I turned 14 less than two weeks after the JFK assassination and I can confirm that the country was in a deep funk of grief and gloom until The Beatles came along to play the Ed Sullivan show. It was like all the doors and windows had been thrown open and our lives were again filled with sunlight and fresh air. They would go on to change popular music and our culture as well and I, for one, will be eternally grateful to them for all that they gave to us.
Haven't seen this, but the thesis and concepts reminded me of the 2017 documentary "How The Beatles Changed The World". I've long been a Beatles fan but it started with this aggressive thesis that the Beatles changed the course of modern history, touched on multiple aspects of culture, and had massive outsized influence. It was so aggressive in its view that I was skeptical. By the end, they had laid out a very convincing case. They were more than just a breakthrough band, they broke through social barriers and tore down norms to replace them with more open and advanced thinking. Where close-mindedness reigned before, they brought in love to a radical degree. They really did change the world.
8:43 The thing that gets me about the reaction by the older generation to the way that The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, etc. moved and the way they caused young people to dance and move is that those parents were moving and dancing just as wild to big band music 20 years before.
I have access to the unedited version on Patreon. I'll transcribe what they are saying: Vlad (pausing the video): "Hold on, hold on. Julliard?" Amy (laughing): "Julliard, yeah, yeah." Vlad (quoting the girl): "'I don't even listen to rock and roll...'" Amy (finishing the quote and laughing): "'...but we think they're the greatest.'" Vlad: "So here's a question. Here's the question. How do you think you would have reacted if you would have started listening to the Beatles, like say when you were 18 or 20 and you were just starting?" Amy: "I don't know. I...look, my life is so different from those girls and, and the world I lived in is so different from those girls. And, and.." Vlad: "But still, still, Julliard. Julliard, come on." Amy: "I know, I know, but I'm just looking at those girls thinking, man, how do they, where do they come from?" and then the audio kicks back in: "I have no idea."
I don’t know the dynamic between these two but I can immediately see that Amy is 99% of wives and girlfriends of dudes who are hardcore Beatles fans. She has had enough of the Beatles and wants to talk about something else but her husband is obsessed with them (like many millions of people are) and in her mind she’s like “the Beatles are really good and I understand their fan base and I like their songs myself but can we talk about SOMETHING that isn’t Beatle related?? I can’t take anymore Beatles..” and the husband is like “Amy, I understand and I respect your feelings. Let’s go make a fruit salad. By the way, do you know who absolutely loved fruit salad? Ringo. It was his favorite food and he ate it 3 meals a day. This was around the time period of the white album. By the way, did you know that Abby Road and Let It Be were out of order and…” then Amy slightly raises her voice and says “Enrique honey, let’s just watch the documentary. I’ll watch it with you.” She’s the classic good wife (it would appear) who says “let’s watch your movie” or “let’s play your game” or “let’s do what you want to do” and her reasoning is “I want you to be happy.” And Amy, that is extremely sweet but if you want Enrique to be happy, you need to do something that you simply can’t do - love the Beatles as much as Enrique does. *** This message is for all the wives and girlfriends of guys who are obsessed with the Beatles : “we are sorry.. we just LOVE This band and we want you to experience the same beautiful experience that we do and we want you to enjoy bc this band means so much to us and we want you to have it too. We want YOU to be happy and when you disregard or get aggravated or become dismissive of them, it doesn’t land like you think that it does and in reality, nothing would make us happier than you sitting down to watch a Beatles thing or listening to a Beatles record with us and experiencing the magic together.”
I’m a Beatles fan all of my life but I couldn’t imagine sharing love of Beatles music with my wife. She tolerated going to a Rolling Stones concert once. She’s just not interested in most “rock” music. I can understand it. It’s a cultural thing. She’s Cuban and prefers Latin music.
WIKIPEDIA: Many of the Maysleses' documentaries focus on art, artists and musicians. The Maysleses documented The Beatles' first visit to the United States in 1964, and a 1965 conceptual art project by Yoko Ono called "Cut Piece" in which she sat on the stage of Carnegie Hall while audience members cut off her clothing with scissors. Several Maysles films document art projects by Christo and Jeanne-Claude over a three-decade period, from 1974 when Christo's Valley Curtain was nominated for an Academy Award, to 2005 when The Gates (started in 1979 and completed by Albert after David's death) headlined New York's Tribeca Film Festival. Other Maysles subjects include Marlon Brando, Truman Capote, Vladimir Horowitz and Seiji Ozawa.
