals coming together in that place and time. Having lived the era with a basis of comparison since, no argument from me, The Beatles -as was, remain the act to follow & greatest band ever in my eyes since their initial chart success in late 1962.
@@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306 Don't forget the real 5th Beatle, Brian Epstein, no disrespect to Sir George Martin who might arguably hold position as 6th. Epstein was the glue, an undeniable fundamental factor in shaping their image, harnessing their talent productively, availing them of opportunity critical to their initial success and subsequent unprecedented rise of Beatlemania no one could have predicted. Even with all that talent, without him or the coincidence of the time was right, they may remained struggling also rans or a few hit wonders before fading into obscurity like so many other bands of the day. I'm certainly glad they didn't.
Love Lennon's raw grainy voice. It's a total opposite of McCartney's smooth voice. Together, they complement each other. Best songwriting duo in the history of rock and roll. George's voice is awesome and underrated too.
@Keith Kristi Paul had greater range and training. He was a choirboy, after all, but his was the screaming voice -- as well as the "lover voice". He and John were very competitive about who really understood rock and roll. And then there was George, who managed to find a miracle middle. Without Ringo's deceptively "uncomplex" drumming, always a bit "behind" the "Sound" wouldn't have been there. Again, a miracle.
What a knock on George and Ringo
@@harold3165 Didn't you read my post ? I said George's voice was underrated, which means he had a great voice too. As far as Ringo, he was a better drummer than singer, but this doesn't mean he can't sing.
Each of their voices is distinctive, even when they harmonize. I love hearing George’s perfect enunciation! Mmmm
Musically George's lead drove the band. Typically a compliment for an exceptional bass. George was the under-rated element of the band as he proved with a lot of the music he was forced to caned until he went solo.
The Beatles aren’t just a band like the others,they changed music and our culture forever .
even they knew that they didnt change music
they just put white faces on african american R&B
they were surprised when they became popular
When I was a kid they were like Gods.
@@thewkovacs316 Oh. I never met them, so I'll just have to take your word for it.
@@thewkovacs316dude you are lost lol
@@thewkovacs316 They certainly changed the world's perception of the supposed division between high brow and low brow composition.
To my knowledge, folks like Leonard Bernstein were not given to weighing in on the merits of the songbooks of Buddy Holly or Little Richard. Songs like 'For No One' and 'Eleanor Rigby' changed that.
Also from Revolver, I believe it might've been Al Kooper who suggested that without 'Got To Get You Into My Life' there would've been no Blood, Sweat and Tears or Chicago.
For better or worse? That's a separate question.
Legendary - seminal energy - the human condition - raw talent
John sounds incredible!!
What amazes me is that John can maintain that chain saw of a great voice without going hoarse. I've never heard another voice that sounds even remotely close to his. Paul's is really unique too. The grouping of those 4 guys and George Martin was truly a miraculous gift to us all.
Shhh Kurt Cobain! If you actually listen to lennon he hardly ever adds distortion
I was wondering if Paul was having difficulty with the placement of his mic. Like it seems like he had to keep moving to get at the right spot.
On Twist and shout he rips the voice like there’s no tomorrow.
Hardly? actually listen to the distortion he adds? @@ramiroescamilla7263
And Paul on long tall sally❤❤❤❤
John's raspy voice is just brilliant.
Obviously people remember their later studio stuff more these days as it's more listenable and relatable for a modern audience, but what's often forgotten is how the Beatles cut their teeth as an absolutely killer live band. By this point the core members had been playing together for 5+ years and had thousands of gigs under their belts. Their first two albums were also recorded in the 2-track era, so what you hear is pretty much the best live take. Being that good, that young, with that much charisma and their own songs. Simply unheard of at the time. They blew everyone away.
Mac O'Damear
I remember my grandma telling me she quit school to meet the Beatles in 62!
Agree 100%... their harmonies were so tight and they - especially Paul - look to be having so much fun!. Would have loved to have seen them in concert back in the day. If only time-traveling was possible... some day!
Well said!
Great comment. Love the Beatles. Awesome❤
A billion times better then anything before or since. The raw youthfull energy and charm combined with perfect timing and vocal performance is spite of the noise from the audience and the poor equipment is simply stunning! Timeless like Mozart! There is no better cure for depression then these four guys.

