00:00:17,875 --> 00:00:21,874
[John F. Kennedy] To all Americans,
I say that a supreme national effort
5
00:00:21,875 --> 00:00:24,957
will be needed in the years ahead
6
00:00:24,958 --> 00:00:28,000
to move this country
safely through the 1960s.
7
00:00:28,750 --> 00:00:33,207
Those who came before us
made certain that this country
8
00:00:33,208 --> 00:00:37,249
rode the first waves
of the Industrial Revolution,
9
00:00:37,250 --> 00:00:39,457
the first waves of modern invention,
10
00:00:39,458 --> 00:00:41,708
and the first wave of nuclear power.
11
00:00:43,333 --> 00:00:45,957
One hundred years of delay have passed
12
00:00:45,958 --> 00:00:49,040
since President Lincoln freed the slaves,
13
00:00:49,041 --> 00:00:51,915
yet their heirs, their grandsons,
14
00:00:51,916 --> 00:00:53,458
are not fully free.
15
00:00:54,166 --> 00:00:57,290
And this nation will not be fully free
16
00:00:57,291 --> 00:00:59,125
until all its citizens are free.
17
00:01:00,541 --> 00:01:03,957
This generation
does not intend to founder
18
00:01:03,958 --> 00:01:06,915
in the backwash
of the coming age of space.
19
00:01:06,916 --> 00:01:09,957
We choose to go
to the moon in this decade
20
00:01:09,958 --> 00:01:11,415
and do the other things,
21
00:01:11,416 --> 00:01:14,708
not because they are easy,
but because they are hard.
22
00:01:16,083 --> 00:01:19,999
Because that challenge is one
that we're willing to accept,
23
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,749
one we are unwilling to postpone,
24
00:01:22,750 --> 00:01:24,750
and one we intend to win.

They're in perfect synchronization.

Listen to that, George.

Listen to it. Hang on.
37
00:02:19,625 --> 00:02:21,790
- [John] Excuse me, David. Excuse me, Al.
- [Paul] John?
38
00:02:21,791 --> 00:02:23,832
- [John] Yeah?
- [Paul] I think he's got a watch, too.

- It's a radio!

44
00:02:33,541 --> 00:02:35,582

- [Al Maysles] Yeah.

00:02:35,583 --> 00:02:37,290

00:02:37,291 --> 00:02:38,332
Without looking?
47
00:02:38,333 --> 00:02:39,999
- [Paul] He made that camera.
- [John] He's looking through that.
48
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,165
- Did he?
- [Paul] Made it himself.
49
00:02:41,166 --> 00:02:42,999
[John] He's gonna have a great eye
at the end of this tour.
50

[John] Hello?
53
00:02:47,166 --> 00:02:48,874
[Paul] It comes a bit later. Yeah.
54
00:02:48,875 --> 00:02:50,665
[George] And then what do you do?
55
00:02:50,666 --> 00:02:52,540
- Do you battery it?
- [Paul] It's on?
56
00:02:52,541 --> 00:02:54,208
- George?
- [George] Is that batter--
57
00:02:54,958 --> 00:02:56,665

Oh, you can hear your own voice talking!

- [organizer] Next question.
109
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,665
[reporter 2] There's some
doubt that you can sing.
110
00:05:23,666 --> 00:05:24,999
No, we need money first.

December of '63,
137
00:06:24,041 --> 00:06:28,125
um, my sister had the radio on,
and I heard "She Loves You."
138
00:06:28,708 --> 00:06:30,458
[chuckles softly]
139
00:06:37,583 --> 00:06:39,416
It's like the light came on.
140
00:06:41,833 --> 00:06:43,291
It's like the light came on.
141
00:06:44,416 --> 00:06:48,540
{\an8}It's like total darkness,
and then the light comes on.
142
00:06:48,541 --> 00:06:51,832
{\an8}I was like, "Oh my God,
this sounds good."
143
00:06:51,833 --> 00:06:53,291
{\an8}"Something for us."
144
00:06:53,458 --> 00:06:56,457
Here's this thing
that comes out of nowhere.
145
00:06:56,458 --> 00:06:59,665
One of the things that was
so great about them was
146
00:06:59,666 --> 00:07:01,374
they were from Liverpool.
147
00:07:01,375 --> 00:07:03,457
We didn't even know
where Liverpool was.
148
00:07:03,458 --> 00:07:05,957
I mean, they could have been from Mars.
149
00:07:05,958 --> 00:07:07,749
[crowd chanting]
We want The Beatles!
150
00:07:07,750 --> 00:07:08,915
[crowd member screams]
151
00:07:08,916 --> 00:07:11,499
[TV host] The British Beatles
broke out here in New York
152
00:07:11,500 --> 00:07:14,207
on top of an epidemic
of the German measles.
153
00:07:14,208 --> 00:07:17,832
Unlike measles, Beatles strikes
teenagers almost exclusively,
154
00:07:17,833 --> 00:07:21,207
but the symptoms are the same:
fever and an itching rash
155
00:07:21,208 --> 00:07:23,916
that produces contortions
on the part of the victims.
156
00:07:24,625 --> 00:07:27,415
They play electrified guitars,
banjos, and other things.
157
00:07:27,416 --> 00:07:31,124
They also sing, but this is not
regarded as essential
158
00:07:31,125 --> 00:07:34,041
because the bobby-soxers in the audience
provide most of the sounds.
159
00:07:34,583 --> 00:07:36,749
The arrival of The Beatles
suggests another matter
160
00:07:36,750 --> 00:07:38,582
for Anglo-American cooperation.
161
00:07:38,583 --> 00:07:41,957
Both countries have a society
for the prevention of cruelty to children
162
00:07:41,958 --> 00:07:44,749
as well as one for the prevention
of cruelty to animals,
163
00:07:44,750 --> 00:07:48,666
but neither has a society
for the prevention of cruelty to adults.
164
00:07:49,625 --> 00:07:52,249
[Paul] But that's one of the nice things
about this exhibition.
165
00:07:52,250 --> 00:07:55,207
{\an8}You're seeing stuff that you'd forgotten
166
00:07:55,208 --> 00:07:57,290
{\an8}or you just hadn't taken it in.
167
00:07:57,291 --> 00:08:01,291
{\an8}This is my house in Liverpool
in Forthlin Road
168
00:08:02,333 --> 00:08:04,250
with the fancy wallpaper.
169
00:08:05,541 --> 00:08:08,540
[Paul] Me and John could
just sit around, writing stuff.
170
00:08:08,541 --> 00:08:11,000
We'd written the song "She Loves You"
171
00:08:11,791 --> 00:08:14,790
in the next room, and my dad
was in the other room.
172
00:08:14,791 --> 00:08:17,290
So, we came in to play it
to him, first time, you know?

