Great Reaction,My Friend..
First thing I always do
@@eviekelpie1 thanks alot for doing that every video for me
If you think about it, the World population in 1970 was 3.8 billion so the Beatles sold music too over 1/4 of the World. That is an out standing achievement for 4 people, it will never be equalled.
I watched the whole thing. I was one of the 73 Million who watched on Ed Sullivan that night. Almost 60 years later, I still have a Beatles haircut.
They were only together about 7 yrs but are the most successful group in history
No matter how much I know about The Beatles, I still get a kick out of shows like this…!!!! Thanks to you for having interest in The Beatles…!!!!
Not just the greatest band of all time but the greatest act of all time…simply put
They are without a doubt the greatest band that has ever existed.
People really say michael Jackson is better...
@@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek Michael Jackson was a great entertainer and very talented and influential. He was an individual and the Beatles were a band. The brief history explained it well but there is more. Let’s look at it this way, Michael was obviously a fan of the Beatles, he bought and owned the Beatles catalog for awhile. It all comes down to this, Michael Jackson and Elvis were the greatest individual acts, the Beatles were the greatest band without a doubt. Maybe you should watch A Brief History of the Beatles again.
@@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek ignorant people say that
@@scottborenstein8291 they were way better than Michael Jackson as individuals too. They aren't just the greatest band but greatest modern musical artists. And please don't embarres yourself by mentioning Elvis again😂😂😂
They were able to record 10 songs in one day because of all the live, non-stop, insanely paced, grueling practice they had gotten in Hamburg.
Excellent point. Why were The Beatles so tight? Germany.
Twist and Shout almost killed John lol
The greatest part of The Beatles experience was being there as it unfolded in those 8 years. You can't really understand it fully like waiting for the next album to come out. Back then it was The Beatles and then everyone else. A similar experience was the Motown label. Every album was also anticipated, only with many groups, but very impactful.
So true. I’d stand outside our local record store just waiting for it to open to buy their latest album or 45. In those days, you could go into a booth and listen to a record before purchase. During the Beatles decade, that booth was never empty. I’m so blessed to have grown up with them. Truly the soundtrack of my life. ABFF ♥️♥️♥️. Thank you for sharing this and allowing yourself to learn a bit more about these astounding artists. ✌️
I met two British sailors while in the navy on the Island of Malta that asked me for a fag. I was a bit thrown off until he told me a fag was a cigarette. We got to jawing and got on Beatles.They told me that they saw them when they were the Flying SILVER Beatles. I thought they were playing Me! Thanks, keep up the good work.
I love the Beatles so much since 1964 while watching Ed Sullivan. I have loved them ever since.
800 million was the number about 10 years ago.
It's over a billion now.
This video should required viewing for all reactors. Bob Dylan is a great American singer\songwriter who was probably the most influential performer of his time.
I was one of those 73,000,000 people that seen them live in the Ed Sullivan Show
Ringo briefly quit the band in ‘68, so Paul played the drums on Back in the U.S.S.R.
66yrs old now. First saw them on The Ed Sullivan show in 1964.❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤The Beatles were paid a total of $10,000 for their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964. This was split equally among the four band members, so each of them received $2,500.🔴🟥🟠🟧🟡🟨🟢🟩🔵🟦🟣🟪🟤🟫⚫⬛
London 1969 I was 18 and was at the Beatles last gig ,, I was in the street below ,, brilliant memory.
That's amazing! I can't imagine. I'm 72, grew up in LA so was fortunate to see them a few times including the Hollywood Bowl. But to see their final 'show' is super special!
Im proud to say that The Beatles were my first concert in 1966! Of course I was so far back that they looked like ants, and I couldn't hear them over the screaming, but I was there!. I love all of their albums but I'd have to say that Rubber Soul was my favorite. Thanks for reacting to this and learning more about them!
