@@YesterdaysPapers Someone once commented that if you looked at Keith Richards at the beginning of '67 and then at the end of the same year, you would see a totally different person.
The world will never witness something on this scale ever again, because there will never be another group of the scale of the Beatles, i am so so glad to have been a teenager at this time.
Funny story my Grandfather told me...He took my aunt, who was 14 at the time, to the Beatles show at Olympia Stadium in Detroit in 1964 and he said he couldn't hear a thing cause all the girls were shrieking, including my aunt and was surrounded by urine as all the teenage girls around him including my aunt had pissed their panties. It was a miserable experience for my Grandfather, but, he got to see the Beatles. My Aunt confirmed this story.
Hahaha! That's a funny story! That reminds me of Bill Wyman's comments on the Stones "Crossfire Hurricane" documentary. He said that back in the mid-60s, screaming girls were peeing “rivers of urine” in the stalls during their live shows.
@@YesterdaysPapers Pete Townshend witnessed it when The Who opened for The Beatles. He saw the ushers sprinkling the seats with eau-de-cologne after the show. They were also sniffing the cologne the theater smelled so bad. Pete recounts it in the first verse of 5:15. Girls of fifteen Sexually knowing The ushers are sniffing Eau de cologne The seats are seductive Celibate sitting Pretty girls digging Prettier women
I was there. It was bedlam! From the moment we got off the # 7 train, fans ran off screaming. All through the opening acts, all that you could hear was the crowd chanting "we want The Beatles!" When Ed Sullivan got in front of the mic, we KNEW they were coming on. The already deafening roar of the crowd seemed to increase the volume to a pitch I haven't heard before or since.
Man, you do such a great job with the visuals.. It's like being there. Love the color footage of Times Square and the old Camel sign with the smoke rings coming out, now long gone. 1966 was actually it's last year. And remember the Warwick too. I actually went by there to see if I could catch a glimpse of the Fab 4 but of course it was blocked off big time. That one still exists. I think that was the concert where you couldn't hear anything through the screaming crowd if you went in person since the speakers were those of the baseball PA system. That's what I've read. But there is a remarkable 30 min clip of the show on youtube with very decent sound for everyone to enjoy. And your vids are so informative too! Never would I have imagined in NYC that the second Shea show was not sold out. Thanks again!
And in 1971, Grand Funk Railroad broke the Beatles record at Shea. It took the Beatles 3 weeks to sell it out, Grand Funk Railroad sold it out in 72 hours. Tickets for both shows had to be purchased at the box office
Whoever it is doing this channel: 100 Kudos! Always amazing. Just the incidental shots in between. E.g. the cars on streets @ Brooklyn Bridge gives so much of an idea what it was like. Also, the police most likely had to stand firm, and paranoid. If that crowd had bucked, who knows what would have happened.
I was one of the lucky ones to be at Shea and see the Beatles perform at both the 1965 & 1966 concerts! Totally unbelievably exciting and scary at the same time! Pure pandemonium!
In life it can matter so much more what you do with with what you have than what you have. I have never loved the Beatles as much as I was supposed to but I have always liked them. I just realized one thing that separates them from everyone else. Who else would take this crazy level of fame, wealth and attention and turn it into one of the greatest bodies of work in pop rock history?
I was there. Great concert. So was the one in 1966. Incorrect info at the end. The Stone's "Satisfaction" was released earlier that summer, well before The Beatles played Shea Stadium.
My grandmother's teenaged neighbor girl in New Jersey went to the '66 show. I remember asking if I could go only to be told that I was too young, I was only four, to go, lol!!
I never knew the Stones were there this is new Shea was the first of its kind at the time amazing and 50 years later the Beatles are still relevant today
Can you or l believe the Rush and adrenline.That the Beatles and crowd were feeling.l really can't even comprehend the feeling of that.But Keith Richards once said .No drug can touch it.l Definately believe that. Awesome video. Thank You.Yesterday's Paoers.Have a very Happy NewYear. 😊

The blonde girl saying "We love them, they're wonderful". Her voice cracks me up. Teenagers seemed so naive and innocent in those videos from the 60s and yet most of them were probably way more mature than most teenagers nowadays.
