This was the first stadium concert by any band. It was unreal at the time that the Beatles were so big that they needed a sports stadium to hold all their fans. So hard to describe the impact they had back then.
Billy Joel played the last concert ever at Shea Stadium in 2008. Paul McCartney helped close out his set, ruclips.net/video/6kAo2O3FKQM/видео.html . Elsewhere there was an article that the attendant who helped the Beatles in 1965 was there to assist Paul in 2008!
@@magiminiland1140 And the guy who drove Paul to the stadium was the very same guy who drove Beatles back in 1966! Talk about closing the circle so to speak.
I was 10 when my aunt n uncle took me to see the Beatles at Dodger stadium 1966 and the screaming was nuts. The stage was in the middle of the field and girls kept breaking through the police line, the best one was a girl who almost made it, people we yelling Go Go Go when a cop like 30 feet away threw his batan like a frisbee hitting her in the foot tripping her.
Fun fact. When the Beatles played on the Ed Sullivan show, there was no reported crime during the performance. Literally, everyone (even the criminals) were in front of their TV watching.

During a tour of The Beatles, journalist Larry Kane asked their manager, Brian Epstein, how long he thought they would last, to which he responded: “I'm telling you, Larry, there is no other band, there will never be a band like them, for all eternity. They are the best, I'm telling you Larry, here in 1965, the kids of 2000 will be listening to the Beatles.”
It's called Beatlemania and it was absolutely nuts!! Kudos to Jay and Amber for appreciating the Beatles "evolution" through the years. How we all wish that they were all still alive today.....what would their music sound like?
There’s a new song release recently that they managed to include all four, it’s great, using old and new film footage. I’ll never forget having practically front row seats at the Hollywood Bowl back then and the screaming girls kinda scared me, I was only nine, couldn’t fathom the crying, lol 😂
one things for sure , it would be better than the corporate shit we hear now. well actual i dont hear it i gave up on music years ago anything after 1988 is not really worth listening to (new band wise)
I just paused the video when they said late 80s to post a comment before I forgot but will instead just add to your comment. I laughed out loud when J said that. As a reminder to RSR, John Lennon died in 1980.
They (rob and his Mrs)thinking this is late 80s early 90s are underestimating those who built cameras that could take filming the Beatles from a helicopter 🚁 in 1965 they probably think helicopters and cameras didn't exist in 1965 and was filmed from above on a teradactil leather bird wing creature from Jurassic Park
When seeing them won't ruin your reaction possibilities, catch their first movies, "Hard Day's Night" and "Help!" They showcase their personalities and humorous talents perfectly.
No two Beatles albums sound alike. They were all about pushing musical boundaries, experimenting with various instruments and recording techniques and constantly reinventing themselves on each album. Greatest band ever.
Two early Beatles hits were “I Feel Fine” and “She Loves You.” Both are uptempo bangers that I hope you’re able to get to in the not too distant future. 😂
I saw the Beatles at Shea a year later, Aug 23 1966. My friend and I swore we just would watch them, no screaming, no crying. The moment they came out of the dugout i looked at my friend and she looked at me. My mouth was open wide, tears streaming down my face, just as she was. Our screams could not be heard because the sound of the crowd was deafening. There they were, where I was. What a thrill.
Oh, thanks for this you two! Absolutely true...every Beatle song is an absolute treasure. Never know what to expect. (My parents remembers a girl across the street, running into our house, hysterical crying and clinging on to Mom for dear life. Mom asked 'Oh, Linda, what happened honey, what's wrong??' When Linda collected herself enough to talk, she screamed 'I'm going to see The Beatles at Shea Stadium!!' Apparently, she felt like she HAD to tell my parents of her incredible fortune!😃 THAT was Beatlemania in a nutshell!
The title of the song is a Ringo expression. We’re working so hard we’re working eight days a week. No band had ever played a stadium before the Beatles . 🕊❤️🎼
This phrase is attributed to Paul’s driver one day when Paul asked him if he had been working hard. He said 8 days a week. It’s on the Beatles book that covers all their songs.