It would seem obvious that the next video to see for evaluation would be their first three complete appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show beginning on February 9, 1964. A Hard Day's Night (1964), directed by American Richard Lester, their first film should be next. 1964, The Year of Beatlemania and their Everlasting Influence on America. :)
Hi, I am part of the BEATLES 64 movie streaming on DISNEY+. I am the only one who had color 8mm silent footage. I am also seen running alongside the Beatles limo at the 46 minute mark, shot by the Maysles brothers. My color contributions are: 1. The color footage of the crowd outside the Plaza hotel. 2. The color footage scene of the girls holding placards. 3. The brief color scene of Paul in the limo on the way to the Ed Sullivan studios. 4. My name JOE SHEROV is in the credits, On the upper hand side of the screen at the last 20 seconds of the movie. I was only 17 years old when all this wonderful history transpired. Hope you all enjoy this wonderful piece of history.
😍 Just watched the doc today and when I saw you chasing the car with your camera I thought “Cool to see someone with a personal video camera back then. I wonder what he’s up to now” hahah. So cool!
Would LOVE for you both to react to their two films . A Hard Days Night and Help ... I've seen a couple reactions on here and they seem to get past copy right if you cut the music.
I love The Beatles commentary you share, Mrs. Shafer. In part because of it I am beginning to think of the band as more of a musical act than as musicians. The genius of the songs they recorded seems far beyond the capabilities of any of the members of the band, and their production schedule clearly didn't allow much time for song writing, composition, rehersal, etc. Maybe I'm stupid about this, because I am not a musician. Still, something about The Beatles doesn't seem kosher.
The next step of their career would be the release of A Hard Day’s Night, the movie that helped mythologize the success we see in Beatles ‘64. Summer 1964 saw kids that might not actually be able to see the Beatles live in concert filling movie theaters. I was one of those kids, as were my older sisters. The joy and excitement was extraordinary and you could actually hear their music !
My sister in law saw them live in Detroit, in September 1964, and said she watched them but could not hear them the screaming was so loud! I told her don't worry you are are one of the chosen ones and I worship the ground you walk on lol. She laughed and said, good, you can go fetch me a coffee, slave.
Geez, Amy, you look really great in black...matches your hair....great discussion. You two are quite charming on camera. I'm 68, lived through the Beatles era, and probably got into music and being a music teacher because of them. The original footage, much of it is taken from a documentary about the Beatles' first visit to the United States is titled What's Happening! The Beatles in the U.S.A.. It was originally released in 1964 as a special episode of the CBS variety series The Entertainers. A re-edited version, titled The Beatles: The First U.S. Visit, was released in 1991. It was filmed by filmmaking team Albert and David Maysles' 1964 in16mm. It is a miracle of a film to show real history happening at the time, and not speculative AI garbage you see so much of today, where people make stuff up that isn't true.." The Beatles First U.S. Visit" is a 1990 re-edited version worth watching, if only for yourself. You'll see some hilarious stuff in the hotels and it has the TV performances as well. In one scene two girls have sneaked in the hotel somehow and they got it on film lol.
Glad to see this was a fun watch for someone less familiar with the material. I came away from it feeling like it was a fun but inessential watch for anyone who has seen The First US Visit, The Beatles Anthology, Eight Days A Week, etc. It would be nice to get a proper release of the original Maysles brothers documentary, just as they did for Michael Lindsay Hogg with Let It Be, but it seems the motivation is to keep recycling the same material in new packaging every generation rather than ever putting out anything truly definitive or archival.
This is the other side of this documentary .. More candid footage of the Beatles by the camera man that was with them the whole trip. ruclips.net/video/38jmSpSPujY/видео.html
I disagree with V on this - so many magical things converged with the origin in Liverpool that it's hard to see a lot that could be analogous had they started in the US. We had the Beach Boys, who were a pretty big deal, but the UK was a bit more exotic to most Americans than California. Combined with the level of innovation, it was nuclear
At about 21 minutes in, Amy, you were pontificating about how different the music scene would have been had there been no Beatles, saying you don't think it would have changed much. I beg to disagree with you, Amy - big time! But - it would be too difficult (and boring for most) to explain why... other than to say that events in time seemed more compressed than is true today... think of removing a strategic piece in a jenga pile of sticks... or the "butterfly effect" of chaos theory... where small variations in the initial conditions of a system can have huge repercussions as the system develops...