I’m 48, I remember my dad being a huge Beatle fan, we listen to the Beatles all the time. I had absolutely no idea when I was a child what kind of impact they had or what kind of mania that they caused. There are a few bands that I’ve loved and there are a few bands that I can say that women have just gone crazy for, and I know the stones probably know what that feels like but I am never in my almost 50 years of life have seen another band besides Elvis, where people or women have gone that absolutely apeshit. I mean I’ve never seen anything fucking like it in my life. Unbelieveable. I remember Ringo saying that it was so loud that the only way he could keep up was by watching the rhythm of Paul and John. I’m in just awe, complete awe!
this vid makes me happy and sad at the same time if y was only 20years older i would have been there and by now to old to care aboud howe the world is today
For the famous Let it Rot sessions. Which, turned into an album, a concert and a lawsuit. Barry was consulting the I Ching, every five minutes. Dirk sued Nasty, Stig and Barry. Stig sued himself, accidentally. Ron Decline was feared and turned out to be a shyster. Billy Kodak wouldn't do either, being Dirk's father in law. Wild times. They should've convinced Leggy to come back from Australia, to manage their affairs, again.
I don't know if the show was the Beatles or the audience. The noise of the screaming fans was so deafening that the music was not heard, and the Beatles were so far away, in the middle of the stadium, that no one could make out anything. The show was not on stage… the show was in the stands. The real spectacle has always been the hysterical girls screaming with excitement to see their idols.
I want my own Tardis to go back to the 60's I was born in. The 60's were the real thing. The 70's less so as the counter culture was sadly just turned into a entertain ment giant industry! We went from the genius of Hendrix etc to the dumbed down, like Glam Rock and KISS! Yuch!
My grandpa's third (and last) wife was at that concert with her niece. They were seated in the upper deck down the third base line. She told me she could barely see the Beatles, and all she heard were young girls shrieking for the entire performance. Plus, the upper deck was moving, since it had been built on rollers to stabilize it (a phenomenon that would be repeated at Mets and Jets games during their few winning seasons when they'd sell out Shea). She said it was really awful.
They really were prisoners of their fame. An unimaginable frenzy at Shea! One more year of that and it was no wonder they bid adieu to concerts. And that's when things got interesting.
If this is the early 65 NYC show, while Mick and Keith fawned over the Beatles, Brian was chilling with Dylan and Robbie Robertson getting wasted and touring clubs in the Village. Apparently seeing/meeting Hendrix for the first time. A year and a half later, they’d become friends in London.
Years and years ago I attended a Beatles convention in Boston with all sorts of memorabilia for sale. Didn’t have a lot of money so I bought what I could afford, which was an unsold ticket to that second Shea Stadium concert. I had no idea about it being a second unsold out show and always wondered if it was authentic. Now I know. It’s the real deal.
Great information. The Beatles really were the kings of the sixties. The Stones and Frank Sinatra trying to visit them as badly as their fans. Unbelievable.
Nice mention of Ed Sullivan. Watching old clips of The Sullivan Show is absolute magic. The Stones performance of "Ruby Tuesday" in 1967 ... it doesn't get better than that in my opinion 💖
Few people realise, as its hardly ever mentioned, that when The Beatles played Shea Stadium the following year 1966 they failed to sell it out. It was 1/3 empty. I've often wondered if the less than sold out 1966 US tour (Candlestick Park, amongst other venues, wasn't a sell out either) was secretly part of the reason they gave up touring.
Ure a misinformed dope it was completely sold out within hours they stopped touring because they couldn't hear them selves with all the screams it could of been sold out a 1000 times over ..The equipment they had in those days wasn't right for huge rock stadiums ...
Apparently there was some drop off in support with that was because of the influence of the Christian Right Still on the last time they played to 400.000 people in USA alone
The two concerts at Shea I went to.There were very limited seats.Many tickets were given to certain groups of people in which they never showed up. At Shea upper deck seats weren't sold. My brother in law recieved from John Lennon a transister radio before he got in a transport vechicle.He worked security.
