That was the essence of Beatle mania. In 1964, when the Hard Day's Night was shown in Michigan, girls screamed insanely loud. The manager stopped the movie twice, begging girls to not scream so loud. It didn't work.
I had the same experience, I reckon it was about three times the curtains would shut & manager would walk out & threaten to not play the movie if the screaming didn’t stop.. after the third time I guess he thought .. to hell with it .. play it… lol
I don’t even know why they tried to stop them anyway. It was all harmless fun. There’s no way they could have stopped that hysteria. That was a lost cause.
McCartney once said, "We were a good little band." Understatement of the year. He said that whenever they did the head shaking "wooooo", they realized that the girls went wild and started screaming, so they did it more.
Rebeka, you are a doll! Some perspective from an old Beatle origin and a fan of your young generation. They where all born during WWll. Before America had ever heard of them, they had their 10,000 hours of hard work put in in Hamburg's "clubs", shall we say, honing their skills. Although Ed Sullivan was earth shattering, people forget that President Kennedy had been killed barely 90 days past. The super energized release was the world trying to smile again. They did it, influenced by our early rock and rollers. RUclips videos of their Australian and Hollywood Bowl concerts are the best!! It's impossible not to smile in case you need one that day!
The best band in history (and my favourite band among all others) and my favourite RUclips girl in the same video. ¿What could be better than this? I simply love The Beatles, even today. I learned guitar and piano since I was 7 with their songs (now I'm 33). And the girls screaming all the time was one of the reasons Beatles stopped doing live shows in '66. They couldn't hear themselves while performing on stage (back then, it wasn't any In-Ear Monitoring on live shows) 👏👏👏Great job, Becks. As usual 👏👏👏
I was 14 yrs old and the hype advertised was thru the roof. Everyone I knew watched this and thought it was real great with what sounded like a new genre. Prior the Mersey sound was Elvis so huge difference. Great times, thx Rebeka.
They saved the record industry at the same time initiated so many new stars and talented musicians, the force certainly was with them and they had each other, to check each other's ego, so they remained humble and down to earth and even at that, we all knew how great they were. When I saw them perform live in '64 they sounded just like their records they were so spot on, it amazed me, and they still do to this day, I'll admit I was heartbroken when John died after being shot, and that wound has never healed or left me, I thought of them as I would my brothers, and they've yet to ever let me down. I loved them all passionately for their pure inspiration. God bless the Beatles!
Oh thank you for expressing this so well.I was also lucky to see them live in Cardiff UK in their early days.It is impossible to overstate how they did not just change music,but blew in a wind of change that gathered its own momentum through fashion,art etc,etc.It was glorious to be even a tiny part of itand oh how it escalated ...band after wonderful band .We just took that music so forgranted.Just watching this little video had my heart racing as it did when a teen.People don't realise that here in the UK we only had two TV channels so the chances to see them were limited .Do you remember how we cut out every photo we could find to cover our walls and scratched their names into our leather school satchels.I may be old now, but I got to live through the best time ever .Wasn't it just glorious!.Like riding a wave!
Yes I agree Beatles a awesome group alot of great songs.So sad John Lennon passed away, I remember in 1980, I was 14.May John Lennon RIP 💐 And George Harrison
Their live performances are exactly like the recordings - exactly. The key word is fun. They wanted to play music that people could just relate to without having to analyze everything. Just groove and enjoy and most of all smile and laugh. This is a time and musical experience will never happen again. You had to be there and I was lucky enough to be 13 years old in 1963. All of the girls there are grandmothers now and they all remember happier simpler days..
It was a different era and I'm not sure the same kind of thing would be possible today. You have to realize that their audio equipment was simply archaic, they were playing in an auditorium with a sound system that wouldn't match the average one in a home of today. The Beatles were actually only together in the world scene for a short time but were still able to reinvent themselves over and over again. As for the young girls, they literally could not go out anywhere without security as they would get mobbed. If one of them went into a store, the word went out quickly and soon there would be hundreds of young women at any location they were seen.
Lennon's lead vocal with that high pitched rock voice is incredible. The harmonies are really tight with Paul & George & the overall musicianship is excellent. Pop/Rock N Roll at its best. The Beatles were so good they didn't need any other bullshit.
The Australian concert is the best I've seen for quality and songs . The Long And Winding Rd you'll love with the Phil Spector wall of sound with choir and orchestra
simplicity, and almost always a positive uplifting message. I'm 36 and I DJ some weekends and I wish I could go back in time just for a little while sometimes, have a great day!
I am 72 and they still give me goosebumps. And yes they were big fans of Elvis. But their talent extended over time. The chemistry on stage was evident on the Ed Sullivan show. ❤❤😍
What's hilarious is whoever directed this clearly didn't realize John sang lead vocals too and there must have been such panic when he starts singing and they realize only two cameras are set up. One is on Paul's spot and the other is far away. 😂
Correct. And apparently, the director was ill informed because anyone back then that followed the Beatles knew that all the Beatles sang lead ( at least on one song).
You just witnessed what is called Beatlemania. Here in Seattle they were brought to the hotel in an ambulance. Also the hotel is right on the Puget Sound and there's a famous picture of them fishing from the balcony of their room. As all bands back then the biggest influence of all rock bands were the American blues.
@@Blue-qr7qe The Beatles had Liverpool accents and the Stones were pretty posh. although from the London area.I can just imagine Lennon's reaction if you called him a Cockney.😅🤣😆
I remember those days. I was lucky enough to see them live in Atlanta Georgia on August 18th 1965 at Fulton county stadium. I love the Beatles and I miss those sweet simple days. Beatles forever!
