Dont let me down, a day in the life, come together, here comes the sun, ticket to ride
A day in the life
hey jude
Ringo for his sense of humour and drumming abilities I've re-discovered Paul's songs e.g. Balckbird which I've discovered recently isn't about a bird but human rights of the black people. On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Her courageous act of protest was considered the spark that ignited the Civil Rights movement and possibly inspired Paul to write the song. How can we choose which Beatle we like the most it's a ridiculous qujestion.
Todas!🤗
Harrison had such a great sense of humor 🤣
Rest in powerful peace George Harrison 🙏

@@zovalentine7305 agree with you ZO
He's a Brit,,, what else?
@@nedsheridan3074 makes sense govna 😆
He could be diplomatic while hiding his disdain for John and Yoko's narcissism.
George immediately standing up from the chair after Dick said "Yoko sat in that chair" always cracks me up 😂😂😂
At the same time he clearly says in this interview that Yoko didn't break up the Beatles. Obviously it was a joke on Cavett who he knew would bring up the subject and a mocking gesture toward the public faction accusing her.
@@Light-Shift It was no joke. He couldn't stand her.
@@rman52 bullshit
@@rman52 for one thing hate was not something George phanthomed
@@Newfoundmike I didn't say hate. I said he couldn't stand her. Like most sane folks. Same feelings he had for John. Which unfortunately left them unreconciled when John passed.
Let's be real: although George Harrison's critique on American television still stands, Dick Cavett did a remarkable job with his show. Great interviewer, and great guests!
Totally agree. We need more Cavetts, fewer Fallons and Poviches and God knows what else.
John said he quite liked American TV. Matter of taste
@@slide4180 More? More like once more. A time when being smart was not death in the ratings.
@@JonahNelson7 as a Canadian with British grand parents , I was born in 1961 and grew up on American tv. We always preferred it cause it was ‘Shinier ‘ more ‘showy’ and ‘loud and in yer face’ compared to the mundane fare on Canadian tv (and I assume the BBC). It wasn’t until I got older and realized that the real difference was that most Canadian tv was like PBS and most American shows tried to dazzle. And there’s beauty in both. He’ll I grew up watching the Flintstones , Beverly Hillbilles , Hogans Heroes and The Bugs Bunny Road Runner Hour. The US had some good stuff before my era like the Twilight Zone and Kraft Mystery Theatre some pretty avangard stuff compared to the aforementioned. The ability was always there though the ratings were the determinating factor.
@@johngore7744 that's what I've heard. I wonder why, perhaps lack of government regulation caused a slight improvement in the beginning which eventually exponentially improved it because it attracted more talent?
I'm 81 years young, and born 2 months after John, what a tragedy to have lost such a talented man.
...dont mock Jesus like he did!
@@robd1329 the bigger than Jesus fiasco when he was a Beatle, was taken totally out of context. He was probably killed by the US government for his anti war and peace movement, especially with young ones. How we need the mantra GIVE PEACE A CHANCE in this sick world we live in. Stay safe during this virus crisis bye from Australia.
@@robd1329 he wasn't really mocking Jesus. He was mocking the youth culture.
@@allencollins6031 you must not even be a beatles fan. He clearly said 'were bigger than Jesus and christianity will go away'.
@@robd1329 I just dont think he meant any malice. That's all.
George was my favorite Beatle and had such a beautiful voice. Rest in peace George.
Hello pretty how are you ?
E o John. 🤗
George promoting John and Yoko's new album made me happy in an indescribable way.
That was super sweet of him. 😌
I think he probably wanted the message of the song out too.
@@globalheartwarming What a beautiful thought you shared with us. Thanks, Ellen. It is a wonderful song
@@PeaceCommando I've written two replies that don't appear. I was pointing to a photo of George holding up a WAR IS OVER! poster for a benefit he was in with John and Yoko in 1969. He was on Cavett in 1972. You can find it if you search (if you want it). I was aware of the billboard and poster campaign at the time but not that show.
