More like smelly ol' 60s 😣 I lived through the smelly ol' 70s as a kid and it was horrible to have to endure the constant stench of cigarettes around you... never got used to it!
When George talked about how they didn’t realize how much Beatlemania had hit Britain while they were on tour, I thought - wow, that definitely wouldn’t happen these days because you can easily follow things from all over the world.
The same thing happened to Nirvana. America was going crazy for them while they were over touring Europe and they didn't really believe it was as big as people were saying until they got home.
Ringo had a bad case of tonsillitis, which is why he was absent in the Australia interview. Jimmie Nicol was the fill-in drummer. Ringo rejoined the group in Melbourne and Jimmie headed back home.
At 3:21 Paul asks the Ringo girl-look-alike if she wants a cigarette - she declines but when she faces him she smiles and her eyes light up - very sweet moment - another nice moment is when John offered her his seat so she could sit down.
Poor Jimmy Nicol looks so uncomfortable here but he's casting furtive glances at George. Btw George in most interviews has the least attention span of what's going on.
I've noticed that Paul bites his nails in this video, and in other videos he has his hand near is mouth a lot. I guess it was a nervous response during these interviews 😬
That was so sweet of John to give up his seat for that young woman Beatles fan and stand for some time. Paul, George and Ringo obviously didn't do that.
It might be because calling it an act kinda implies they are merely performers and not the creatives (yes, I'm making it a noun) that they actually were. But also John often displayed a lot of insecurities and probably took it harder than he should have.
If Faul McCartney or Billy Shears (accroding to Paul Is Dead conspirasists) wrote Blackbird, Hey Jude and Let It Be, then we are happy with Faul McCartney. Thank you very much.
@@Adrijabhattacharya778 Amazing how they werer able to find someone who not only looks like him, he also has a four and a half octave vocal range with the EXACT same tone, he's a bass master, and a songwriting genius! crazy coincidence.
vk3ase thank you for the reply, I have a picture of my great grandad, graeme Edwin (Boyd) at a press conference, with the Beatles, at the south Australian hotel. In 1964. It’s not from this particular press conference but maybe one after.
That was Jimmy Nichol, one of the many 5th Beatles. He filled in for Ringo during his flare up of throat problems which happened because his family could not afford to have his tonsils removed when he was young.. Had England instituted National Heath in the 1930s, instead of after World War II, young Richard Starke could have had the surgery when he needed it. Thank goodness the much criticized socialized medicine finally came about, or there would have been no Ringo.
@@brianarbenz7206 Oh thanks for the information. I can't imagine a World without drummer Ringo Starr. It is too terrifying to even think of. Thank God he got his tonsils removed with surgery.
