I saw the Beatles in concert when I was 15. I couldn’t hear them in the loud stadium with the nonstop screaming. I bought all their albums. I wish I could explain how incredibly different they were. I was a huge music fan with the radio on 24/7. 🤩
The Beatles had one of the most profound evolutions in musical style of any band ever - mirroring the cultural shift of those turbulent years.
This is them in their early-'60s bubblegum pop phase - and _The Ed Sullivan Show_ & its host are the perfect embodiment of what the mass culture looked like then.
With The Beatles more than most bands, I recommend *take each album in chronological order* so you can get a proper feel for how their music evolved.
Indeed, and it went along side bands such as the Beach Boys and Rolling Stones who had similar manners of evolution through the 60s.
The Beatles were never bubblegum. Tommy Roe was bubblegum. The Archies. The 1910 Fruitgum Company. The Ohio Express. Those were bubblegum. Not the Beatles.
"Well, she was just seventeen, you know what I mean, and the way she looked was way beyond compare." That opening verse is so simple, yet so powerful. Everyone who listens to it is free to form their own image.
Social norms in the early 60's were pretty much the same as they are now, but this song was written from the POV of a teen-ager, not a creepy older dude. Just pure "puppy love". I saw this live with my parents, I was about 5 years old at the time. The biggest thing to me was how loud the girls were screaming. A few years later, I started getting into the music. That made it all better.
It amazes how someone of MrLloyd age hasn't come across Beatles music. Once you discover them your life typically changes forever.
Paul began writing this song in 1962. It went through several changes with help from Lennon. But Paul began writing it about a girl he was dating at the time. She was 17 and Paul was 18. So the lyrics aren't that inappropriate when you realized he wrote this as a teenager singing about his teenage girlfriend. He can sing it at 98 and it will still be great! :)
As a child I used to divide history into two periods: before and after the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show in February 1964 (their first US appearance). The world was changed from that point in time.
Maybe in American history. For those of us living in the north of England, it happened a couple of years earlier :)
I think it was 3 yrs. after this masterpiece, Paul wrote an amazing jewel of a song, “For No One”. WOW!
AND then, “She’s Leaving” 4 yrs after. They were all bloody geniuses ❤️
"She's Leaving HOME" is the complete title, in case he wants to look it up and react to it.
I remember watching this live on tv! My parents were absolutely in shock about how long their hair was 😂😂😂☮️❤️🌻👵🏼
Yes, the fans were super young and so were the Beatles!! In this performance from February 1964, Paul was 21, Ringo and John were 23 and George was the youngest at just 20!
The age of consent in the UK has been 16 since 1885. Nothern Ireland passed a law in 1917 that raised it to 17 in the region, but was overturned in 2008. Plus, as you point out, the majority of their early fans were teenaged girls... and the member of the band who was 20 prior to their first recordings and tours was Ringo, and just barely. This is still very early Beatles. While this is great for pop-rock of that era, the really good stuff that so many hype up comes a couple of years later.
Ringo was the Oldest of the Beatles, Born July 7, 1940, when they recorded their first song "LOVE ME DO" was released in England on Oct 5, 1962, Ringo was 22 years old, Paul was 20 (born on June 18, 1942) John would turn 22, 4 days later on Oct. 9 (also born in 1940) and George was only 19 (born Feb, 25, 1943)
@@patticrichton1135 I am aware. Too bad that Love Me do was not their first actual recording. It was their first official EMI recording, but they'd cut several demos before then including one under the name the Beatals recorded in March 1960 featuring Stuart Sutcliffe on bass. They began touring the UK later that year as the Silver Beetles before finally settling on the Beatles name. I should also note, Ringo did not join the band until their third attempt at recording Love Me Do. The first session was recorded before Sutcliffe quit the band and Paul moved from guitar to bass. The second session still featured Pete Best on drums, but George Martin did not like Best's inability to keep a steady time. So, he brought in Ringo for what was supposed to just be re-recording of the drum track... but wound up leading to him replacing Best.
It wasn't about sex, it was about love and attraction. I hate the modern world.