@@globalheartwarming hmmm ..thanks Ellen. I'll try to search for them on this thread.
Cavett is a class act when it comes to being a host. Never any fake obliviousness, no over the top idiocy. A purely smart and intelligent personality
It is quite incredible how he does not interrupt his guests, you just do not see that anymore.
I enjoy watching The Graham Norton Show for that same reason
Great point, everyone watches for the Beatles but this was great journalism in a fun and humble sense
George was the most in need of the split… he was such a stifled talent. His first solo album wiped the floor with the others.
Too funny. George had about five decent songs in his entire career.
George wrote some of the best Beatles songs you donut.
From something to while my guitar gently weeps he wrote and made some of the most impactful Beatles songs. I do not know why people don't give him credit for this.
@@applesaus395 I do and did give him credit for My Guitar Gently Weeps, as well as the other four songs he wrote that were good. My Sweet Lord, Something... and a couple of others (e.g., Here Comes the Sun). Beyond that, everyone has there own taste you meatball.
@@justlina2769 maybe you need to listen to it, then comment.
@@balke7935 I did. I stand by my opinion.
George was such a sweet, funny soul.
George's interview is one of the best interviews I've ever seen...It was full of great humor... George was reluctant at first but Dick Cavett made him comfortable and did a great job...I sometimes watch the full interview for refreshment ❤️
TOTALLY AGREE I COULD LISTEN ALL DAY
Dick Cavett was the best talk show host of all time.
..yes a civilised time....very ...European in spirit !!!!
I watch this when I was six years old and even at that age I was amazed. The week John Lennon and Yoko Ono spent on Dick Cavett is one of my fondest childhood memories
@@Chilliam13 you are 500% right! i loved the relationship that he had with janis joplin. she was on his show 3 times. they were so comfortable together. try to see the interviews if you haven't already. hello from vancouver, canada... :)
I could watch Lennon interviews all day. Just brings a smile to my face
He was always so real & insightful. No bullshit.
I nearly fell off my chair when he said at the start he was nervous. The brutal honesty of all The Beatles was so refreshing.
..yeah but they werent all that honest ...as they didnt write the compositions ..just put the words on top ....!
I hate how he let Yoko sit closer to the host in the first clip. Nobody's here for Yoko.
@@krishnan-resurrection714 lies
The ending left an impression on me. John's rationale for why people take drugs makes great sense and it's very simple, yet I never thought of it this way. To paraphrase, "..our lives are so pressurized that we can't live our lives without guarding ourselves from it". Even at 70, I can still learn things from John.
John: "I don't want to be singing 'She loves you' when I'm 50".
Paul: Singing at 78...
80 today
I'm sure he would be if he was still around. John was always a hypocrite.
🤣🤣🤣
I love these interviews, they're so much more natural and less scripted than other talk shows. I love awkward silences and moments
I agree. It shows the true human side.
I agree as well. We’ve lost a lot of things in society but a major loss is simplicity and rawness. Every thing is over the top now.
Love how George promotes John's new work even though he had limited space on Beatles albums, the world discovered what a remarkable talent he was as a solo artist. Aside from that, the songs he did write and perform with the Beatles were amazing as well. "Something" is considered one of the greatest love songs of the century for instance. It ranks in the top 10 for Beatles songs and they had over 200 of them. My favorite by George as a Beatle is "It's All too Much".
Frank Sinatra said Something was one of the greatest love songs ever written, then spoilt it all by saying it was one of Lennon-McCartney's best.
I love something!
Watch craig Ferguson then you will love him
From this we can see that the Beatles wanted to break up, give themselves an open try to do what they really wanted to do. No harsh feelings. Just musicians want to create their own music for their own satisfaction.
Bright lads. I am loving John and George more for this.
With Get Back and all the sudden tsunami of Beatles footage on youtube, you really grasp how different these four men's personalities were from each other, but when they were together this added up to something so much more, complementing each other's talents- even as it must have been a corrosive element to their continued togetherness.