Beatlemania is nothing you have ever seen or known before and probably the world will never see again. It was phenomenal and crazy ... I was 14 and a young teen when this came out and I LOVED it.
One question for the cameraman at this show. Was this guy allergic to John Lennon? He singing co lead on "I Want To Hold Your Hand" on "Money" he's singing lead and on "Twist And Shout" he's the lead singer. Kinda amusing looking back on these old clips because Paul was known as the cute Beatle that the girls love do you always see a lot of him. John was known as the witty Beatle and was the dominant one in the group as songwriter and lead singer between 1963-65 and yet in these early performances you see Ringo on the drums more than John. The thing that stuck out to me on this video is the date at the end, December 7, 1963. That was exactly 22 years after the Japanese attacked the US fleet at Pearl Harbor launching us into World War 11. Also it was almost two months to the day that The Beatles were introduced to America on the Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964. Over 73 million people tuned in that night to see these guys and is still the largest television audience in America too watch a TV show 58 years later. Last, it's exactly 17 years and 1 day when John Lennon was murdered on December 8th, 1980 being shot 4 times in the back by a crazy Beatles fan, very sad. I heard you say that it was a simple act which you enjoyed but you have to realize that this was 1963. In those days the technology just wasn't there yet to support a band of this magnitude. Think about this, they only had 25 watt amps for their performances to these crazy fans. They couldn't hear what they were playing half of the time let alone the fans, it had to be kept simple. I saw them live in Pittsburgh, Pa. in 1964 at the age of 6 and there were over 12,500 screaming fans there ( most being teenage girls) and from the count in on you could hardly hear anything but just experiencing an event like that stays with you forever. Every Beatles performance from 63 to 66, their touring years, they only played for 30 minutes for fear of their and the fans safety. You have to realize that these were like barely controlled riot situations. Unless you lived through the Beatlemania years it's hard to understand for younger ones today. The latest one is BTS now are bigger than the Beatles. Please, enough already ! Back in the late nineteenth and early 2000's it was NSYNC and The Backstreet Boys were bigger than The Beatles. Where are they now? Trust me on this one, 50 and a hundred years from now nobody is going too remember or give a flying f_ _ k about BTS, NSYNC, The Backstreet Boys, Drake and your Ariana Grande's of the world but you can bet that The Beatles will still be known and listened to just as Beethoven and Mozart are around 200 plus years later and you can take that to the bank. They were and still are that important to the history of recorded music and popular culture. These four were the game changers in music history and still are 52 years after they split up. When people who study music theory like professor's (you know, people who unlike us actually know what they're talking about) are asked where The Beatles fit into the history of music in western civilization, the one name that always comes up is Beethoven and often followed by Mozart. They will then state that The Beatles had a hell of a lot more music and most of it is catchy as hell. They will then tell you that the likes of Beethoven, Mozart and The Beatles happens once about every 200 or 200 plus years. That's how special these four young men were. The Beatles aren't going anywhere certainly not in my lifetime and certainly not yours. They will be around a long, long time after we're both dead and gone. You can Book It young lady ! ✌️☮️💕👌
This reaction reminds me once again why I subscribe. Rebeka reacts to the video...she doesn't pause it...she doesn't talk over it...she lets you enjoy the music and then she tells you why she did or did not like it. I grew up on the Beatles so I really appreciate hearing the songs without the unnecessary breaks. Thank you Rebeka. You rock!!
Buddy Holly and the Crickets started the modern day band a few years before the Beatles , but it was them and their musical playing and writing ability that paved the way for the thousands of bands of the next 60 plus years to come. Nobody has come close to doing what the Beatles did and most likely, no one ever will.
Simple is what music was at the time. But it was totally different that what everybody else was doing. When the Beatles hit, they hit like a hurricane. The Beatles were an entirely different experience. And they innovated and dropped more bombshell songs after that, with progression on what they had built before. Every bit of music you hear today stems from a contribution from the Beatles. That's how much they changed and influenced the music scene forever.
I play bass in a Beatle tribute band yeah the girls still scream but the only difference is most of them are in their 60s .nice to see the young generation loves them too. Nice.
if you enjoyed that, you will probably enjoy watching their first US concert..... in Washington DC in 1964...it's full of fun things, like the Beatles moving their own equipment around the stage.. just make sure to watch the HD versions with the good sound...
Ah yes. I was a teenager in the 60s, and we all waited in anticipation for each new song by The Beatles. Great times. There is a tribute band called The Fab Four who do a faithful and accurate and fun tribute to The Beatles. And watch out for the guy who plays as Paul. He even does the talking to the audience thing, just like Paul did.
Hello Miss Rebekah !!! Their music was fun indeed !!! & for Me personally Your smile reminds me of ( Here comes the Sun )😊 still Subscribed, like button Illuminated !!!
I hope you are able to watch the whole Beatles Anthology to appreciate what the Beatles did to pop music. And if you heard the music before they came along you could really appreciate their style, beat and why girls went crazy.
RE: your "it was vey simple music " comment, it was but only at the beginning. They soon began evolving and experimenting and actually used the studio technology like another instrument. They literally "played"the studio " as another instrument for Sgt Pepper, Revolver,White album,Ab bey Road, etc. They were extremely influential. The music evolved again and again which is what made them last for so long and still be regarded as so influential. They disbanded over half a century ago and here we are still talking about them.
