Corrections: Patti was George's wife in 1967, not girlfriend. And at 33:53 I made a blunder and incorrectly added a picture of Derek Taylor. Keep them coming guys! This is my first video and I want them to be as thorough and accurate as possible!
Anyone criticising George shud realise he was a 25 year old superstar, with every worldly pleasure available at his feet. The fact that he even made an earnest attempt to seek a spiritual centre & was endlessly curious towards such experiences is a marvelous thing in itself.
do you know much about artists at that time? Dylan found god, Joni and a FUCKTON of trendy hippies basically established the Goa white hippie raver tourist trade that exists to this day, hell even Dennis Wilson hung out with fucking Charles Manson. What's actually surprising is that all of the other Beatles didn't SERIOUSLY join the spiritual trend of the time and get as high on their own farts as George did. They were always a bit smarter and older than him, though...
Great work and I am very much looking forward to Part 2. I did notice two small errors in the video. Across the Universe was recorded before travelling to India and the 1st photo of Robert Fraser appears to be Derek Taylor. Best wishes, RNB
A little add on ,, I used o be involved in the Art & Music Scene in Dublin and London late 60ts to 1975,, as an Artist I was always in and around Bands ect.. I use to frequent a well known Bar in west London where many musicians and artists hung out,, Jenny was one of the gang but i had no idea she was Pattie's sister! She left to go to see through the crowded Bar family ,, an hour later I walk past there table and was asked to join them it as Eric & Patti So Pattie asked me about living in west London in the late 60ts saying they shot Ringo's walk about there in a hard days night ,, I started to hum (Johns This Boy) an Eric put his hands to his face and cried little ,, Patti said in a whisper hes still very upset at the outrages murder of his friend,, this was only 6 months later 1981,, just a rock an roll story blast from the past. love from the wilds of the west of Ireland
Nice tone to this video. There's always room in the world for more personal appreciations of the lads. Don't worry too much about small errors, we all make them - recall that Paul says he doesn't bother with details being correct in his own stories.
Really nice work; I thought I'd seen all the film footage of that period, but I saw a lot for the first time here! One correction - John had already written and recorded Across The Universe before they left for India, so that song wasn't written in India.
Thanks for the correction! Honestly, one thing I’ve learned writing this was there is a lot of conflicting information out there regarding so much! Just have to double/triple check things
Fantastic video, can’t wait for the next part. Imo this period combined with the White Album sessions is what a big budget Beatles biopic should focus on
He allegedly had a influencial acid trip within the last days of when this happened and allegedly called in the staff of apple corp to express that he was the second coming of jesus, Seriously
This is the most interesting period in Beatles history. Kind of disappointing Scorsese made his documentary about 1964, everybody knows about Beatlemania. 68 is where to interesting stuff is really at, such in important year not only for The Beatles, but also for the world. At least we have this video. It’s done very well!
thank you so much! I think Peter Jackson has something like 8 hours of footage from the White Album sessions, so I really hope that reaches the light of day
@@MakingoftheBeatles Where did you read that? The Beatles were filmed on a couple of days during those sessions (While recording Blackbird and Hey Jude, respectively), but I don't think that that amounts to eight hours of footage. I might be wrong, though
So I’d need to find a clip of the interview to be sure (I’m just referencing a Reddit thread) but according to the thread Peter Jackson said he had 3-4 hours of white album footage (not 8 like I said)
George didn’t practice what he preached. Had an affair with Ringo’s wife!!! With all the women in the world he has to do that to his band mate. So with all his spiritual BS he lacked common decency and was just as flawed as the rest of us. So pretending that he knew all the answers and knew anymore than the rest of us is just nonsense. Lennon was no better-a horrible husband and father deserting Julian just like his own father deserted him. Musically the Beatles were unstoppable and still stand alone IMO as the most amazing band in history-but don’t look to closely at character profiles.