The algorithm learns quickly
Yes
It was their love of rock n roll and sense of humor that bonded them together. And of course, all four believed that all we needed "most" is peace and love!
They were all males from Liverpool and there was less than 3 years between them, all had dark straight hair, all musically talented, all men of peace, all became vegetarians, all became rich, all hetrosexuals, all married more than once, all tried drugs, all lived in the south east of England at some stage, all smoked at one stage, all had offsprings, all roughly 5' 10'' tall [apart from little Ringo]
@@bigtwit799 Paul might not have married more than once if Linda had lived.
Miss hearing George's voice. Such a loving, caring, incredible human and musician! ❤
I friend of mine whose stepdad was a childhood and teenage friend with George (they were nextdoor neighbours), always said he witty, smart and a really nice bloke. I loved listening to his stories about the Beatles in those early days
In which house, Speke, Mackets Lane, or Wavertree? regards.
@@stormytempest6521 that I’m not really sure. But John said he used to go to Pete’s mother’s place when they played there. We spoke about all this about 30 odd years ago. I had a book with Mike’s (Paul’s brother) photography and we recognises just about every one by name, specially the school photo
John was so well spoken and so intelligent
John was one of the wisest men. Such promise. Such intelligence. Such humanity. And George was a man of hope and spirituality whose music was so thoughtful and reassuring. I miss them still to this day. Such a tragedy that they're no longer with us.
Wise? He dumped Cynthia who was a babe, for Yogi, who wasn't.
John did heroin. He was a hypocrite, Yoko turn him on to the drug. Plus he abandoned his son for Yoko, it doesn't matter if she influenced him. He also was violent with Cynthia and Yoko. At the same time he was phenomenal talent and had the most beautiful voice. I did like John but no respect for his private life. I do believe he was searching for peace in his soul. I think if he lived he might of found it and would of made some great songs.
@@barbaracastelli9695 John used to beat up his wives and was rotten to his son and was hateful but I loved him because was a loving man of peace.
Johns comments on drug use are spot on, likewise with the insanity and obsession with guns. RIP both of them
Messengers of our time,listen
their is words,apostle’s of the 60’s-
At 71yrs, I continue to have my John/George/Paul and Ringo in my surroundings-
IMAGINE the LOVE
I loved George and his humor as well as the music from BOTH john and George.
Is that your way of saying that you don't like John?
@@Talisman09 John has good humor but he just gets overhated by this generation
I love John recognition about all of the good they did after the Beatles broke up.
I love how insightful & straight forward John Lennon was. They all had a great sense of humour & you could see they never took themselves seriously & never lost their sense of self & integrity as individuals even though they were famous. 😊
Actually both had their issues. Lennon and Ono acted like they personally invented peace for several years, basically a cover for their toxic narcissism and need for media attention, and George could be overly sullen and morbid with his Krishna fixations. Paul is the one you could accuse of being almost too light-hearted.
@@steveconn I think there was more to what we know. I've watched a few of the beetles interviews before their break up & they pretty much were always down to earth, humorous & straight forward. There was something more going on with all of them that had to do with Paul. No one can really say but I don't believe John was a narcissist but I do know he was dealing with issues relating to his mum. Yoko played her role but there was definitely more to her as well coz she was strange. Maybe one day we'll know the truth.
@@gemini6433 John and Yoko needed constant media attention - this, the bed-in for peace, filming and recording every minute of their lives - textbook narcissism.
@@steveconn Yes I know about that. I still feel there was something more behind all that. John was hiding something much deeper. People can call it whatever they want & Yoko was strange but John was not himself for a long time.
George and John, both, were remarkably outspoken and candid. The polar opposite of Paul and Ringo.
God bless Dick Cavett. This is primary source material-invaluable to those who came after this time who want to see Lennon and Harrison in the flesh, speaking extemporaneously. This is irreplaceable stuff.