No it was not simple as you may think .. try & play their music exactly like they did.. I have in bands it’s not easy by any stretch of the imagination.. even their “simple” stuff not to mention their singing ability.
Paul just celebrated his 80th birthday back on June 18. Paul had one of his close friends, Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters and Bruce Springsteen celebrated his birthday during a festival that he was headlined.
There had never been a band like the Beatles. Individual artists like Elvis and Buddy Holly and singing groups. The Beatles all played instruments and sang, something new to music. After their American debut on the Sullivan show in 1964, the whole direction of teen music took off like a rocket.
i Rebeka - THAT was called "Beatlemania" all the girls shrieked, some fainted. I lived through that time - the adults were upset about the long haired ones, but for the youth it was a revolution. And that it was something good, time showed. If you don't know the Beatles, you missed the best time. My favorite songs are from the legendary album "Sgt. Pepper`s Lonely Hearts Club Band"...
Everything today is way overdone and commercialized. Back then and up until about 25 years ago the music itself was the reason to go to a concert, today it's the show. Back then no auto-tune, every member of the band had to have talent.
I love your perspective. I was 7 in 1963 when we first started hearing the Beatles, and it is hard to explain to later generations but we weren't hearing them or thinking of them in the moment as the world's greatest band...we were simply enthralled and memorized. Boys my age were either talking baseball, football, basketball, or Beatles!
True...we were lucky in the midwest because a lot of big stations were playing I Want To Hold Your Hand and others as early as Fall of 63. Thank goodness, as the boys had maintained they did not want to go to America until they had a number one here. Then they arrived in Feb of 1964 and we saw them for the first time on TV!
Hi Rebeka. Great reaction as always. You never can go wrong with listening/reacting to a Beatles performance, especially live. We will never see another influential band like them ever again. Love all your music reactions. Remember, music always brings people together!!!!!!! BTW, how is it that you only have 28 thousand subscribers???? You should have lots more than that, in my opinion... Come on guys, let's get Rebeka up to at least 100,000 subscriber mark..... Keep up the great work on your channel !!!!! 😊😊😊😊
I'm 71 , My deceased brother saw them in Cleveland, Ohio...I have an extensive Beatles collection on wax and more...many original albums! TY for posting!
I like to read the comments. It says 109 comments, but there is only one. Som ting Wong. Anyway, great reaction. I have loved The Beatles since 1964 when they first appeared on TV in the USA. I was 7 years old then, I am going on 66 and I continue to listen to their music every day. Thank you for reacting to them. Loved your reaction.
in 1963 when the Beatles burst onto the World Wide stage I was just 14 years of age but my generation loved them, we had never heard anything like them before, and it seemed like every generation loved them as did every nation Even Putin loved them but older politicians marked them down as a threat because their music and fashion, long hair and the like made them feel uncomfortable. I love your reaction to them.
'Twist and Shout' legendarily had to be recorded at the end of the album, before John's voice finally gave out. ''It nearly killed me...' he later admitted. A defining performance that the Isley Brothers probably weren't altogether concerned about. By then their backline included a guitarist called Jimi Hendrix...
@@tonymorielli7158 Oh! If you seriously don't understand how LZ became the biggest rock band in the world and the rapid development of music in the 60s and 70s you are clueless.All these bands were influenced by Delta blues including The Beatles and The Stones.These records were brought into a post war ravaged Britain.TThey were circulated in the great port cities eg Liverpool ,London and blew the minds of young people.These great blues artists also toured Britain These young guys took it all in and developed it and took it back to America where many white kids due to segregation hadn't had the chance to hear it .Yes Zep on a couple of their records didn't credit original artists,but this was only a tiny fraction of their work.The original artists were unknown to American white kids at the time anyway. All musicians from the beginning of time have built on and developed what came before..It is the nature of the beast .Every now and again artists come along that shake the foundations and bring about change,The Beatles did it and so did Zep.I am old enough to remember the first time a Beatles record was played on the radio and the effect it had on us kids and I also remember being rooted to the spot hearing "Good Times,Bad Times" the first track on Zep's first album.Both era changing events,utterly mindblowing.
@@twpsy634 uh ...no , it wasn't a " tiny fraction of their work " ...it was wayyyy too many riffs , lyrics and in some cases just outright stealing other people's music - only gave credit when they got sued . It's a major stain on their legacy
@@tonymorielli7158 I am well aware of the tracks you mean and they are certainly not a huge portion of their work. I am also aware of the court cases ,the irony being of course that many of the original artists would never have been given any radio time on major stations in the segregated America of the time anyway .I hope that you are holding eg Rap artists up to the same standards. As for it being a MAJOR stain on their legacy there is absolutely no evidence of that whatsoever. Just look here on YOU TUBE at kids reacting to their music .
@@rebekaluizebudlevskamusic No,Thank You Beautiful Woman,,I Really enjoy your genuine enthusiasm and appreciation for the great music that was bestowed upon us!! It Really Gives me hope for the future generations to understand this Great Music!!!😎🤘❤,Keep on Rocking Young Lady!! Hello from New Hampshire U.S.A. 👊
When the Beatles came to New York two months after this performance, it was a stunning conquest. November 1963 the President had been assassinated and frankly the whole nation was still in a complete state of shock in February. The Beatles, performing on TV, were so new, different and talented that they provided us all with a welcome relief. Even my parents watched them with us kids and approved of their music and style.