She Loves You, I Want to Hold Your Hand, please, please, please! Thank you, a great reaction. ❤ I saw The Beatles in 1965 in Atlanta Stadium. They had quite a reaction on the girls, of which I was one. I Was 10. My Mom took me and my brother.
Hey me too!!! All the way from Nashville. Seemed like such a long trip back then. My big sister was 18 and there as well. She's the real reason we went. It was crazy.
I read that the Atlanta Stadium concert actually had a decent sound system and that the Beatles were impressed. I lived in Atlanta at the time and really wanted to go, but I was sure my parents wouldn’t let me so I missed it. So sad…
@otter3095 Yes, thanks for the "Way to go Mom". She was pregnant at the time with my little sister. She was a special Lady, my Mom. We live in Alabama, so it was about a four hour drive. We also had my best friend, lived next door, and her 2 bros in a Station Wagon. It was great and the kids all had a superb time. My Mom, she seemed to just be glad nobody got lost and we all got back to our car in one piece afterwards. RIP Mom. ♥️
Absolutely my favorite pre-Sgt. Pepper's Beatles hit single. Spring of '65, which I will maintain until my dying day was the greatest year for music ever.
They stopped doing live performances because all the screaming made it impossible for them to hear themselves. I believe they performed at Shea Stadium in 1965. I think you'd enjoy watching/reacting to their first film "Hard Days' Night" which gives a very good picture of how nuts everyone was going over them when they first came on the scene.
Not always! 'Run For Your Life' comes to mind. 'Happiness Is A Warm Gun', 'Mean Mr Mustard'...sleeps in a hole in the road, saving up to buy some clothes. "You say you want a revolution". They covered the gamut.
During their final tour in 1966, the Beatles actually played a "doubleheader" in two cities on the same day. Their concert in Cincinnati got rained out, so the performed the following afternoon at Crosley Field, the one-time home of the Reds. That night, they played in St. Louis at Busch Stadium, where the Cardinals played for decades and had only opened a few months before that.
"You tell me that you've heard every sound there is" ... but if you haven't heard that song's double lead guitar run, you haven't lived. Plus, it's on the best album ever.
I thought I had heard all the Beatles songs, so I was shocked to find that one during the pandemic. Apparently it wasn't on the American version of the albums back in the day. I played it like every day for a year.
My great grandmother who lived with us when I was a kid had to put up with all or teenage music. Two Bands she actually liked were the Beatles and the Seekers.
Finally, I was able to watch the documentary, "Get Back", on Disney. Though it was three parts and over 6 hours(?) I didn't feel a single bit bored. I actually cried a few times from joy and sheer amazement from watching them create much of their last two albums. And for me, there was a deep catharsis of locked away emotions surrounding their breakup. As a child of the times, and experiencing my parents divorce (which was still rare then), the Beatles breaking up was traumatic to me. And I buried that anger away, but it never disappeared entirely, until recently, while watching them. It was such a joy to see John and George. I hope you guys get to watch it soon.
Eight Days a Week...released as a single in the US in Feb.1965...got to #1 as usual. The footage is from August 15, 1965 when The Beatles played Shea Stadium in NYC. On this night...this was the BIGGEST concert ever held...over 56,000 crazed fans witnessed history..."Beatle mania" at it's peak!!!
As a kid growing up in the 60's this song captures what it was like on AM Radio every day during the British Invasion. at least to me. Nice job guys, as always...
I remember watching that concert from shea stadium when it happened... If I remember right that was in 1965... I remember John Lennon had a confused look on his face at one point because he couldn't believe all the women fainting and Paul took over singing for him for about 10 seconds or so... It was quite a concert... Great video in Greek reaction as usual, guys... See you on the next one and as always...Keep Being Awesome !!!...
@dewman0269 It was AUG. 15, 1965 that this Shea Stadium concert took place, it was the FIRST STADIUM rock concert at that time, 55,000 plus fans on a hot and humid night. I WISH people would stop referring to the female fans as "WOMEN" They were NOT adults, they were TEENAGERS (like I was then) and preteen girls. OVER 21 was when you were called a "WOMAN" Just call us GIRLS. NO adult women were crying, screaming and fainting. Most adults, or parents didn't even like the Beatles and no WOMAN would be caught dead behaving like us teenage and preteen girls at a Beatles concert. Heck the PRESS by some reporters just railed on how the teenager girls were acting so UN LADY LIKE, and should be ashamed of their behavior..
