Two 23-year olds, and two 21-year olds. They set the musical status quo on its ass and inspired millions, and do to this day. They never fail to make me happy. 🇬🇧
Wow!! U did so well with figuring up their ages. I just figured it up also. It’s a little hard to get it their ages figured out just EXACTLY, because it hard to know, what ages Ringo and Paul were, because they were filming “A Hard Day’s Night” right after they came over to the USA, in 1964. They maybe started filming the movie in Mar or Apr of that yr. and don’t know when, exactly, it was completed. Paul was 23yrs before June 18Th. So he could have been 21 or 22yrs old. Ringo, also, could have been 23 or 24Yrs old. Depends on when these 3 songs were recorded. It gets very intricate!! But u did a good job, with their ages! But whatever their ages were, the Beatlesgave a terrific performance !! Like they did, EVERY TIME!!!
60 years ago I saw 'A hard days night" when it came out in the theater and even that was insane. I couldn't hear a thing over all the screaming. I saw one girl get carried out after fainting you would think you were seeing them live. There will never be another Beatlemania. It still lives to a certain degree to this day! Loved your reaction 👍❤
I saw it too. I went with my mum and my older brother. The film is a bit short so at the end of the film we stayed in and watched it again. And it was FAB. It must have been summertime because when we left the cinema we went to see my dad play cricket at the Sphinx club ground in Coventry. My wife and I were treated to tickets to see Paul McCartney in Birmingham a few years ago. He has the BEST Beatles tribute band ever and that was absolutely flaming FAB too. The Beatles made my life so much better.
@@philippesauvie639 Add some fun and check out "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" It's a gem and Spielberg was the executive producer so it has his "magic" touch.
Well, at the time they released their songs, I didn't think much of them. The music was effective, yes, but simple. The lyrics were like snapshots of everyday life. "I love you - yeah, yeah, yeah" or "Lovely Rita, meter maid." I felt that the Rolling Stones in a way also had simple music, but their lyrics could have more depth: "Sympathy for the devil" or "Paint it black". So the cynical answer to the question "Why are they so good?" then must be that today's music is so bad, and if you are used to that, of course you ask this question.
@@jpdj2715 interesting theroy. Also if realize who influenced them,( both Beatles and Stones and many others). Plus collating genres of music styles to create a new sound. The horizon of that field of music was lush. I know that what I like, liked musically in my generation, my parents didn't care for. For the most part. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I believe it was true for my father's generation as well. And so sure. Alot of new stuff, I find reprehensible. I get it. And looking back on my generations music. Together with my experiences. Imho there was bad stuff thrown out there. But it is true in every generation. The frog in the pot of water, numb to the temperature rising.
@@roberthubal6278 - thank you for your answer - much appreciated. I grew up with classical music. In a narrow sense, classical references the composers working in the time of "classicism" in architecture (around 1800, and that boils down to Mozart, Haydn, and Van Beethoven). Early romanticism, like Chopin, and a few other composers. It was split brain. The other half was church music. But my 4 grandparents had different tastes. On one side there was opera, on the other one grandparent loved classical music, the other pop music. The latter had the poshest recent ancestry. I remember being "ignited" by hearing jazz music for the first time in a (Hollywood?) movie on TV. And then blues, and, say flamenco. In my brain the split was "danceable" versus storytelling and emotionally charged (and that could be happy, not just sad). The Stones bring such a split in some of their songs: Paint it black has lyrics about the sadness after the loss (passing) of a friend and going to the funeral, but its tempo and tone are an infectious call to the dance floor. Yet the music doesn't bring tears to one's eyes in the way that Gilles' (1668..1705 - baroque period) Requiem would. In classical-in-the-usual-sense music, modernisation in most cases has been motivated by the urge to do something different without coming up with something great. A famous conductor working in my country in the late 1940s got frequently requested for a visit by modernist composers as he could launch them to fame. "The cacophonists" have tried to visit you again, his assistant would report. It's funny how I have to think of that story in this conversation.