@@ladyjane8855 Paul himself has said it's about sex.
That was January 1964; the beginning of Beatlemania and the end of old style rock n roll. I was 14 and every teen was glued to their TV.
Just imagine how badass they actually were....They playe and sang inkey and harmony in spite of the thousands of screaming teens...THEY COULD NOT HEAR THEMSELVES!!!! 😲😲
I was 9 when Beatlemania hit in 1964. Paul was 21. I thought being 17 sounded very exciting and really old! But I was a Beatles fan, forever after. Also, my mother was 17 when she married my father. He was 19. Teenagers behaving like young adults didn't seem so upsetting then.
You can definitely hear the Little Richard influence. Paul McCartney learned the "ooh" from Richard himself on backstage, during one of their tenures in Hamburg before the major breakthrough.
The screaming girls were a fixture and feature of every live performance the Beatles ever did. In fact, that’s one of the major reasons they stopped touring ( they couldn’t hear themselves). Their energy and charm combined with the infectious nature of their melodies, harmonies and musicianship was the recipe that made them the best band in history! 🌺✌️
For me, the song was always about a 17 year-old boy meeting a 17 year-old girl at the local dance... A hope that all 17 years-olds who have ever walked into a dance could relate to. To me, it was never about a 24 year-old Beatle being a predator. Not every song is biographical. Different times indeed.
Now they 'swipe right' and have sex. It was courting, hand-holding and affection back then. What a sad take on an innocent song.
@@ladyjane8855 You're painting with a pretty wide brush here.. I guarantee you there are plenty of awkward teens out there today.
George Harrison was only 21 in 1964....
plus he was only 20 when he wrote it. These are young guys. People need to relax when listening to lyrics, they picked the age because it sounds good in the song
When Ed Sullivan saw the crowds at London airport who were there to welcome the Beatles back from a tour in Germany he booked them. After returning to New York, he found that no one in the U.S. had ever heard of the band. His production staff set in motion and this was the result of that campaign.
1964 was the year, if I remember right.
2/9/64
Please do more Beatles. You'll really hear an evolution in their music. I listened to their music when I was a kid because my Mom did. She had all there albums. It was the sixties. Song recommendation for them? Um. "A Day in the Life" off their Sgt. Peppers album. And "Blackbird" off the White album.
"Blackbird" one of my favorites! Along with "Yesterday"! Oh also, check out "We can work it out". Has a nice tempo change back and forth.
I would love to see him do their hits chronologically. The change over time is very cool.
Trying to recommend a song or two to someone new to The Beatles is almost impossible 🤣 A day in the life might be a deep cut for a newbie. But to be fair the song is also among the few masterpieces of pop music.
I’m 32 and The Beatles were always and still are my favorite band and about 25-30% of ALL the music I listen to regularly.
The Greatest Band ever! Started playing drums in 64. Moved to Detroit. Started listening to Eric Clapton. Pick up a 57 Les Paul standard. 65.
I suspect that metering was the reason for using "17" in the song and not "18". Sing it to yourself both ways to see haha. When Sir Paul got the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song at the White House Jerry Seinfeld did a few minutes of comedy and called Paul out regarding "She was just 17". It was perfect. I think Paul blushed haha
And thus begins a musical journey. The Beatles are truly one of a kind. I look forward to seeing you react to more of The Beatles.
Paul McCartney was 19 when he wrote this so I think it's probably fine.
B side of I Wanna Hold Your Hand..Still have my 45 somewhere.
Sure. What did you write with 19? 😉
Plus age of consent in England is 16
Plus the song is written in past tense. So even if Paul sang it now, he’d still be talking about some time when he was at least relatively a kid himself. Look, there’s plenty of songs from classic rock about a grown man getting it on with a minor. This just isn’t one of them.