You will not regret it in listening to the music of The Beatles cause they’re so talented ,especially in music writing , singing & harmonies as well & playing instruments , that’s why their music are timeless!
It is so much fun watching a new young couple of people finding out for themselves what it was about the Beatles that simply captivated us way back when! There have been fascinating bands since then, but these 4 guys were in a level that no one else ever touched.
THANK YOU for a great reaction!!❤❤❤ I saw them in 2 concerts -- once in the crowd & once from stage side when I met them. Yes, the energy was manic -- the fainting, craziness, frenzy were all real -- never saw such a mass of humanity in such an atmosphere of joy & love! 💜🩵💙💚
It wasn’t long before they learned to genuinely hate those stadium concerts. The crowd noise was so loud that they could barely hear themselves. I hope you’ll listen to Old Brown Shoe. I know you’ll love it. ❤
Among The Beatles I think my favorite early piece was Till There Was You - best version recorded live on TV in 1963. Paul's vocals so spot on pitch, his walking bass great and George's guitar phrases and solo just awesome.
The footage from the Shea Stadium concert was lost for almost 50 years. Ron Howard got that and used it as part of his movie Eight Days A Week, the Beatles Touring Years (I went to The World Premiere in London)
The Beatles were so big they had to play in baseball stadiums to meet the demand for tickets, the first to do so. Their final concert (not counting the one-off Rooftop Concert) was in Candlestick Park in 1966, and they devoted the rest of their time as a band focusing on their studio work and albums, until they broke up. The hysteria and excitement the Beatles caused was coined "Beatlemania" and J's right, very few artists in history had fan reactions that intense.
Oh for the days when hand claps were the 'special effect' that helped bring a track to life. The Beatles were just guys, but when they were making music, it was like a light that brightened up the world, at least just a little. They were blue collar guys, everybody's band, and never pretended to be anything else.
One of my favorite Beatles tunes of all time. From the early days of the Beatles in 1964. This was their sound back when they first hit the USA. Very Pop oriented Rock and Roll. What most people today don't realize, is that the Beatles was a Package deal, like with very few bands. These guys just meshed together like magic. If one of them had not been in the band and contributed his part, it probably wouldn't have worked as well as it did. Some bands are like that. People today just don't understand how big of a deal they really were. By the time they got here, people were wanting something different, the Girls were crazy about their looks, the hair, the way they dressed, the catchy tunes, the radio and TV promotion. And NOBODY..... had done Concert as big as Shea Stadium. It was bigger than anything that had happened before. Bands didn't sell out huge stadiums and venues like that. It was just the right time and the right Band, and the Young People were ready for it. Even when there were controversies and Adults tried to stop them or make them look bad, it only served as a catalyst to make the kids want them even more. They were unstoppable.
ANY Stadium. The Beatles completely reset the music business paradigm. Because of The Beatles, stadium shows became part of the music business for the first time.
@@The_Dudesteryeah, it musta been hard hearing the Beatles play through the little announcer’s speakers at Shea. But then again I believe their Atlanta, GA concert was the only one with decent sound. They really revolutionized the music industry in countless ways.
Sorry but I laughed when Jay said that he thought that the Beatles were around in the late 80s early 90s, no bud,John Lennon was murdered in the early 80s and the Beatles broke up in the late 60s,Jay had better do some music history lessons 😂❤
@@sandrahernandez569 He wasn't alive back then,he needs to do some research on the Era of the bands. Active dates.Its the reason why they have the channel is so they learn about music produced before they grew up with it.
On the premise of their popularity, Jay. At the height of "Beatlemania," John Lennon once said in an interview, "Right now, we're more popular than Jesus." The world lost their minds over that comment, and the Beatles became public enemy #1. Station's were boycotting their music, people burning their albums, etc. It was crazy.