Yeah, yeah, yeah ♪

00:08:19,750 --> 00:08:22,999
And he's going...
And at the end of it, he said,
175
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,499
"Boys," he said,
"It's nice. Very nice,
176
00:08:25,500 --> 00:08:29,290
but couldn't you sing,
"She loves you, yes, yes, yes?"
177
00:08:29,291 --> 00:08:30,832
[interviewer chuckles]
178
00:08:30,833 --> 00:08:33,624
He said there's enough
of these Americanisms around.
179
00:08:33,625 --> 00:08:34,708
[chuckles]
180
00:08:35,375 --> 00:08:39,041
[Paul] Coming to America, this was
"Give me your huddled masses."
181
00:08:39,541 --> 00:08:42,416
You know, this was, to us,
the land of freedom.
182
00:08:43,083 --> 00:08:45,749
It was funny, 'cause once
we got here, we learned
183
00:08:45,750 --> 00:08:48,958
it wasn't quite the story.
184
00:08:50,416 --> 00:08:51,916
[Paul] There they are.
185
00:08:52,583 --> 00:08:57,208
- [crowd screaming]
- [indistinct chatter]
186
00:08:58,958 --> 00:09:00,457
[Paul] How do you do, Gayle?
187
00:09:00,458 --> 00:09:02,999
- Hello, Gayle.
- [Gayle] Very nice to meet you.
188
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,082
It's not as though I know
I'm being recorded.
189
00:09:06,083 --> 00:09:07,707
[laughter]
190
00:09:07,708 --> 00:09:09,666
Oh, I say, we're on the radio.
191
00:09:10,416 --> 00:09:11,540
- TV.
- [John] TV?
192
00:09:11,541 --> 00:09:13,665
[Ringo] Maybe that thing
on his shoulder is not a parrot.
193
00:09:13,666 --> 00:09:16,291
- There's a lady with a golf stick here.
- [laughter]
194
00:09:18,166 --> 00:09:20,124
- [Paul sighs]
- [John and Gayle laugh]
195
00:09:20,125 --> 00:09:21,832
[John mimicking parrot]
Hello, love!
196
00:09:21,833 --> 00:09:24,458
- [speaks indistinctly]
- The weight's getting him down.
197
00:09:25,250 --> 00:09:28,124
[laughter]
198
00:09:28,125 --> 00:09:30,749
- I need more, I need more.
- [David Maysles] Keep going.
199
00:09:30,750 --> 00:09:32,708
[John] What are you trying
to record, actually?
200
00:09:33,791 --> 00:09:36,207
You don't speak English? No.
201
00:09:36,208 --> 00:09:37,540
[John speaks indistinctly]
202
00:09:37,541 --> 00:09:39,915
She daren't talk.
There's a woman here, you see,
203
00:09:39,916 --> 00:09:41,624
with a little microphone,
and she daren't talk,
204
00:09:41,625 --> 00:09:44,082
and she's got a little paper
with 28 on it. She keeps--
205
00:09:44,083 --> 00:09:46,791
- [Ringo] Twenty-nine. It's gone up.
- Take! [chuckles]
206
00:09:47,333 --> 00:09:49,708
[Paul] Twenty-- Twenty-nine.
Keeps going up every time.
207
00:09:50,458 --> 00:09:51,915
Funny mic, though,
that's what I say.
208
00:09:51,916 --> 00:09:53,915
- [Paul] Funny mic?
- I say it's a funny mic.
209
00:09:53,916 --> 00:09:56,874
If we could get the camera down
on this mic, it'd be a great laugh.
210
00:09:56,875 --> 00:10:00,000
How about--
Go on, go on. Defy convention.
211
00:10:00,541 --> 00:10:02,540
- [laughter]
- Go on!
212
00:10:02,541 --> 00:10:05,249
- Down on it! Go on. Come on.
- Get down on it.
213
00:10:05,250 --> 00:10:06,749
- Hyah! Hyah!
- [Ringo] Hey!
214
00:10:06,750 --> 00:10:07,915
[John] Ha! Ha!
215
00:10:07,916 --> 00:10:09,207
[everyone cheers, claps]
216
00:10:09,208 --> 00:10:10,624
- [Ringo whistles]
- Got it!
217
00:10:10,625 --> 00:10:12,707
[police officer]
Move back! Go ahead! Come on!
218
00:10:12,708 --> 00:10:14,040
[girl screaming]
219
00:10:14,041 --> 00:10:16,165
Push back. Come on. A little more.
220
00:10:16,166 --> 00:10:18,457
[indistinct chatter]
221
00:10:18,458 --> 00:10:19,874
[interviewer]
Why do you like The Beatles?
222
00:10:19,875 --> 00:10:21,832
- They're beautiful!
- Because they're fabulous!
223
00:10:21,833 --> 00:10:24,207
- Especially Paul. Oh!
- They're so cute. They’re everything.
224
00:10:24,208 --> 00:10:25,790
Oh, they’re adorable.
225
00:10:25,791 --> 00:10:28,832
You should see my room.
There’s nothing but Beatle pictures.
226
00:10:28,833 --> 00:10:31,749
They should have Beatle wallpaper.
That’s all I have on my wall.
227
00:10:31,750 --> 00:10:33,624
[girl 2] Oh, they should
just have Beatle dolls.
228
00:10:33,625 --> 00:10:35,540
[interviewer 2] Is there no
American singer you like more now?
229
00:10:35,541 --> 00:10:37,915
[crowd screams] No!
230
00:10:37,916 --> 00:10:39,832
No. They can rot for all we care.
231
00:10:39,833 --> 00:10:41,832
Oh, they’re-- They’re better
than Elvis Presley.
232
00:10:41,833 --> 00:10:43,832
- Elvis Presley's can go rot.
- Elvis Presley stinks!
233
00:10:43,833 --> 00:10:45,750
He stinks. He’s so old anyway.
234
00:10:46,625 --> 00:10:48,582
[Vickie] The words were beautiful,
235
00:10:48,583 --> 00:10:51,874
all about love and, you know,
"hold my hand,"
236
00:10:51,875 --> 00:10:56,000
and just when you're growing up,
it was just-- it was emotional.
237
00:10:56,750 --> 00:10:59,333
{\an8}It was just like a crazy love.
238
00:10:59,916 --> 00:11:01,624
{\an8}It was a crazy love.
239
00:11:01,625 --> 00:11:04,624
{\an8}And we all had different people
we loved. Like it was--
240
00:11:04,625 --> 00:11:08,208
{\an8}Mine was George,
my friend was Paul, the other one--
241
00:11:08,708 --> 00:11:11,249
Go figure. It's the spirit that puts you,
242
00:11:11,250 --> 00:11:14,125
you know, your spirit for another spirit...
243
00:11:15,166 --> 00:11:16,207
connects.
244
00:11:16,208 --> 00:11:18,583
Why we were like screaming frenzy?
245
00:11:19,208 --> 00:11:21,290
I can't really understand it now.
246
00:11:21,291 --> 00:11:25,249
But then, it was natural.
It was a natural thing to do.
247
00:11:25,250 --> 00:11:27,916
It was like
we couldn't contain ourselves.
248
00:11:29,208 --> 00:11:31,291
George likes to relax so
we bought him a pillow.
249
00:11:31,666 --> 00:11:33,832
And Paul likes to sketch
and paint so we bought him
250
00:11:33,833 --> 00:11:35,040
a sketch pad with charcoal.
251
00:11:35,041 --> 00:11:36,374
You didn't chip in for it, Alice.
252
00:11:36,375 --> 00:11:38,208
- [Alice] I know I didn't. I didn't even--
- We bought, um...
253
00:11:38,333 --> 00:11:40,250
We bought John an ID.
With our names engraved?
254
00:11:40,375 --> 00:11:41,249
Yeah.
255
00:11:41,250 --> 00:11:43,041
- And we bought, um--
- We're gonna buy--
256
00:11:43,166 --> 00:11:46,957
We bought Ringo two science fiction books.
257
00:11:46,958 --> 00:11:50,332
And we’re gonna buy him the record
“My Boyfriend Got a Beatle Haircut.”
258
00:11:50,333 --> 00:11:51,416
- [squeals]
- [chuckles softly]
259
00:11:51,583 --> 00:11:53,875
We should buy him
a pair of dark sunglasses.
260
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,457
See, we don't usually like--
We don't like rock and roll.
261
00:11:57,458 --> 00:11:59,832
- [interviewer 2] Yeah.
- But we think they're just great.
262
00:11:59,833 --> 00:12:01,124
[interviewer 2]
What's your music?
263
00:12:01,125 --> 00:12:02,874
Oh, well, um, I go to Juilliard.
264
00:12:02,875 --> 00:12:04,499
- [interviewer 2] What's this for?
- That's classical.
265
00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:06,707
- It's all classical. But I--
- [interviewer 2] Yeah, what is it?
266
00:12:06,708 --> 00:12:09,290
This is, uh, Italian arias and things,
267
00:12:09,291 --> 00:12:10,707
but I just think they're the greatest.
268
00:12:10,708 --> 00:12:13,165
[interviewer 2] They seem to be here.
Do you want to have a look?
269
00:12:13,166 --> 00:12:15,750
[crowd screaming]
270
00:12:19,458 --> 00:12:21,625
[indistinct chatter]
271
00:12:29,875 --> 00:12:32,124
[Vickie] We would go down
to the Plaza Hotel
272
00:12:32,125 --> 00:12:35,374
and they were selling,
uh, pieces of towels
273
00:12:35,375 --> 00:12:37,916
that The Beatles... [chuckles]
...that they used.
274
00:12:38,500 --> 00:12:40,708
[exhales] So, we-- we did that.
275
00:12:41,250 --> 00:12:42,291
[interviewer] Did you buy
276
00:12:42,416 --> 00:12:43,500
- a piece of towel?
- Of course.
277
00:12:44,083 --> 00:12:46,124
- I bought a piece of towel.
- [interviewer 3] Do you remember how much?
278
00:12:46,125 --> 00:12:49,040
[chuckles] It was like two dollars,
a dollar. I don't know.
279
00:12:49,041 --> 00:12:51,499
We would want our hands
on anything Beatles,
280
00:12:51,500 --> 00:12:53,707
so, you know, pieces of towel,
281
00:12:53,708 --> 00:12:57,124
photographs that are
real photographs, you know.
282
00:12:57,125 --> 00:13:00,166
So, we bought everything,
anything we could find.
283
00:13:00,875 --> 00:13:02,665
[Danny]
Everyone needed to be a Beatle
284
00:13:02,666 --> 00:13:04,499
{\an8}so they had to have a Beatle wig.
285
00:13:04,500 --> 00:13:05,957
{\an8}I don't even know
what that would look like
286
00:13:05,958 --> 00:13:07,415
{\an8}on your head. [chuckles]
287
00:13:07,416 --> 00:13:08,957
{\an8}[interviewer] You never put it on?
288
00:13:08,958 --> 00:13:10,958
{\an8}Well, yes we did.
289
00:13:11,541 --> 00:13:13,832
And not that I wore them,
but, like, these are nylons...
290
00:13:13,833 --> 00:13:16,625
[chuckles] ...that have
images of The Beatles on--
291
00:13:17,125 --> 00:13:18,582
you know, nylon stockings and--
292
00:13:18,583 --> 00:13:20,415
[interviewer] Why would you buy it?
293
00:13:20,416 --> 00:13:23,874
[chuckles] Why?
That's a good question.
294
00:13:23,875 --> 00:13:25,665
Uh, I ask myself that.
295
00:13:25,666 --> 00:13:27,374
[interviewer] And you were 10
when you bought it?
296
00:13:27,375 --> 00:13:30,790
[Danny] Yeah. And this is a dress.
I didn't wear this either.
297
00:13:30,791 --> 00:13:34,541
You can tell I didn't wear it.
Um, look at these.
298
00:13:35,250 --> 00:13:36,541
These are cool.
299
00:13:37,500 --> 00:13:38,707
Beatle sneakers.
300
00:13:38,708 --> 00:13:40,791
Look at this. Beatle talcum powder
301
00:13:41,458 --> 00:13:43,708
with the original powder inside.
302
00:13:44,250 --> 00:13:46,832
You know, we need this. [chuckles]
303
00:13:46,833 --> 00:13:49,165
They were tearing down
Shea Stadium,
304
00:13:49,166 --> 00:13:52,708
and I went to the head engineer
and I said, "Would you mind..."
305
00:13:53,750 --> 00:13:55,750
Um... [chuckles] This is wacky.
306
00:13:56,541 --> 00:13:59,207
I said, "Would you mind
cutting off my seat
307
00:13:59,208 --> 00:14:01,957
where I sat at Shea Stadium?"
And the guy said, "Yeah."
308
00:14:01,958 --> 00:14:04,915
So, like this, 39-D, is like my ticket.
309
00:14:04,916 --> 00:14:07,041
So... Obsession? Yeah.
310
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,874
- [interviewer] Have you kept memorabilia?
- I keep everything.
311
00:14:10,875 --> 00:14:13,207
- [audience laughs]
- No, I do. I'm a hoarder.
312
00:14:13,208 --> 00:14:15,374
- [audience chuckles]
- And I, you know,
313
00:14:15,375 --> 00:14:17,540
I've saved all my clothes
through the years,
314
00:14:17,541 --> 00:14:19,749
and I thought, you know,
"It always goes around,
315
00:14:19,750 --> 00:14:21,457
the kids would love this."
316
00:14:21,458 --> 00:14:23,665
But the only time
they ask me for any clothes
317
00:14:23,666 --> 00:14:25,415
is if there's a fancy dress party.
318
00:14:25,416 --> 00:14:27,290
[laughter]
319
00:14:27,291 --> 00:14:29,124
You know, they have
all the hippie stuff on.
320
00:14:29,125 --> 00:14:31,457
"Hey, we're going to a fancy dress party.
Let's ask Dad."
321
00:14:31,458 --> 00:14:33,457
- [audience chuckles]
- Would you do me a tremendous favor?
322
00:14:33,458 --> 00:14:34,999
I'm not going to kiss you
like Elizabeth Taylor.
323
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,250
[audience laughs]
324
00:14:37,208 --> 00:14:39,375
- [Scorsese] Anyway-- Oh, okay, Here we go.
- Who's this.
325
00:14:42,083 --> 00:14:44,332
[Ringo] Oh, Dougie Millings,
that's the first one.
326
00:14:44,333 --> 00:14:47,333
- Ah.
- He started making all our suits for us...
327
00:14:49,166 --> 00:14:50,957
in London. [whistles]
328
00:14:50,958 --> 00:14:53,041
I think this may even be his.
329
00:14:56,083 --> 00:14:58,500
Maybe not. This could be Mr. Fish.
330
00:15:00,041 --> 00:15:03,124
- "Hung On You." [laughs]
- [laughs]
331
00:15:03,125 --> 00:15:05,707
It's from-- It's from Hung On You.
332
00:15:05,708 --> 00:15:08,082
- King's Road was great in those days...
- [Scorsese] Yeah.
333
00:15:08,083 --> 00:15:11,374
...because it was just guys
in the back room
334
00:15:11,375 --> 00:15:13,332
- and, you know girls...
- [Scorsese] Oh, yeah.
335
00:15:13,333 --> 00:15:15,915
...designing and sewing them up
336
00:15:15,916 --> 00:15:17,833
- and, you know, we'd go around...
- [Scorsese] Yeah, yeah.
337
00:15:17,958 --> 00:15:20,583
...looking at them all,
spend the day at Ossie Clark.
338
00:15:20,708 --> 00:15:22,541
- All those people. It was great.
- My God.
339
00:15:22,791 --> 00:15:24,165
You guys sort of like New York?
340
00:15:24,166 --> 00:15:26,957
Coming into New York,
like all the old noir films?
341
00:15:26,958 --> 00:15:28,707
No, mainly for the music.
342
00:15:28,708 --> 00:15:31,874
- Ah, okay.
- I felt an octopus...
343
00:15:31,875 --> 00:15:34,207
- I'm full of octopuses.
- Yes. [chuckles]
344
00:15:34,208 --> 00:15:37,165
- Grabbing the plane and bringing me down.
- Okay.
345
00:15:37,166 --> 00:15:39,207