If you want to know how radical the Beatles sound was in 64 just listen to the sound track from the movie American Graffiti. It was like going from black and white to color.
The girls definitely go nuts. My favorite fan is the little boy looking around like, what the hell is going on here? John is a wonderful closer for the Beatles. "Twist and Shout" had to be an closing song because it was tough on John's vocal cords because he's basically yelling throughout the song.
I remember going to see a couple Beatles movies in the theator with my older Sisters. Thoughout the movie there were flashbulbs going off constantly. BeatleMania Baby!
I am 23 years old and I'm a big fan of the Beatles. I love their songs. I love the Beatles after their separation to 😉 The songs of George Harrison like "My sweet Lord", "Dark Horse", "Stuck inside a cloud" or "Heading for the light", "Handle with care" with The Traveling wilburys. I love the band of Wings, with "Band on the run", "Getting closer", "Venus and Mars / Rockshow" etc... And Paul solo : "Maybe I'm amazed", "Too much rain", "Try not to cry", "Your way"... Of course, John Lennon ! 😉 "Imagine", "Gimme some truth", "#9# dream" (played after by REM)... Well, Ringo... I don't really know his songs 😅. "Goodnight Vienna" (with Lennon), "6 o'clock" (with Mccartney), "It don't come easy" (with Harrison), and his cover versions of the Beatles songs : "Love me do" and "I call your name" (with the Traveling wilburys Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty). 🙂🎸
The secret to the music was the melody with the beat that reached orgasmic crescendos of "ooohs" "yeahs" and howls before an instrumental, all of which would always be followed by the audience screams. Also, the secret to the songwriting was referring to "me" and/or "you" in the titles, which made the music more personable.
@@djm8771People in those days were accustomed to bands having only one lead singer. The Beatles had four. That’s probably what lead to the confusion on the cameraman’s part.
You also hear, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holley and others. Twist and Shout, and Money were covers. But that was not unusual back then. I was 10 years old in 63 and 11 when they came to the states and played on Ed Sullivan.
I missed the mania, but I remember my mom in the kitchen cooking and listening to their music. Great video, I think I will subscribe. I have to run now, I need to go call my mom and tell her I love her.
Yeah, we went from Frank Sinatra, Elvis , etc. to this. While by today's standards this seems juvenile in many ways, It was refreshing for we younger people to have our own music. I've gotta say that it was a wonderful Time to be alive... rather unlike today... Woe, once The Beatles were introduced to Psychedelic Drugs, they were evolving at a fantastic rate. It was awesome to behold. Rebeka, I hope that you remain Well & at least reasonably Happy too. Keep Smiling... Cheers... It was pretty brave of you to listen to this, of all things. Keep on keeping on Kiddo.
Major influences were Chuck Berry (rhythm and lead guitar style), Carl Perkins (lead guitar style), Everly Brothers (harmony), Buddy Holly, Little Richard, and Elvis (vocals), and many others.
Oh God... a great reaction from such a pretty and lovely Rebeka. The very begining of every thing regarding to play in a band, live, on stage. Yes indeed, the very simple, no complications at all, is the best, something like less is more. The next shows the Fab Four held at USA, in the next year, 1964, led from massive TV ratings in Letterman`s Show, to a stunning and crowded stadium shows, the first band to set the trend, touring hughe stadiums performance. The rest, is the Story that followed them in rock bands, until the present day. Thanks for show us your Beatles music love. Cheers, God bless you, sweetheart.
The song “Money (That’s What I Want)” is a cover version of the 1959 Motown hit. “Twist and Shout” was a cover version of a 1961 R&B song which first became a hit for the Isley Brothers in 1962.
I remember the Ed Sullivan show appearance, 1964, and immediately started hounding my mother that I needed Beatles bangs and boots right away. I was 8 years old.

Was the same in Ontario Canada
I LOVE it; -theater managers naively assuming they could hold back the flood gates of Beatlemania!
I don’t even know why they tried to stop them anyway. It was all harmless fun. There’s no way they could have stopped that hysteria. That was a lost cause.
They were 21 to 23 years old when this was recorded. Amazing talent that changed music.
George was 20 when Please Please Me and With the Beatles were recorded. George was born Feb. 25, 1943.
This was late 1963. 20 to 23 years old
Not "changed music", they changed the entire world!!
@@fenderboy68 They certainly did!
Yes I agree 💯 a awesome group 1963 three years before I was born, Elenore Rigby nowhere man and paper back writer was year I was born 💖
McCartney once said, "We were a good little band." Understatement of the year. He said that whenever they did the head shaking "wooooo", they realized that the girls went wild and started screaming, so they did it more.
Rebeka, you are a doll! Some perspective from an old Beatle origin and a fan of your young generation. They where all born during WWll.

Notice how The Beatles never look at their guitars when playing. A sign of true musicians and professionals.
Most successful rock guitarists can do that.
I can notice other things.
The best band in history (and my favourite band among all others) and my favourite RUclips girl in the same video.
¿What could be better than this?
I simply love The Beatles, even today. I learned guitar and piano since I was 7 with their songs (now I'm 33).
And the girls screaming all the time was one of the reasons Beatles stopped doing live shows in '66.
They couldn't hear themselves while performing on stage (back then, it wasn't any In-Ear Monitoring on live shows)

Oh, to be young again and experiencing this all over again for the first time.

They saved rock and roll from dying on the vine.