How lucky that you were a witness in those early days! ☺️☺️
The Beatles were the first band I saw live in July 1963 at the Winter Gardens, Margate, England.. I was 11 and I was never the same again after that night.
Bob Dylan.. Big artist in his own right.. Later on to team up with Harrison in a little super group called The Traveling Wilburies.
Yep, I watched the entire reaction. I remember watching their legendary appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show when I was six years old! After that, you couldn't go anywhere without hearing a Beatle's song and their pictures were in every magazine marketed to kids. My favorite Beatles songs are "Yesterday", "Let It Be", "Something", "Hey Jude", "Here Comes the Sun", and "Come Together".
Same here. 6 at that time and Beatles dominated all radio.
Good one ..I was 10..
Here too! On our family’s portable 19” Admiral B&W TV.
My whole family sitting on the living room floor watching the Ed Sullivan Show, I was in the 3rd grade and had to go out the following week and start buying my Beatles trading cards. Living in Detroit, they finally pushed the Motown Sound to the back burner for me.
Bob Dylan songs, “Like A Rolling Stone”, “Shelter from the Storm”, “Tangled Up in an Blues”, “Positively 4th street”, also, Bob Dylan was rip before rap. “It’s all right Ma I’m only bleeding”.
My first favorite band. I got my first Beatles album when i was 3. Meet The Beatles. My Mama said when the 5:11 y were on The Ed Sullivan Show, I stood an inch from the TV completely hypnotized. I was a year old. So i can confidently say I've loved them my whole life
Good reaction fella,I’ll sub.
I was 9yrs old in 1963 when The Beatles exploded into our lives here in Britain.
They changed EVERYTHING.
It was a black and white world pre-Beatles,then,glorious vivid colour.
Everyone back then bought any new Beatles that was released without knowing anything on it.
I don’t know anybody who doesn’t know at least one Fab Four song.
Best Albums of The Beatles:
• Abbey Road
• Revolver
• Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
• Rubber Soul
• The Beatles (White Album)
Keep in mind, The Beatles started as a singles band with rare exceptions like the film soundtracks…
• Hard Day’s Night
• Help!
Rubber Soul was to me the best and first time anyone went this deep into their sound and music lyrics .
I am a first generation beatles fan and so impressed with your video. Thank you for appreciating their unbelievable talent which changed music history .
I was an 11yr old and loved them and bought every single, album which I still have today.
Best band ever, their songs have been with me on my journey of life .
if you like the beatles i have something i think you will want to see, in fact i know you will
One of my clearest memories!! Every Sunday night, as a family, we watched the
Ed Sullivan Show. The night of the history-making appearance by the Beatles
will always be my musical introduction to this greatest of all bands. Have been a
hard-core fan ever since. Enjoyed this immensely! Love from Canada 🇨🇦
What's up, ADogg? Nice to visit with you again! Yeah, I was just a kid on my bicycle, pedaling to the store & buying my first vinyl 45 rpm single records, when the Beatles started putting out records. We all right away knew they were something special, because not only did they sound really fresh & exciting, but also because the "B" side on each of their 45 rpm single records sounded GOOD (& not just throw-away crap, like the "B" side would on other artist's singles). Plus, the Beatle just kept CRANKING OUT good records! We couldn't believe it! We all started wearing our hair long too, and felt the Beatles represented us, the youth of the world!!
Watched it. Saw them on Ed Sullivan. I was nine. Changed my life.
60 years ago they arrived in America, and shook up the world
In 1979, when I was 9, and lost my dad to a heart deformity, I clung to the Beatles for solice. I started with the VEEJAY album Introducing the Bealtes. Parlophone's Beatles Rock and Roll music, and The Beatles second album. Within a year I had baled so much hay for local farmers to save up, I had all the Beatles albums by that next Christmas. I didn't really care for any of the 80s music when I was a teen in the 80s, because I was in jazz band and playing sax and trumpet, listening to Chuck Mangione, Miles Davis, and Herb Alpert. The Beatles were about as popular as I got and they always stayed my favorite. Whatever song or album I just listened to is my fav, and that changes each time.