not poor equipment. Most is coveted today. but i get what youre saying and youre right.
@@Cracktune No stage monitors, no mixing boards. Imagine trying to sing and play an instrument when you can't hear the other band members, or yourself. From their perspective all they heard was screaming. Nobody today could pull that off.
''A billion times better than anything before or since.'' Gotta agree! They transcended mere pop groups. They were a phenomena coupled with the extraordinary times, which Dylan noted, were changing. No kidding!
The screaming was so loud yet The Beatles still cared to make their harmonies perfection! They were so professional and polished.

And I got to see them perform live...twice!
I saw them in Toronto in ‘64 and ‘65…I loved them in the 60’s…my kids loved them in the 80’s…my grandkids love them in the 2000’s….
The early mid 60s were amazing for music, my high school years. My best friend and I went to a great effort to see them at Red Rocks when they came to Denver...
As someone born in 86, they're still the best band ever. The sheer volume and cutting edge exploring of creativity was a birth place of many future bands. A once in an eon phenomena
❤YES BEST BAND EVER & FOREVER ❤
Unless you experienced the arrival of The Beatles you can barely imagine their impact. They not only changed music, they changed the world. They made rock'n'roll not just a fad but the music of a revolutionary view of reality.
I was just a kid but I remember after Ringo came on the scene you never saw ANYBODY hold sticks sideways except maybe Buddy Rich.
I think it's a bit of a hyperbole to claim that the Beatles changed the world. The world is unchanged: people are still killing, stealing, cheating and polluting.
True!
I’m a sixty four year old scouser and can remember sitting on my auntie’s wall waiting for the Beatles to go past back in the late sixties, eventually they came by in their black limo doing about 35 mph, I just got a glimpse of some faces wearing dark shades (don’t really remember who’s they were) but it was really exciting I was only about nine or ten years old 🤔
Change music? Absolutely. Change then world? Huh? And I don’t think you needed to experience their arrival to understand their impact. You’re way off with your comments, mate. 😉
they were magic and they still are
The Beatles split the universe in two. Those who got it couldn't resist their gravitational pull. The rest of the world still lives in its drab part of the universe.
Forever and always
There will NEVER BE another band that will ever come close to what the Beatles did for the music industry...
Imagina jon lenon
and for me.
Amen!!✌🏼💕
I totally agree. I feel sorry for the rolling stones when they say that they are a long lasting band and they are still performing. Even if they played for 100 years they wont. Do what the Beatles did in less than 10 years.
Wings?
I'm 70 and have heard a lot of great music over the decades but I'll never tire of hearing and watching the Beatles. Every time I hear them there's always something new that I hadn't heard before.
But at the same time they are totally reliable ….
My parents are almost 70 and I still love hearing them tell me stories about The Beatles. I feel like the grunge explosion was the closest thing my generation had to that time.
I'm 62and growing up my uncle would buy all Beatles records and listen all day ,and I know almost every one by heart,WOWthe greatest!!
Beatles in Heaven for eternity would be amazing.
Tom Petty said it best. There was the Beatles, and then there was everybody else.
Tom Petty said it well. So did others. "There's no outdoing The Beatles." Brian Wilson, founding member of the Beach Boys
The greatest were humble enough not to try.
The legendary Peter Green always spoke of the work of Clapton and Hendrix as being on a higher plane than his own.
Today, every one of the world's most accomplished electric blues players would disagree - vehemently.
RIP Greeny.
@@chriscoughlin9289 - I was in agreement right up to "every one." Typical exaggeration to make a point but an exaggeration all the same. How about, many, most or even nearly all?
'Typical exaggeration to make a point but an exaggeration all the same.'
I was in agreement with you right up until 'typical.'
My penchant for exaggeration about PG is entirely my own - and you yourself are exaggerating to say it resembles anyone else's.
Especially since you don't know me from Adam.
How about - my views on PG's talents 'resemble those of some other PG fans' you've encountered?
I have to say I'm disappointed that an apparently fastidious person like yourself would be so sloppy, to be honest.
Now - back to the music - and my larger point.
MANY great artists - Greeny among them -have spoken about deriving their 'style' as a result of being failed copyists of their personal heroes. In essence, they found their own paths as much out of frustration as inspiration in the end.
That's all.
@@chriscoughlin9289 - Words always, never, everyone, no one and similar absolutes are usually used erroneously.