Oh thank you for expressing this so well.I was also lucky to see them live in Cardiff UK in their early days.It is impossible to overstate how they did not just change music,but blew in a wind of change that gathered its own momentum through fashion,art etc,etc.It was glorious to be even a tiny part of itand oh how it escalated ...band after wonderful band .We just took that music so forgranted.Just watching this little video had my heart racing as it did when a teen.People don't realise that here in the UK we only had two TV channels so the chances to see them were limited .Do you remember how we cut out every photo we could find to cover our walls and scratched their names into our leather school satchels.I may be old now, but I got to live through the best time ever .Wasn't it just glorious!.Like riding a wave!
Yes I agree Beatles a awesome group alot of great songs.So sad John Lennon passed away, I remember in 1980, I was 14.May John Lennon RIP 💐 And George Harrison
When you have REAL talent you don't need anything else.
except louder PA systems and amps...
I'm 75, saw them at Dodger stadium & couldn't hear a damn note of their music.
Their live performances are exactly like the recordings - exactly. The key word is fun. They wanted to play music that people could just relate to without having to analyze everything. Just groove and enjoy and most of all smile and laugh. This is a time and musical experience will never happen again. You had to be there and I was lucky enough to be 13 years old in 1963. All of the girls there are grandmothers now and they all remember happier simpler days..
It was a different era and I'm not sure the same kind of thing would be possible today. You have to realize that their audio equipment was simply archaic, they were playing in an auditorium with a sound system that wouldn't match the average one in a home of today. The Beatles were actually only together in the world scene for a short time but were still able to reinvent themselves over and over again. As for the young girls, they literally could not go out anywhere without security as they would get mobbed. If one of them went into a store, the word went out quickly and soon there would be hundreds of young women at any location they were seen.
Don’t forget the sound system wasn’t sophisticated enough, back then, to hear themselves.
Before they were 30, they had shook up the world. 7 short years, but still at the top.
Lennon's lead vocal with that high pitched rock voice is incredible. The harmonies are really tight with Paul & George & the overall musicianship is excellent. Pop/Rock N Roll at its best.
The Beatles were so good they didn't need any other bullshit.
Thank you for posting the Beatles " I saw this on TV 📺 I was only 9 years old back then" we didn't have color TV yet" 😉
The Australian concert is the best I've seen for quality and songs . The Long And Winding Rd you'll love with the Phil Spector wall of sound with choir and orchestra

@@Blue-qr7qe The Beatles had Liverpool accents and the Stones were pretty posh. although from the London area.I can just imagine Lennon's reaction if you called him a Cockney.😅🤣😆
I remember those days. I was lucky enough to see them live in Atlanta Georgia on August 18th 1965 at Fulton county stadium. I love the Beatles and I miss those sweet simple days. Beatles forever!
Beatles 4 Ever, the Fab Four, 4 lads who shook the world! The GOAT of bands.
Beatlemania is nothing you have ever seen or known before and probably the world will never see again. It was phenomenal and crazy ... I was 14 and a young teen when this came out and I LOVED it.
One question for the cameraman at this show. Was this guy allergic to John Lennon? He singing co lead on "I Want To Hold Your Hand" on "Money" he's singing lead and on "Twist And Shout" he's the lead singer. Kinda amusing looking back on these old clips because Paul was known as the cute Beatle that the girls love do you always see a lot of him. John was known as the witty Beatle and was the dominant one in the group as songwriter and lead singer between 1963-65 and yet in these early performances you see Ringo on the drums more than John. The thing that stuck out to me on this video is the date at the end, December 7, 1963. That was exactly 22 years after the Japanese attacked the US fleet at Pearl Harbor launching us into World War 11. Also it was almost two months to the day that The Beatles were introduced to America on the Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964. Over 73 million people tuned in that night to see these guys and is still the largest television audience in America too watch a TV show 58 years later. Last, it's exactly 17 years and 1 day when John Lennon was murdered on December 8th, 1980 being shot 4 times in the back by a crazy Beatles fan, very sad. I heard you say that it was a simple act which you enjoyed but you have to realize that this was 1963. In those days the technology just wasn't there yet to support a band of this magnitude. Think about this, they only had 25 watt amps for their performances to these crazy fans. They couldn't hear what they were playing half of the time let alone the fans, it had to be kept simple. I saw them live in Pittsburgh, Pa. in 1964 at the age of 6 and there were over 12,500 screaming fans there ( most being teenage girls) and from the count in on you could hardly hear anything but just experiencing an event like that stays with you forever. Every Beatles performance from 63 to 66, their touring years, they only played for 30 minutes for fear of their and the fans safety. You have to realize that these were like barely controlled riot situations. Unless you lived through the Beatlemania years it's hard to understand for younger ones today. The latest one is BTS now are bigger than the Beatles. Please, enough already ! Back in the late nineteenth and early 2000's it was NSYNC and The Backstreet Boys were bigger than The Beatles. Where are they now? Trust me on this one, 50 and a hundred years from now nobody is going too remember or give a flying f_ _ k about BTS, NSYNC, The Backstreet Boys, Drake and your Ariana Grande's of the world but you can bet that The Beatles will still be known and listened to just as Beethoven and Mozart are around 200 plus years later and you can take that to the bank. They were and still are that important to the history of recorded music and popular culture. These four were the game changers in music history and still are 52 years after they split up. When people who study music theory like professor's (you know, people who unlike us actually know what they're talking about) are asked where The Beatles fit into the history of music in western civilization, the one name that always comes up is Beethoven and often followed by Mozart. They will then state that The Beatles had a hell of a lot more music and most of it is catchy as hell. They will then tell you that the likes of Beethoven, Mozart and The Beatles happens once about every 200 or 200 plus years. That's how special these four young men were. The Beatles aren't going anywhere certainly not in my lifetime and certainly not yours. They will be around a long, long time after we're both dead and gone. You can Book It young lady ! ✌️☮️💕👌
This reaction reminds me once again why I subscribe. Rebeka reacts to the video...she doesn't pause it...she doesn't talk over it...she lets you enjoy the music and then she tells you why she did or did not like it. I grew up on the Beatles so I really appreciate hearing the songs without the unnecessary breaks. Thank you Rebeka. You rock!!