Yeah, it was so great. We were--
346
00:15:39,208 --> 00:15:42,290
- We were just like, "We're in America!"
- [chuckles]
347
00:15:42,291 --> 00:15:44,750
"America, New York!"
348
00:15:44,916 --> 00:15:47,500
[crowd screaming]
349
00:15:48,708 --> 00:15:51,250
I went up to the 12th floor
and they were there
350
00:15:51,500 --> 00:15:54,208
and the policeman kicked me out.
351
00:15:54,625 --> 00:15:56,000
[girl] What? No!
352
00:15:56,125 --> 00:15:57,666
I couldn't see-- The policemen--
353
00:15:58,041 --> 00:16:00,666
The policemen kicked me out
before I could get to-
354
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,250
get into see them
to give them the petition.
355
00:16:03,583 --> 00:16:04,665
[girl 2] What about the petition?
356
00:16:04,666 --> 00:16:06,375
They wouldn't let me give it to them.
357
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,665
- Can't you give it to anybody?
- [girl] No.
358
00:16:09,666 --> 00:16:11,624
Oh, darn!
359
00:16:11,625 --> 00:16:13,207
[Jamie] It was so visceral,
360
00:16:13,208 --> 00:16:15,332
the reaction to The Beatles' music.
361
00:16:15,333 --> 00:16:18,000
You know, something
we couldn't explain in words.
362
00:16:18,125 --> 00:16:19,875
That's why we screamed,
363
00:16:20,416 --> 00:16:24,707
because it was just coming out
of some nonverbal place.
364
00:16:24,708 --> 00:16:28,290
{\an8}My favorite Beatle was George Harrison,
365
00:16:28,291 --> 00:16:30,415
{\an8}because he was so handsome,
366
00:16:30,416 --> 00:16:35,916
{\an8}and he was kind of sly,
and I thought he was very sexy.
367
00:16:36,583 --> 00:16:39,708
I dreamed that I was at a dinner table,
368
00:16:40,416 --> 00:16:42,041
seated next to George.
369
00:16:42,666 --> 00:16:44,582
And George looked over
370
00:16:44,583 --> 00:16:48,000
and noticed that I was wearing a bra.
371
00:16:48,750 --> 00:16:51,999
And he leaned over
and kissed me on the cheek.
372
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,416
And when I wrote down this dream,
I wrote, "But real suction."
373
00:16:56,416 --> 00:17:00,124
Because he was so proud of me
that I was wearing a bra.
374
00:17:00,125 --> 00:17:04,624
I'm having these sort of,
you know, crush feelings
375
00:17:04,625 --> 00:17:07,499
that are associated with a later,
376
00:17:07,500 --> 00:17:09,958
more erotic stage of life.
377
00:17:10,625 --> 00:17:14,207
But the eroticism is so primitive
378
00:17:14,208 --> 00:17:16,750
that he's just giving me
this kiss on the cheek.
379
00:17:17,250 --> 00:17:21,624
Pretty soon thereafter,
I switched to John Lennon
380
00:17:21,625 --> 00:17:23,290
for the rest of time.
381
00:17:23,291 --> 00:17:26,875
What I loved about John was that he--
382
00:17:27,791 --> 00:17:29,582
he had an edge to him.
383
00:17:29,583 --> 00:17:33,665
You could tell he was
a little bit of a troublemaker.
384
00:17:33,666 --> 00:17:35,124
[interviewer] Did you see them?
385
00:17:35,125 --> 00:17:36,665
Yes, I touched Paul.
386
00:17:36,666 --> 00:17:38,874
- You did?
- Yes, I went up to him and I touched him.
387
00:17:38,875 --> 00:17:40,665
What did he say to you?
388
00:17:40,666 --> 00:17:42,332
Oh, nothing,
I just said, "Take my hand,"
389
00:17:42,333 --> 00:17:44,332
and he put his hand in mine.
390
00:17:44,333 --> 00:17:45,665
And I took it.
391
00:17:45,666 --> 00:17:47,790
- [chuckles]
- [interviewer 2] What does he feel like?
392
00:17:47,791 --> 00:17:50,207
- What does Paul feel like?
- [laughs] Oh, I don’t know.
393
00:17:50,208 --> 00:17:52,583
I was too excited. It's great!
394
00:17:53,166 --> 00:17:57,040
"I for one want to object to
this misleading assumption
395
00:17:57,041 --> 00:17:59,915
that Shakespeare's influence
is positive on each individual."
396
00:17:59,916 --> 00:18:02,125
- [John] Tell us another story, friend.
- [Paul] It's French, it's imported,
397
00:18:02,250 --> 00:18:04,458
it's Clicquot champagne. [chuckles]
398
00:18:05,500 --> 00:18:07,165
[John] Well, aren't we going out?
399
00:18:07,166 --> 00:18:08,290
Yes, later.
400
00:18:08,291 --> 00:18:11,415
[Ronnie] We were already
friends with them from England.
401
00:18:11,416 --> 00:18:13,499
George was dating Estelle,
my sister,
402
00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:15,374
so it was very simple.
403
00:18:15,375 --> 00:18:17,499
{\an8}When they got here,
first thing, pick up the phone--
404
00:18:17,500 --> 00:18:19,582
{\an8}"It's George, love.
What are you doing, love?"
405
00:18:19,583 --> 00:18:21,540
{\an8}You know? So, they right away called us
406
00:18:21,541 --> 00:18:24,082
because they knew no one in America.
407
00:18:24,083 --> 00:18:25,332
[crowd screaming]
408
00:18:25,333 --> 00:18:27,583
Hey! Ave!
409
00:18:29,083 --> 00:18:30,541
Ave!
410
00:18:30,666 --> 00:18:32,249
Who cares if they--
411
00:18:32,250 --> 00:18:33,833
[Ronnie] John called me
at my house and he said,
412
00:18:33,958 --> 00:18:36,874
"Ronnie, we're prisoners.
We can't get out.
413
00:18:36,875 --> 00:18:38,874
The whole place is surrounded by girls
414
00:18:38,875 --> 00:18:41,165
around the whole Plaza building."
415
00:18:41,166 --> 00:18:42,957
So, what did I do?
416
00:18:42,958 --> 00:18:44,999
I came down with the two Ronettes.
417
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,082
We went upstairs.
Murray the K was downstairs.
418
00:18:48,083 --> 00:18:50,332
"You gotta get me upstairs
to meet The Beatles."
419
00:18:50,333 --> 00:18:53,790
So, we're upstairs
having finger sandwiches on the floor,
420
00:18:53,791 --> 00:18:56,707
listening to 45s, having a great time
421
00:18:56,708 --> 00:18:59,083
with all the Beatles And then...
422
00:18:59,916 --> 00:19:03,332
every minute, The Supremes
came in, Jay and the Americans.
423
00:19:03,333 --> 00:19:05,582
They would say, "Damn it,
we have to get up and take pictures."
424
00:19:05,583 --> 00:19:08,124
[♪ upbeat soul music playing,
James Ray "I've Got My Mind Set On You"]
425
00:19:08,125 --> 00:19:10,290
[Ronnie] They wanted to know
everything about America:
426
00:19:10,291 --> 00:19:13,999
the food, the groups, the dancing.
427
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,165
They asked us everything
about Little Richard,
428
00:19:17,166 --> 00:19:19,999
uh, Chuck Berry, The Marvelettes.
429
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,249
You know, so, they'd say,
"What did they do on stage?"
430
00:19:22,250 --> 00:19:24,165
And I'd say, "Well,
when this one did the split,
431
00:19:24,166 --> 00:19:26,374
or when, um, Little Richard went "Whoo!"
432
00:19:26,375 --> 00:19:28,707
You know, and Paul said, "Ah! Whoo!"
433
00:19:28,708 --> 00:19:30,541
You know? So, everybody was going, "Whoo!"
434
00:19:30,666 --> 00:19:32,790
I'll tell you the truth.
They had to escape.
435
00:19:32,791 --> 00:19:35,165
They were prisoners.
So, then I got a limousine,
436
00:19:35,166 --> 00:19:37,540
we went down the back stairs
and went to Harlem.
437
00:19:37,541 --> 00:19:40,624
I said, "I'm taking you to Harlem.
Nobody will notice you up there."
438
00:19:40,625 --> 00:19:43,665
And they didn't. They thought
they were a bunch of Spanish dorks.
439
00:19:43,666 --> 00:19:44,999
Because it's Spanish Harlem.
440
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,582
So, they didn't pay them any mind.
441
00:19:46,583 --> 00:19:51,332
We went into Sherman's BARBQ,
it was called, 151st and Amsterdam.
442
00:19:51,333 --> 00:19:55,374
They went in and they loved it
because nobody recognized them.
443
00:19:55,375 --> 00:19:57,624
You know, the Black guys
are eating their ribs
444
00:19:57,625 --> 00:19:58,915
and the Spanish guys--
445
00:19:58,916 --> 00:20:01,000
And nobody paid them any attention.
446
00:20:01,583 --> 00:20:05,790
And it was great. They loved that,
that nobody paid them any attention.
447
00:20:05,791 --> 00:20:09,540
See how sweet they were? They didn't--
They didn't care about stardom so much.
448
00:20:09,541 --> 00:20:11,290
"Oh, we're going to be on Ed Sullivan."
449
00:20:11,291 --> 00:20:13,999
They said, "Ronnie, who's Ed Sullivan?"
You know? [chuckles]
450
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,290
[vehicles honking]
451
00:20:15,291 --> 00:20:16,665
[Brian Matthew] Hello, John.
452
00:20:16,666 --> 00:20:18,499
[John] Hello, Brian. Oh, hello.
453
00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:20,249
Hold on, they're putting me
in front of a mic.
454
00:20:20,250 --> 00:20:21,749
{\an8}[Brian Matthew] Yeah, that's a good idea.
455
00:20:21,750 --> 00:20:24,624
{\an8}What are your first impressions
of arrival in America?
456
00:20:24,625 --> 00:20:26,374
[John] They're wild. [chuckles]
457
00:20:26,375 --> 00:20:28,040
They're all wild. Does it seem to you?
458
00:20:28,041 --> 00:20:29,624
[Brian Matthew] Wilder than
they are here in England?
459
00:20:29,625 --> 00:20:32,457
[John] Well, It seems like it.
Maybe it's just the first impression.
460
00:20:32,458 --> 00:20:34,499
[Brian Matthew] Is there anyone
you're particularly looking forward
461
00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:36,290
to meeting in New York, Paul?
462
00:20:36,291 --> 00:20:38,540
[Paul] We met The Ronettes again tonight,
463
00:20:38,541 --> 00:20:40,665
and one of the DJs
has said he's thinking--
464
00:20:40,666 --> 00:20:42,999
He's hoping
that he can fly The Miracles in.
465
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,332
[Brian Matthew]
They're great idols of yours.
466
00:20:44,333 --> 00:20:46,165
[Paul] Great,
and The Isley Brothers are in town.
467
00:20:46,166 --> 00:20:47,665
- [George] Murray the K.
- [Paul] Fantastic, you know,
468
00:20:47,666 --> 00:20:48,915
we can't wait to see them.
469
00:20:48,916 --> 00:20:50,791
[Brian Matthew] Now, what sort
of things do they want to know
470
00:20:50,916 --> 00:20:52,041
at the press reception?
471
00:20:52,166 --> 00:20:53,999
[Paul] Oh, all things. Are we bald?
472
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,624
You know, and what do
we do with our money?
473
00:20:56,625 --> 00:20:58,957
- All the usual things.
- [Brian Matthew] You proved that you, uh,
474
00:20:58,958 --> 00:21:00,540
- don't wear wigs, I hope.
- [Paul] Yes.
475
00:21:00,541 --> 00:21:01,707
[Brian Matthew] What did you do?
476
00:21:01,708 --> 00:21:03,499
- [Paul] We took them off.
- [both laugh]
477
00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:05,666
- [Brian Matthew] Hello, George.
- Hello.
478
00:21:06,416 --> 00:21:07,915
- How are you, Brian?
- [Brian Matthew] Fine, thanks.
479
00:21:07,916 --> 00:21:09,707
- How are you?
- Uh, not so bad.
480
00:21:09,708 --> 00:21:11,582
[Brian Matthew] The first thing
you'll be doing over there
481
00:21:11,583 --> 00:21:13,082
is The Ed Sullivan Show,
isn't it?
482
00:21:13,083 --> 00:21:15,207
[George] Yeah,
we rehearse that tomorrow.
483
00:21:15,208 --> 00:21:16,874
Do the show on Sunday.
484
00:21:16,875 --> 00:21:18,957
[Brian Matthew] How many of your records
are in the American Hit Parade
485
00:21:18,958 --> 00:21:20,165
at the moment?
486
00:21:20,166 --> 00:21:22,415
You know, in New York,
487
00:21:22,416 --> 00:21:25,207
the, um-- Three records.
488
00:21:25,208 --> 00:21:27,415
Uh, "Please Please Me," "She Loves You,"
489
00:21:27,416 --> 00:21:29,791
and "I Wanna Hold Your Hand"
are all number one.
490
00:21:30,708 --> 00:21:33,208
[John in American accent]
The Huntley-Brinkley Report!
491
00:21:33,916 --> 00:21:35,790
[in normal voice]
Have you been watching the newses?
492
00:21:35,791 --> 00:21:37,457
[chuckles] No.
493
00:21:37,458 --> 00:21:38,957
[indistinct chatter]
494
00:21:38,958 --> 00:21:40,874
[host on TV] Can we please have quiet?
495
00:21:40,875 --> 00:21:42,499
- [laughter]
- [Paul shushes]
496
00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:43,790
[John] Brian?
497
00:21:43,791 --> 00:21:45,082
[George on TV] Howdy har.
498
00:21:45,083 --> 00:21:47,332
[telephone ringing]
499
00:21:47,333 --> 00:21:50,374
"Can you sing?"
Answer, "We need money first."
500
00:21:50,375 --> 00:21:51,957
- [Ringo chuckles]
- Who said that?
501
00:21:51,958 --> 00:21:55,040
- [Ringo] No monies.
- "What do you have that nobody else has?"
502
00:21:55,041 --> 00:21:56,790
Answer, "Press agents."
503
00:21:56,791 --> 00:21:59,749
[interviewer] There's something quoted
in the Daily News today saying that...
504
00:21:59,750 --> 00:22:01,082
- Daily News? What's that?
- Yeah.
505
00:22:01,083 --> 00:22:03,165
- In the New York Daily News.
- Oh, the New York one.
506
00:22:03,166 --> 00:22:06,790
He says, um, "We don't like The Beatles
because, um, they scream."
507
00:22:06,791 --> 00:22:08,290
We got over this with Elvis Presley.
508
00:22:08,291 --> 00:22:09,915
We just like them
because they're English."
509
00:22:09,916 --> 00:22:11,957
Do you think you're very English?
510
00:22:11,958 --> 00:22:14,458
I think we're jolly English, actually.
511
00:22:14,958 --> 00:22:16,790
I don't know, you know.
There's always some--
512
00:22:16,791 --> 00:22:19,290
[inhales] Somebody telling me,
"You're funny," you know.
513
00:22:19,291 --> 00:22:20,540
[interviewer] Hmm.