Yes I’m 71 and still love listening to the Beatles they were the greatest. Makes me wanna dance ❤
They sound even better live, best band in history.
I’m 71 years of age. Saw Beatles on their first American visit, like Wow! I am addicted to them, even now. No other band has eclipsed their genius. When John was murdered, I cried and cried.
I saw them at Hollywood Bowl in 1964. Unfortunately, the girls screamed so loud you couldn't hear any of the music throughout the entire show. And everyone in our section stood up the entire time, so we had to stand up also just to see them.
@@bradrathernotsay321girls are good at spoiling things 😂
Yeah they are
@@bradrathernotsay321 Yes thats one reason they stopped touring. Of course it wasn't planned to be forever. But at Shea stadium they couldn't hear themselves to perform properly. But hiw fortunate you saw them live. I grew up in 60s and 70s. What a time for music!!! American cars,Christmas specials, greag economy. We had the best back in those days. And its bittersweet now that im old. But I talk with my siblings what a great time to grow up!!!✌️🎸🎶👍☮️
I'm 68 years old and never tire of hearing their early songs. Yeah, yeah, yeah!
I am 69, turning 70 May 2nd. and agree 110% with you Connie!
Totally agree. They're still gear.
70 on Sept 7th, still rock with them and their songs. All the best wishes to you, Connie!
@@dongfangzhijia Same sentiments, 70 on May 2, 2022.
I'm only 65, and though my tastes have expanded exponentially, I've never lost my love and enthusiasm for Messrs. Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr!
The greatest band in the world. Still listening in 2021. The Beatles are immortal. They wrote the rock and roll book.
Well,actually,it was those who came before them that wrote the Ruck and Roll rule book. Bill Hailey and the Comets are credited with being the first true Rock and Roll band. Then came Buddy Holly,The Big Bopper,and on to the Beatles.
And,you bet,..the Beatles are the number one Rock and Roll band in music history.
@@xScooterAZx Well, actually... we all know rock 'n' roll was "invented" before the Beatles: Chuck Berry, Little Richard, etc., etc. BUT, examine the Billboard Hot 100 list for the years 1961, 1962, 1963: there is LITERALLY, NO rock 'n' roll out of all 300 songs (ok, maybe 6). Rock 'n' roll exploded AFTER the Beatles.
Don’t Forget Elvis !!! And. Chuck Berry ! God Bless !
@@xScooterAZx Yeah, the Impact The Beatles had is totally superior to the ones you mentioned (who are of course the base inspiración for The Beatles). It is what The Beatles did that makes them the greatest band in the world and the ones who actually took Rock and Roll and transformed it, made it so popular, made it evolve.
@@marielat.fuentes1090 It was those bands I mentioned made it possible for the Beatles to exist.You seem to believe that Rock and Roll wasnt a very big thing until they came along. This isnt true. Rock and Roll was created by American artists in the mid 50's. By those I mentioned in my other comment. We already had our radios filled with big Rock and Roll bands,and great songs way before the Beatles ever existed.
It was already hugely popular. Perhaps not well known in Europe yet though.The Beatles did that. Also,they are only "one" of the greatest bands in the world. The Rolling Stones gave them a massive run for their money.
Calling them "the greatest band in the world" is relative. Many people would disagree with you.
I have my own preference for that title,but I've no need to mention who.
:}
It is simply amazing that these guys could have perfect harmonies and sound this good, when they could not even hear themselves!
I'm 72 and the first album I ever bought was Meet the Beatles... wow, what a wonderful time to be alive!
Ditto!!
Same. The album Meet the Beatles was like $2.65 at a GROCERY STORE. Couldn't believe what I was hearing. Later got The Beatles' Second Album and that introduced me to Chuck Berry and Smoky Robinson, I still think George Harrison's Roll Over Beethoven is the best ever recorded. They played those early songs a million times in Germany until they dropped, they literally could have done all of them in their sleep. It was 1964, I was TEN, really didn't know any Elvis songs, faintly knew some Everly Brothers. Other than that my familiarity with music was Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer stuff. Went to see Hard Day's Night, was blown away. Have been a fanatic Beatlemaniac ever since. I look forward to hanging out with John and George in Heaven.
Me too!
My first album also!
Still have my Meet the Beatles album at age 74.