Thank you.:)
Buddy Holly and the Crickets started the modern day band a few years before the Beatles , but it was them and their musical playing and writing ability that paved the way for the thousands of bands of the next 60 plus years to come. Nobody has come close to doing what the Beatles did and most likely, no one ever will.
Never forget Buddy Holly, he wrote his own songs. Legend in my eyes.
Simple is what music was at the time. But it was totally different that what everybody else was doing. When the Beatles hit, they hit like a hurricane. The Beatles were an entirely different experience. And they innovated and dropped more bombshell songs after that, with progression on what they had built before. Every bit of music you hear today stems from a contribution from the Beatles. That's how much they changed and influenced the music scene forever.
R.I.P. John and George. ⚘⚘
I play bass in a Beatle tribute band yeah the girls still scream but the only difference is most of them are in their 60s .nice to see the young generation loves them too. Nice.
if you enjoyed that, you will probably enjoy watching their first US concert..... in Washington DC in 1964...it's full of fun things, like the Beatles moving their own equipment around the stage.. just make sure to watch the HD versions with the good sound...
Finally a reaction video where there isn't a ⏸ every few seconds followed by commentary.
I'm from Liverpool and the lads songs are like in-bedded in us. One chord and we know it.
Plus I win every karaoke contest when I'm out of Liverpool 😆
There you have it, Rebeka, the uproar of Beatlemania (you heard the female fans!). And The Beatles were just getting started!!
Ah yes. I was a teenager in the 60s, and we all waited in anticipation for each new song by The Beatles. Great times. There is a tribute band called The Fab Four who do a faithful and accurate and fun tribute to The Beatles. And watch out for the guy who plays as Paul. He even does the talking to the audience thing, just like Paul did.
Harrison once said they saved the world from boredom and he was right………….Mind you, he also said perhaps they’d last five years.
Thanks, I was 4yrs old when they came to America, and was inspired to play drums by watching them on Ed Sullivan .Great video.
Another Awesome Reaction......
I LUV how you mentioned how "Simple" the performance was.... Allowing the Vocals to be "showcased".....
Thank you.:)
They changed the world.
The Beatles performing Twist and Shout live is them at their most primal level. Absolutely the greatest rock band that will ever be
Hello Miss Rebekah !!! Their music was fun indeed !!! & for Me personally Your smile reminds me of ( Here comes the Sun )😊
still Subscribed, like button Illuminated !!!
I love especially "Twist and shout" when they scream 🙂🎸
Great reaction, thanks for the memories😊😊😊
The Beatles sound great, and, Rebeka'a looks great! Thanks for uploading and reacting.
I still get a charge out of it. Thanks Rebeka
❤ (Class of 71) ❤I remember when they first came to America 😊 my kids,grand & great-grandchildren weren't even thought of ...❤Blessings❤ 2024😊
Nothing will ever top the Beatles
0:15 i want to hold your hand
3:16 money (that's what i want)
5:59 twist and shout
8:16 from me to you
I hope you are able to watch the whole Beatles Anthology to appreciate what the Beatles did to pop music. And if you heard the music before they came along you could really appreciate their style, beat and why girls went crazy.
RE: your "it was vey simple music " comment, it was but only at the beginning. They soon began evolving and experimenting and actually used the studio technology like another instrument. They literally "played"the studio " as another instrument for Sgt Pepper, Revolver,White album,Ab bey Road, etc. They were extremely influential.
The music evolved again and again which is what made them last for so long and still be regarded as so influential. They disbanded over half a century ago and here we are still talking about them.
No it was not simple as you may think .. try & play their music exactly like they did.. I have in bands it’s not easy by any stretch of the imagination.. even their “simple” stuff not to mention their singing ability.
Paul just celebrated his 80th birthday back on June 18. Paul had one of his close friends, Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters and Bruce Springsteen celebrated his birthday during a festival that he was headlined.
December 7, 1963...Liverpool Empire...they would come to America on Feb.7, 1964...and change the world!!!
Nobody played better live, than The Beatles. Their stagecraft and musicianship was second to none. They were fantastic !
I just Love Your cute reactions to The Beatles Music! You truly got the Sweet Ticlky feelings of Beatle Mania! ❤
✨Thank You✨
There had never been a band like the Beatles. Individual artists like Elvis and Buddy Holly and singing groups. The Beatles all played instruments and sang, something new to music. After their American debut on the Sullivan show in 1964, the whole direction of teen music took off like a rocket.
Top selling musicians of all time.
i Rebeka - THAT was called "Beatlemania" all the girls shrieked, some fainted.
I lived through that time - the adults were upset about the long haired ones, but for the youth it was a revolution.