00:22:20,541 --> 00:22:22,207
[indistinct chatter]
515
00:22:22,208 --> 00:22:24,832
I don't care... about him anyway.

Al and Frank.
531
00:23:05,416 --> 00:23:07,790
[Queenan] There was just
this joyous quality to the music.
532
00:23:07,791 --> 00:23:10,332
I have to assume that one of the reasons
they made joyous music
533
00:23:10,333 --> 00:23:14,124
was 'cause they grew up in England
in the 1950s, which was hell.
534
00:23:14,125 --> 00:23:18,750
I mean, you know...
England was flat on its back.
535
00:23:20,375 --> 00:23:23,332
[Jack] My buddy, Eddie Leonetti,
I said to him, you know,
536
00:23:23,333 --> 00:23:26,624
"We should go to Liverpool
and really, like, do it.
537
00:23:26,625 --> 00:23:29,124
{\an8}Let's go there.
It'll be an adventure."
538
00:23:29,125 --> 00:23:32,291
{\an8}We'll bring our guitars.
We'll hang out at The Cavern.
539
00:23:32,875 --> 00:23:37,499
To get to Liverpool by tramp steamer
was 112 dollars.
540
00:23:37,500 --> 00:23:41,374
We went down the Irish Sea
and I had a little radio
541
00:23:41,375 --> 00:23:44,582
and I heard pirate radio
and I went out of my mind.
542
00:23:44,583 --> 00:23:46,790
[radio jockey]
This is Radio Caroline on 1-9-9.
543
00:23:46,791 --> 00:23:48,624
England's first commercial radio station.

[Jack] There was the real sound of Mersey.
547
00:24:06,916 --> 00:24:09,415
I said... [sniffs]
...that's Liverpool. I could smell it.
548
00:24:09,416 --> 00:24:12,999
It was really the smell
of diesel oil... [chuckles]
549
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,082
...and dirt, you know, grime.
But it was-- [inhales]
550
00:24:17,083 --> 00:24:20,833
[exhales] We pulled into port and, uh...
551
00:24:21,333 --> 00:24:22,957
and Immigration came on board.
552
00:24:22,958 --> 00:24:25,707
"And what are you two lads
doing here?"
553
00:24:25,708 --> 00:24:28,957
And we said the wrong thing.
"We've come to play."
554
00:24:28,958 --> 00:24:32,624
"Do you have a visa? At all?" "No."
555
00:24:32,625 --> 00:24:36,207
"When this boat leaves in five days,
you will be on it."
556
00:24:36,208 --> 00:24:38,541
I was in the port of Liverpool.
557
00:24:39,166 --> 00:24:40,582
You know, I had to do something.
558
00:24:40,583 --> 00:24:43,665
So that night, crew member was sleeping.
559
00:24:43,666 --> 00:24:45,624
I took his coat and his cap
560
00:24:45,625 --> 00:24:48,915
and walked down the gangplank.
Now, I'm going to escape.
561
00:24:48,916 --> 00:24:51,499
I saw a bus that said
"Central Liverpool."
562
00:24:51,500 --> 00:24:54,582
And when I got off,
and I looked across the street,
563
00:24:54,583 --> 00:24:57,207
and there was a record store,
564
00:24:57,208 --> 00:24:59,874
a brand-new album
had just been released.
565
00:24:59,875 --> 00:25:01,915
And they had listening booths.
566
00:25:01,916 --> 00:25:03,082
About six people
567
00:25:03,083 --> 00:25:05,665
who couldn't afford to buy
a record followed me in,
568
00:25:05,666 --> 00:25:08,374
so I could listen
to the record in the booth
569
00:25:08,375 --> 00:25:10,624
with these six Beatle fans,
570
00:25:10,625 --> 00:25:15,290
just dreaming and listening and thinking,
571
00:25:15,291 --> 00:25:18,165
"This record is revolutionary.
Listen to this.
572
00:25:18,166 --> 00:25:21,290
How different it is from the stuff
that came before.
573
00:25:21,291 --> 00:25:22,665

in any kind of organized
religion whatsoever.
584
00:26:06,666 --> 00:26:11,665
Music... that went to my soul
and it gave--
585
00:26:11,666 --> 00:26:15,374
And it felt to me like,
that's how you touch God.