Yes, if you take the Beatles sales, plus Paul McCartney's sales with his other groups and his solo work, he's the best-selling artist ever. And then you have all kinds of artists covering some of his songs like Yesterday and Blackbird. Last I checked, he's still touring. But not because he needs the money.
Paul's net worth $1.3 billion!
…also the most chart successful artist of all time.
Not likely
This is on the Beatles- not McCartney ok
Paul also wrote many songs for other artists
I was a very impressional 10 year old in 1963, and have been a fan for 60yrs!!😂😂 Wow, time flies!!😕
Bob Dylan is a poet who sings. He still performs today
They were not only known as "Johnny and the Moondogs"... they were also the Nerk Twins, the Ravens, and Japage 3. Another name they went by during the "Silver" period, was "Long John and the Silvermen", which John denied, but Paul said he loved being called Long John. There were also several members not mentioned in the video, including Thomas Moore, their first post-Quarrymen drummer, who was about 15 years older than the others and quit the band suddenly after their tour of Scotland, to get his factory job back to impress his girlfriend.
Rubber Soul was my very first album. Beautiful!
If you don't know who Bob Dylan is then you most definitely need to dig into his work. He's considered by many to be the greatest folk songwriter of all time. Especially his first 6 albums, they are priceless.
Revolver is my favorite album, period !
Give it a listen
Fantastic
It has something for everyone
I'm so happy you got to learn more about the Beatles. I watched the entire reaction with you. I absolutely loved them, especially John! I was 13 when they made their 1st TV appearance in the US. I was at our evening church service & the priest let us leave early so we wouldn't miss anything! John was killed on my birthday, which haunts me every Dec. 8th!
Oh that must've been tough especially on your birthday
4 days after my 19th on December 4th. I cried for a year. I still do.
@@DawnSuttonfabfour I know how you feel. You're 25 days older then me. My boss had to send me home. I was so devastated 😢
I grew up, being 6 when the became a hit, loved them, feel really honoured to have them as the leading music in my life
THE BEATLES, the greatest band that ever was and ever will be....period!
I was 5 years old and we were at my father's friend's house and he made us sit and watch the Ed Sullivan show, and being 5 ,I wasn't into it but he said this was a big TO DO and we had to see it. I am so glad that happened because I can now say I saw them the 1st time on ED SULLIVAN show, momentous occasion.
The Beatles made so many firsts especially in how they recorded music and instruments used. Hard to believe they had basically ten years together. A rare moment in music history. 😊
Bob Dylan was huge and also was in the band with George Harrison called the Wilburys. He's got one of those voices that you recognize instantly that it's him.
The Beatles entire professional career fits in between today’s releases.
Being a teenybopper in the early 60s, I ingested everything I could about the Beatles so I knew then they had been the Silver Beetles. I wonder now how much $ I spent on teen magazines, Beatles bubble gum cards, etc. A friend of my mother who lived in San Francisco at the time even sent me newspaper articles about them.
Just finished watching this. So great!
You ask which is my favourite Beatles album.... simple.. just the one that has "The Beatles" on it .... oh, my ! That'd be all of them !!
I was 16 in 1963 and witnessed it, and lived it, and loved it all.
Apple began quite well with James Taylor as its first recording artist.
You missed what he said. An INSANE fan shot John.
Surprise, surprise: Paperback Writer was not on Revolver.
Watched it all of course.. Born in 1952, was more my older Brother that got me introduced to The Beatles, Rubber Soul or Revolver my favourite albums, and Eleanor Rigby probably my favourite track, but every time I play one of my albums, that changes, yes still have Vinyl albums.. Dylan and Donovan were on my list too as were the Stones... Thanks for reacting to this one
McCartney is a natural songwriter: he's one of those very rare people that could simply look at something, and come up with a line for a song.