I love George but he was massive hypocrite like most religious people he was incredibly bitter toward Paul and the whole beatle thing and he sure loved money like all religious people
I'm not really arguing with you guys. You're largely right, although I think you're being unduly harsh. They had SO MUCH history together by the time they split. And there are things that aren't talked about much. Like, did you all know that due to the contract they all had with the publishing company, Northern Songs, John and Paul made more money on George's songs than George himself did? And no, this was not somehow reciprocated by George making anything from J and P's songs. How effed up is that? Their finances were a disaster. Utter chaos. It had been clear for some time before the breakup that the publishing was really all they were going to have, going forward. George had been given one song per album side since the very early days, and that never changed. I also believe that he gave a lot of money away, to charity. You might not like the org's that he gave a lot of it to, but I do think the charge of "Supposedly so religious, but he sure liked money" is a little unfair. He did try to make the world a little better place, even spending some of his own to do so. And being a musician is financially precarious. He was not even 30 when they broke up. Then Allen Klein effed them too. What was he supposed to do? Get a job? He had a real need to get interested in money, and try to protect what he could from the vultures. He had such a backlog of material, good material, that his first solo album was a TRIPLE. That was nearly unheard of for a whole band. There's a considerable amount of his resentment that I think is fairly easy to understand, when you hear a lot of these stories at once. While My Guitar Gently Weeps: the way I heard the story of Clapton's involvement was that when that song came up in the rotation and George started to work on it, he wound up so upset and frustrated with John and Paul for what he perceived as their major lack of interest in it that he got Eric to come in order to shame them into taking it effing seriously - and it worked. I could go on, and I'm not even an expert on their history. I just think that he deserves a little more benefit of doubt re: the things he's gotten a bad rap for.
How pretentious that you think you can judge people looking at their lives from a distance as if you know all. A "massive hypocrite." That's interesting. He lived, he loved. He wanted to explore and try and expand himself. When did he ever say he was perfect? How do you know he loved money? And if he did, so what? True spirituality includes everything, it is inclusive, not exclusive. Shows what you know. Wealth and the sacred are not mutually exclusive. And don't be so stupid as to just lump everyone together. That's what the mind loves to do. There are sincere religious people. And there are egoists in every area in life. You are all puffed up. Check yourself first mate. Before slinging insults and judgements. That's what spirituality is. Looking inwards at yourself - not others.
The Maharishi gave each Beatle a mantra and said “Don’t tell anyone what yours is”. After the fallout with the Maharishi, John and George told each other what their mantra was. They both said “That’s mine!”
On a side note: You even consider George's 1979 version of Not Guilty an "abomination". That's too much harsh! I can swear to you that there are people who actually prefer the 1979 version over the 1968 one. I don't know if I'm part of those, but I can certainly appreciate George's solo rendition of the song for its own merits. They are two completely different arrangements, with the solo version being more meditative and jazzy, and actually more similar to George's original demo/idea. I quite like it as it is, but I also enjoy The Beatles' version a lot. They are both good
Another correction: You stated that Lennon wrote Across The Universe in Rishikesh while the song had been already written and recorded in February 1968 before The Beatles left for India. Also, in the list of songs written by Paul in Rishikesh you should include Cosmically Conscious, the McCartney recorded in 1992 and released the following year as a B-side. Also, regarding the Kinfauns demos: George also recorded While My Guitar Gently Weeps that days, so Piggie wasn't his only song from those demos to end on the White Album
I need to double triple check my information next time! Was the first recording for the World Wildlife Fund? And gosh maybe I’m just showing my bias there… it is definitely intentionally a much different arrangement, but I really do think the Beatles recording fits the song more, and I adore the guitar in that version
@@MakingoftheBeatles The WWF recording and the Let It Be album version are based on the same take, recorded in February 1968. The Wildlife version was speeded up and adorned with bird sounds in late 1969 for its charity album release, while Phil Spector slowed down the song and adorned it with the orchestra and choir. But they are the same performance, recorded at Abbey Road prior to The Beatles flying to India P.S. I edited my comment detaching the Not Guilty issue 😀 and giving it its own comment, while I implemented this one with a note regarding While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Appreciate your insight! Idk if you saw my response to the first Not guilty comment but I just really love the Beatles recording so much that the loungey/jazz re-re-recording sounds totally off the wall for ne
@@MakingoftheBeatles It's alright to prefer one to another, it's just that the term "abomination" is a bit too strong in my opinion for a version which has its own merits and which is enjoyable for many people
Big Jim Sullivan, a well regarded session musician, was playing the sitar before George. In fact, some suspect he played on at least some Beatles tracks with sitar.
