The brief history explained it well but there is more. Let’s look at it this way, Michael was obviously a fan of the Beatles, he bought and owned the Beatles catalog for awhile. It all comes down to this, Michael Jackson and Elvis were the greatest individual acts, the Beatles were the greatest band without a doubt.

    The greatest part of The Beatles experience was being there as it unfolded in those 8 years. You can't really understand it fully like waiting for the next album to come out. Back then it was The Beatles and then everyone else. A similar experience was the Motown label. Every album was also anticipated, only with many groups, but very impactful.

During the Beatles decade, that booth was never empty. I’m so blessed to have grown up with them. Truly the soundtrack of my life. ABFF ♥️♥️♥️.

After that, you couldn't go anywhere without hearing a Beatle's song and their pictures were in every magazine marketed to kids. My favorite Beatles songs are "Yesterday", "Let It Be", "Something", "Hey Jude", "Here Comes the Sun", and "Come Together".

    Yes, if you take the Beatles sales, plus Paul McCartney's sales with his other groups and his solo work, he's the best-selling artist ever.

    I think the fellow doing the narration of the Beatles history neglected to mention the fact that while in Hamburg, Ringo Starr stood in as drummer for the Beatles when Pete Best took nights off. This was super critical in how things turned out. John, Paul and George were highly impressed with Ringo's tight drumming during those early Hamburg days. That's why when Pete Best was fired, Ringo was the first one they wanted and 'eureka', he agreed and they went on to,...well you know the rest.

    The song "Day Tripper" was the first song to start a song with feedback.
    Re: the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" was the first 'concept album'. Aka: not an album with 5 - 10 most recent #1 hit songs, which was the norm.
    The Beach Boys then released their album: "Pet Sounds" & blew everything historical out of the water.
    Suggestion:
    Please do a presentation video on how 'the Paul is dead' rumors came about. I promise, you will not be disappointed.
    I am a Domestic Goddess in my very early 60's.
    You really did have photos that I have never seen before.
    Along with some curserary factual information.
    I honestly believe that you represented the thumbnail version very well.
    There was a radio series called: "Breakfast With the Beatles". This format was interviewing a famous rocker musician, like Stephen Tyler. The guest would tell how the Beatles influenced them musically & personally.

Yeah, I was just a kid on my bicycle, pedaling to the store & buying my first vinyl 45 rpm single records, when the Beatles started putting out records. We all right away knew they were something special, because not only did they sound really fresh & exciting, but also because the "B" side on each of their 45 rpm single records sounded GOOD (& not just throw-away crap, like the "B" side would on other artist's singles). Plus, the Beatle just kept CRANKING OUT good records! We couldn't believe it! We all started wearing our hair long too, and felt the Beatles represented us, the youth of the world!!

Another name they went by during the "Silver" period, was "Long John and the Silvermen", which John denied, but Paul said he loved being called Long John. There were also several members not mentioned in the video, including Thomas Moore, their first post-Quarrymen drummer, who was about 15 years older than the others and quit the band suddenly after their tour of Scotland, to get his factory job back to impress his girlfriend.

    Thanks so much for this. I find your comments always so thoughtful. I really enjoy watching your videos.
    I grew up with the Beatles having been born in 55. The first Beatles album that made its way to our small town in the Canadian Rockies was the soundtrack to ‘A Had Day’s Night’. My mom was a professional musician and she adored the Beatles and was ahead of her time. People talked about these weird British boys who had these crazy haircuts. And people talked about the fact that my mom bought that album lol. Small towns ha ha. Everybody had the flat top crew cuts in those days. I still remember looking at the cover of that album and thinking it was so cool, and different.
    I couldn’t possibly name a favourite Beatles album. Or a favourite Beatles song. They are next level, lightning in a bottle.
    I do remember feeling a thrill and shock at hearing the Revolver track, Tomorrow Never Knows. And then I couldn’t stop playing it.
    For people who don’t know the Beatles, I often recommend the famous medley on the B-side of Abbey Road which does indeed end with The End, the last music they recorded together. That medley of short song pieces really gives the listener a good idea of their incredible range. The Beatles could, and did, do anything.
    I loved the fact that they wrote little novels in there music. They wrote about characters. Eleanor Rigby, Maxwell, mean Mr. mustard, polythene Pam, etc. etc. They told stories.
    They are simply the greatest of all time.