I LOVE the way they so easily trade off the lead in the second verse of "All My Lovin'. " THREE amazing lead vocalists in one band. The tighest, sharpest band that ever played - and just as tight LIVE! Remember everyone (especially you young 'uns), this was WAAY before any computerized mumbo jumbo, auto-tuning, pitch correction, - what they did is what you're hearing!!! And look at them! So incredibly beautiful and sexy and charming and personable. No one should wonder why they were/are the best and most popular band EVER. And, sadly, with the music "industry" now controlling and manipulating every aspect of what we hear, there will never be a group as talented and perfect as The Beatles.
Life has many possibilities. Not even the very wise can see all ends.
Great comment Caroline. If I wasn’t a lot older than you I’d ask you to marry me! 👍👏
@@gjoinolywa5850 ahh, but maybe "wisdom" is not the essential requirement...
John Paul George and Ringo spells Beatles The best band I ever heard. Yeah Yeah yeah Oh Beatles
I love how much the Beatles enjoy themselves and still jam their buts off
Those harmonies and hooks are now embedded in the human DNA.
It’s true. I once performed some Beatles songs unrehearsed and I actually instinctively knew how to sing every harmony line. It was surreal that it was all there from listening to the songs so often.
Yes,they are truly embedded in ours!!
They are in my childhood D N A
Tim McKeown - Absolutely !!!!!! I was 16 in 1964... I am still 16 !!!
Thanks for your post !
@Kevin Michael
He sure did. He’s a master of the bass
I'm 62, never lived a moment when I wasn't aware of the Beatles and their music. Rarely does a day pass where I don't either actively or passively listen to at least one song, so literally tens of thousands of times. I love all forms of music, but there is no one who comes close to what the Beatles represent artistically, socially, historically. And yes, this is the best recording of their best performance. To have been in Hamburg for one of their marathon sets in the early days would have been magic.
Wow. There is nothing I can write that could add to or enhance what you articulate here. The Universe was on its inexorable path through time and space. Then the Beatles occurred. the Universe split in two. You and I, my friend, and all those with open hearts and souls felt the gravitational pull of four lads from Liverpool. We had no choice but to follow the new Universe and its arc through life WITH THE BEATLES.
😮k
I agree, they were the best band ever, they truely changed the world. I;m glad the music has been in my life since I was a teen in the 80s, It helped me through alot of tragic events.. There is no one to compare them to. They were above them all IMO better then the Stones. I love Badfinger and Bee Gees also but the Beatles were the still in a class all their own.
@@larryhunter2026 Glad to hear you got emotional support through the Beatles. I did and still do. Hell, I Wanna Hold Your Hand still brings a smile to my face and joy to my heart. I don't indulge in the Beatles v. Stones tug-of-war. It's meaningless. It's like arguing Big Bang v. Supernova.
@@malcolmhein1858 I agree, they were all great . I love Jimi Hendrix and the Doors too but only one Beatles. but great to have lots of other music out there
This is why anyone born in the 50’s fell in love with everything about the Beatles ! Still listen to them everyday !
This performance is incredible ❤
@@Simon-127i love reading this I was born in 58 and grew up listening to these legends.

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah I agree 100.00 percent. Born in 1952 and still love and listen to the Beatles
@@wmh1953 Yip - I was born in 1951 - grew up with the Beatles. Ringo has been my HERO for over 60 years. HE is the reason I learnt drums and played semi-proffesionally for 15 years. Peace & Love Ringo . . . still going strong at 80, and travelling the world with his All Starr Band.& 💌Ringo.
I'm 73 years old now and I still feel the cheel they grave me when I heard them the first time on the radio when I was around 14 in my home at Guatemala City. The greatest banda ever.
Been that long eh. Did you manage to reach when I am age 64 err74
I always started my homework at 6 PM. That was when the radio station that I could get that played rock 'n' roll music started to up their signal. I was in central Florida, but WQ a.m. was out of Miami. And every night at 6 PM they started out their show playing two Beatles songs in a row. I mean those were perfect days. And me on my little Underwood manual typewriter. Oh my God. Such fun. And of course I didn't discover Tom Petty and his incredible work until 2014. I'm a little slow. And I get such thrills listening to his work also. And people describing how much Tom Petty and the Beatles as some of these groups really meant to them when they were teenagers on into their adulthood. That's what really terrific music does. It carries you through and gives you some sense of community within your own life. So I guess that's it for the day. Blessings abound.