They were the first band to play 'stadium' shows and Shea was their first one. They broke ground for every act to follow. Meryl Streep was there and admitted she couldn't hear much because of all the screaming girls around her, but she loved it because she got to see them in person.
I forgot about this. She once joked at a Paul McCartney event with him in the audience “I had a sign that said ‘I love you Paul’. I don’t think he saw it”.
100% agree with this. George was extremely talented, but was overlooked/underrated because of Paul and John. George was lucky to get one or two songs on any Beatles album, so when the Beatles broke up, George had a ton of great songs ready to go for his solo career. He certainly left an outstanding legacy.
The Beatles are the greatest musical act of all time and the greatest gift given to the world. They have no songs that sound the same as any of their other songs, first to break every barrier of music, revolutionized the way music was recorded, everything in the 60's from clothing to hairstyle was influenced by The Beatles. The Beatles led and everyone else followed and still are to this day. Want proof, Now and Then (the last Beatles song) went #1 in the Uk and #2 in the US, after 50 years of not being together. No other artists can do that.
Shea stadium was the 1st stadium rock concert as far as I know. The result of the poor technology from that gig, not being able to hear themselves play was what made them think that they should give up touring and become the first studio band. A band called Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Top 5 musical groups of all time, and my personal 2nd favorite after Prince. The effect the Beatles had on music will continue for all time. Glad you all fell in love with another amazing song in their endless catalog
One of the reasons the Beatles were such a big hit is that there was a lull in pop music. Doo Wop and fifties music was fading away and everybody was looking for something new. Along came the Beatles. Boy did young teenage girls jump on it! Love them or hate them, you have to admit, their timing was right.
The genius of the "when stars align" Beatles, was their ability to cobble together all the great new music sounds, add their own gifted original touch and unintentionally create a new genre of music, modern rock and roll... When Beatlemania exploded across America in 64 I was 12 and the feeling was surreal, everyone knew their music had changed the world and some were in shock and not happy campers. Beatlemania ubiquitousness that permeated the radio, TV, newsstands, magazine racks in every store, school supplies, hairstyles, clothes, conversations had all seemed to have entered a new dimension overnight and then kept going for a decade. A phenomenon never to happen again and to this day they are at the top of every list as most total records sales...
The Beatles were the 1st to play a stadium,,,Shea Stadium. This song was early in their 8 year window of brilliance in late 1964. Rob Squad: Take early songs like this and Please Please Me, then listen to Helter Skelter from 1968 and get your mind blown of how far they evolved in 6 years.
Finally, back to The Beatles! Fun one from the early says 😊 When will you be watching their movies?! The guy in the b&w suit was their manager, Brian Epstien.
I always have to request "Get Back" every time y'all do a Beatles song! Killer bass line and Paul singing. Also, I love "Lady Madonna" and "Paperback Writer", which was a bit earlier. "The Ballad Of John and Yoko" is one that I don't think I've seen anyone react to and I think you'd like it, as it kind of tells the story of the craziness of that time. And "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds" is a great little psychadelic trip. It's amazing though, that they morphed through so many different styles and genres in just the few years they were all together.
Went to see a Hard Day's Night and Help on a double bill at the Capri theater with two friends. We all wore our best poor boys, Charlotte's was lime green, Janet's was blue and I'll be darned if I can remember what color mine was. Even going to see movies with the Beatles in them was a very big deal to us teeny boppers.
Eight Days a Week was one of the first Beatles songs I taught myself when I was learning guitar. I put the song on repeat on my CD player and sounded out the chords as I went along. If either of you are taking guitar lessons, you should learn this one, it's so fun and easy to play and sing, and the both of you could do two-part harmonies.
That strategy is hilarious! Going to pass out but then wait for the right moment and then when you get close to them, pop up out of the stretcher! Laughing my ass off, Amber.
Me too but I was fortunate enough to see them in person in Sept of 64 at the convention center in Philadelphia.. Even got to go backstage but they were gone asap to the Northeast airport. Everyone thought at the time they were leaving by way of International Airport in southwest Philly. Smart move on their part. Lol. .... Good memories......