@@jpdj2715 Se qualcuno inizia con "Love me do" e 8 anni dopo arriva ad "Abbey road" creando tutto ciò che c'è stato in mezzo è un miracolo, non un gruppo musicale. Tutti gli altri iniziano in un modo e restano pressappoco lì: una crescita così, come quella dei Beatles, è miracolosa.
When The Beatles were playing in Hamburg and Liverpool, there were dozens of other groups and every time they mastered a U.S. cover, another band would grab it up. That's when they started writing their own material, 3-part harmonizing, and spinning out completely original drum & guitar licks. The Beatles broke the glass cage, before and afterwards.
Definitely old, but definitely music that reaches generation including my own! They were special and has made a huge impact on everyone before and after them.
The Beatles were the lightning in a bottle of our times. A gift and force of nature. The four gods of music. There will never be another. I say this with all seriousness. They. Changed. The. WORLD.
Welcome to the family, my lovely lady. I'm an old geezer and it makes me so happy to see young people like you reacting with such overwhelming delight lighting up your face ... Don't stop. The Beatles never made two songs alike. They changed the world of music ... Even classical music. Their solo careers are also loaded with jewels. I envy your ability to listen to these songs for the first time ... They hit me the same way but as a toddler and 60 years ago I was in love with the Fab Four.
@@shockwavereactI believe this was a Royal Command Performance in 1963. I was born July 7, 1964 and my parents said I just loved them. By 3;they gave me a little record player and I was nuts for The Beatles. I was so young and remember clearly thinking they were little tiny people INSIDE THE RECORD PLAYER. Mine is the same birthday as Ringo on drums and Paul's was yesterday ... 82 and on a world tour. Ringo, the oldest will be 84 and he's on a world tour also. Your delight just makes me happier than I can say. And your smile is absolutely wonderfully beautiful. Wanna marry me??? 8:39 BTW ... Ringo and my birthday is July 7 but Ringo was born in 1940. Love you to death!
Love your reaction. They are indeed so young. That's it about the Beatles, there harmonising is beautiful. Theie musicality and production of their songs is brilliant for sure. Peter Jackson who produced the documentary Get Back said that the Beatles made him smile...their music was infectious as well as quite brilliant and innovative.
All these great songs were released in the summer of 1964 as singles and on The Beatles third album called A Hard Day's Night (name of song, album, and movie). At that time, The Beatles were a already worldwide sensation, and almost all their song releases wound up in the top 10 of The Billboard Hot 100. They were amazing song writers, and coming out with new songs all the time. Their songs were new, different, and at the forefront of rock music at the time. I was a young teenager at that time, loved The Beatles, and spent all my spare money buying their recordings. So hearing 3 of their songs at one time, was special for me. If you react to more very early Beatles songs, I would recommend choosing songs from their historic live performances on the Ed Sullivan Show. Most of the great British and American rock groups from that time period did live performances on that show. So once again this was very enjoyable for me and great reaction.
Wow… I should check out more of their old songs like you said, i think i really enjoyed this three in one, it’s real gold for me I am having a great time and I am glad you like this too. 🙏☺️
A perfect combination of three iconic songs….They capture an exciting and positive time for so many of us who had the privilege to hear these four for the first time in the 60s and still listen to them today. Thanks for this!
@@shockwavereact Thanks haha…and my poor mother took my 2 older sisters and I to see this movie your video clip is from, A Hard Day’s Night, for a total of 5 times at the theater in 1964 hahaha. She was pretty amazing that way🥰. Thank you for the trip down memory lane!❤️
@@shockwavereact This video that you just reacted to is FROM their first movie "A HARD DAY'S NIGHT" from 1964. It is towards the end of the 90 minute movie, and after "I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER" finished, they THEN sang "SHE LOVES YOU." ( I am surprised they didn't include it here) IF you watched the video for their recent "last" song "NOW AND THEN" and saw the BOW they take at the END of the "NOW AND THEN" video, was TAKEN from the "A HARD DAY"S NIGHT" movie. Their bow was after they sang "SHE LOVES YOU" Peter Jackson, pulled it from their movie and inserted it at the end of the "NOW AND THEN" video. You SHOULD react to their movie, YOU WILL LOVE IT, and you will get to see their personalities. OH by the way, the older gentleman you see at the end of the video, who is handcuffed to the man next to him.....is Paul's "GRANDFATHER" in the movie, NOT his real grandfather, it's an actor playing the part, and the reason he is handcuffed is because "grandfather" caused a LOT of problems in the movie!!! It's really funny! Their second move is called "HELP!" and came out in the summer of 1965 and that one is in color. It is HILARIOUS TOO.