Be safe. Be cool. Gail in central Florida Saturday, August 6, 2022. And after three years of managing to get all of my shots and stay away from crazy people, I managed to get Covid two days ago. So I'm into day 2 to the five day quarantine part. Besides feeling like I've been beat over the head with a 2 x 4 and existing on cream of tomato soup and rye bread, this gives me an opportunity to kick back even more and enjoy a lot of music with no guilt... and sleep...peace..
@@gailremp8389 I think you might like The Travelling Wilbury's where Tom Petty, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne of ELO and that other guy whose name evades me made two records with some sweet songs on them
@@gailremp8389 I was born in 66 and love this era of music but if you were a teen at that time it was the best time to live except if you were black or sent to Vietnam
@@chrisgreene2623 Whoa !! you're missing Roy !!! Roy Orbison...
This is the cleanest sound of any Beatles live concert I've ever heard. Fantastic!
And there's the clearest picture.
Yeah, it's a shame concert technology was still in its infancy back then. Live Beatles with today's advanced microphones and speaker systems would have no doubt sounded astounding.
The sound and footage from the 1963 Royal Variety Performance are excellent.
You're right. Clean and tight.
This is clearly the best!!😁😁😁😁😁
72 years old in 2024- I never get tired of these videos. I have a "The Beatles" folder in my UA-cam collection
I'm even older than you and I still think the Beatles were incredible.
69 yrs old here..beatles always and forever...
I just turned 72 and remember listening to the Beatles at age 10. Music was everything back then.
72 here ❤ love the Beatles, stones etc. so many memories pour out. I remember Christmas 1967 my brother & his new wife opened the doors to the car to leave after their wedding. Penny Lane was playing in the car and they jumped in, hugging and drove off. I watched for a long time. I always think of that day when I hear that song! My brother is now in heaven. Bittersweet ❤
Iam with you cheers
The Beatles are still the very best group ever and their music still gives me tingles, I am 76 years old, thanks Dave.
Soooo, the spirit of 76 = young @ heart!
Love the Beatles but Stones kick ASS
I was a huge Beatles crazy teenager in the sixties.. I remember clearly thinking of what they would be like in 50 years and here it is. Still the very best.
Absolutely in agreement with you!!!👍
but we were only 16! woohoo!!
10 songs performed in just over 24 minutes, in what is probably the tightest, rocking-est, most energetic set the world has ever known.
Bookend this with the rooftop performance, less than 5 years later and the talent and vision is unbelievable.
The Beatles will be giving joy and sending shivers down the spines of listeners 100 years from now and we were lucky enough to have shared this time and era with them.
Absolutely agreed. For those of us who lived during these amazing couple of decades, we are beyond blessed. Spoiled rotten and didn't even know it. We just jammed. ❤
I feel lucky i was born in an era when they performed on tv along with the Stones in the early sixties!
You have never lied No band will ever top The Beatles.No other band can duplicate the thrill of it all!!
What I wouldn't give to be able to go into a time machine and see this very concert live.. I mean it's recorded and we hear it but can you IMAGINE how this sounded live... The sonic onslaught would have been mind boggling! Being played live and to hear it immediately reproduced from there voices.. LIVE. Omg.. it's so unfair that time machines aren't a thing
Ikr, the Dreamcast was able to drink before me and I grew up hearing their stuff all the time. Still do, actually. Come Together plays on the radio all the time and so does Hard Day’s Night. Yellow Submarine was also one of the first films I ever watched, aside from shark tale and the live action Charlotte’s Web remake
Wonderful, timeless, it takes me back to my favourite year of 1963 when it really all kicked off. I was 19 years old then, so many fabulous memories of the music scene in the 1960s. If only we had time machines.
One of God's greatest creations! The Beatles!
I don't think John would say God had anything to do with it.

All of them.
I was just a dumb 10 year old when the Beatles invaded the USA and didn't really know what all the excitement was about . only that my older sister had over night turned insane and seemed possessed by some unseen force, that drove her to cover her walls with Beatles stuff and talk incessantly about "Paul" . i'm an old man now and my sister is gone, and i cherish every one of those those memories.