A lot of their old stuff sounds just like this - there was a progression to their sound over time. They are also wearing the Nehru jackets that they basically made famous.
I was at that concert - it may be the first time a band played a stadium. We were only a couple rows up from the field and still didnt hear any music because of the screaming. So funny to think of it now but we were in heaven!
Finally, back to the Beatles. 150 more great songs to go.
This!
And.....please react to "Hard Days Night" and "Help"
FACTS!
@@tobysmith3351they've already done Help, but Hard Days Night would be cool.

Not quite true. The fact is that the crime rate plummeted but it didn't cease completely.
They were all busy watching the tv instead of pinching them.
This was the first time a band NEEDED such a big venue to play in. Thus began the era of concerts in stadiums.
It led to a whole genre of music - "Arena rock" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arena_rock
it also started their decision to not play to live audiences again - they eventually hated the spectacle of it all.
@@BrockHagen And the fact that they couldn't even hear themselves play, so they knew nobody else could, either.

"You tell me that you've heard every sound there is" ... but if you haven't heard that song's double lead guitar run, you haven't lived. Plus, it's on the best album ever.
...so true...a masterpiece.!
I thought I had heard all the Beatles songs, so I was shocked to find that one during the pandemic. Apparently it wasn't on the American version of the albums back in the day. I played it like every day for a year.
Beatlemania was unique! It was world wide and just wow, came out of nowhere! Mostly tween girls, but no one escaped it.
Teens and Adults. Too 😊
The Ruttles!!
I'm 64, and still a huge Beatles fan even though they broke up while I was a kid.
My great grandmother who lived with us when I was a kid had to put up with all or teenage music. Two Bands she actually liked were the Beatles and the Seekers.
Those young, screaming girls you were fascinated by,are now all Grandmothers!
That explains why I'm attracted to grangemothers! 😂
Finally, I was able to watch the documentary, "Get Back", on Disney. Though it was three parts and over 6 hours(?) I didn't feel a single bit bored. I actually cried a few times from joy and sheer amazement from watching them create much of their last two albums. And for me, there was a deep catharsis of locked away emotions surrounding their breakup. As a child of the times, and experiencing my parents divorce (which was still rare then), the Beatles breaking up was traumatic to me. And I buried that anger away, but it never disappeared entirely, until recently, while watching them. It was such a joy to see John and George. I hope you guys get to watch it soon.
Eight Days a Week...released as a single in the US in Feb.1965...got to #1 as usual. The footage is from August 15, 1965 when The Beatles played Shea Stadium in NYC. On this night...this was the BIGGEST concert ever held...over 56,000 crazed fans witnessed history..."Beatle mania" at it's peak!!!
As a kid growing up in the 60's this song captures what it was like on AM Radio every day during the British Invasion. at least to me. Nice job guys, as always...
Back in the day, it was such an exciting time. Every new Beatles song played on the radio was an event.
Eight Days a Week....I LO-O-O-O-O-VE YOU!! BEATLES ROCK!! HUGS, YA'LL!!!
I love what you do. Such joy, and you both have beautiful spirits. Thank you.
This is one of my very favorite Beatles' song! So glad you liked it. And those hand claps are right out of Motown!
Some of the most awesome harmonies to be heard anywhere, they were absolutely brilliant!
I remember watching that concert from shea stadium when it happened... If I remember right that was in 1965... I remember John Lennon had a confused look on his face at one point because he couldn't believe all the women fainting and Paul took over singing for him for about 10 seconds or so... It was quite a concert... Great video in Greek reaction as usual, guys... See you on the next one and as always...Keep Being Awesome !!!...
They said the crowd was so loud they couldn't hear Ringo drumming.... but they still didn't miss a beat.
@dewman0269 It was AUG. 15, 1965 that this Shea Stadium concert took place, it was the FIRST STADIUM rock concert at that time, 55,000 plus fans on a hot and humid night. I WISH people would stop referring to the female fans as "WOMEN" They were NOT adults, they were TEENAGERS (like I was then) and preteen girls. OVER 21 was when you were called a "WOMAN" Just call us GIRLS. NO adult women were crying, screaming and fainting. Most adults, or parents didn't even like the Beatles and no WOMAN would be caught dead behaving like us teenage and preteen girls at a Beatles concert. Heck the PRESS by some reporters just railed on how the teenager girls were acting so UN LADY LIKE, and should be ashamed of their behavior..