- [Al Maysles] Where are they?
- I don't know.
590
00:26:25,416 --> 00:26:27,832
Could you just tell us
where they are so we know?
591
00:26:27,833 --> 00:26:29,707
- Oh, this is--
- [David Maysles] What are you gonna do?
592
00:26:29,708 --> 00:26:32,000
- We're just going to say hello.
- [gasps] I got a camera on me.

[Sommerville] How do you
get past the policeman?
594
00:26:34,791 --> 00:26:36,582
We didn't come downstairs.
We came in the other way.
595
00:26:36,583 --> 00:26:39,708
[girl] We came in the other way.
Through the, uh, drugstore.
596
00:26:40,708 --> 00:26:42,499
[speaks indistinctly]
597
00:26:42,500 --> 00:26:44,040
[Sommerville] What do you think

00:26:44,041 --> 00:26:45,832
[girl] They're okay. [chuckles]

00:26:45,833 --> 00:26:47,332

- Plaza Hotel.

...a Winston cigarette.

00:27:02,625 --> 00:27:04,416
Could you just tell us
where to go?
609
00:27:08,333 --> 00:27:11,249
[girl] We made it.
Ha, ha! We got up here. Ooh!
610
00:27:11,250 --> 00:27:13,082
Well, this is as far as you're going.

00:27:13,083 --> 00:27:14,374
It's okay with him.
612
00:27:14,375 --> 00:27:16,250
Who-- who said it was all right?
613
00:27:16,875 --> 00:27:18,708
[Al Maysles] No, they know, uh...
614
00:27:19,875 --> 00:27:22,124
the, uh, Epstein.
615
00:27:22,125 --> 00:27:23,749
No, I'm sorry. That's all.
616
00:27:23,750 --> 00:27:25,624
You can't go any further than here.
617
00:27:25,625 --> 00:27:28,207
[girl 2] We just really need to see them.
618
00:27:28,208 --> 00:27:30,749
No, please take the elevators
and go down right now.
619
00:27:30,750 --> 00:27:32,332
[girl] We'll have
to gather our stuff first.
620
00:27:32,333 --> 00:27:33,790
Well, where is it? What room?
621
00:27:33,791 --> 00:27:35,874
- Um, the other room around the corner.
- All right. Come on.
622
00:27:35,875 --> 00:27:38,083
I don't have a very good
memory for numbers.
623
00:27:43,333 --> 00:27:45,082
[guard] Are you registered in the hotel?
624
00:27:45,083 --> 00:27:47,000
- [girl] Yes we are.
- [guard] What room?
625
00:27:47,541 --> 00:27:49,332
[chuckles]
We don't got a room here.
626
00:27:49,333 --> 00:27:51,958
All right, come on with me.
Let's go.
627
00:27:53,500 --> 00:27:54,999
- [girl 2] Can we get our stuff?
- [security] No.
628
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,499
- Where is your stuff?
- [girl 2] In the bathroom.
629
00:27:56,500 --> 00:27:58,290
Well, get it out of there fast
630
00:27:58,291 --> 00:28:00,125
before I throw you down the stairs.
631
00:28:01,250 --> 00:28:05,040
Back in 1964, uh, after the--
632
00:28:05,041 --> 00:28:06,749
cataclysmic arrival
of The Beatles
633
00:28:06,750 --> 00:28:09,040
here in the United States
and the great popularity
634
00:28:09,041 --> 00:28:11,374
you had on the Ed Sullivan program
and others,
635
00:28:11,375 --> 00:28:13,708
there were many people who
did not really understand
636
00:28:13,833 --> 00:28:15,582
what you were doing.
And they thought then
637
00:28:15,583 --> 00:28:18,499
that your hair was long
and that you looked modish, you know...
638
00:28:18,500 --> 00:28:20,457
- Hmm.
- ...and you were revolutionary.
639
00:28:20,458 --> 00:28:23,540
Uh, does it surprise you at all
that it took so many of us
640
00:28:23,541 --> 00:28:27,375
such a long time to get into your act
and to realize what you were doing?
641
00:28:28,083 --> 00:28:29,790
Uh, no, it was mainly parents,
642
00:28:29,791 --> 00:28:32,290
and they were against
rock and roll, you know,
643
00:28:32,291 --> 00:28:34,082
anyway, before The Beatles came along.
644
00:28:34,083 --> 00:28:35,540
I mean, people have been
trying to stamp out
645
00:28:35,541 --> 00:28:37,124
rock and roll since it started.
646
00:28:37,125 --> 00:28:39,374
Why do you think that is?
What are they afraid of?
647
00:28:39,375 --> 00:28:42,249
I always thought it was
because it came from Black music.
648
00:28:42,250 --> 00:28:44,707
And the words
had a lot of double entendres
649
00:28:44,708 --> 00:28:46,000
in the early days.
650
00:28:46,625 --> 00:28:48,457
And it was sort of, you know,
651
00:28:48,458 --> 00:28:50,957
"The White kids, our White nice WASPs
652
00:28:50,958 --> 00:28:53,875
are going to go crazy with
all this moving their bodies."
653
00:28:54,541 --> 00:28:56,415
You know, and the music
got to your body.
654
00:28:56,416 --> 00:28:58,291
And The Beatles
just carried it...
655
00:28:59,125 --> 00:29:02,499
a bit further, made it
a little more White, even than Elvis did...
656
00:29:02,500 --> 00:29:04,624
- Mm-hmm.

he actually took your song,
recorded it himself,
668
00:29:49,041 --> 00:29:50,665
and put it out and had a hit with it.
669
00:29:50,666 --> 00:29:53,290
The white kids would take my record home,
670
00:29:53,291 --> 00:29:56,499
and their mothers
wouldn't want my record in the house.
671
00:29:56,500 --> 00:29:58,332
Well, they called my-- I was too raucous.
672
00:29:58,333 --> 00:30:00,790
And they said that my records
was evil and demonic,
673
00:30:00,791 --> 00:30:02,749
and that, uh, I was too wild.
674
00:30:02,750 --> 00:30:05,957
And Pat Boone had the clean-cut image
with the white bucks on.
675
00:30:05,958 --> 00:30:07,915
- Right.
- He looked like he was sent from glory...
676
00:30:07,916 --> 00:30:10,499
- [chuckles]
- ...you know, to tell a story. Uh-- uh...
677
00:30:10,500 --> 00:30:12,207
What did you think of
his version of "Tutti Frutti"?
678
00:30:12,208 --> 00:30:14,040
Uh, I thought it was very weak.
679
00:30:14,041 --> 00:30:15,707
[laughter]
680
00:30:15,708 --> 00:30:18,832
You know what I thought, Rick?
You know, I call a spade a spade.
681
00:30:18,833 --> 00:30:20,665
I thought it was weaker than weak.
682
00:30:20,666 --> 00:30:22,582
- Because he said...
- [audience laughs]
683
00:30:22,583 --> 00:30:25,290
[imitates Pat Boone]
..."Wop bop a loo bop a lop bam boom."
684
00:30:25,291 --> 00:30:28,625
And "tutti frutti, oh rootie." And I said,
685
00:30:28,750 --> 00:30:32,625
♪ Wop bop a loo bop
a lop bom bom, tutti frutti, whoo! ♪