‘I Feel Fine’, ‘I’m Down’, ‘Act Naturally’, ‘Ticket To Ride’, ‘Yesterday’ and ‘Help!’. With a break after "Act naturally". Some clips are from time to time on youtube.
@@kikiu2619 sullivan has a disc release of just beatles appearances, three back to back in '64 (first voyage), this one aired a month or so after Shea.
That separated and established who was who and who was the who in the who. Everybody at that point was left standing at the bus stop who wasn't a Beatle.
Yes, indeed. Named after the great rebel leader, 'Che Stadium'. This was when Stig was still speaking. Even as the quiet one, he'd not uttered a word, since 1966.
@@YesterdaysPapers It was George who got the Stones signed to Decca as he felt sorry for their A&R guy Dick Rowe, who was getting so much hassle for turning the Beatles down "guitar groups are on the way out".
This was the first stadium rock - nobody had seen anything like it since Hitler . Reminds me of the Woody Allen Joke : the Modern world starts somewhere between Nietzsche's God is dead and I wanna hold your hand .
John had a very poor eye sight, short-sighted people can sometimes be sensitive to certain lighting, hence wearing shades in doors. Roger Taylor from Queen also has the same problem.
@@steveconn That's hilarious... The Beatles were inner-city guys from the working-class neighborhoods of Liverpool, two of whom had been arrested by 1960. The Beatles lived in the midst of gangsters and prostitutes in Hamburg Germany, taking amphetamines while playing before rowdy crowds that ended in fights on a nightly basis before the wannabe Stones were even a group. The Stones were suburban art student posers from the suburbs with a manufactured image made by Andrew Oldham.
Se Os Bestles voltassem a tocar Juntos John Lennon não tinha sido morto, e a Bruxa Yoko perturbou A John Lennon por isso que eles brigaram e chegaram ao fim, parece que tudo estava sendo escrito num Livro Macabro de Yoko para este Fim eterno da Banda dos Beatles.
For once I agree with John "it was ridiculous" fans were not there for the music but to see untouchables happy few who give privates party in their hotel protect by the police.
The Beatles were the only band that could even stand in that hurricane of fan insanity. The hype was off the charts. At the top of the charts were Beatles hits and albums. There music still shines almost 60 years later. That 20% brilliance sure made a splash.
You're clearly delusional with that 80% hype statement. Moreover, their second Shea concert selling 44,000 tickets was way more than any other single rock group could have dreamed of achieving at that time.
Unbelievable to comprehend these guys into the eye of their own private hurricane . This soon would turn sour after Lennon's quip about religion . Not a wise thing to do in "god's own country". This unprecedented manic worship was just what the U.S. needed to make the masses forget about the military coup of November '63. Although Lennon would meet the same nasty end as Kennedy after he warned the U.S. military industrial complex his revolution would succeed and war would be over. Such a possible hugely influential future trouble maker needed to be neutralised. First they tirelessly tried to convince Lennon he was not welcome anymore, he just wouldn't listen . In a nation where movie stars become presidents , their apprehension about Lennon ,this godless maniac proclaiming the possible absence of heaven, hell and god, one day becoming president of the USA might be a dangerous possibility , and the Pentagon's cozy relationship with the two allowed political parties granting her unconditional and unlimited access to the people's treasury might one day come to a sudden stop. Thankfully this nightmare scenario never became reality , and war still serves the U.S. world empire very well.
The Stones had already done two american tours at the time and the second one was already pretty succesful but, of course, when they released "Satisfaction" they became massive.
It was in a stadium sure but the amplification was unsatisfactory and they didn't have good enough monitor speakers to hear themselves playing. The Stones would eventually solve this problem on their 1969 US tour, with a more sophisticated amplification system. Unfortunately, The Beatles were all but broken up by this time so couldn't learn from the Rolling Stones example.
@@thereunionparty but no stadium shows then, didn't get to Shea for another 20 years, I honestly thought my level was going to collapse during Satisfaction it was bouncing up and down so much...

7 is a magical number...

So you needed ID to see the Beatles but not to vote? Hmm! It shows up in every facet of life!
Gee I wonder why they stopped touring
Floor 33 ---
yeah, there was no 33 1/3 floor.