Thanks for sharing this. I can tell you miss your sister but cherish the memories you both made together with The Beatles.
Awww! That's adorable. I'm glad you still have those memories! :D
I am same age brother. I wore a crew-cut and wanted a Beatles "wig" and "Beatle Boots". That got flatly denied; imagine that.....and the rest of the Beatles story is some amazing history; that we have the pleasure of being a part of.
Golden times. Fantastic
@@jackburton2431 What people do not appreciate was that the Beatles spawned an almighty industry of knockoff merchandise which the band had zero to do with but which harnessed their massive fanbase. You mentioned "Beatles wigs" which you could get - but for kids like me for just a few shillings you could get these blown plastic "wigs" that you could perch over your head and pretend you were John, Paul, George or Ringo. You would specify which one you wanted when you bought it. I can't remember which one I had - and it didn't last long - but for a while this kid was a Beatle. Not to mention all the phantasmagoria of other stuff that was created - especially decals (transfers). They were hot property in the early days. I so appreciate my older sister taking me to see "Help".
No one will ever be greater or write as many brilliant songs nor change the face of music, and the world, like these four brilliant young men did. Still the first vinyl lps on my turntable..... currently engrossed in their love songs album
All these years later, their brilliance still shines.
Shine On, George Harrison and John Lennon!!

MrUniman 609. Wonderful and true words. I loved your comment and I agree with you. !!!!
So glad I saw this video, never saw it before. Ok so here is a "sentimental" experience I had about 9 months ago. I live in Bangkok, Thailand with my wife....at the malls they have these huge Guitar shops.....everything you want, Fender, Gibson, ESP, Dean, PRS, Gretsch etc.etc.etc. They also have a huge selection of "Vox" amps too...One day I went in there to look around, this young guy is hooked up to a Gretsch and to a Vox Amp. I do not speak fluent Thai....yet LOL! So my wife comes in, this kid is just playing some riffs etc. I said to my wife "Ask him if he can play any of The Beatles"? Not remotely thinking this kid knows who they are, he looks at me and says in perfect English " No problem sir" and starts playing " I Feel Fine" I about died....then he launched into "Drive my Car" He said to my wife in Thai " Ask your husband if he wants me to play any of The Rolling Stones"??? Oh my Buddah...he was rewarded with lunch from Subway from me and my wife. He was 15 years old...
As bleak as some things are these days, a few Beatles tunes always brightens the day up.....timeless music.
Robert Braiden. I liked your comment..

THE BEST BEST of the BEST!!!! No band can ever , ever come close!!! I loved them from the first time I saw them on the Ed Sullivan show in February 1964!! Listening to them brings me so much joy!!
That was the night “The Brylcream came out of your hair.”
Everything Changed.
Everything.
I saw them on our black and white TV that night. It was history
I was 12 then. Now I'm 69 and listen to THE BEATLES STATION ON XM RADIO AND THEY STILL SOUND FRESH!!!
How lucky you are to have been so close to them! What an amazing trip! Carry that energy for the rest of your life!!!
They were the best….however….with the exception of Brian Wilson.
John, Paul, wrote their music
George Martin arranged the music
Brian Epstein managed the band
Others produced the music.
George Martin who knew the Beatles better then anyone said John and Paul were very good, but the one true genius was Brian Wilson
Beachboys harmonies we’re second to none.
Wilson wrote, arranged, managed produce etc. he did it all alone except for a few exceptions.
Wilson’s music, Good Vibrations, God only Knows, etc was are more complex and arranged the. Any music the Beatles did.
The Beatles Help song came AFTER the Beachboys Help Me Rhonda song.
The Beatles Yesterday& Today album came AFTER the Beachboys Today album
The Beatles Sgt. Peppers & Magical Mystery Tour albums came after Beachboys Today & Pet Sounds Albums.
The Beatles always paid close attention to Brian Wilson.
Wow, no monitors, no nothing but heart, soul and talent. Man could they swing. Two guitars, bass, drums and three voices. What else do you need?
Four voices. Don't forget Ringo. They all was the greatest, before, after and forever.
Monitors
a proper PA system for the audience to hear them
back then, there wernt any
Years of working in Germany and Britain honed their perfect pitch. NO such thing as auto tune like on just about every single thing on radio today.