When you consider just how many "one-hit wonder" bands have come and gone over the decades, you know that's a very special trait, and he continues to this day.
I should mention, if nobody else did, they remained friends after the breakup, and worked on each others solo projects.
And, just wait until you research Jimi Hendrix's work, if you haven't yet, as well as Bob Dylan.
Favorite early album Meet The Beatles. Favorite later album Abbey Road
Saw your entire reaction Adogg, and 800 million and still selling!
❤😊 Thank you for your reaction. The Beatles probably changed the course of history.
The Beatles have a great back story
The Anthology documentary is excellent and well worth a watch!
My favorite Beatles album is Revolver. Nonstop amazing and timeless!
Watched the whole thing. Thanks for doing this. They were, simply, part of us while we grew up with them.
I can't believe they brought up the Paul is dead hoax without explaining it, someone not familiar with the Beatles wouldn't get that. I saw the Beatles in Cleveland in 1965 when I was 16, it cost $2! I love the reaction videos, after all these years I knew all the words and music to every song so I think altho I still love them I took their music for granted. It's great to hear people point out how great it is.
Yes, I watched until the very end and enjoyed every minute. I knew or had heard most of those stories but it was good to hear them again and to see your enjoyment of them. It was a great presentation (the film) and reaction (you).
I was 5 years old when that first Beatles appearance happened on Ed Sullivan, in Feb 1964 - and I will never forget it, or the others that came after! Everything changed that night, even in the wide eyes of a 5 year old. I could spend the rest of the night listening to The Beatles now 😃
Glad you like The Beatles Sir.
I was a teenager in the 60's, it was without a doubt the best decade ever for music, I was a huge Beatles fan and was sad when they broke up, and I will never forget how devastated l was when John Lennon was killed there has only been 3 times in my life when someone I didn't know personally has died and it's hit me really hard and felt like I've lost a member of my own family, the first being John Lennon the second George Michael and this year our Queen Elizabeth. I really enjoyed this video and realised there's an early album I didn't know about so I will be listening to that tomorrow.
I’m kind of surprised Elvis isn’t on your list. I liked Elvis, but I wouldn’t say I was a big fan, but his death is one of those that took me a while to get over the shock. :)
@@G-grandma_Army i was never an elvis fan always thought he was overrated. i was surprised when he died because of his age but it didn't have any affect on me
The Beatles' Anthology DVD release mentioned at the end of this video, featured 5 discs, each one about 2 1/2 hours long and is pretty in depth. It was an expanded release of a televised show on ABC TV. That week, they billed themselves as A-Beatles-C. This documentary was so great because it was presented by the Beatles themselves and featured music from the Beatles.
Yes we've got a copy and have watched it many times. Highly recommended it
I still get such a kick out of the fact that Sir Paul McCartney is a billionaire!💥🤑Take that, 1960s record company execs‼
You asked for our favourite Beatles LP - for me it must be "Rubber Soul" (and especially the song "Norwegian Wood"). I was 17 at the time.... and still love it....