Cavett is too smart and articulate for 21st century America.
How did we go from this to Ellen DeGeneres and her audience dancing in the aisles and shrieking as though they're on fire?
@@DV-zv4ox Decline of public education, social media, 24-hour news that tells you nothing, rightward swing of America and its accompanying suspicion of intellect...
Just a couple of thoughts.
100% agree. I can't believe it was only until a few years ago that I had taken the time to learn who Dick Cavett was and how he interviewed people who made an impact on the world. Fascinating time to be alive.
@@slide4180 The right wing brought us Ellen DeGeneres, you say?
The few songs that George got to write are still one of my favourites from all the Beatles songs. Something, Here Comes The Sun, If I Needed Someone and While My Guitar Gently Weeps are fantastic songs.
I’ve said since I was a kid many years ago (I’m 60) that all my favorite Beatles songs happened to be written by George.
Here Comes the Sun will lift me out of the darkest of moods from the first note. Something is one of the most beautiful love songs ever written and While My Guitar Gently Weeps??? I can’t even find the words right now. When George learned to play the Sitar and began intermingling it, the songs went from this ‘pop-ish’ sound to other worldly. I love so much of his solo work as well. As a long time yoga practitioner and spiritual human, My Sweet Lord certainly resonates. All Things Must Pass is another that touches my soul. He left us far too soon 😢
Correct. Those are some of best Beatle songs.
Here comes the sun might just be mmmy favoritte.
@@melaniesharp397 I wonder if you know that George accidently stole "Something" from the James Taylor song of the same name. Taylor wrote and recorded "Something in the Way She Moves" at Apple studios, and George just kind of got that phrase absorbed into his subconscious and wrote a song with the exact same lyric. It resulted in two totally different songs, but its an interesting fact to know if you're a fan of these guys.
I feel George and John are playing music as we speak ,and having the best time ever!
Both John and George are brilliant. They both have such a quick wit.
The impact of the Beatles is felt to this very day.
Incredible, how humbly George speaks of his music...
John and George had such great senses of humor, well actually, all four of the guys did/ do.
George held on kept all those lyrics and music deep inside and when he got his wings he flew like an Angel spreading his verses all over the world for himsnity to hear and learn from. RIP George.
John Lennon... One of greatest songwriters... always loved his interviews
No drugs, as he smokes a cigarette 😂
I believe he is THE Greatest Song Writer ever ,...... Words meander like a restless wind inside a letter box....... Who else writes that good ?
I've heard it rumored that everyone agreed that George Harrison really was the funniest of the four, and I tend to believe it. 😁
I believe he was the one at JFK when the band first landed in NY who answered the stupid reporter question "Are you going to get haircuts?" with "We had one yesterday." He was also the one who when the Beatles were asked by George Martin at their first recording session "Is there anything you don't like?" and Harrison said "I don't like your tie." It broke the ice with George Martin.
He was the funniest and he wasn't "the quiet Beatle". They all spoke.
Dick Cavett comes across as great interviewer, quite likable and pleasant to listen to. Must have have been a cool show to watch back then.
It was ! Watched it faithfully
@@catherinecrow5662 Agreed!! Better than these hosts on national late night TV these past few years.
You gotta love George Harrisons reaction when Dick Cavett told him that Yoko sat in that very chair - LOL !
I really enjoy how John just says it so simply that his wife didn’t break up The Beatles. Why couldn’t that just be accepted and that they had changed as personalities.
The Beatles' sense of humour is legendary. Anyone of the four can make an interview worth watching
Yup
John talking so intelligently about drug use. It was great. ahead of his time in thinking regarding personal freedom and today's mental health issues. Smart man. Show he was a empathetic person. George is just funny even though he seems so serious.
truly!!! even in 2022 people are JUST realizing what John has been saying for years
Agreed, he was so wise and ahead of his time
Definitely spot on regarding drugs/mental health. I did find a bit of irony when he danced around the drug reference ‘horse’, a slang word for heroin. No disrespect to John whatsoever - I will forever worship him and George - it’s fairly well documented that both J, G and Yoko all abused heroin around the time of these interviews. I can’t imagine anyone living in the fishbowl of superstardom wouldn’t need or be tempted by some kind of buffer.