Just so you know, the photo you use under reference of Robert Asher is not Asher. That’s Derek Taylor, the Beatles’ publicist. Otherwise, cracking video!
I think 1967 broke The Beatles. 1966 could have been the end, as their touring days were over, but the sessions for "Strawberry Fields" and "Penny Lane" encouraged them to go into the studio. Making Sgt. Pepper bored everyone in this order: first Ringo; then George; then John; and Paul was a workaholic who never lost interest in his own ideas. Then they wandered through the recording of the Magical Mystery Tour, lost Brian, and bombed with their Christmas debut of the MMT movie. They didn't want to go out on a dud, so they tried to rebuild in India, made what amounts to four solo albums, and bickered their way through late 1968 and 1969. But '67-'69 were the downward arc of The Beatles.
The Beatles personal family dramas’ shouldn’t make anyone blink. I got hooked because of their music and voices; didnt/ don’t care much about their “dirty laundry”. Goo goo ga joob!
What broke them was Money and the drive to get it, because if Music truly mattered to Lennon and McCartney, George Harrison coming up with a song shouldn't bother them so much. Nor should he be told his creations aren't as good as Wild Honey Pie or Revolution #9. If it was about Music, they should have been happy someone else was contributing to the band, and taking some of the load off of them (He took a huge load off of them when "Taxman" was the opening tune on Revolver. That's a big sign this dude can come up with the goods.) But they truly split when Harrison, Lennon, and Starr were all very happy to continue on with Brian Epstein, and Paul McCartney was not. And there you have it. That's when they split. And it's been the three of them, against him, since. Cuz the three of them actually know Lennon is its driving force, he's not going to write something just to get a hit, he'll write something saying exactly what he wants to say, whether it's wise or foolish, informed or misguided. He'll write it. And he's not going to tell you how to play it, what not to play, don't play at all. He's going to let you come up with what you think the song wants. And if he's got three bits of songs he doesn't know what to do with, he'll trust you to arrange it somehow so it all makes sense. And that's what he had in George Harrison. An arranger. Because that's exactly how you get She Said She Said and Happiness is a Warm Gun. Harrison helping Lennon sort all those bits out so they make sense. McCartney has no idea he's in a band. That's why Wings was perfect for him. He could pay them little, tell them what to do, and if they didn't like it, they could leave. Which they did. Harrison, Lennon and Starr knew Allen Klein was bullshit all the way back in November 1966, when he claimed he had two Beatles as clients, and this made the national papers. Brian Epstein knew he was bullshit back in 1964, and had nothing to do with his offers or assistance. So why McCartney paints this picture that Klein dropped out of the sky one day in 1969, and bedazzled the other three with his shining light is a mystery. And you can't say the guy is ripping everyone off, when you yourself are buying up Lennon's shares in your company together, behind his back, can you.
@@CantTellYou Thanks! I do not know how McCartney successfully sued the other Beatles, because his case against Klein was so flimsy. Klein did actually do for the band what he said he would do, what he was hired for. He got them the higher royalty rate they were waiting for years to receive, being the band they were.
"The Answer?" Just who the hell said there even was one? And if there is, why didn't this spiritual master, who sought to spread his light to the world, let everyone in on it?
Meditation is great for SOME people like this “ GURU” was nothing but a hypocrite , while he preached abstinence yet he supposedly ( from john himself ) hit on all the girls that the Beatles brought with them, so i was not there but why would john lie ? Good video…peace
Bungalow Bill was a hunter at the retreat. He was a major big game hunter and a strange guy to The Beatles. He later declaimed hunting and became a nature photographer. I can’t remember if it was directly after his visit to the ashram or later… he’s mentioned in an excellent documentary by a Canadian guy who befriended The Beatles by chance and took amazing pics of them at the Ashram. The pics were filed away for 50+ years before his daughter made him share them with the world.
Watch out songwriters the world over if Mike Love is within a hundred miles of you doing the writing he will want credit. What a goof. How anyone could believe Yoko was an artist of any kind is in itself a joke. If she is an artist of any kind it's as a con artist and a leach.