[interviewer]
Do you like The Beatles?
688
00:30:36,583 --> 00:30:39,832
Oh, yes. I think they're very nice.
Very nice.
689
00:30:39,833 --> 00:30:41,375
What do you like about them?
690
00:30:42,083 --> 00:30:44,082
Well, they're...
691
00:30:44,083 --> 00:30:47,415
The versatility, they're--
they're original, you know.
692
00:30:47,416 --> 00:30:49,208
I like anything that's original.
693
00:30:49,791 --> 00:30:53,165
Do they compare with Smith?
Who's on at the Apollo now, Jimmy Smith?
694
00:30:53,166 --> 00:30:54,915
Comparison?
695
00:30:54,916 --> 00:30:57,750
Uh, no, I wouldn't say so.
696
00:30:58,791 --> 00:31:00,457
What do you think of The Beatles?
697
00:31:00,458 --> 00:31:02,208
I guess they're okay.
698
00:31:04,541 --> 00:31:06,541
- You like the Beatles?
- [kid 1] They're okay.
699
00:31:06,666 --> 00:31:08,207
[interviewer] What do you
think of the Beatles?
700
00:31:08,208 --> 00:31:09,832
- Oh, I love them.
- Yeah, yeah.
701
00:31:09,833 --> 00:31:11,290
Oh, I love them. They're great.
702
00:31:11,291 --> 00:31:13,374
- [chuckles]
- Especially their hairdo.
703
00:31:13,375 --> 00:31:15,415
- Yeah.
- And all their songs are nice.
704
00:31:15,416 --> 00:31:17,207
The Beatles deserve all of this.
705
00:31:17,208 --> 00:31:19,540
And I'm glad they're
very welcome here in the town.
706
00:31:19,541 --> 00:31:22,374
- Yeah, they're supposed to be--
- They deserve to be among the best.
707
00:31:22,375 --> 00:31:24,124
- At least they're different.
- Yeah.
708
00:31:24,125 --> 00:31:26,500
[passerby] Um, I think
they're disgusting, myself.
709
00:31:26,625 --> 00:31:27,707
[interviewer] Why?
710
00:31:27,708 --> 00:31:29,874
I don't know. Every time
I turn on the radio, you know,
711
00:31:29,875 --> 00:31:32,333
it seems like that's all I hear
is The Beatles.
712
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,832
- I think they're disgusting.
- Who's your favorite group?
713
00:31:35,833 --> 00:31:37,040
My favorite group?
714
00:31:37,041 --> 00:31:39,499
Well, I like
Miles Davis Quartet,
715
00:31:39,500 --> 00:31:41,332
- John Coltrane Quartet.
- Oh.
716
00:31:41,333 --> 00:31:42,832
Whereas, you know,
you couldn't--
717
00:31:42,833 --> 00:31:44,666
There's no comparison whatsoever.
718
00:31:45,458 --> 00:31:46,707
- [passerby] Seagull...
- [Seagull] Huh?
719
00:31:46,708 --> 00:31:48,750
...what do you think
is wrong with their hairstyle?
720
00:31:49,041 --> 00:31:52,166
That's the first time I've seen,
you know, a group with hair like that.
721
00:31:52,750 --> 00:31:54,915
I think that's the reason
they're making their money.
722
00:31:54,916 --> 00:31:56,665
[interviewer]
How many have you sold today?
723
00:31:56,666 --> 00:31:59,000
How many have we sold?
Oh, a couple hundred.
724
00:32:00,125 --> 00:32:01,207
They're doing all right.
725
00:32:01,208 --> 00:32:03,333
Are they in the good tradition,
do you think?
726
00:32:04,166 --> 00:32:06,582
Yeah, all right, doing very good.
727
00:32:06,583 --> 00:32:08,624
[interviewer]
What's the most popular record here today
728
00:32:08,625 --> 00:32:10,541
- in this shop?
- [shopkeeper] "I Wanna Hold Your Hand."
729
00:32:14,833 --> 00:32:19,125
Our early songs are all songs
direct to the fans.
730
00:32:19,791 --> 00:32:23,041
So, it’s all "Love Me Do,"
731
00:32:23,708 --> 00:32:25,541
"From Me To You,"
732
00:32:26,083 --> 00:32:27,957
"She Loves You."
733
00:32:27,958 --> 00:32:32,707
I think a lot of the fun we had
making the songs and the records
734
00:32:32,708 --> 00:32:34,500
communicates itself.
735
00:32:35,166 --> 00:32:37,415
{\an8}[Sananda] It was everywhere.
I just remember
736
00:32:37,416 --> 00:32:41,749
{\an8}toddlering around the house
singing, "I Wanna Hold Your Hand"
737
00:32:41,750 --> 00:32:44,124
and "She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah."
738
00:32:44,125 --> 00:32:45,875
And those songs
739
00:32:46,041 --> 00:32:48,624
were like in the carousel
of my mind on rotation.
740
00:32:48,625 --> 00:32:54,082
My stepfather was an evangelist
who later became a pastor.
741
00:32:54,083 --> 00:32:57,082
I wasn't allowed to listen
to any music in the house
742
00:32:57,083 --> 00:32:59,207
that wasn't gospel music
743
00:32:59,208 --> 00:33:01,874
or considered acceptable music.
744
00:33:01,875 --> 00:33:04,040
What's so incredible
about The Beatles,
745
00:33:04,041 --> 00:33:05,832
it would have come through the radio,
746
00:33:05,833 --> 00:33:08,124
it would have come
through just being around it,
747
00:33:08,125 --> 00:33:11,124
constantly on people's transistor radios.
748
00:33:11,125 --> 00:33:13,790
We go out to shops and you hear it.
749
00:33:13,791 --> 00:33:16,499
It was-- It just permeated that--
750
00:33:16,500 --> 00:33:18,541
It means permeated so...
751
00:33:20,125 --> 00:33:22,374
deeply beyond the crust
752
00:33:22,375 --> 00:33:25,040
of the Earth's mantle, if you will,
753
00:33:25,041 --> 00:33:27,874
that it even reached
into the lives of people who--
754
00:33:27,875 --> 00:33:30,915
for whom that music
was forbidden fruit.
755
00:33:30,916 --> 00:33:35,790
[Jane] My memory is sitting
in this place called Brothers
756
00:33:35,791 --> 00:33:37,332
and there's a jukebox.
757
00:33:37,333 --> 00:33:40,207
We're listening to
"I Wanna Hold Your Hand."
758
00:33:40,208 --> 00:33:43,915
The happiness that I felt
listening to this song
759
00:33:43,916 --> 00:33:48,165
{\an8}and, uh, feeling that I--
I really related to it.
760
00:33:48,166 --> 00:33:50,290
{\an8}I just felt immediately
a connection
761
00:33:50,291 --> 00:33:53,333
{\an8}between these people
who were singing and myself.
762
00:33:53,916 --> 00:33:56,290
And I had never felt
that kind of connection before
763
00:33:56,291 --> 00:33:58,040
to a pop song.
764
00:33:58,041 --> 00:34:02,040
I didn't understand Elvis.
The sexuality turned me off.
765
00:34:02,041 --> 00:34:04,082
I didn't get it somehow.
766
00:34:04,083 --> 00:34:06,082
It didn't touch my heart.
767
00:34:06,083 --> 00:34:08,874
I felt in some way
that I could relax...
768
00:34:08,875 --> 00:34:11,040
[chuckles]
...because the Beatles existed.
769
00:34:11,041 --> 00:34:13,999
They were definitely boys,
but they were soft.
770
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,707
They were-- There was
their clothing and their hair.
771
00:34:18,708 --> 00:34:21,207
There was a softness,
often, in their voices.
772
00:34:21,208 --> 00:34:25,124
The whole notion of male
versus female is not prominent.
773
00:34:25,125 --> 00:34:28,457
They're--
they're sort of in between,
774
00:34:28,458 --> 00:34:30,582
or they don't emphasize
the, you know,
775
00:34:30,583 --> 00:34:32,999
the masculine
versus the feminine at all.
776
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,415
It's--
It's very inclusive in some way.
777

778
00:34:38,875 --> 00:34:41,165
[photographer] Oh, come on,
come on. I got an idea.
779
00:34:41,166 --> 00:34:44,707
[George] The Beatles were very--
I mean, they actually were funny.
780
00:34:44,708 --> 00:34:47,665
Everybody in Liverpool thinks
they're a comedian.
781
00:34:47,666 --> 00:34:49,582
I mean, that's a well-known fact.
782
00:34:49,583 --> 00:34:51,540
And all you have to do
is drive up there
783
00:34:51,541 --> 00:34:54,374
and go through the Mersey Tunnel
and the guy on the toll booth
784
00:34:54,375 --> 00:34:56,666
is a comedian, you know. They all are.
785
00:34:57,416 --> 00:35:03,790
Um, we had that kind of
bred and born into us
786
00:35:03,791 --> 00:35:07,415
and, uh, when you just transposed it
into New York or somewhere,
787
00:35:07,416 --> 00:35:09,332
it was-- it was great.
788
00:35:09,333 --> 00:35:11,457
I mean, we were
just being hard-faced, really,
789
00:35:11,458 --> 00:35:13,499
and, uh, they loved it.
790
00:35:13,500 --> 00:35:16,040
[interviewer] And do you think
it was being made even stronger
791
00:35:16,041 --> 00:35:18,707
by the fact there were four
of you bouncing off one another?
792
00:35:18,708 --> 00:35:19,999
Absolutely, yeah.
793
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:24,540
You just dried up and somebody else
was already there with another fab quip.
794
00:35:24,541 --> 00:35:27,290

That's right. That's it.

when they recorded
"You Really Got a Hold on Me."

00:40:05,916 --> 00:40:07,915

going to record it.

But I was elated. [chuckles]
906
00:40:12,125 --> 00:40:15,208
They were the first White group
that I had ever heard in my life.
907

ever of their magnitude
908

Not anyone of magnitude,
until The Beatles said that.
914
00:40:35,125 --> 00:40:37,207
There was a lot of segregation going on,
915
00:40:37,208 --> 00:40:40,249
especially in the South
at that time for shows.
916
00:40:40,250 --> 00:40:42,875
I've been shot at
for wanting to go to the toilet.
917
00:40:43,083 --> 00:40:46,040
You know what I mean?
So, it was like that. You know?
918
00:40:46,041 --> 00:40:50,250
And the saving grace
was the music.
919
00:40:50,916 --> 00:40:53,540
Because it gave those kids
a common love.
920
00:40:53,541 --> 00:40:56,040
It gave them something
that they both loved
921
00:40:56,041 --> 00:40:58,040
and they both enjoyed,
you know?
922
00:40:58,041 --> 00:41:00,874
So when we first started going there,
we would play these big arenas,
923
00:41:00,875 --> 00:41:03,457
and there'll be a rope
down the center of the arena
924
00:41:03,458 --> 00:41:06,124
and White kids on one side,
Black kids on the other side.

And after they start hearing the music,
926
00:41:08,375 --> 00:41:10,290

00:41:10,291 --> 00:41:13,999

have something to do with it,

The Beatles sexually attractive

[Benson] It was an incredible time
because they had these songs
1509
01:09:51,583 --> 01:09:54,041
basically vomiting out of them.

On the way out to America,
they were telling jokes
1512
01:10:04,041 --> 01:10:08,165
in the first half of the trip,
but then they got serious
1513
01:10:08,166 --> 01:10:13,540
because they weren't sure
what kind of reception.
1514
01:10:13,541 --> 01:10:16,915
They were a bit apprehensive.
They were a bit worried.
1515
01:10:16,916 --> 01:10:21,166
Part of it was because John,
he read the papers.
1516
01:10:21,833 --> 01:10:25,749
He was a bit afraid.
He used to speak about,
1517
01:10:25,750 --> 01:10:28,625
of all things,
Lee Harvey Oswald.
1518
01:10:29,750 --> 01:10:33,540
You know? He would speak
about the Kennedy assassination.
1519
01:10:33,541 --> 01:10:37,749
He was a bit worried
of violence here, you know.
1520
01:10:37,750 --> 01:10:41,249
He said, "Oh, it can change,
Harry, it can change,

"going from a good situation
into a bad one."

Because we’d never done
that kind of a show before,

[Benson] The British Embassy
gave them a cocktail party.
1537
01:11:28,458 --> 01:11:33,582
And the British Ambassador
welcomed them very warmly,
1538
01:11:33,583 --> 01:11:39,707
except the staff of the embassy
treated them terrible.
1539
01:11:39,708 --> 01:11:41,582
They were calling them scruff,
1540
01:11:41,583 --> 01:11:45,499
and the Beatles
were in shock about it.
1541
01:11:45,500 --> 01:11:48,707
That some of the staff
would call them yobbos,
1542
01:11:48,708 --> 01:11:53,374
and say disrespectful remarks
1543
01:11:53,375 --> 01:11:54,916

that George Harrison
were near tears.