John was 'as blind as a bat' without his glasses so he was probably trying to work out what was going on in front of him!
You will not regret it in listening to the music of The Beatles cause they’re so talented ,especially in music writing , singing & harmonies as well & playing instruments , that’s why their music are timeless!
Love that you’ve gone back to their early stuff, hear how they sounded in the beginning!!!
It is so much fun watching a new young couple of people finding out for themselves what it was about the Beatles that simply captivated us way back when! There have been fascinating bands since then, but these 4 guys were in a level that no one else ever touched.
THANK YOU for a great reaction!!❤❤❤ I saw them in 2 concerts -- once in the crowd & once from stage side when I met them. Yes, the energy was manic -- the fainting, craziness, frenzy were all real -- never saw such a mass of humanity in such an atmosphere of joy & love! 💜🩵💙💚
Playing in stadiums is just one thing they started. I watched this live on TV as a grade school kid. . Beatles Forever
It wasn’t long before they learned to genuinely hate those stadium concerts. The crowd noise was so loud that they could barely hear themselves. I hope you’ll listen to Old Brown Shoe. I know you’ll love it. ❤
They had such tiny amps and were using the stadium PA! Imagine the Beatles coming over those megaphones posted at the corners of the stadium gaahhhh.
Among The Beatles I think my favorite early piece was Till There Was You - best version recorded live on TV in 1963.
Paul's vocals so spot on pitch, his walking bass great and George's guitar phrases and solo just awesome.
I Feel Fine is my favorite early Beatles song. And you have to watch A Hard Day's Night and Help! Make sure you watch Hard Day's Night first.
The footage from the Shea Stadium concert was lost for almost 50 years. Ron Howard got that and used it as part of his movie Eight Days A Week, the Beatles Touring Years (I went to The World Premiere in London)
The Beatles were so big they had to play in baseball stadiums to meet the demand for tickets, the first to do so. Their final concert (not counting the one-off Rooftop Concert) was in Candlestick Park in 1966, and they devoted the rest of their time as a band focusing on their studio work and albums, until they broke up. The hysteria and excitement the Beatles caused was coined "Beatlemania" and J's right, very few artists in history had fan reactions that intense.
"She's Leaving Home", A story told in a song by Paul with John - It will make you cry!
Oh for the days when hand claps were the 'special effect' that helped bring a track to life. The Beatles were just guys, but when they were making music, it was like a light that brightened up the world, at least just a little. They were blue collar guys, everybody's band, and never pretended to be anything else.
The HAPPIEST song ever released!
This was the most joyful song on their rather dark album, Beatles For Sale. A wonderful song,
One of my favorite Beatles tunes of all time. From the early days of the Beatles in 1964. This was their sound back when they first hit the USA. Very Pop oriented Rock and Roll.
What most people today don't realize, is that the Beatles was a Package deal, like with very few bands. These guys just meshed together like magic. If one of them had not been in the band and contributed his part, it probably wouldn't have worked as well as it did. Some bands are like that. People today just don't understand how big of a deal they really were. By the time they got here, people were wanting something different, the Girls were crazy about their looks, the hair, the way they dressed, the catchy tunes, the radio and TV promotion. And NOBODY..... had done Concert as big as Shea Stadium. It was bigger than anything that had happened before. Bands didn't sell out huge stadiums and venues like that. It was just the right time and the right Band, and the Young People were ready for it. Even when there were controversies and Adults tried to stop them or make them look bad, it only served as a catalyst to make the kids want them even more. They were unstoppable.
We were just listening to this song earlier today, along with some other Beatles’ songs. You’re right about those harmonies. Fabulous.
What a joyous song. The early Beatles just make me happy.