@@GrimReaper3131 See. That makes such a difference for the context of the song. I never heard that before but it rearranged the meaning of the tune for me. But you know.....the "He" in the song must be close to "Her" age:. They are in a public space together - dancing, holding hands - each other tight. I can't imagine He is old, gray haired, a patch over one eye, and his fly open twirling Her around a room. Good grief. Y'all serious 'bout a Beatles song not written in a serious moment as would some of their later 🤔🙄
Gotta remember that these guys were quite young themselves and all the teenage girls loved them! I was 15 in 1964 when I saw them live, and it most definitely was something special.
The Beatles were very young when they became famous and they had written this song years before. Rock n roll songs are stories. I always just pictured a high school dance.
The Beatle's main audience at the time were us high school kids, so age 17 was appropriate. Picture being at a school dance and the typical teenage infatuation and nervousness.
The age of consent was 16 in England and back in the sixties a lot of girls were married by the age of 17.
I was 9 at the time, and I couldn’t believe their sound.
The song was written in 63 and the guys were only 20-23 during this performance. Singing about teenage love was common.
Not quite. Paul wrote the lyrics in October of 1961, and they began playing it as part of their live set in early 1962. At the time of writing it, Paul was just 19. John had just turned 21 days before he began writing the guitar composition. There's actually a recording of it being aired on live radio across much of Europe in March of 1962. There is another recording of the song played much slower from the Cavern Club in January of 1961
It was February 1963 when they recorded it at EMI Studios for Capitol Records. It was the B-side of the I Want to Hold Your Hand single, and one of the 14 songs on Please Please Me... their first LP album.
@@Unlitedsoul Plus the age of consent in the UK is, and was at the time, 16 years old.
@@johnnhoj6749 Was 17 in Northern Ireland until 2008. This doesn't make the point of your answer less relevant in regards to the song, but just one of those technical corrections.
Paul still sings this song. Are we to assume he is singing about himself at near 80, going after a 17 year old girl, or is he singing about how he met his wife, now near 80 too. Back in the '60s, teenagers could date teenagers.
I saw this on TV at the time, they were awesome!
I'm glad you enjoyed this, since the beatles where around long enough to go through several evolutions of rock music, a lot of people like to bash on their early songs due to how hokey they sounded not realizing that was what rock sounded like at the time
It wasn't even about being around 'long enough' with The Beatles, the band only lasted 8 years, but they were the ones evolving rock music with pretty much every album.
Very right, furthermore when those early Beatles records came out they made everything that had come before them sound really old-fashioned.
Hey Jude was the first song to break the 6min radio mark... The arrangement is perfect, building upon itself, Check it out...
"Tomorrow Never Knows"
The evolution of their sound over those years is remarkable and the "Revolver" album changed the music world even if it is not as acclaimed "Sgt Peppers".
Seeing this live as a kid is what drove my father to become a musician.
I love the Beatles. And if I want to witness a re-creation of their music and performances, I go to "The Fab Four", and enjoy. They do a great version of this song and scores of others. They still perform live, and one day I want to go see them.
I seem to remember a comment about the screaming: these guys couldn’t hear themselves playing, there were no monitors on stage and they’re still able to perform with that kind of energy.
He was 17 also...Holy Moly!
This was the very dawn of their career. It was called Beatle-mania.That they matured into Hey Jude and their other great works is remarkable
They have a lot of #1's. "Yesterday" is a real standout.
About the noise of the audience… My grandfather credited the surrounding Beatle fans, for his hearing loss, when he took my older brother to see Hard Days Night, at the local movie theater, circa mid 1960’s
This clip is from The Ed Sullivan Show, original broadcast date February 9, 1964 -- the night most of the USA first met The Beatles -- the night that changed the world! The oldest member of the group was Ringo Starr (drums), who was only 23 on that great night. George Harrison, the youngest, wasn't yet 21, so their singing about a 17-yr-old was never an issue. Also, John Lennon & Paul McCartney were writing songs together by the time they were 15. If you can, listen to The Beatles in chronological order. It's a wonderfully entertaining path to follow, & the best way to fully appreciate their ascent from young teens to top of the heap of musical legends. The way they progressed musically from 1964-1970, when they broke up, & the many varying styles of song are truly something to behold. Then one day you'll know -- pick almost any genre of music & there's probably a Beatles song that fits perfectly.