    In 1979, when I was 9, and lost my dad to a heart deformity, I clung to the Beatles for solice. I started with the VEEJAY album Introducing the Bealtes. Parlophone's Beatles Rock and Roll music, and The Beatles second album. Within a year I had baled so much hay for local farmers to save up, I had all the Beatles albums by that next Christmas. I didn't really care for any of the 80s music when I was a teen in the 80s, because I was in jazz band and playing sax and trumpet, listening to Chuck Mangione, Miles Davis, and Herb Alpert. The Beatles were about as popular as I got and they always stayed my favorite. Whatever song or album I just listened to is my fav, and that changes each time.

    Marvelous reaction video. I’ve seen the video before but I like to see you reactors reacting! My favorite album? I honestly can’t decide. BTW Bob Dylan is considered to be the foremost songwriter in America, up there with Lennon/McCartney. He has great stuff (though his voice isn’t always the best:-) The Beatlemania stuff was absolutely wild, far beyond anything seen before it (and probably since). I actually remember the the album burning that went on back then; I thought it was ridiculous and didn’t pay much attention to it. Lennon’ s assassin was a fan who was angry about the ‘bigger than Jesus’ quote. At least that’s what he said at the time. More recently, he claims he did it for “fame.” George Harrison and his wife were attacked in their home in 1999 by a crazed man who attempted to murder them with a knife. It was a pretty harrowing experience and doctors said George was lucky not to have been killed. I could go on. There is so much information about the Beatles. I think there are over two thousand books written about them. My last observation is that hearing them for the first time was one of the most joyous experiences of my life. I don’t know why but I can still remember to this day where I was when I first heard them. Thanks for a thoughtful reaction.

I have loved them my whole life and have all their albums. I'm so happy you are taking time to learn about them they are truly amazing 😍

    I, too, am an original Beatlemaniac. I consider myself fortunate to have been around at the perfect time to witness this phenomenon first hand. I was one of the 73 million people who watched that Ed Sullivan show. I was just barely 13 then. I also saw (even if I couldn’t “hear” - except for the song Yesterday - because of the continual deafening screaming of the audience) the Beatles live at DC Stadium on 15 Aug 1966, 2 weeks before their final paying-audience concert. It is true, their impact, influence, contribution and success cannot be understated. I applaud you for taking on the commitment to react to, and learn from, this video. If I may suggest, you might want to watch, not necessarily as a reaction video, but simply for the experience, the Ron Howard documentary “8 Days A Week: the Touring Years”, on the biggest screen possible. It does an outstanding job of conveying the experience of living through Beatlemania. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
    Wishing you all the best.
    Peace, Cary

    Good reaction my friend. I was a young man of 20 yrs when they came onto the scene in England. At that time pop music was lacking vitality for the young, and along came the Beatles with, at first, very simple tracks, but the electricity in the air when their music played was palpable, and everybody felt it and reacted to it. In the large city night clubs the whole place would erupt in song at their music - it was a fabulous time, and of course other fantastic groups followed. The 60's was a very special decade of pop music. Sheffield South Yorkshire.

    Thank you so much for doing this. I grew up listening to The Beatles - my dad was a huge fan. I never knew some of the facts especially the part when they met in the 1950s and the different name changes. Unbelievable the number of hits and albums in less than 9 years. They wrote over 300+ songs together. The best part was they could all sing - although John and Paul did most of the singing and they could all interchangeably be the front man on stage at times (except for Ringo on the drums although he did do some solos). They did stop touring mainly due to being exhausted as well as they couldn't hear themselves due to the loudness of the crowds as well as technology that was only 2 track in the early to mid 1960s - which meant very little surround sound - or none at all. It is funny how a lot of people blamed Yoko Ono for John's distraction (which was true) but Paul had gotten married, George was going through something with his girlfriend. Another great thing was they could all write music and lyrics. Not many all round artists these days. I am thinking of Prince as he was able to write, sing and play multiple instruments.