I believe Bungalow Bill is documented as being a clever, shrewd attack upon the Mahufishy for his alleged sexual indiscretions. Rather than call him out by name, John substituted the fictional character of B Bill. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Ok, I'll correct you because you are wrong 😀 The song you are meaning is not The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill but instead Sexy Sadie, that John started writing as he and George were waiting for the taxis to bring them out of the ashram to the airport, immediately after leaving Maharishi. The song's original title was indeed Maharishi and the first line was something like "Maharishi, what have you done You made a fool of everyone" even swearing at him, but George somehow calmed John down and persuaded him to change the lyrics, and therefore the subject, of the song, so Maharishi became Sexy Sadie. Even so, it's pretty clear that the finished song is still aimed at him. The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill, written in India, deals with an American co-student of the Transcendental Meditation course that wasn't really into spiritual things and actually went to a safari to hunt tigers, and that actually came to India with his mother. So a completely different subject
@@Uetti YES! Truly grateful for your correction, and I hope everyone here reads it, as it's another great piece of trivia that's not as well-known as some other items. Thanks!! :)
@ True, and it’s rubbish. The Indian music was a Trojan horse to bring Hinduism into the West in order to assist and accelerate the long foretold great apostasy of Christendom. The Beatles made some good music, but nothing else they did - individually or as a group - is of any worth at all.

Nor should he be told his creations aren't as good as Wild Honey Pie or Revolution #9. If it was about Music, they should have been happy someone else was contributing to the band, and taking some of the load off of them (He took a huge load off of them when "Taxman" was the opening tune on Revolver. That's a big sign this dude can come up with the goods.)
But they truly split when Harrison, Lennon, and Starr were all very happy to continue on with Brian Epstein, and Paul McCartney was not. And there you have it. That's when they split. And it's been the three of them, against him, since. Cuz the three of them actually know Lennon is its driving force, he's not going to write something just to get a hit, he'll write something saying exactly what he wants to say, whether it's wise or foolish, informed or misguided. He'll write it. And he's not going to tell you how to play it, what not to play, don't play at all. He's going to let you come up with what you think the song wants. And if he's got three bits of songs he doesn't know what to do with, he'll trust you to arrange it somehow so it all makes sense. And that's what he had in George Harrison. An arranger. Because that's exactly how you get She Said She Said and Happiness is a Warm Gun. Harrison helping Lennon sort all those bits out so they make sense.
McCartney has no idea he's in a band. That's why Wings was perfect for him. He could pay them little, tell them what to do, and if they didn't like it, they could leave. Which they did.
Harrison, Lennon and Starr knew Allen Klein was bullshit all the way back in November 1966, when he claimed he had two Beatles as clients, and this made the national papers. Brian Epstein knew he was bullshit back in 1964, and had nothing to do with his offers or assistance.
So why McCartney paints this picture that Klein dropped out of the sky one day in 1969, and bedazzled the other three with his shining light is a mystery. And you can't say the guy is ripping everyone off, when you yourself are buying up Lennon's shares in your company together, behind his back, can you.
Ee÷.e÷e
÷÷÷÷ee÷eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Damn 😂 Well said
@@CantTellYou Thanks! I do not know how McCartney successfully sued the other Beatles, because his case against Klein was so flimsy. Klein did actually do for the band what he said he would do, what he was hired for. He got them the higher royalty rate they were waiting for years to receive, being the band they were.
I love the road to Rishikesh. It’s magic.
maybe I was a little bit harsh but…
great vid but be careful with the copyrights
He was a Tantric Yogi, not a traditional Hindu, which is a different sect of Indian spirituality🎉
Their years seemed to have happened before ours did.
So true! sometimes I feel like they were born before me but I’m not sure why
8:27 ah yeah, Paul looks just a little rough!
The poor man is dead let him RIP
Just a little bit
"John where would you be without Mr. Epstein?"
John:"I don't know."
Why do you call Derek Taylor Robert Fraser?
Anyone who thinks that yogis or any person of the cloth knows anymore or the secrets of the Universe is damn fool.
Thank you 😊
Sorry, but the guy you did indicate as Robert Fraser in the picture is actually Derek Taylor, Apple's press agent
"The Answer?" Just who the hell said there even was one? And if there is, why didn't this spiritual master, who sought to spread his light to the world, let everyone in on it?
0:36 ?= Oud
That's Derek Taylor at 34'00" NOT Robert Fraser .....