It's been years since I've listened to their first album, Meet The Beatles. My brother bought it for me as a birthday present.
😍😍😍
I watched this with my friends at the next door neighbors house when it first aired. We were sitting on the living room floor while our parents perched on the couches & chairs behind us. Without the over choice offered in today's entertainment world, everybody at school talked about nothing except the Beatles and the Ed Sullivan Show the next day. Our parents? Dad stood up and said "That's not music" and they turned off the t.v. and put a Nat King Cole record on the turn table and played pinochle for the rest of the evening. Us girls? We couldn't shut up talking about which Beatle was our favorite. :D It's not like you could rewind it and watch it again back then.
They weren’t much older themselves, and this song was written when they were even younger. I think George joined the band at age 15.
You’d never think that one of those guys would be the most successful musician in the history of the world. The list of people who wrote hit songs from the 1950s - 2020s includes Paul McCartney and that’s it. Plus he was the first billionaire musician thanks to his business savvy.
Fun story: My aunt saw The Beatles on the first US tour in Detroit, the had an afternoon show and a night show, she had tickets for the afternoon. After her show was over she decided she had to see them again, so she and her friend hid in the venue until the night show. They were able to hear a song or two before security got them.
LOVE that!! My friend was at that Detroit concert, but I didn't know her then. I didn't meet her until Paul's 1989 show in Detroit when she was in the row in front of me and we started talking. I saw the Beatles in Cleveland on Sept 15, 1964 when I was 17 and again in Cleveland on Aug 14, 1966.
Feb 11th, 1964, an editor named Paul Jones wrote a scathing review of the Beatles when they appeared on the Ed Sullivan show. Boy, did he miss the mark. :D
Yes, but the girls had the final say. 😏
Going from Elvis to The Beatles-earth shattering! I remember it like it was yesterday and I was only six! One did not miss the Ed Sullivan Show on Sunday nights. Ever. So America was exposed to Beatlemania all in one fell swoop. What a time to be alive!
This was the first Beatles song I ever heard. In my house it was all country all the time, but my friend Kathy had 5 older brothers and sisters and one of them had the album this is on. We listened to it over and over and over. This was around 1968, a few years after it came out. Quite the game changer for 6 year old me :)
More Beatles please ❤ 💙
so many early rock & roll and rhythm & blues songs use the "sweet sixteen" trope and it definitely hits differently nowadays than it did back then
Here's one that should be next for you...'Yer Blues'.
That way you get to hear both ends of the spectrum. What a concept!
I saw the Beatles in Minneapolis when I was in 6th grade. They were in the middle of a football field, outside of course. You couldn’t hear any of the music. It was awesome and one of my best memories. LOL!
They were pretty young. I got married when I was 17, and my husband was 20 1/2 years old. I was in the last semester of my senior year in high school, and he was in the army and scheduled to go to Vietnam in 5 months; we married 53 years ago this month. That love endures. It was definitely a different time.
This performance on Ed Sullivan almost over night killed folk music and changed the sound of rock in the U.S.
My favorite Beatles song
You know, I have to say this and please do not take it as disrespect: it is so interesting to watch someone view something as though he were an alien, totally unaware of the impact of what he is watching and simply experiencing it, no preconceived notions or expectations. Just an observer. It is both refreshing and intensely weird to encounter. As always, fantastic job Mr. Boyd.
@ColonialBuckeye Indeed. It is slightly frustrating that he seems to have no true understanding, despite being an obviously perceptive and clever individual. So much of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s were really dark music veiled by upbeat and light-hearted tempos, melodies, and rhythms.
I can’t believe you are JUST NOW checking out The Beatles!!!!!
You should listen to Yesterday,,by the Beatles,,, great song,,
Video threw me for a minute, seeing Paul on stage Left playing Right handed bass with John and George playing LEFT handed! Then realized the video was reversed.
I can't belive you've never heard this before. The Beatles are the bedrock of most of today's music. Yes, they took inspiration from those before them (Elvis, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, etc....), but then they took it further than even they thought they could.