Hey, Adogg, I watched the whole video until the end. I knew it all before, so let me comment on one point. The lazy press stated Lennon was ‘murdered by a crazed fan’ but that is not really accurate. His killer, who I will not name (more on that later) was living in Hawaii when a girl dumped him. (Smart girl). The killer decided he wanted to ‘become somebody’ by killing someone famous. He had a list on him, or at the grungy place he was staying, of famous people that included Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman, and Mick Jagger. When he left Hawaii for LA, he found that all the famous people lived behind gates and you never knew where they would be. Lennon famously lived at the Dakota, a co-op in NYC, and also famously was known to walk around NY (which he said he could not do in London without being swamped with fans). So the “worm, the devil’s best friend” as George Harrison described him in “All Those Years Ago” a song recorded with McCartney, Ringo, and producer George Martin, a cry of pain at his bandmate ‘s murder, waited outside the Dakota for several days in December 1980. Earlier in the day, the Worm had actually gotten Lennon to sign a copy of Double Fantasy, Lennon’s first album in 5 years, recorded with Yoko as John & Yoko left the Dakota for the studio, recording new music. As they returned later that night, the car they were in took Yoko inside the gates to the courtyard, while Lennon got out on the street to greet fans and sign more autographs. The only reason the “crazed fan” label is attached to the killer is because he acted like a fan, waiting outside the Dakota for an autograph. He waited with a copy of “The Catcher in the Rye” in which the main character labels all adults as “phonies”, reading it as the cops arrived, and said he considered Lennon to be phony for singing about peace, love, and “no possessions” on songs like “Imagine”, while getting rich. But the Killer’s main motivation: get famous by killing someone famous. And he got his wish. Cover of People magazine, one-on-one interview with Barbara Walters. (For which I never forgave Walters. She used to interview newsmakers like Menachem Begin, Anwar Sadat, President Carter, Henry Kissinger, when they were pursuing peace in the Middle East, but became a celebrity whore, interviewing rich daughters who got famous by “leaking” porn home movies, and in this case, murderers.) The killer even said at one of his parole hearings, when asked what he would do if released “I don’t know. What do you do after you’ve murdered John Lennon?” He remains behind bars. But he also remains a sick footnote in our sick celebrity culture.
Abby Road is my fav Beatles Album
I think the fellow doing the narration of the Beatles history neglected to mention the fact that while in Hamburg, Ringo Starr stood in as drummer for the Beatles when Pete Best took nights off. This was super critical in how things turned out. John, Paul and George were highly impressed with Ringo's tight drumming during those early Hamburg days. That's why when Pete Best was fired, Ringo was the first one they wanted and 'eureka', he agreed and they went on to,...well you know the rest.
Marvelous reaction video. I’ve seen the video before but I like to see you reactors reacting! My favorite album? I honestly can’t decide. BTW Bob Dylan is considered to be the foremost songwriter in America, up there with Lennon/McCartney. He has great stuff (though his voice isn’t always the best:-) The Beatlemania stuff was absolutely wild, far beyond anything seen before it (and probably since). I actually remember the the album burning that went on back then; I thought it was ridiculous and didn’t pay much attention to it. Lennon’ s assassin was a fan who was angry about the ‘bigger than Jesus’ quote. At least that’s what he said at the time. More recently, he claims he did it for “fame.” George Harrison and his wife were attacked in their home in 1999 by a crazed man who attempted to murder them with a knife. It was a pretty harrowing experience and doctors said George was lucky not to have been killed. I could go on. There is so much information about the Beatles. I think there are over two thousand books written about them. My last observation is that hearing them for the first time was one of the most joyous experiences of my life. I don’t know why but I can still remember to this day where I was when I first heard them. Thanks for a thoughtful reaction.
Still the top selling musicians of all time.
My personal favorite:
The song "Day Tripper" was the first song to start a song with feedback.
Re: the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" was the first 'concept album'. Aka: not an album with 5 - 10 most recent #1 hit songs, which was the norm.
The Beach Boys then released their album: "Pet Sounds" & blew everything historical out of the water.
Suggestion:
Please do a presentation video on how 'the Paul is dead' rumors came about. I promise, you will not be disappointed.
I am a Domestic Goddess in my very early 60's.
You really did have photos that I have never seen before.
Along with some curserary factual information.
I honestly believe that you represented the thumbnail version very well.
There was a radio series called: "Breakfast With the Beatles". This format was interviewing a famous rocker musician, like Stephen Tyler. The guest would tell how the Beatles influenced them musically & personally.
Just saying.
≈^..^≈
BEST. DAY. NOW.
LONG LIVE THE BEATLES!!!
Thank you for sharing this. The Beatles are my favorite band of all time.I just love them all. John and Paul are my favorites.