And that it was something good, time showed. If you don't know the Beatles, you missed the best time.
My favorite songs are from the legendary album "Sgt. Pepper`s Lonely Hearts Club Band"...
Everything today is way overdone and commercialized. Back then and up until about 25 years ago the music itself was the reason to go to a concert, today it's the show. Back then no auto-tune, every member of the band had to have talent.
The Beatles Are The Best 💯 Period
I think you kinda had to be there...
From here, now, it looks pretty absurd. But then, and there...
It was, somehow... earth shattering.
I love your perspective. I was 7 in 1963 when we first started hearing the Beatles, and it is hard to explain to later generations but we weren't hearing them or thinking of them in the moment as the world's greatest band...we were simply enthralled and memorized. Boys my age were either talking baseball, football, basketball, or Beatles!
Most people in the USA did not hear of the Beatles until January 1964.
True...we were lucky in the midwest because a lot of big stations were playing I Want To Hold Your Hand and others as early as Fall of 63. Thank goodness, as the boys had maintained they did not want to go to America until they had a number one here. Then they arrived in Feb of 1964 and we saw them for the first time on TV!
Thank you.:)
The fact that one band could influence so many bands and artists for decades shows just how great The Beatles are
Money, is a 1959 MoTown song from Barret Strong. Big hit in 1960.
Hi Rebeka. Great reaction as always. You never can go wrong with listening/reacting to a Beatles performance, especially live. We will never see another influential band like them ever again. Love all your music reactions. Remember, music always brings people together!!!!!!! BTW, how is it that you only have 28 thousand subscribers???? You should have lots more than that, in my opinion... Come on guys, let's get Rebeka up to at least 100,000 subscriber mark..... Keep up the great work on your channel !!!!! 😊😊😊😊
Thank you.:)
The Beatles are a awesome group alot of great songs.1963,was three years before I was born 💖
I'm 71 , My deceased brother saw them in Cleveland, Ohio...I have an extensive Beatles collection on wax and more...many original albums! TY for posting!
I was born in February of 1964 when Beatles came to this country for 1st time....58 years ago.
Loved your expression when John says "shut up" and did his funny little stomp while Paul is introducing their last number . Priceless !!
Good the concerts in th beegining 1962- 1964 the best musuc tbe Beatles
The young lady at 4:42 is either your doppelganger or you traveled back in time or you have the secret to eternal youth!!!
This wasn't their "new" single. This was a cover of the first successful MOTOWN song that came out in 1959. That song being "Money".
Thank you very much ! 🙂🙌
I like to read the comments. It says 109 comments, but there is only one. Som ting Wong. Anyway, great reaction. I have loved The Beatles since 1964 when they first appeared on TV in the USA. I was 7 years old then, I am going on 66 and I continue to listen to their music every day. Thank you for reacting to them. Loved your reaction.
in 1963 when the Beatles burst onto the World Wide stage I was just 14 years of age but my generation loved them, we had never heard anything like them before, and it seemed like every generation loved them as did every nation Even Putin loved them but older politicians marked them down as a threat because their music and fashion, long hair and the like made them feel uncomfortable. I love your reaction to them.
'Twist and Shout' legendarily had to be recorded at the end of the album, before John's voice finally gave out. ''It nearly killed me...' he later admitted. A defining performance that the Isley Brothers probably weren't altogether concerned about. By then their backline included a guitarist called Jimi Hendrix...
The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin are the two greatest influencers of all time! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
what in the hell does Zeppelin have to do with this ? ,,,btw ,,,they steal other people's music
@@tonymorielli7158 Oh! If you seriously don't understand how LZ became the biggest rock band in the world and the rapid development of music in the 60s and 70s you are clueless.All these bands were influenced by Delta blues including The Beatles and The Stones.These records were brought into a post war ravaged Britain.TThey were circulated in the great port cities eg Liverpool ,London and blew the minds of young people.These great blues artists also toured Britain These young guys took it all in and developed it and took it back to America where many white kids due to segregation hadn't had the chance to hear it .Yes Zep on a couple of their records didn't credit original artists,but this was only a tiny fraction of their work.The original artists were unknown to American white kids at the time anyway. All musicians from the beginning of time have built on and developed what came before..It is the nature of the beast .Every now and again artists come along that shake the foundations and bring about change,The Beatles did it and so did Zep.I am old enough to remember the first time a Beatles record was played on the radio and the effect it had on us kids and I also remember being rooted to the spot hearing "Good Times,Bad Times" the first track on Zep's first album.Both era changing events,utterly mindblowing.
@@twpsy634 uh ...no , it wasn't a " tiny fraction of their work " ...it was wayyyy too many riffs , lyrics and in some cases just outright stealing other people's music - only gave credit when they got sued . It's a major stain on their legacy
@@tonymorielli7158 I am well aware of the tracks you mean and they are certainly not a huge portion of their work. I am also aware of the court cases ,the irony being of course that many of the original artists would never have been given any radio time on major stations in the segregated America of the time anyway .I hope that you are holding eg Rap artists up to the same standards. As for it being a MAJOR stain on their legacy there is absolutely no evidence of that whatsoever. Just look here on YOU TUBE at kids reacting to their music .
@@twpsy634 bottom line , when you cover someone's music and take writing credits , it makes you a plagiarist ..period
How they went from this turning into a Walrus in 3 1/2 years is more than I'll ever know. Maybe Bob Dylan knows.
Beautiful eyes. Thanks again for your attention to detail.