Johns Guitering Amazing 🥲
Just plain raw talent! No keyboards or modern synthetic equipment.
No pitcher correction…I love raw, real voices….
But way too much of Paul. John wrote most of the great songs. The bastard was just better, and why people can see this is just hard to believe.
No one can compare to this band in a million years they were/are the best of all time and wasn't even my era I'm a 70s girl, but still love the BEATLES !!!
I'm getting close to seventy and the Beatles still blow me away just as they did back in the 1960s, I still get the ole' goose bumps when I watch them play.
I’m 17 and I feel the same way.
I'm '76 and I too feel the same way.
I'm 70 and saw then live Beatles Christmas show at the Finsbury park Astoria in London 63
Hey... I'm 72 and saw them at the Hollywood Bowl..
What a night..never leaves me.
@@thegreencat9947 saw them live at the Finsbury park Astoria London 63 with my mum and family I'm 70 now, met Ringo and played a game of pool with him back in 78 at a party held by Victor Lownes Hugh Hefner's partner in Hertfordshire England great days and times we where lucky to live in such times
John and Paul singing "She Loves You" takes me to my happy place.
I just love it when they share a mic. Their harmony was magical.
I love anytime they share a mic.
Out of songs of the last 100 years, it doesn't get much better than that.
Those days were the best, weren't they? I’ll never forget them.
That's when it would snow in the wintertime, I'm talking 3-4 big snowstorms a year that you'd have the schooldays off for. There was nothing better than when the town siren would go off telling the town NO SCHOOL TODAY YEEHAW!!!!
Such a tight band at the time. This really was the greatest show. The singing, guitar work..exceptional.
They were, are and will always be amazing to watch and listen to. My great grandchildren will know who they are, even if they never hear a word about them from me.
They are musical geniuses.
The talent they had was off the charts, completely unprecedented for a band
I feel bad for all that came and went before them because they never saw or heard them play and sing. A true gift to all of us
I loved the Beatles. It was only partially about the music.
I wanted hold your hand leaned hold your hand
Song the beetle I want to hold your hand

I was 15 when the Beatles played the cow palace on Aug 31 1965. I was lucky to sneak into the backstage area , there i found the boys playing cards in a small trailer.I pretended to be the curtain monitor and would open and close the curtain for the acts, Sam the Sham and of course my heroes the Beatles. When they were playing, I stood behind the boys. When they finished there set , I held the curtain closed until I got to shake there hands. What a concert.
The amount of jelly beans, stuff animals and non stop flash bulbs coming on stage was very cool.
Cow palace?

Happy , happy days. Now we have Joe Biden and his pals.
I get such a good feeling seeing the old black and white videos of 60’s Beatles.
No on-stage antics, no light show, no preaching from the stage, no pre-recording. Just playing their incredible songs. And love the respectful deep bows after each song. I'm glad the Beatles arrived when they did so we could enjoy them in their pure form.
Preaching from the stage? Are you talking religious leaders?
Think Pretenders.
I'm thinking the bowing was Brian's idea but just a guess.
@@terenceoneill3075 What they mean is that there are artists and bands that bore their concert audiences between songs by preaching a political or social view.
and sadly No one could hear them
over the screaming and crying teeny boppers in the audience
The Beatles spent thousands of hours playing music together.
They knew each other so well and were super tight as a band.
Beatles were the best band back then and still are today!
Until it wasn’t!!😢
Very true they learned there craft in Hamburg . And we’re good at it !😊☘️
It's INSANE how good this recording is. They absolutely nailed. Good grief.
Some say differently but the vast majority of us consider The Beatles to be the greatest band of all time. And yet I still think they are UNDERRATED, if that’s possible.
I totally agree!
Es cierto
Underrated?
With you.
Agree
You can't do that was one of their most highly underrated songs. It was fabulous.
YES! Watching that performance of ‘you cant do that’ had me mesmerised.. totally 😵💫🤩🫠
I’m 70 now. This is without a doubt the best recorded performance of The Beatles I’ve seen. They stayed together as a performing group the perfect length of time. All things pass. This was a beautiful interruption
Check out the 1964 NME performance as well!
The best always!!! difference universe we love you Beatles always then and now.
Cup of tea. Directly. The Beatles Rule ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
They Sounded as Good Live as they did on Record. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT.....
Absolutely insane.