Bruh hes coked tf out in the interview. Around 13:00 hes fidgety and keeps wiping his nose lmao
Lennon, s voice was the most unique in the world
The Beatles were just the greatest of their time. So many wonderful songs, beautiful melodies and clever lyrics 🇬🇧🎶🇬🇧
I like what Yoko said, it was a pretty diplomatic answer saying that all four of them were talented artists and that it was a miracle they were able to stay together for so long. If you watch "Get Back" they all agree that the death of Epstein ended "The Beatles."
Absolutely - after seeing Get Back, her take was spot on
@@melaniesharp397 Exactly… Very insightful woman.don't understand people's problems with her.Even McCartney recently has been magnanimously saying, it wasn't really a problem being in the studio. He was just irritated with her sitting on his amp, instead of a chair; Ultimately, it was pettiness paul is recognising that now
I like Dave Cavett. He’s excellent. He allows the interviewee to speak and the interview go which ever direction it takes.
@@davebryant8050 he meant to say Rick of course
Some interviewers interrogated their guests but some hold conversations. The most interesting things can come up if you swing with the conversation instead of pushing it along. Far more natural which can make the guests more comfortable. Caveat is very underrated in my opinion because he is the master of the second style of interviewing.
I agree. Sick was excellent and had manners and respectful to his guest.
DICK Cavett was not bad either.
Maybe DOUG Kavitt should have changed his name slightly,
you know, how some movie stars did . . . . . .
I wonder if Opera Windfree changed her name?
Heck, it might even go all the way back to that guy Arc Linclatter . . . . . .
It's amazing how fast Paul, George, John and Ringo had aged when they were together and how the time suddenly stopped when they broke up
I think most people tend to develop more in their late teens and early 20s than they do later in life.
@@coldanimal5107 that’s true but george looks WAY older than a 28 year old normally do in this interview
George: always my favourite. Love his individualism within the collective, aka, Beatles. Love him Would love to have met him the most.
I'm so thankful that I have been alive since those 4 guys got together as the Beatles at EMI.... I certainly miss George & John but it is cool that the younger generations are Beatles Fans.....
Man said ‘it’s not like classical music or big arrangements, it is very simple’ for if not the best, one of the best music writing in the history of this planet
Could listen to George all day, such a wise sounding guy. Such a great outlook on life he had.
And people tried to say Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds was about LSD 😂 Lennon with the mic drop 😂
If you're listening and not thinking it's about LSD, you're not really listening!
@@andrewdougan8632 yes ofcourse you think it's about LSD, but the man who wrote it just explained why it's not. So it's not 🤷 sounds like it is, but isn't.
Great video thank you very much ! Love John Lennon and George Harrison ! Rest in peace John and George !
I was a teenager in the sixties when the Beatles came on the scene, "Get Back" and "Love Me Do" every minute of their songs and theatrics. For some strange reason (I think it was the movie "Yesterday.") I got into listening to them again and the "I Feel Fine" times returned to like it was when I listened to them as young man. I, "Do You Want To Know A Secret", looked and listened to them in a different frame of mind this time, more circumspect, I would say. When I got through each and every song, "The Long And Winding Road," excepting the 16 giveaways, I realized that they were even better than I had given them credit for. 200 songs plus 16 giveaways in approximately eight years, "Paperback Writer," or 2.25 songs per month. they definitely worked "Eight Days A Week," Incredible! During their eight years as a band, The Beatles had 20 No. 1 hits, and 34 Top 10 hits on the Billboard chart. "Hey Jude" reached No. 1 on September 28, 1968, and spent 19 weeks on the charts. The second-longest No. 1 Beatles hit was "Come Together," which reached No. 1 on November 29, 1969, and spent 16 weeks on the charts. They gave away more songs than most groups wrote. So, if anyone comes up to you and says this group or those artists were better, and I know what you are thinking (the Stones), I would have to "Let it Be," to come up with a better group, a group that wrote so many great songs in such a short period of time, than the Beatles. How I miss those "Strawberry Fields Forever," days and the songs, Ticket to Ride, I Want to Hold Your Hand, She Loves You, Can't Buy Me Love, All You Need is Love, We Can Work it Out, A Hard Day's Night, Help! and finally, I can't get them all in, however, many will miss the Genius from "Penny Lane," ..... Hello Goodbye!