Great Reaction Beautiful young lady!! Just Love that smile!!😎🤘❤🔥🎸🎧🎙... Yup,You just witnessed Beatle-Mania!!!
Thank you.:)
@@rebekaluizebudlevskamusic No,Thank You Beautiful Woman,,I Really enjoy your genuine enthusiasm and appreciation for the great music that was bestowed upon us!! It Really Gives me hope for the future generations to understand this Great Music!!!😎🤘❤,Keep on Rocking Young Lady!! Hello from New Hampshire U.S.A. 👊
❤🤘😘,Right back at ya!!😎😉
When the Beatles came to New York two months after this performance, it was a stunning conquest. November 1963 the President had been assassinated and frankly the whole nation was still in a complete state of shock in February. The Beatles, performing on TV, were so new, different and talented that they provided us all with a welcome relief. Even my parents watched them with us kids and approved of their music and style.
If you want to know how radical the Beatles sound was in 64 just listen to the sound track from the movie American Graffiti. It was like going from black and white to color.
Before The Beatles, the big hit single that year was Sugar Shack. Give THAT a listen, 'nuff said.
Great reaction Rebeka I remember the Beatles from my youth
When I watch the Beatles I am in my youth. All thsoe years and all those memories.
Thank you.:)
The girls definitely go nuts. My favorite fan is the little boy looking around like, what the hell is going on here? John is a wonderful closer for the Beatles. "Twist and Shout" had to be an closing song because it was tough on John's vocal cords because he's basically yelling throughout the song.
I remember going to see a couple Beatles movies in the theator with my older Sisters. Thoughout the movie there were flashbulbs going off constantly. BeatleMania Baby!
I am 23 years old and I'm a big fan of the Beatles. I love their songs.
I love the Beatles after their separation to 😉
The songs of George Harrison like "My sweet Lord", "Dark Horse", "Stuck inside a cloud" or "Heading for the light", "Handle with care" with The Traveling wilburys.
I love the band of Wings, with "Band on the run", "Getting closer", "Venus and Mars / Rockshow" etc... And Paul solo :
"Maybe I'm amazed", "Too much rain", "Try not to cry", "Your way"...
Of course, John Lennon ! 😉 "Imagine", "Gimme some truth", "#9# dream" (played after by REM)...
Well, Ringo... I don't really know his songs 😅.
"Goodnight Vienna" (with Lennon), "6 o'clock" (with Mccartney), "It don't come easy" (with Harrison), and his cover versions of the Beatles songs : "Love me do" and "I call your name" (with the Traveling wilburys Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty). 🙂🎸
The secret to the music was the melody with the beat that reached orgasmic crescendos of "ooohs" "yeahs" and howls before an instrumental, all of which would always be followed by the audience screams. Also, the secret to the songwriting was referring to "me" and/or "you" in the titles, which made the music more personable.
Rebeka! Looking just as beautiful as always!
Keep up the nice work/job/channel!
Kudos!
Thank you.:)
I sure don't miss the camera direction of rock and roll shows in the 60's and 70's. Not one close-up of John - even singing lead on 2 songs!
Agreed. It was like they were actively avoiding him
@@djm8771People in those days were accustomed to bands having only one lead singer. The Beatles had four. That’s probably what lead to the confusion on the cameraman’s part.
You also hear, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holley and others. Twist and Shout, and Money were covers. But that was not unusual back then. I was 10 years old in 63 and 11 when they came to the states and played on Ed Sullivan.
I missed the mania, but I remember my mom in the kitchen cooking and listening to their music. Great video, I think I will subscribe. I have to run now, I need to go call my mom and tell her I love her.
Rebeka, I could watch you dance all day.
Yeah, we went from Frank Sinatra, Elvis , etc. to this. While by today's standards this seems juvenile in many ways, It was refreshing for we younger people to have our own music. I've gotta say that it was a wonderful Time to be alive... rather unlike today... Woe, once The Beatles were introduced to Psychedelic Drugs, they were evolving at a fantastic rate. It was awesome to behold. Rebeka, I hope that you remain Well & at least reasonably Happy too. Keep Smiling... Cheers...
It was pretty brave of you to listen to this, of all things. Keep on keeping on Kiddo.
Major influences were Chuck Berry (rhythm and lead guitar style), Carl Perkins (lead guitar style), Everly Brothers (harmony), Buddy Holly, Little Richard, and Elvis (vocals), and many others.
You should do a reaction to their final live performance on the rooftop of Apple Records. Very nice!
Twist and Shout is an old Isley Brothers song from the early 60s that was also a hit.
Oh God... a great reaction from such a pretty and lovely Rebeka. The very begining of every thing regarding to play in a band, live, on stage. Yes indeed, the very simple, no complications at all, is the best, something like less is more. The next shows the Fab Four held at USA, in the next year, 1964, led from massive TV ratings in Letterman`s Show, to a stunning and crowded stadium shows, the first band to set the trend, touring hughe stadiums performance. The rest, is the Story that followed them in rock bands, until the present day. Thanks for show us your Beatles music love. Cheers, God bless you, sweetheart.
Thank you.:)
The song “Money (That’s What I Want)” is a cover version of the 1959 Motown hit. “Twist and Shout” was a cover version of a 1961 R&B song which first became a hit for the Isley Brothers in 1962.
I remember the Ed Sullivan show appearance, 1964, and immediately started hounding my mother that I needed Beatles bangs and boots right away. I was 8 years old.