I read a remark that Paul made ,after they had split and formed separate careers .He said that he always thought of them as `just a good little R&B band`.
The lyrics in this song are all written in the past tense. Listen to it again. So, a man in his 20's singing about his first love, or any past love for that matter is totally appropriate. Great song. I was 4 years old when this song came out, and I remember my 13 year old sister playing Beatles music on the record player, over and over.
It was great to be a teenager in 1964. More innocence and more fun! And this was just a fun song for me at 17.
Poetry to music. Timeless!
Hey MrLboyd. I love you cadence in your reviews. Easy listening. Great reviews. Also, The Beatles are #1.
On my running playlist.. (and sing along to it as I run.. not hearing myself) still gives off this energy
The Beatles are the best band ever
This is my favorite band of all time, my favorite song of theirs is Maxwells silver hammer but honestly almost everything they put out is reaction worthy, if I had to pick what to focus though try the Sargent peppers lonely hearts club band album and any album past that
Maxwells Silver Hammer makes me laugh every time I hear it! So good
I watched that night when it was broadcast live on the Ed Sullivan Show. That makes me 👵🏻!
One of my favorites is Helter Skelter. Note that it's at the opposite end of the spectrum.
This one is in the top three of my favorite Beatle tunes.
The influence of this group during their Sullivan appearance can't be overstated. Three young men playing guitars and singing in harmony had an impact on 73 million people who watched the show.
I just saw The Beatles and liked it.
Different mindsets back then, so I guess Ringo’s cover of “ Your 16 your beautiful and your mine” must be ultra pervy nowadays!
Dr. Hook did "Only Sixteen". It's a great song.
Please do "If I Fell". That song is God damn smooth. Must try if you react to The Beatles
There were many songs about 'sweet 16' at the time. But here we have one who is 17, which signals experience--hammered home by the wink in the line ('you know what I mean!').
I would definitely recommend listening to them album by album to see their evolution, but if I were to recommend individual songs, I’d say: Strawberry Fields Forever, Blackbird, Yesterday, Help, Yellow Submarine, Eleanor Rigby, and While My Guitar Gently Weeps
It was different times. My first wife was 17 when we got married. I was 20. LOL We were married 20 years and raised three kids.
The age of consent in the UK is 16 and also the Beatles themselves are VERY young at this stage as this is an early one.
He probably was only about 17 or so when he wrote the song they had written many of their early songs before they were famous
i watched this live on the Ed SULLIVAN Show. Blast from the past!!!
Love at first sight!
the age of consent in the UK is and was 16. The Beatles learned how to be a great, tight rock band playing night after night in Hamberg, Germany. Then they wrote perfect little gems of rock songs. After that, they started to experiment. Sound equipment wasn't up to the job back then, not for a few years, so they gave up performing live and went back to the studio, and so we got the albums that introduced new forms of music, and experiments in sound as 8 track recording became possible. And at the same time in the US, Brian Wilson gave up touring with the Beach Boys and went back to the studio. Both started new ways of recording, new ways of thinking about music.
Paul was only 20 when he wrote this, and he was partly inspired by an English folk song called "Seventeen Come Sunday". It does come across as two teens falling in love, and I'm pretty sure this was the vibe he was after, but at the time it was perfectly fine in England for a 20 year old to date a 17 year old.
PS The "you now what I mean" part was John's contribution to the song.
I started going to a local youth club aged 13 in the late 1950s, this music was amazing at the time, the girls all danced together most of the time and the boys looked on. They were trying to look like Elvis and we had cinched in waists and masses of multi-coloured stiff petticaots under our skirts, it was innocent at that age, no phones, not even house phones, we wrote letters and walked home holding hands and couldn't wait to be 17!!!