I know just how you feel..
I agree 100%, I was teenager in the '60S too. #9 fan here. The '60s is the most creative era of music FOR ME, and The Beatles were on top of the world. What did I say....were! Nah, they are still on top.Never equaled. Since they splitted, how many genre of music came and go? How many genre of music of today will still be listened to in 20-30-40 years? In a near future (or far future), when we'll traveled in space, the Beatles music will be there. The song Across the universe has already been beamed into space towards Sirius at the speed of light by Nasa many years ago to represent the human species. Back on Earth, humans will still listen to the Beatles in a century, if humans still exist, which is not certain coz tomorrow never knows. Even Putin has a favorite song : Back in USSR. You got back listening to the Beatles after watching the movie Yesterday. For me it was the movie Across the universe in 2007.
I love Lennon’s thoughts on addiction. He was spot on.
Spot on, for sure, coming from his personal experience with opioid addiction-- he and Yoko had been snorting heroine throughout the Beatles' last couple of years, through the White Album, Get Back & Abbey Road-- which surely informed his process, from song writing to performance in the studio (and the roof concert), through all of which he is nonetheless masterful-- some of his greatest work, in fact. Heroine addiction is tragic, but has been the backdrop (perhaps even enabling?) in the work of some of the 20th century's great musical geniuses (Charlie Parker, Coltrane, and just about every other of the jazz greats of their generation), so Lennon was in illustrious company.
@@davebryant8050 >> Trust me on this, it wouldn’t.
John talking a lot of sense way ahead of is time r.i.p John
Yoko absolutely didn't break anything, when i see someone blaming her i already know they know nothing about the Beatles. Her presence didn't help, but it wasn't her the one who asked to be there, John was a dependent person who wanted her to be around him all the time.
Good take mate. I know John loved Yoko very much, and your right he wanted her by his side all the time, but you have to admit that she is a hideous little creature with a foul personality, she's just hard to like.
I don't know about the "hideous creature", i don't know her to be able to say anything about her personality and beauty is certainly relative, people change and i bet that the ones judging her did much worse in life, to me she seems really quiet, she haven't been on the spotlight for years due to the hatred, also, we wouldn've had the so many good songs John wrote hadn't her been a part of his life.
After watching the new stream about the rooftop show,I Think John Was the Glue that kept them together as long as they did.I Agree Yoko was not the reason at all,But like time its come to light.
She didn't help of course, but at the end of the day, it was up to John to bring her around.
Allen Klein broke up the Beatles
Both great, John a natural wit and extremely intelligent.
John is a genius, pure and simple.
Could be...but here, he and Yoko were deep into their heroin addiction phase...that is why they looked nervous, and were so skinny!...At least they finally kicked it, in the mid-70s...I admire the other Beatles, as they did not fall into that sort of extreme drug usage.
@@curbozerboomer1773
Correct.
Also. John made a lot of stupid comments as well
@@curbozerboomer1773 John is on record in 1969 saying he and Yoko had moved on from heroin. Cold Turkey came out in 69 in fact. He could have relapsed of course. Albert Goldman (author of The Lives of John Lennon) said John dabbled with heroin off and on until his death...which has been heavily disputed and in some case disproven.
So you admire the other Beatles because they didn't do hard drugs huh? Ok...curious thing to say.