This was in 1966, The Beatles were the first Band to REQUIRE playing in a venue as big as Shea. True pioneers again
This concert is from 1965
“She Loves You” to “A Day In The Life” in 4 years. Geniuses.
The Beatles were the first band to play Shea Stadium
ANY Stadium. The Beatles completely reset the music business paradigm. Because of The Beatles, stadium shows became part of the music business for the first time.
@@The_Dudesteryeah, it musta been hard hearing the Beatles play through the little announcer’s speakers at Shea. But then again I believe their Atlanta, GA concert was the only one with decent sound. They really revolutionized the music industry in countless ways.
Sorry but I laughed when Jay said that he thought that the Beatles were around in the late 80s early 90s, no bud,John Lennon was murdered in the early 80s and the Beatles broke up in the late 60s,Jay had better do some music history lessons 😂❤
RIP John: Monday, December 8, 1980.
How does he Even think that?!?
@@sandrahernandez569 He wasn't alive back then,he needs to do some research on the Era of the bands. Active dates.Its the reason why they have the channel is so they learn about music produced before they grew up with it.
On the premise of their popularity, Jay. At the height of "Beatlemania," John Lennon once said in an interview, "Right now, we're more popular than Jesus." The world lost their minds over that comment, and the Beatles became public enemy #1. Station's were boycotting their music, people burning their albums, etc. It was crazy.
Beatlemania was a worldwide fever and I'm privileged to have witnessed it.
They were the first band to play 'stadium' shows and Shea was their first one. They broke ground for every act to follow. Meryl Streep was there and admitted she couldn't hear much because of all the screaming girls around her, but she loved it because she got to see them in person.
I forgot about this. She once joked at a Paul McCartney event with him in the audience “I had a sign that said ‘I love you Paul’. I don’t think he saw it”.
Maybe she was screaming herself!?😉😲😵
That’s the very first big open air concert.
HOOO. RAYY!! No matter how good the individual members are, you can't beat them all together!!
One of their best melodies. John & Paul's harmonies - none better.
Paul and John were amazing but George was severely underrated.
True indeed, you're absolutely right about that. I miss him, George was my favorite Beatle. 🙏🏽
I believe that George was prevented by Paul & John from getting his songs on their albums.@@SimonePhoenix
100% agree with this. George was extremely talented, but was overlooked/underrated because of Paul and John. George was lucky to get one or two songs on any Beatles album, so when the Beatles broke up, George had a ton of great songs ready to go for his solo career. He certainly left an outstanding legacy.
The Beatles are the greatest musical act of all time and the greatest gift given to the world. They have no songs that sound the same as any of their other songs, first to break every barrier of music, revolutionized the way music was recorded, everything in the 60's from clothing to hairstyle was influenced by The Beatles. The Beatles led and everyone else followed and still are to this day. Want proof, Now and Then (the last Beatles song) went #1 in the Uk and #2 in the US, after 50 years of not being together. No other artists can do that.
The SCREAMING! CRYING!! The PASSING OUT!! Is Why it Was Called, BEATLE MANIA!!! 😵💫🎶
I pretty much love/like everything The Beatles did, Still listen to them to this day.
Shea stadium was the 1st stadium rock concert as far as I know. The result of the poor technology from that gig, not being able to hear themselves play was what made them think that they should give up touring and become the first studio band. A band called Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Top 5 musical groups of all time, and my personal 2nd favorite after Prince. The effect the Beatles had on music will continue for all time. Glad you all fell in love with another amazing song in their endless catalog
You guys are unfailingly pleasant. And Jordan, you're a lucky man indeed to get to see that radiant smile every day. Peace.✌️❤
He makes you feel happy even when occasionally he dislikes something.
@@kevinmcfarlane2752 Yeah, and if that wasn't enough, what a pleasure that thousand watt smile of Amber's. What a lovely couple.✌️💚🍏
One of the reasons the Beatles were such a big hit is that there was a lull in pop music. Doo Wop and fifties music was fading away and everybody was looking for something new. Along came the Beatles. Boy did young teenage girls jump on it! Love them or hate them, you have to admit, their timing was right.
Jay & Amber, you'll love their "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and "Let It Be"!!!!!