[Paul]
We kind of got used to it.
1546
01:12:01,833 --> 01:12:03,457
We're working-class guys.
1547
01:12:03,458 --> 01:12:05,499
If you came up
against posh people,
1548
01:12:05,500 --> 01:12:08,707
you figured they're gonna
probably look down on you.
1549
01:12:08,708 --> 01:12:10,290
But you know what?
1550
01:12:10,291 --> 01:12:13,290
We didn't give a flying fuck.
1551
01:12:13,291 --> 01:12:17,332

1554
01:12:22,083 --> 01:12:24,207
people were sort of touching us
as we walked past,
1555
01:12:24,208 --> 01:12:25,999
that kind of thing,
and whatever.
1556
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:29,332
We were supposed to put up

The chances of your understanding
anything going on
1565
01:12:50,791 --> 01:12:52,165
in your own time are very small,
1566
01:12:52,166 --> 01:12:56,332

1567
01:12:56,333 --> 01:13:01,541
Artists are people who, uh,
enjoy living in the present.
1568
01:13:02,166 --> 01:13:06,499
{\an8}I was in high school.
I lived in Alexandria, Virginia.
1569
01:13:06,500 --> 01:13:11,499
{\an8}I was into rock and roll music,
mainly Elvis Presley
1570
01:13:11,500 --> 01:13:15,625
who brought rock and roll music
to the world, uh, to me anyway.
1571
01:13:16,250 --> 01:13:18,791
I ended up going
to this concert.
1572
01:13:19,666 --> 01:13:23,332
I didn't really have any idea
that it was the first concert.
1573
01:13:23,333 --> 01:13:25,707
I didn't. I don't know.
1574
01:13:25,708 --> 01:13:30,165
And it was-- I didn't have
any idea how big this event was.
1575
01:13:30,166 --> 01:13:35,165
And it was in a gigantic place
where they had boxing matches.
1576
01:13:35,166 --> 01:13:37,124
The Beatles
were in the boxing ring.
1577
01:13:37,125 --> 01:13:39,625
It was so loud,
you can't believe.

It was phenomenal.

Music is the most-- one of
the most fantastic things.
1581
01:13:51,041 --> 01:13:56,165
Almost like fire, and water,
and... and air. [chuckles]

It's like, it's like a thing.
1583
01:13:59,208 --> 01:14:03,791
And, um, it does so much.
1584
01:14:04,708 --> 01:14:06,875
It does a thing
for the intellect,
1585
01:14:07,416 --> 01:14:09,375
it does a thing
for the emotions.
1586
01:14:10,208 --> 01:14:13,874
And a certain kind of music
1587
01:14:13,875 --> 01:14:17,374
can swell the heart
to almost burst.

[Sananda] When the Beatles came with
that palpable energy of joy.
1621
01:16:23,500 --> 01:16:26,625
This was something that you wanted
very much to be a part of.
1622
01:16:28,375 --> 01:16:32,375
That's my church.
The church of rock and roll.
1623
01:16:32,958 --> 01:16:36,582
There was where
the foundation of my faith lied
1624
01:16:36,583 --> 01:16:39,666
in the power of music
to transform lives.
1625
01:16:39,791 --> 01:16:42,207
And I feel that
as a son of the Beatles,
1626
01:16:42,208 --> 01:16:46,833
I owe them a significant portion
of why I'm here.
1627
01:16:46,958 --> 01:16:49,457
I should also curse
those bitches because
1628
01:16:49,458 --> 01:16:52,375
it's also so much suffering
that we artists go through
1629
01:16:53,166 --> 01:16:55,165
because of Pied Pipers
like the Beatles,
1630
01:16:55,166 --> 01:16:58,125
who say, "Come on, come on,
come on. You can do it."
1631
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:02,332
The elixir that they put
together is so profound,
1632
01:17:02,333 --> 01:17:03,957
it wasn't just about the songs.
1633
01:17:03,958 --> 01:17:08,749
It was the energy that the songs
were carrying forward.
1634
01:17:08,750 --> 01:17:11,707
[Jack] I sound like
a crazy fanatic fan,
1635
01:17:11,708 --> 01:17:14,249
but it was so important to me
1636
01:17:14,250 --> 01:17:17,124
to feel where
that music came from.
1637
01:17:17,125 --> 01:17:19,665
I wanted to be able
to share that...
1638
01:17:19,666 --> 01:17:21,750
to able to play it.
1639
01:17:21,875 --> 01:17:24,790
So, I went
into the Liverpool Echo,
1640
01:17:24,791 --> 01:17:26,790
and I told the receptionist,
1641
01:17:26,791 --> 01:17:29,249
I said,
"I'm an American musician
1642
01:17:29,250 --> 01:17:32,500
being held captive
on a ship in the harbor."
1643
01:17:33,208 --> 01:17:35,040
They put us
right on the front page.
1644
01:17:35,041 --> 01:17:37,874
The next day,
the Echo had hired these girls,
1645
01:17:37,875 --> 01:17:40,040
and they came down,
and they marched up and down
1646
01:17:40,041 --> 01:17:43,832
in front of the ship
with signs that said, "Free the Yanks."
1647
01:17:43,833 --> 01:17:47,250
Immigration came back on board,
and they said to us,
1648
01:17:48,208 --> 01:17:52,582
"We don't know how you did this.
But people are calling us."
1649
01:17:52,583 --> 01:17:54,165
They're... they're like...

"How could you do this?
1651
01:17:55,791 --> 01:17:59,665
These poor musicians, they just
come here from America. Kids."
1652
01:17:59,666 --> 01:18:03,999
And so, they said, "We're gonna
give you a 60-day student visa,
1653
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:05,499
but no playing."
1654
01:18:05,500 --> 01:18:07,749
So, we got
in a band immediately.
1655
01:18:07,750 --> 01:18:12,374
And we played, we hung out
at the original Cavern Club.
1656
01:18:12,375 --> 01:18:13,957
It was intoxicating.
1657
01:18:13,958 --> 01:18:17,207
You could feel that the Beatles
had been on this stage
1658
01:18:17,208 --> 01:18:19,040
not that long ago.
1659
01:18:19,041 --> 01:18:22,374
Around 11 o'clock after some
little gig we played in a pub,
1660
01:18:22,375 --> 01:18:24,040
this guy came up to us and said,
1661
01:18:24,041 --> 01:18:27,791
"Aren't you the two Yanks
in the papers?"
1662
01:18:28,416 --> 01:18:29,749
"Yeah, that's us."
1663
01:18:29,750 --> 01:18:32,207
"Well, my friend is parked
around the corner,
1664
01:18:32,208 --> 01:18:34,499
and he'd love
to get an autograph."
1665
01:18:34,500 --> 01:18:38,124
"No problem."
We walk around the corner,
1666
01:18:38,125 --> 01:18:40,040
it was immigration police.
1667
01:18:40,041 --> 01:18:43,625
They threw us on the first ship
in steerage back to New York.
1668
01:18:47,875 --> 01:18:49,582

[Jools] You played
at Carnegie Hall

01:21:21,500 --> 01:21:23,124
- [Paul] Hmm.
- [Jools] Is that an unusual place?
1723
01:21:23,125 --> 01:21:24,665
We did some nice gigs like that.
1724
01:21:24,666 --> 01:21:28,124
I think this was kinda probably
Brian's management skill.
1725
01:21:28,125 --> 01:21:31,124
Brian was a clever guy,
and he was a showbiz guy.
1726
01:21:31,125 --> 01:21:35,165
People forget he went to RADA.
So, he tried to be an actor.
1727
01:21:35,166 --> 01:21:37,540
You know, in other words,
he wanted to actually be on the stage.
1728
01:21:37,541 --> 01:21:39,207
So, when he was watching us,
1729
01:21:39,208 --> 01:21:41,124
I think we could be
his alter egos.
1730
01:21:41,125 --> 01:21:43,790
So, we would play
some funny places
1731
01:21:43,791 --> 01:21:45,499
like Carnegie Hall.
1732
01:21:45,500 --> 01:21:48,999
I think it was just 'cause
Brian saw an angle,
1733
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:52,124
saw a certain sort of irony
in the great hallowed hall,
1734
01:21:52,125 --> 01:21:54,749

1735
01:21:54,750 --> 01:21:57,915

at Carnegie Hall,
1740
01:22:13,208 --> 01:22:16,749
said, "Mr. Bernstein, what are
these British boys about?"
1741
01:22:16,750 --> 01:22:19,583
I said,
"They're a British phenomenon."
1742
01:22:20,541 --> 01:22:24,749
Now, they weren't expecting
1743
01:22:24,750 --> 01:22:27,916
what they heard and saw
months later.
1744
01:22:28,666 --> 01:22:32,125
And after the afternoon concert,
we had two.
1745
01:22:32,958 --> 01:22:34,333
Mrs. Tesku said,
1746
01:22:34,875 --> 01:22:38,957
"Mr. Bernstein, I thought
when you said they are four boys
1747
01:22:38,958 --> 01:22:40,624
who are a British phenomenon,"
1748
01:22:40,625 --> 01:22:43,583
she said, "I thought
they were a string ensemble."
1749
01:22:47,208 --> 01:22:51,416
She said, "Please, don't ever
come back here again."
1750
01:22:53,375 --> 01:22:56,749
Four months later,
after lots of bouquets,
1751
01:22:56,750 --> 01:23:00,208
and some boxes of flowers
to make amends,
1752
01:23:01,500 --> 01:23:04,250
I got her to accept
the Rolling Stones.
1753
01:23:05,083 --> 01:23:09,874
After that one, she says, "Don't
ever come back. Ever, ever."

I can be tender,
and I can be sensitive,

I just missed it in 1940.

That's why I'm not singing.
1987

[George] What chance have I had
of tuning it up?
1988
01:35:51,625 --> 01:35:53,791
Very crummy guitar anyway.
1989
01:35:57,375 --> 01:35:58,416
Yeah.
1990

[Tedeschi] What would you say
1991

if they were here today?
1992
01:36:09,125 --> 01:36:10,708
I would say, "I love you."
1993
01:36:11,666 --> 01:36:14,458
'Cause growing up in Liverpool,
you never said that.
1994
01:36:15,125 --> 01:36:17,207
You never told a guy
you loved him.
1995
01:36:17,208 --> 01:36:19,165
Unless he was like
your brother or something.
1996
01:36:19,166 --> 01:36:20,458

Good evening, sir. [chuckles]

Wow, look who's here. [chuckles]
2001
01:36:39,166 --> 01:36:40,790
You're on our flight?
2002
01:36:40,791 --> 01:36:42,250
[Epstein] Yeah.
2003
01:36:43,750 --> 01:36:45,207
[Ringo] And where are you going?