it from the film A Hard Days Night, which was released in 1964. Look at their success most groups would have just repeated the same format however the Beatles always changed their style ahead of the trends, they led rather than followed the trends.
@@randyjordan5521 george was often overlooked but some of the beatles most enduring songs werewritten byhim! 'something' & 'here comes the sun' spring to mind!
Your appreciation for the Beatles is heartfelt and genuine. Filmed at Twickenham Theater on 10 March 1964, George Harrison had only turned 21 2 weeks prior. Paul McCartney was 22 years and 9 months old. Ringo Starr was 23 years and 8 months old while John Lennon was 23 years and 5 months old. Cheers, RNB
@@shockwavereact When this was filmed on March 10, 1964, I had my 17th BIRTHDAY the DAY before, on March 9th. I had a Beatles sleep over (or pajama party, as we called it then) with all my fellow girlfriends who were also Beatles' fans. We had hot dogs, chips and cokes, and the "Beatle" birthday cake my mom made for me. She decorated it with white icing, with 4 Beatle haircuts made of chocolate icing. Instead of writing "Happy Birthday" on the top of my cake, she wrote "SHE WAS JUST 17" in Chocolate icing (after the Beatles' song "I SAW HER STANDING THERE" which Paul wrote and sang lead on (Paul is the one playing left handed bass) and was my FAVORITE song then, and because Paul was (and still IS) my favorite!! She also made musical notes out of chocolate icing placed around the cake. I even took a photo of it and STILL have it. We talked about them all night, looked at our Beatles' magazines, and "16" Magazine (which was THE teen magazine at that time), and played the only two albums that were out at that point, "MEET THE BEATLES," and "INTRODUCING THE BEATLES" OVER and OVER and OVER again ALLLL night. I had a large Beatles poster that was about 4 1/2 feet long that my mom let me pin up on the living room wall, where we had our sleeping bags and pillows. Well, we DIDN'T do ANY sleeping that night at all!! It was just Beatles, Beatles, Beatles! We had a "BEATLE BLAST"
@@shockwavereact, 🔵Petejones forgot to tell you that the Beatles are the #1 singing act of all time. I hate when commenters refer to them as the best band ever because that means that everyone else that is not a band is better than the Beatles and the Beatles are the greatest of all time, band, solo singer or duo. I just call them "The Greatest Musicians of All Time".🔴
Loved your reaction! They were just pure talent and the gears of the universe just meshed at the right time. A Beatles song can always bring a smile to your day.
I have heard these songs hundreds of times over the years and its so lovely watching you enjoy them and the expressions on your face when they change up and down, 1964, Beatles in their prime. Enjoy.
@@shockwavereact Sorry, I have one more for you, Cilla singing the Lennon McCartney composition it's for you. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-B4HC1IfpYBw.html
The Beatles were “that” good, however by contrast, it doesn’t help that the music is performed today by artist who are not that good. Digital technology may make music “sound” better but it also enables musical artists to be lazy and not work as hard covering over their technical deficiencies.
You have very good taste in music. What a lot of people don't know is that even though the music is credited as written by Lennon and McCartney, both of them wrote separately. The songs you selected were all primarily written by John Lennon as he is singing the lead vocals.
I love watching you get the gift, I am a musician and was 6 when the Beatles came to the U S.A and it was so powerful for us that caught all this first time, your so cute I’m subscribing
So big the world literally fell in behind their pattern. It is likely that modern pop music would not have developed without them. That's a big statement, but I don't think it's untrue. It engenders enormous pride for my countrymen.