The genius of the "when stars align" Beatles, was their ability to cobble together all the great new music sounds, add their own gifted original touch and unintentionally create a new genre of music, modern rock and roll... When Beatlemania exploded across America in 64 I was 12 and the feeling was surreal, everyone knew their music had changed the world and some were in shock and not happy campers. Beatlemania ubiquitousness that permeated the radio, TV, newsstands, magazine racks in every store, school supplies, hairstyles, clothes, conversations had all seemed to have entered a new dimension overnight and then kept going for a decade. A phenomenon never to happen again and to this day they are at the top of every list as most total records sales...
True artists, not just musicians.
The gentleman standing in the foreground at 4:45 is Brian Epstein, the Beatles' manager.
Wow, I guess the Beatles will always be iconic and loved. So cool. ❤️
The Beatles were the 1st to play a stadium,,,Shea Stadium. This song was early in their 8 year window of brilliance in late 1964. Rob Squad: Take early songs like this and Please Please Me, then listen to Helter Skelter from 1968 and get your mind blown of how far they evolved in 6 years.
Finally, back to The Beatles! Fun one from the early says 😊 When will you be watching their movies?! The guy in the b&w suit was their manager, Brian Epstien.
Nothing better starting Monday with The Beatles!
I loved the Beatles, saw the first performance on the Ed Sullivan show on Sunday February 9th….I was 11 years old and I still love them still!!!!
I always have to request "Get Back" every time y'all do a Beatles song! Killer bass line and Paul singing. Also, I love "Lady Madonna" and "Paperback Writer", which was a bit earlier. "The Ballad Of John and Yoko" is one that I don't think I've seen anyone react to and I think you'd like it, as it kind of tells the story of the craziness of that time. And "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds" is a great little psychadelic trip. It's amazing though, that they morphed through so many different styles and genres in just the few years they were all together.
My dudes... the best pop rock band ever. no question. keep diving in. any year. any album. its all awesome.
One of my top 5 favorite Beatles songs.
YAY BEATLES!!! One of my favorite Beatles' tunes...that AND HELTER SKELTER!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Do “Get Back” or “Paperback Writer.”
You will LOVE the bass guitar.
Went to see a Hard Day's Night and Help on a double bill at the Capri theater with two friends. We all wore our best poor boys, Charlotte's was lime green, Janet's was blue and I'll be darned if I can remember what color mine was. Even going to see movies with the Beatles in them was a very big deal to us teeny boppers.
Eight Days a Week was one of the first Beatles songs I taught myself when I was learning guitar. I put the song on repeat on my CD player and sounded out the chords as I went along. If either of you are taking guitar lessons, you should learn this one, it's so fun and easy to play and sing, and the both of you could do two-part harmonies.
1965. Shea stadium. Yoy actually could not hear them because they were using baseball p. a . Speaker. Things have improved sound wise!
That strategy is hilarious! Going to pass out but then wait for the right moment and then when you get close to them, pop up out of the stretcher! Laughing my ass off, Amber.
Every Beatles song is full of innovative musical moments.... every song is a rewarding listen
Beatlemania was absolutely a real thing. I watched them on TV on Ed Sullivan in 1964. My sister and I were glued to the TV.
Me too but I was fortunate enough to see them in person in Sept of 64 at the convention center in Philadelphia.. Even got to go backstage but they were gone asap to the Northeast airport. Everyone thought at the time they were leaving by way of International Airport in southwest Philly. Smart move on their part. Lol. .... Good memories......
The little clip of Brian Epstein ❤❤❤
A lot of their old stuff sounds just like this - there was a progression to their sound over time. They are also wearing the Nehru jackets that they basically made famous.
I was at that concert - it may be the first time a band played a stadium. We were only a couple rows up from the field and still didnt hear any music because of the screaming. So funny to think of it now but we were in heaven!
This is one of my favorite Beatles songs! The Beatles dominated the entire world (at least the Western world) like no other artist ever has.
Eight days a week was one of the songs they based on a saying by Ringo, he also came up with A hard days night and Tomorrow never knows.