    I grew up with the Beatles, pretty much as it was happening -- born October 1, 1963. I inherited all my older brothers and sisters Beatle albums and was heavily into my fandom by the end of the decade. But my favorite Beatles albums were those from the early stages, as those were the 1st albums I listened to as a young tike. So, my favorite album is probably "Meet The Beatles" (MTB), which is the U.S. release-version of "With The Beatles", released in the U.K. I just have the best memories of discovering them through that album (and through the "Something New" and "The Beatles Story" records, as well). MTB started with "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and went straight into "I Saw Her Standing There", which was a legendary one-two punch of Rock/Pop awesomeness! From there I was hooked! Every song on that album is great (even deep cuts like "Hold Me Tight")! I love the guitar & drums-driven songs of those early years but I also became a fan of their more experimental music, from 1966 onwards, after I grew up and my tastes matured. The Beatles are truly Legend!

    Hey, Adogg, I watched the whole video until the end. I knew it all before, so let me comment on one point. The lazy press stated Lennon was ‘murdered by a crazed fan’ but that is not really accurate. His killer, who I will not name (more on that later) was living in Hawaii when a girl dumped him. (Smart girl). The killer decided he wanted to ‘become somebody’ by killing someone famous. He had a list on him, or at the grungy place he was staying, of famous people that included Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman, and Mick Jagger. When he left Hawaii for LA, he found that all the famous people lived behind gates and you never knew where they would be. Lennon famously lived at the Dakota, a co-op in NYC, and also famously was known to walk around NY (which he said he could not do in London without being swamped with fans). So the “worm, the devil’s best friend” as George Harrison described him in “All Those Years Ago” a song recorded with McCartney, Ringo, and producer George Martin, a cry of pain at his bandmate ‘s murder, waited outside the Dakota for several days in December 1980. Earlier in the day, the Worm had actually gotten Lennon to sign a copy of Double Fantasy, Lennon’s first album in 5 years, recorded with Yoko as John & Yoko left the Dakota for the studio, recording new music. As they returned later that night, the car they were in took Yoko inside the gates to the courtyard, while Lennon got out on the street to greet fans and sign more autographs. The only reason the “crazed fan” label is attached to the killer is because he acted like a fan, waiting outside the Dakota for an autograph. He waited with a copy of “The Catcher in the Rye” in which the main character labels all adults as “phonies”, reading it as the cops arrived, and said he considered Lennon to be phony for singing about peace, love, and “no possessions” on songs like “Imagine”, while getting rich. But the Killer’s main motivation: get famous by killing someone famous. And he got his wish. Cover of People magazine, one-on-one interview with Barbara Walters. (For which I never forgave Walters. She used to interview newsmakers like Menachem Begin, Anwar Sadat, President Carter, Henry Kissinger, when they were pursuing peace in the Middle East, but became a celebrity whore, interviewing rich daughters who got famous by “leaking” porn home movies, and in this case, murderers.) The killer even said at one of his parole hearings, when asked what he would do if released “I don’t know. What do you do after you’ve murdered John Lennon?” He remains behind bars. But he also remains a sick footnote in our sick celebrity culture.

    This was a few years after they broke up. I was about 8 yrs old, my brother was playing "Help!", the first time I ever heard Beatles music, and something inside me felt euphoric, unbridled, lol! It was the melody and harmonies that moved me, then each instrument. Sounds sappy but that experience opened me up to music. Thank you for bringing back heartfelt memories 💖

Speaking of reactions, sir, I would be very interested in seeing your specific reactions to individual songs of theirs (cf. SyedRewinds). (Also for Bob Dylan info.)

    Yep, watched all the way through. It was fascinating and I loved your comments. Spot-on. I knew much of that but not all of it and it just helps to have it assembled all together in one chunk as a summary. For example, I have that Beatles Anthology and I believe it's like a seven or eight CD collection or dvd whatever it is. Yeah it's DVD. And it goes into incredible detail. But it's just so much to take in.
    I don't have a favorite Beatles album because they are all different, they are like apples and oranges each one, and I really do like all of them, from the really early stuff all the way through to Let It Be.
    I was in high school when John Lennon got assassinated, I was in my bedroom, ironically listening to his 1980 album Double Fantasy that had recently been released to massive critical acclaim. He had totally cleaned up his life by then and along with Yoko Ono, he had a second child, who was just a baby, and some of the songs on the album are about that and family life, but they really were good songs. And I even liked some of her stuff.
    I was listening to a song on it called, Watching the Wheels Go Round And Round, when my mom, who didn't particularly care for the Beatles, knocked on my door, and leaned into my room and said, I just thought you would want to know that John Lennon has just been assassinated.
    We were all in so much shock and a lot of us wore black to school the next day.