Hi I was so lucky to be around when the movie this came from "Hard Days Night", I realize I was only 6 but The Beatles impacted my life and became a musician myself. Sadly we lost John Lennon to a mad mans bullet and we also lost George Harrison to cancer. The movie was from 1964 and Singer & Bassist Paul McCartney is 81 now and Drummer Ringo Starr is 83. One of the best ways to see them both is either the new video ""Now & Then" with Johns demo playing piano and directed by Peter Jackson or watch The Concert for George from 2002 and you can see both Paul & Ringo and many other musicians
I guess it´s 1965 and this footage belongs to the movie "A hard day´s night".The fans´ reaction we see here is only a 10% of the real reactions of fans in their real shows.They really changed the game in the 1960es.They stop performing live in the mid sixties to keep themselves from the madness they caused in their audiences,and then focused on their studio work.Their legacy is pure gold
Fantastic reaction. Why are they so good? Easy, because (1) they had excellent natural talents, (2) destiny brought them to meet together, and (3) the vocals of John, Paul, and George formed a perfect harmony.
If you wondering why the music is slowed down Richard Lester is on record (someplace!) as saying he shot at 25 frames per second, rather than standard 24, so as to match the scan rate of the PAL (European standard) TV monitors that are seen clearly in the studio scenes. If so, playing it back at 24 fps would slow down everything by 4 per cent.
this is 1964...john and ringo turned 24 in this year, paul turned 22 and george turned 21...no auto tune...no hoards of dancers...they carried a show with just their talent

Saw em the ed sulvan show when I was 6 like every kid 😢in America I could sing every song from every album one summer I got hung up on PAPER BACK RIDER
Amen! Your Reactions are Spot on! "Genius x 4) That sums upp The Beatles. This i from theis first Movie "A Hard Day's Night" from 1964. The Title track is Fantastic and so are all the other songs on the Album with the same name. Take a listen to i and especially the first som "A Hard Day's Night" But be sure itś in MONO, the Stereo-mix is strange och lacks the Punch of the MONO-original!
yes, those were comedians... this is near the end of the Beatles first movie, and it has a funny story... the movie is called A Hard Day's Night, and it is worth watching
I was so lucky to be a teenager in 1964, the Beatles were so innovative to say the least, talent exuded from every sinew from each of them, I bought every single and album they recorded, what a time to have been like me, a teenager in the finest time the world had ever known, everything was happening so so fast, change was a daily occurrence. Such a shame that two of them are no longer with us. RIP JOHN AND GEORGE ❤️❤️🙏🙏
@@foofookachoo1136 you are absolutely right, I really envy all those who lived then and enjoyed this first hand☺️ still thankful that I have this opportunity to enjoy this now. 🙏
Listen, look it's very simply, musicological and ethnically, The Beatles were essentially empirical maise-longuests of a rhythmically radical yet verbally passé and temporarily transcended lyrical content, welded with historically innovative melodical material, transposed and transmogrified by the angst of the Liverpool ethic experience, which elevated them from essentially alpha exponents of in essence merely beta potential harmonic material into the prime cultural exponents of aeolian codensic cosmic stanza four.
We baby boomers grew up with the greatest Music ever produced. There is almost nothing produced since 1980 that compares to the years from 1955-1980!! Of course that is only the opinion of this 68yo white guy born and raised in St. Louis Missouri!!
FYI, all these film recordings are slower and 1/2 step LOWER than the record. Check out the album cuts for the true sound, which is noticeably peppier.
That's so strange to reflect upon I would have been 9. My friend's older sister was 14 and had a Beatles single she would play, and it seemed thrilling to me! I think it was I Want To Hold Your Hand.
Straight up music is the best, digitally enhance music means not real made by machines and performed by machines, they sounded so good live, even modern music festivals are becoming pop festivals even Glastonbury sucks
actually, this was filmed in March of 1964 so, John and Ringo were still 23 years old at that time. Ringo became 24 on July 7, 1964 and John on Oct. 9, 1964 ( I am sure you know that, I am just saying the dates in case our reactor reads this. Oh, and Paul was still 21 ( 22 on June 18, 1964) and George had just turned 21 on Feb. 25, 1964.