@@curbozerboomer1773 wrong. He used heroin until 1969. He was just nervous in this interview.
@@bradhuskers no he didn't.
This made me love George even more.
The last statement by Lennon about drug overdose and the use of drugs I agree 100% with.
Poor McCartney got jailed of 9 days in Japan because John bringing his drugs on his bag. And thanks to the fans had shut down him lol
@@dhamaged ???
@@dhamaged are you on drugs? 🙄
@@dhamaged wtf?
Of all the Beatles, George Harrison's songs are still fresh and resonate
Great closing theme! (I wrote it) .......anyhow,.... I met John and Yoko after the show. They were wearing the same clothes!! Very exciting day it was
Very cool! Do you recollect the interaction?
You wrote the theme? Wow, love it! Also noticed the show with John and Yoko started with the orchestra playing "Come together" which sounded good.
And was it your dad, who played drums with Hendrix when he appeared on the Tonite Show?
Wow!
Filmed on West 58th street.
Midway through George says that he had a lot of music in his vault that he couldn't get on the Beatles albums. John announces that he recently turned 30. He was born in October, 1940. Janis Joplin died in October, 1970 and is referred to by John as already passed. All Things Must Pass was released in November, 1970 and it apparently hadn't been released by the time this was broadcast. That album was the biggest seller of any of the albums released by the Beatles after they broke up.
Bittersweet to watch this on an anniversary, but thanks to Dick Caveett et al for sharing the video. We grew up with Dick, among others, and along with Johnny Carson, Mike Douglas, you are missed! Remember when interviews had substance?\
Now interviews about product not people. But George promoting John & Yoko's album was a kind gesture.
Amen to your comment, Chester! How true!
I'm really enjoying George's discussion of process.
I think a lot of us are realizing now that George was our favorite Beatle all along :)
George was my favourite and Lennon and McCartney never allowed him enough writing input into the band...he wrote some terrific songs...RIP George and john.
😂😂😂 Love it how George sprung out of that chair when Dick said Yoko had sat there.
I miss John. He was a visionary and humanitarian. If only he had lived, he most likely would have changed the world. Rest in Peace and Love John!
Deborah Cooney. He did change the world. So did Starr, Harrison & McCartney. The BEATLES thru their music turned in & out thousands of youths: The BABY BOOMERS! prior to that a teenager didn't have any voice whatsoever. Disagree if you see & feel something isn't write in life. VIETNAM, CIVIL RIGHTS, caring for MOTHER EARTH etc.
Loved it when he said "...which, is what we should talk about maybe" just acknowledging they're on a talk show like that
This video makes me wish that in the future they create a time machine so I can go back into past and meet the Beatles especially George
Watching the "Get Back" film achieves that effect. It did for me.
Wonderful interview with George very humble and with great humor
All things Beatles (except for the one obvious exception), bring me such joy and happiness. No matter what state of mind I’m in going in, they remind me of the good in the world ❤️
Pete Best?
So true about George...a stifled songwriter with The Beatles...and their best guitarist too!
While my guitar gently weeps "I don't know how, I don't know why". Something "I don't know, I don't know." What is life? "I can't say."
George was always my favorite and after he did "While my guitar gently weeps...." I knew why..I now know why ....never mind.

@@howie9751 That was the humbleness of George.
@@forogafold Sorry, I don't by it. Seems more like a weakness in his writing.
John Lennon was a musical genius in several ways. First, he was a very astute observer. Just about everything he created wasn't made-up entirely. He saw something usually which gave him an idea about using it in song. Then, he was a master at word play. And third, and this is probably the most important part, he was able to take a vague idea, and put it together in such a way that almost anyone could relate to it.
Completely agree with you ! 👍👏 RIP John...
Cavett was the best host period. Brilliantly quick with a comeback. Wish he was still doing these amazing shows. The artists that he had on his show, are some of the best! Ty and Happy New Year.