I really enjoyed the entire documentary history of the greatest band ever! Thank you for sharing the documentary!
I have been a fan since I was 9 (1979). I knew all of this. Still listen to the Beatles almost every day. My favorite album/song is the one I am listen to at the time.
I’m so glad you played this! I grew up through most of this mayhem and it was fun to see it again. I remember collecting Beatles cards in bubble gum packages. I still love them to this day! Watched it all with you!
My favorite album was The White Album.
She Loves You (the best of the early songs, IMO) was not on Please Please Me. It was just a free-floating single.
I watched the entire video with you. Enjoyed it greatly. I grew up on the Beatles and there was a lot of stuff I learned from this that I didn't know before!
73 million watching on TV. Don't forget that back then that not all households could afford tv's as it was a relatively new gadget.
This was a few years after they broke up. I was about 8 yrs old, my brother was playing "Help!", the first time I ever heard Beatles music, and something inside me felt euphoric, unbridled, lol! It was the melody and harmonies that moved me, then each instrument. Sounds sappy but that experience opened me up to music. Thank you for bringing back heartfelt memories 💖
Love this! Thanks for introducing me to this "Brief History". So glad I watched all the way to the end!
Revolver is my favorite album by them.
Thanks so much for this. I find your comments always so thoughtful. I really enjoy watching your videos.
I grew up with the Beatles having been born in 55. The first Beatles album that made its way to our small town in the Canadian Rockies was the soundtrack to ‘A Had Day’s Night’. My mom was a professional musician and she adored the Beatles and was ahead of her time. People talked about these weird British boys who had these crazy haircuts. And people talked about the fact that my mom bought that album lol. Small towns ha ha. Everybody had the flat top crew cuts in those days. I still remember looking at the cover of that album and thinking it was so cool, and different.
I couldn’t possibly name a favourite Beatles album. Or a favourite Beatles song. They are next level, lightning in a bottle.
I do remember feeling a thrill and shock at hearing the Revolver track, Tomorrow Never Knows. And then I couldn’t stop playing it.
For people who don’t know the Beatles, I often recommend the famous medley on the B-side of Abbey Road which does indeed end with The End, the last music they recorded together. That medley of short song pieces really gives the listener a good idea of their incredible range. The Beatles could, and did, do anything.
I loved the fact that they wrote little novels in there music. They wrote about characters. Eleanor Rigby, Maxwell, mean Mr. mustard, polythene Pam, etc. etc. They told stories.
They are simply the greatest of all time.
LOL I voice texted and it typed the wrong ‘there’ LOL.
@@ddiamondr1 FYI. You see the three dots at the very right of your comment. You can click that and edit your comment!
The must-hear album is the fourth studio album is the UK original, “Beatles For Sale”.
I watched the Beatles on that local TV channel (Granada TV )in the 60s when I was 10 . Wow ! I thought what a great band and they are from my home city of Liverpool !
Great overview of the group.. John Lennon's murder was traumatic for a lot of people and sent shock waves over the world. The official video of his song 'God' will give you an idea of the impact his loss was. Great reaction man.
Best album. Sgt. Pepper. Still to this day. A Classic. Other bands at the time couldn’t believe it. It was that good
czcams.com/video/vbHMgqHtAy0/video.html
I watched it all. And, growing up with The Beatles it is hard to name a "favorite" album. I pretty much like them all. Oh, and probably I listen to at least 1/2 dozen of their songs everyday.
Strawberry Fields Forever was released early, because they had not released anything in a long time. It did not "not make the cut".
In addition to the 800 mullion albums they sold 1.6 Billion singles.
I love this video and have seen it several times. But it is by no means the only documentary about the Beatles. There have been more documentaries made about the Beatles than for any other recording act in music history!