"...just keep you crazy with nothing to do".
good job (Y)
Paramhansa Yogananda might have helped a little too ;)
The Maharishi looks a little like Ringo
22:40 Very zen, George...
lol right
hahahah “EVERYBODY JUST FCKING CHILL OUT, NOWWWW!!!!”
Dudes 🤘 🎉
Pernell Whittaker got the worst robbery
Meditation is great for SOME people like this “ GURU” was nothing but a hypocrite , while he preached abstinence yet he supposedly ( from john himself ) hit on all the girls that the Beatles brought with them, so i was not there but why would john lie ? Good video…peace
Did you know that John's song, "Sexy Sadie", was about the yogi?
He's Sadie.
25:38. Pronunciation tip: Blackguard is pronounced “BLAGG-erd”.
If I’ve learned anything it’s that I have a lot of work to do in my pronunciation of British lingo/locations
great job, and i am not even a beatles fan.
Bungalow Bill was a hunter at the retreat. He was a major big game hunter and a strange guy to The Beatles. He later declaimed hunting and became a nature photographer. I can’t remember if it was directly after his visit to the ashram or later… he’s mentioned in an excellent documentary by a Canadian guy who befriended The Beatles by chance and took amazing pics of them at the Ashram. The pics were filed away for 50+ years before his daughter made him share them with the world.
Really? I just watched the following that tells a different story re Bill's identity

Watch out songwriters the world over if Mike Love is within a hundred miles of you doing the writing he will want credit. What a goof. How anyone could believe Yoko was an artist of any kind is in itself a joke. If she is an artist of any kind it's as a con artist and a leach.
John Lennon's Aumt Mimi, had a caustic remark about Yoko being an "artist."
I wish i had the arrogance and ego of a spiritual guru
Just become a self righteous sociopath and you’ll be halfway there (although at least he preached meditation vs murder like Manson lol)
I believe Bungalow Bill is documented as being a clever, shrewd attack upon the Mahufishy for his alleged sexual indiscretions. Rather than call him out by name, John substituted the fictional character of B Bill. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Ok, I'll correct you because you are wrong 😀
The song you are meaning is not The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill but instead Sexy Sadie, that John started writing as he and George were waiting for the taxis to bring them out of the ashram to the airport, immediately after leaving Maharishi.
The song's original title was indeed Maharishi and the first line was something like
"Maharishi, what have you done
You made a fool of everyone" even swearing at him, but George somehow calmed John down and persuaded him to change the lyrics, and therefore the subject, of the song, so Maharishi became Sexy Sadie.
Even so, it's pretty clear that the finished song is still aimed at him.
The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill, written in India, deals with an American co-student of the Transcendental Meditation course that wasn't really into spiritual things and actually went to a safari to hunt tigers, and that actually came to India with his mother.
So a completely different subject
@@Uetti YES! Truly grateful for your correction, and I hope everyone here reads it, as it's another great piece of trivia that's not as well-known as some other items. Thanks!! :)
Nah it's bout new Beatle Bill
@@PaulFormentos How boring
@@Uetti The truth never is boring. open yer eyes, Paul is dead , and Billy's here
Maharishis and Mantras and sitars... sounds so profound in the 60s and sounds like such bullshit today.
In a small town in Iowa called Vedic City the Maharishi's teachings are in full swing even today...
Magic Alex must’ve been a spook right??
just a Greek ;) and a con artist too
The further we go George Harrison emerges as the mature soul of the Beatles. I’m now nearly 72 and George seems timeless.
Yay
Beatle.....? What is Beatle ?..I don't know Beatle .
Y . Ono
Story light on the heroin.
Well it’s only part one ;-)
@ ha. Just joshing you man. Thanks for interaction
Now try and get into TCM without money......... good luck
lol true what a racket
Love love love the Beatles but they're fake spiritual. Ringo was probably the most, never hear him preaching how spiritual he is
Incredibly messed up bunch of folks.
To suggest it was any particular year …
Simplistic click bait
Goodbye to this channel
All that Indian music the Beatles did was crap.
They did 2 songs
@ True, and it’s rubbish. The Indian music was a Trojan horse to bring Hinduism into the West in order to assist and accelerate the long foretold great apostasy of Christendom. The Beatles made some good music, but nothing else they did - individually or as a group - is of any worth at all.
Slow