Please react to more Beatles songs
I'm glad you discovered them. This is one of their earlier songs. If you want to see something really amazing, watch the Disney documentary, Get Back. It was filmed by an independent person and his team at the end of the Beatles. And it is interesting in many ways. John plays a six string bass on several songs. Eric Clapton plans guitar, which is not shown, on While my guitar Gently Weeps. They bring one of their long time friends Billy Preston in to add his own style for organ and piano. But the biggest thing is four things. One watching them create the songs in real time. Two, watching them in virtually real time around four weeks write and produce two albums with so many hits on them. Watching their last live performance on the roof of Apple Studios. And finally watching them at the end of the Beatles.
LOL, i was hearing this song and i find this video :))
I watched Ed Sullivan with my family every Sunday night, especially those magical Sundays in February 1964. The whole country was still in shock and mourning for President Kennedy. Then The Beatles appeared. To say they were a cultural phenomena would be a huge understatement. I can see their influence in a million songs and a million thoughts. They were very young here, cleaned up a good deal from their Liverpool and Hamburg days. They brought an innocent energy and good nature back to us. At least that was my experience.
Nice reaction but as a well intended bit of advice: It is always a mistake to apply contemporary morals, values, ethics, etc. to other times, other places and other people, period.
The screaming during beatles performances are part of the reason they stopped doing live shows, they couldn't even hear themselves playing so what was the point is what they thought
You have to remember that the Beatles were in their early 20s when the sang this song on Ed Sullivan. George Harrison was 20 or 21. Also in England 17 was the age of consent for young girls. So them singing about a 17 year old was not out of line for them.
I can totally see how the young people back in thoes times loved this.Wasn't much out like this.Im pretty sure don't quote me that electric guitar was still sorta new.
My parents married in 1955. At the time, my Father was 19, and my Mother was 15. To hear them tell it, that was just the way it was. They said it wasn't until the '70's that the prevailing attitudes started shifting to where girls were off limits until the age of 18 or so.
How have you attained your age and not heard this song until this moment? Wow
the song came out 24 years before i was born.
@@MrLboydReacts I understand that, but you have to know that there are teenagers now and CHILDREN who know a lot about the Beatles AND their music. there are 3 huge 3 day long Beatles conventions that are held every year in NYC, Chicago and LA, that have been held since the early 1970s. I have been to some of the Chicago ones (it used to be called "BEATLEFEST" but now they call it "THE FEST FOR BEATLES ' FANS) and there were more people there that weren't born yet when the Beatles were at their peak, or were babies or very very young at the time, than there were people like me who WERE teenagers or young kids when the Beatles came along (we are called "First Generation Fans") It was ALL ages at these conventions. These young people loved hearing those of us who experienced the Beatles first hand and what it was like for us. They knew so much about them and loved their music and really didn't like the music that was popular with others in their generation.

I have followed you for a long time and respect your opinions as you know a lot about music. However, you seem woefully unaware of who The Beatles are. Over 8 years recorded over 200 songs, 20 #1 hits, 35 top 10 hits and many more in the top 100. They changed music and culture forever. The rock and pop songs since the 60's evolved from the innovations of The Fab Four. The Beatles appealed to more than just young teenage girls. By the time they disbanded in 1970 every age group from babies to grannies loved them.
THANK YOU
Teen dance, when you looked across the room and caught each other’s eyes. First “love” not necessarily an always love. Lots of hand holding.
It was a simpler, sweeter time. Glad l grew up back then. Now, people have such tendencies to jump to conclusions and think the worst, and then label others. 😔
To put age into perspective, The Beatles created a legacy and broke up all before they were 30 in 1969/‘70.
Can you imagine changing the world forever in your 20s?
It’s mind-blowing!
Back in the day at school dances you picked numbers at that was the rotation on the girls you would dance with.
The Beatles were as great as their reputation suggests, but there were also some amazing covers of their songs. Paul is imitating a lot of Little Richard's vocal style here; you should check out Little Richard's cover of this song. Little Richard does the absolute best Little Richard.
My wife was 17 when I met her , I was 24 lol
50's-60's pop music was geared towards the teenaged crowd. Huge names toured and played small venues. A lot of the lyrics sound creepy now, but they made money catering to the dreaming teen girls who wanted to fall in love and marry....and the teen boys who needed to know what girls wanted to hear. 😉🤣