So they all got together to listen to Bob Dylans " Like A Rolling Stone"! And why was John Lennon wearing dark glasses inside?
John had a very poor eye sight, short-sighted people can sometimes be sensitive to certain lighting, hence wearing shades in doors. Roger Taylor from Queen also has the same problem.
Terrible for the Beatles. The Rolling Stones were lucky to maintain their freedom. It was one of the reasons they survived.
@@steveconn That's hilarious... The Beatles were inner-city guys from the working-class neighborhoods of Liverpool, two of whom had been arrested by 1960. The Beatles lived in the midst of gangsters and prostitutes in Hamburg Germany, taking amphetamines while playing before rowdy crowds that ended in fights on a nightly basis before the wannabe Stones were even a group. The Stones were suburban art student posers from the suburbs with a manufactured image made by Andrew Oldham.
Se Os Bestles voltassem a tocar Juntos John Lennon não tinha sido morto, e a Bruxa Yoko perturbou A John Lennon por isso que eles brigaram e chegaram ao fim, parece que tudo estava sendo escrito num Livro Macabro de Yoko para este Fim eterno da Banda dos Beatles.
by what authority did the police imprison the beatles to their hotel?
they used the corona statutes.
For once I agree with John "it was ridiculous" fans were not there for the music but to see untouchables happy few who give privates party in their hotel protect by the police.
Blackpool England 🏴
Being that famous sounds absolutely dehumanizing
Put something on w/ The Doors or Deep Purple!!!
Man police protection! Poor girl that policeman grabbed her ass off the car and threw her wow. Crazy lol
What a way to live lolololo
The Beatles were 80% hype, 20% brilliance. It's interesting, and less publicized, that they didn't sell out their second Shea Stadium gig.
Thanks for sharing
The Beatles are 100% brilliance!
🤔
The Beatles were the only band that could even stand in that hurricane of fan insanity. The hype was off the charts. At the top of the charts were Beatles hits and albums. There music still shines almost 60 years later. That 20% brilliance sure made a splash.
You're clearly delusional with that 80% hype statement. Moreover, their second Shea concert selling 44,000 tickets was way more than any other single rock group could have dreamed of achieving at that time.
The name of the media outlet. NME. (enemy) I wonder who they are the enemy of? :D
Oo wants yesterday's payypers? Oo wants yesterday's gull?
Unbelievable to comprehend these guys into the eye of their own private hurricane .
This soon would turn sour after Lennon's quip about religion . Not a wise thing to do in "god's own country".
This unprecedented manic worship was just what the U.S. needed to make the masses forget about the military coup of November '63. Although Lennon would meet the same nasty end as Kennedy after he warned the U.S. military industrial complex his revolution would succeed and war would be over. Such a possible hugely influential future trouble maker needed to be neutralised. First they tirelessly tried to convince Lennon he was not welcome anymore, he just wouldn't listen .
In a nation where movie stars become presidents , their apprehension about Lennon ,this godless maniac proclaiming the possible absence of heaven, hell and god, one day becoming president of the USA might be a dangerous possibility , and the Pentagon's cozy relationship with the two allowed political parties granting her unconditional and unlimited access to the people's treasury might one day come to a sudden stop.
Thankfully this nightmare scenario never became reality , and war still serves the U.S. world empire very well.
He didn't do it "there", but in England

Beatles INVENTED stadium concert format before Stones even had an American concert yet....
The Stones had already done two american tours at the time and the second one was already pretty succesful but, of course, when they released "Satisfaction" they became massive.
no
It was in a stadium sure but the amplification was unsatisfactory and they didn't have good enough monitor speakers to hear themselves playing. The Stones would eventually solve this problem on their 1969 US tour, with a more sophisticated amplification system. Unfortunately, The Beatles were all but broken up by this time so couldn't learn from the Rolling Stones example.
@@thereunionparty but no stadium shows then, didn't get to Shea for another 20 years, I honestly thought my level was going to collapse during Satisfaction it was bouncing up and down so much...
@@thereunionparty The Stones played before over 200,000 at Hyde Park London England before they started the US tour of 1969