These interviews were very enjoyable to watch! Rest in peace and peace and love to George Harrison and to John Lennon!!!☮️❤️
If only...this was a joint interview! ❤️
some joints probably were passed ;)
@Barbara Guest no, John and George were getting along at that point.
Yoko would’ve eaten George’s biscuits
@@rubberducky4074 ...cookies.
Great video and interviews. Their music together is magic.
Dick was lucky his job allowed him to meet some pretty interesting people in this world ,great interviews
He did interview some great people unfortunately I thought he sucked.
@@johnscialfa7391 The guy is one of the worst interviewers I’ve ever seen
@@chuchindagoat7875 agree
@@chuchindagoat7875 yeah? Da Goat? Maybe an education would help you with your discernment.
Dick Cavett was peerless.
Amazing all the way through these clips! Very insightful.
Ooof, that last bit with Lennon talking about why (in not so many words) addicts are self medicating was so powerful🥺😢
Love John's raised eyebrows as he takes in the band playing Come Together as he sits down.
A decade.. I’m 28. Have been listening to the Beatles since a young age thanks to my dad and so do my little boys 8&6 thanks to me and their grandad. Their music and legacies will live on forever. As will Motown 🙌❤️
Thanks For Sharing!
Really good interview, good video, thank you for this.
I love them both so much❤️❤️❤️❤️ plus Paul and Ringo👍
I used to blame yoko for the split…recent years and these interviews have opened my eyes to the idea of them just growing as musicians and getting past the Beatles days. As George said he doesn’t regret it the Beatles were a good thing and it was time for a change.
When asked about his fortune as a musician, George said the first biggest break as an artist he received was getting into the Beatles. The second biggest break he stated was getting out of the Beatles.
John has some insightful things to say about addiction
I just loved these guys and the entire band I still have all there CD’s
I also enjoyed there individual talents also
John at 14:49: "Is there something wrong with society that's making us so pressurized that we cannot live in it without guarding ourselves against it?"
Also loved how when Dick asked John how he was doing, John was completely honest and said he was nervous, and Dick said me too.
I was struck by the humanity of John and George, contrasted with the larger than life figures/images/idols we make them out to be in our minds.
Just humble humans.
Lovely parting words from John on this interview. Right on time in today's world. May he rest in peace and may we all have peace.
Beautiful comment. I thought the same thing about John's parting words.
I guess its easy to forget all the years they spent on the road and gruelling gig schedules that left them exhausted by the mid-sixties, when they gave up playing live. It's a miracle they stayed together till '69, by which time, as creative, intelligent people, they needed the space to branch out and grow. George just tells it straight. They never stoped being friends. Brilliant job by Dick Cavett.
🤣
Sure they had some tours but any popular band toured back then. It was often when they had a new album to promote. I agree that they were ready to move on and the great music they created, after they split, proves that. I think George really felt the need to be free of the group and with good reason.
@@dixonpinfold2582 If only!😉
@@chlynn13b92 George really soared after the split
@@chlynn13b92 Any popular band toured back then...? What they did was way off the scale. They ultimately found the experience completely shattering, as the interviews reveal. This was not 'any popular band'...
George was always my favorite starting with the guitar solo on Please Please Me.
When they started out, they had no idea or any expectation that they would be the biggest group in the world. It hit them really fast and hard, beatlemania. Add to that they were in their early to mid twenties. I feel they broke up about 3 or 4 years too early and they could have made a few more great records, but I'm grateful for what we did get.
Any expectations? In Liverpool and Hamburg, John: where are we going fellas? The other 3: to the toppermost of the poppermost .
Beautiful interview that goes down in history ♥️
Watching again after Paul Mac @ Glastonbury this weekend at 80
I love hearing them speak it brings me back to my childhood
These two guys are FAB
Everything changes, Time changes, We change, and We all move on with our lives. Life go's on, until the end.
Change is the one constant in life
But, the more things change... The more they stay the same
Great video thank you
