The film footage is from the ICONIC August 15, 1965 concert at Shea Stadium in NYC. The attendance was 55,600 screaming kids! This concert was the peak of Beatlemania.
You need to remember, there really wasn’t anything like this at the time. It was ground breaking. If you take the journey from this period to Let It Be, you’ll see how they grew and the music matured.
The great achievement of the Beatles is, apart from being great composers, is the fact that the melody lines and chord progressions were the ones who included and used them in popular music and rock and roll. Listening to the Beatles in the 21st century is listening to what everyone does now, but they were the ones who were in charge of laying the foundations for what everyone listens to now. Greetings
Recommending a specific song is difficult, because 8 Day's a Week represents only a small aspect of the Beatles, who explored 15+ different genres in their discography, some quite innovative. As an example of the range, one can listen to PS, I love you and then Helter skelter...
it was called "Beatlemania" ... the power of music... I suggest you watch them perform a song called "She Loves You" at the ABC Cinema in Manchester UK in 1963... you will see real Beatlemania if you do
John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo star, that's the beatles..*oh darling* would be a good next song, but you almost need to listen to a whole album to really get a feel for the beatles diversity in music..great job tho..
John Lennon's voice is definitely nasal, but Paul McCartney's voice is more clean and melodic. But, when they sang and harmonized together, it was MAGIC. For more great harmonies listen to "We Can Work it Out." This one is sang by Paul with John taking lead on the bridge. It's brilliant!
Released in the US as a single in Feb.1965.Another #1 hit... The film shows The Beatles on August 15, 1965 playing to 56,000 crazed fans at Shea Stadium in NYC.
If you want to hear some classic Beatles harmonies, I'd recommend "Paperback Writer" and "Because"... well, just about any song that has more than one of them singing on the track.
The female hysteria (old fashioned word) at the time was Off the Charts! Those who were able to attend the few concerts in the U.S. were swept up in the craziness and euphoria, as you easily saw. For us boys... ha!.. it was confusing, but verrrrry interesting !!
If I Fell is a perfect example of Paul and John’s beautiful and melodic harmonies. They progressed so quickly in their craft and the songs went from relatively simple (like this one) to highly complex in just a few years. Welcome to the journey!
the best Beatles Concert ( Utube ) I know of is from Australia, 1964. about the time the great film ' Hard days Night' was released. 30 min or so , including extra songs apparently violating contract rules, the back room guys did great letting the tape roll. and real good vid / audio quality. this is a LP playing, background film. see excerpts of ' Ed Sullivan show' US TV for 'beatlemania'
The Beatles' popularity soared worldwide after they first came to America in February 1964. Within two months after that visit, they owed the top five positions on the Billboards Top 100 list in record sales. This feat has been held to this day, and it is unlikely it will ever be broken.
The name of the Japanese group is Number_i. Please listen to their debut song Goat, and their RU-vid music video has been listened to 30 million times in less than a month. THANK YOU❤️
If you want an example of EXQUISITE harmonies from the Beatles, I recommend "Nowhere Man"....or "Elenor Rigby". You won't believe how clever they were, as vocalists. And they ushered in an entire wave of new music, known as the British Invasion. Literally DOZENS of excellent bands from the UK came here, capitalizing on Beatlemania, and they were all outstanding. The Hollies, Chad and Jermey, Petula Clark....dozens more, completely changed pop music in a matter of a few years.
There's a clear path between this and the later Rubber Soul and Revolver albums. As George said, everything changed in November 66 and "it became just a job". Lennon became openly bitter and cynical. Then came Billy Shears...............
Hello beauty, pls consider reacting to my fav song "Yer Blues". It's Beatles song, but I recommend you version by The Dirty Mac. It was a supergroup made by Lennon, Richards, Clapton and Mitchell.Cheers!
They hated the song because they couln't create the intro on their own, so they relegated it to a regular LP song. In USA they discovered it as a gem and sell it as a single. It was a smash!
“Blue Jay Way”😅 The Beatles were always a step ahead of everyone else and had several defining styles. All between’64 and ‘70. A next step would be Ticket to Ride.