- You're goofballs.
2005

Leave us alone. [laughs] Leave us alone.
2006
01:36:53,791 --> 01:36:57,040
[David Maysles] Uh...
push the drape back a little bit. Look.
2007
01:36:57,041 --> 01:36:59,249
[Jack] I got a job
down at the Record Plant
2008
01:36:59,250 --> 01:37:01,082
and worked my way up.
2009
01:37:01,083 --> 01:37:04,041
Me, editor. Now, I go in there.
2010
01:37:04,750 --> 01:37:08,624
Um, it's the "Imagine" album.
I'm in here with these tapes.
2011
01:37:08,625 --> 01:37:10,415
It's all fucking magical.
2012
01:37:10,416 --> 01:37:12,749
And the door opens up,
2013
01:37:12,750 --> 01:37:15,208
and there's Lennon
standing in the doorway.
2014
01:37:15,916 --> 01:37:18,415
And he looks at me and he says,
"Do you mind if I come in here
2015
01:37:18,416 --> 01:37:20,374
and just hang out
for a little bit?"
2016
01:37:20,375 --> 01:37:22,708
'Cause it was quiet in my room.
2017
01:37:23,416 --> 01:37:26,374
And my... [chuckles]
And my heart, I almost peed myself.
2018
01:37:26,375 --> 01:37:30,874
There he was in person.
And he said, "Can I sit down?"
2019
01:37:30,875 --> 01:37:35,749
And just, I said, "By all means.
I'm the guy editing your stuff."
2020
01:37:35,750 --> 01:37:38,540
He said, "Yeah, yeah. Thank you.
You're doing a great job."
2021
01:37:38,541 --> 01:37:41,624
And he sat on the other side
of a console.
2022
01:37:41,625 --> 01:37:43,624
And then finally,
after a few minutes,
2023
01:37:43,625 --> 01:37:45,791
I said to him,
"I've been to Liverpool."
2024
01:37:46,500 --> 01:37:48,332
Now, his head popped up.
2025
01:37:48,333 --> 01:37:51,333
And he looked at me, and
he said, "Where are you from?"
2026
01:37:51,875 --> 01:37:55,458
I said, "I'm born and raised,
really, in New York, New York area."
2027
01:37:56,291 --> 01:37:59,915
"So, why, uh, would you
want to go to Liverpool?
2028
01:37:59,916 --> 01:38:02,374
Everybody there
wants to come here,
2029
01:38:02,375 --> 01:38:04,332
including me. I'm here now."
2030
01:38:04,333 --> 01:38:09,832
You know, um, "And it's not a great place,
like, not a tourist spot."
2031
01:38:09,833 --> 01:38:12,332
No, I said, "No, I was a musician,
2032
01:38:12,333 --> 01:38:15,666
and... and everything was happening there.
2033
01:38:16,291 --> 01:38:20,665
The music for me was... that was the source.
2034
01:38:20,666 --> 01:38:23,374
So, he said, "Well, how did that
work out for you?"
2035
01:38:23,375 --> 01:38:25,165
And I said,
"Well, good and bad."
2036
01:38:25,166 --> 01:38:27,791
I said, "Bad, I was deported."
2037
01:38:28,416 --> 01:38:31,540
He looked at me and I said,
"But good, I made a lot of noise
2038
01:38:31,541 --> 01:38:33,541
before they threw me out."
2039
01:38:34,083 --> 01:38:35,916
And he looked at me,
and he said...
2040
01:38:37,250 --> 01:38:40,791
"Were you one of those two
crazy Yanks that were in all the papers?"
2041
01:38:41,583 --> 01:38:43,750
And I said, "Yeah, that was me."
2042
01:38:44,666 --> 01:38:47,957
He said, "We release a record,
2043
01:38:47,958 --> 01:38:51,499
and in our hometown paper,
you were on the front page."
2044
01:38:51,500 --> 01:38:53,249
I said, "Sorry about that."
2045
01:38:53,250 --> 01:38:57,040
He goes, "No, no, we had
all a good laugh about it."
2046
01:38:57,041 --> 01:38:59,582
He said,
"This is really amazing."
2047
01:38:59,583 --> 01:39:01,708
He said,
"Of all the places I come...
2048
01:39:02,875 --> 01:39:07,665
I run into this guy that
we kind of had a feeling for.
2049
01:39:07,666 --> 01:39:09,540
So, what do you do?"
2050
01:39:09,541 --> 01:39:11,249
"I-- I'm editing this."
2051
01:39:11,250 --> 01:39:14,208
He goes, "Nah, you're one
of the engineers now."
2052
01:39:14,708 --> 01:39:19,374
I asked him once, I said, "Why,
of all the people you could ask
2053
01:39:19,375 --> 01:39:21,457
to produce you, why me?"
2054
01:39:21,458 --> 01:39:23,000
And he went like this.
2055
01:39:23,666 --> 01:39:27,250
I said, "What's that?" He said,
"Good antenna. That's all it takes."
2056
01:39:28,583 --> 01:39:33,249
[Jamie] I can't listen to the Beatles
in a casual way.

and just put my head down,
2061

and wait for it to be over.
It's like I can't think,
2062
01:39:46,416 --> 01:39:50,124
I can't live
if Beatles music comes on.
2063
01:39:50,125 --> 01:39:51,958
It's too personal.
2064
01:39:53,625 --> 01:39:58,416
Van Morrison always talks
about music as healing.
2065
01:40:01,125 --> 01:40:02,833
That's what music does.

a little bit what the effect was and
2085
01:40:58,208 --> 01:41:00,415
its value, its lifestyle,
and all that.
2086
01:41:00,416 --> 01:41:02,500
You said that there was
almost nothing left of Beatles.

Well, yeah, I get bitter, too,
you know.
2088
01:41:05,875 --> 01:41:10,250

the insistence that the Beatles led...

something, you know.
2090
01:41:12,500 --> 01:41:14,540
And if anything, they were
figureheads, you know.
2091

2092

was the insistence that we led
something, you know.

You know, maybe The Stones
were up there, too, or whoever,

01:44:22,166 --> 01:44:24,540
{\an8}George, what is the Liverpool sound?
2143
01:44:24,541 --> 01:44:27,332
{\an8}[George] Oh, it's more like the old rock.
2144
01:44:27,333 --> 01:44:29,749
{\an8}It's just, you know,
everything's a bit louder.
2145
01:44:29,750 --> 01:44:33,166
{\an8}More bass and bass drum.
2146
01:44:33,333 --> 01:44:35,457
But we don't like to call it anything,
2147
01:44:35,458 --> 01:44:38,749
but the critics, you know,
they have to call it something.
2148
01:44:38,750 --> 01:44:40,458
[interviewer] Uh, Ringo here.
Now, you're the drummer.
2149
01:44:40,583 --> 01:44:43,374
We caught your act at
the Olympia the other evening.
2150
01:44:43,375 --> 01:44:45,415
How long have you been
beating those skins?
2151
01:44:45,416 --> 01:44:47,583
[Ringo]
Oh, about five years now.
2152
01:44:47,750 --> 01:44:49,374
{\an8}[interviewer]
How about the French girls
2153
01:44:49,375 --> 01:44:51,374
{\an8}compared to the British girls?
2154
01:44:51,375 --> 01:44:52,832
{\an8}[Ringo] Oh, we haven't seen any yet.
2155
01:44:52,833 --> 01:44:53,957
{\an8}[laughter]
2156
01:44:53,958 --> 01:44:56,249
[George chuckles] I think
they don't let the girls out
2157
01:44:56,250 --> 01:44:57,624
at night.
2158
01:44:57,625 --> 01:44:59,582
[interviewer] Let's ask John Lennon this.
2159
01:44:59,583 --> 01:45:01,874
Do all your songs have a basic theme
2160
01:45:01,875 --> 01:45:03,416
or story or message?
2161
01:45:03,708 --> 01:45:05,416
[John] Um, no.
2162
01:45:05,625 --> 01:45:07,582
{\an8}[interviewer chuckles]
Well, that's a quick one.
2163
01:45:07,583 --> 01:45:09,374
{\an8}[Paul] That was a quick answer!
2164
01:45:09,375 --> 01:45:11,249
{\an8}[interviewer] Since you boys
have gained, uh,
2165
01:45:11,250 --> 01:45:12,666
{\an8}your current popularity,
2166
01:45:12,791 --> 01:45:15,624
{\an8}have there been many other organizations
trying to imitate you
2167
01:45:15,625 --> 01:45:18,790
{\an8}or perhaps take the, uh,
thunder away from you?
2168
01:45:18,791 --> 01:45:21,790
{\an8}[John] Uh... Well, I suppose,
a couple of people
2169
01:45:21,791 --> 01:45:24,749
{\an8}have jumped on the, uh...
railway carriage.
2170
01:45:24,750 --> 01:45:28,290
[chuckles] I mean, the bandwagon.
But it doesn't really matter, you know,
2171
01:45:28,291 --> 01:45:30,290
because it's flattery and--
2172
01:45:30,291 --> 01:45:33,041
and it sort of promotes the whole idea
2173
01:45:33,291 --> 01:45:35,874
of us if we're away,
and there's a few little Beatles
2174
01:45:35,875 --> 01:45:38,582
still going to remind people of us.
2175
01:45:38,583 --> 01:45:39,875
[interviewer]
Well, Paul, what do you think
2176
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:41,124
of your trip to the States?
2177
01:45:41,125 --> 01:45:43,374
I understand in about
a week or ten days
2178
01:45:43,375 --> 01:45:44,832
you're going to be
on The Ed Sullivan Show.
2179
01:45:44,833 --> 01:45:45,916
[Paul] Yeah, that's right.
2180
01:45:46,041 --> 01:45:48,499
We're gonna do Ed Sullivan's
show in New York.
2181
01:45:48,500 --> 01:45:52,083
And we're taping one
for later release, or something.
2182
01:45:52,250 --> 01:45:53,540
And we're looking forward to those,
2183
01:45:53,541 --> 01:45:56,416
then we go down to Florida, Miami.
2184
01:45:56,916 --> 01:45:59,749
Can't wait. And we do
another Ed Sullivan there,
2185
01:45:59,750 --> 01:46:02,540
{\an8}but I think before that we do,
uh, Carnegie Hall, don't we?
2186
01:46:02,541 --> 01:46:03,624
{\an8}[bandmates] Yeah.
2187
01:46:03,625 --> 01:46:05,957
{\an8}[interviewer] Perhaps when you get to
The Ed Sullivan Show
2188
01:46:05,958 --> 01:46:07,874
there will be, uh, more girls for you.
2189
01:46:07,875 --> 01:46:09,832
- [George] Ah, hope so.
- [John] Hope so. Yeah.
2190
01:46:09,833 --> 01:46:13,000
{\an8}[interviewer] So, it's on the line.
Back to you, Jim, from Paris.