I watched the whole thing with you! I want to thank you for helping keep the Beatles alive in hearts and minds. They are so positive and everyone can use more positivity! Keep up the good work and interesting content. ✌️❤️
I grew up with the Beatles, pretty much as it was happening -- born October 1, 1963. I inherited all my older brothers and sisters Beatle albums and was heavily into my fandom by the end of the decade. But my favorite Beatles albums were those from the early stages, as those were the 1st albums I listened to as a young tike. So, my favorite album is probably "Meet The Beatles" (MTB), which is the U.S. release-version of "With The Beatles", released in the U.K. I just have the best memories of discovering them through that album (and through the "Something New" and "The Beatles Story" records, as well). MTB started with "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and went straight into "I Saw Her Standing There", which was a legendary one-two punch of Rock/Pop awesomeness! From there I was hooked! Every song on that album is great (even deep cuts like "Hold Me Tight")! I love the guitar & drums-driven songs of those early years but I also became a fan of their more experimental music, from 1966 onwards, after I grew up and my tastes matured. The Beatles are truly Legend!
Thanks for sharing that. I loved it while I knew much of it because I was a teenager when the Beatles first came on the stage, but I still learned a lot. I didn’t know. Thank you.
It was the Beatles cartoon that introduced me to the band. That was in the fall of 1967 when the cartoon was in it's 3rd season. That Saturday morning line up on the ABC network also introduced the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man.
Bob Dylan. Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. He wrote/ played/ played/sings/ recorded epic influential albums of songs. “:It’s Alright Ma ( I’m Only Bleeding)”, “Positively Fourth Street “, “Visions of Johanna”, “Like A Rolling Stone”, and others from three major epic albums, “Highway 61”, “Bringing it Back Home”, and the double album, “ Blonde on Blonde”.
But whose actual sound and range of music behind the lyrics isn't close to the range The Beatles wrote in, leading the way in the recordings to new subgenres/styles within pop and rock music.
@@kevinlakeman5043 Dylan had an important inspiration for the Beatles, according to John, Paul, and Ringo.
Your remark about the comparison in the substantive depth of Beatles music is correct. But, I wouldn’t compare the music per se. Dylan is for several albums an epic spiritual awakening experience. Same for the Beatles but in a slightly musical experience. Dylan got his gravity in winning the Nobel Prize in Literature. He explains how and why in his acceptance speech to to Nobel Committee ( on CZcams). The Beatles found song ideas from everywhere including daily newspapers. Their are many great books and interviews that explore that. Beatles music for me is as vital as Bach, Mozart, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Michael Brecker, and Bob Berg. So you have a point, for my mind.
@@kevinlakeman5043 Your'e tripping. lol
Adogg I made it to the end of the video. I've been a Beatle fan forever and I learned a few new things about them watching this video! Thanks for the reaction. Love your videos!!
My Favorite is Revolver. Yes, I watch the Beatles on Ed Sullivan in Feb 1964. The next week, Tge Ed Sullivan Show from Miami featuring the Bears again even had MORE people watching...
Thank you so much for doing this. I grew up listening to The Beatles - my dad was a huge fan. I never knew some of the facts especially the part when they met in the 1950s and the different name changes. Unbelievable the number of hits and albums in less than 9 years. They wrote over 300+ songs together. The best part was they could all sing - although John and Paul did most of the singing and they could all interchangeably be the front man on stage at times (except for Ringo on the drums although he did do some solos). They did stop touring mainly due to being exhausted as well as they couldn't hear themselves due to the loudness of the crowds as well as technology that was only 2 track in the early to mid 1960s - which meant very little surround sound - or none at all. It is funny how a lot of people blamed Yoko Ono for John's distraction (which was true) but Paul had gotten married, George was going through something with his girlfriend. Another great thing was they could all write music and lyrics. Not many all round artists these days. I am thinking of Prince as he was able to write, sing and play multiple instruments.
Quite a bit of the early history is new to me, and I THOUGHT I knew a good deal about them. Thanks!