Amy, if you want to see The Beatles at their hair raising rock and roll best, there is a video of about fifteen minutes' length here on RUclips: The Beatles at the 1964 NME Awards. The Rolling Stones had just done a great set, and The Beatles, incensed at the prospect of being upstaged, amped things up to top them. Among other treats, if you watch carefully, probably during one of the instrumental breaks in Long Tall Sally, you will see George and John looking over their shoulders in wonder and admiration as Ringo goes into overdrive on his drums. My favorite moment, however, is during their second song of the set, John Lennon's You Can't Do That. Lennon, who was cherished by the others for his frequent errors in live performance, makes a super boneheaded mistake when he shrieks a chorus too early for what he thinks will be the beginning of the instrumental break. Paul and George hardly twitch the beginning of a smile. They were used to such things, and continue gamely to sing their backup. The funniest part of this is in the twenty seconds or so after John has realized his mistake; the look on his face is for the ages.
Hopefully you'll get round to watching the original Maysels film, The Beatles first U.S visit which us where Scorsese took lots of film from, its an amazing film
there is the 2019 movie "Yesterday" a comedy about what if the Beatles had not existed, and one guy who is musician and singer is the only one who knows they did....Good for a laugh. you MUST watch it
@@AmysCut , sure, but if you see A Hard Day's Night, you'll be stunned by the quality of heightened reality which pervades the movie. In fact, one of the Beatles said that the Maysles Brothers' film of them on that first American visit, which comprised most if not all of the Beatles footage in the movie you just watched, was probably what their movie would be like. And it is. I haven't seen this new Disney+ venture because those who have say that in terms of Beatles footage, it compares poorly with the Maysles Brothers' footage which is in the widely available documentary, The Beatles: The First U.S. Visit, much more than it is in the film you just watched. Alun Owen, who wrote A Hard Day's Night, was embedded with The Beatles for a few weeks before Beatlemania hit the United States. They knew they were going to begin to shoot the movie a couple of weeks after they got back from America. It would have been about as much fun to watch if there had been no music in it. It's actually a mockumentary, but with the musical segments, it becomes surrealistic. I don't know of a movie which is more pure fun and sheer delight to watch. John Lennon is by far the funniest throughout, though many fans, if forced to pick a single segment which is immortal, would pick the scene in the last part of the picture, in which George Harrison wanders into the office of an advertising creative director. There are a lot of subtle things going on in that hilarious segment, and Harrison's performance is perfect. And if you don't see the movie, you don't get to see the scene in which John Lennon is in the bathtub, playing U boat captain with his toy U boats.
Frank Sinatra and performers earlier was getting the same screaming/mass hysteria reaction. That was the 1930s... one of the reasons this MIGHT be the "national" or "continnental" impact was RADIO. Radio broadcasts started in about 1919 (post WWI) because the technology (a war-driven technology) became cheaper - but still not cheap. The national network of radio was due to the high price of transmitters, cost of labor (installation, constant maintenance) AND the high cost of receivers - ie, "radio" as we know now. I'm sure that theatrical 'stars' might have youthful (hysterical?!!) appeal - I'm not sure about Shakespeare's groupie scene, though!
I seldom credit the Beatles for 'inventing' anything. I do believe they handed out 'permission slips' to so many - everyone? - to try, try, try. Try production techniques (George Martin, Geoff Emerick and the staff). And the Beatles didn't really hand out anything. They tried different (if not 'new') things and because consumers bought those, everyone else said, "Why ARE we stuck doing things the Old Way? The Beatles are making fortunes - why can't I do that? Why can't WE?" and the entertainment industry had enough heads nodding that folks agreed. And then splintered onto their own paths.
John's end-of-film musings are also fattened by his elongated, historical views - he'd had a few years to digest The Beatles' phenomenon. To figure it out, to understand his place and everyone else's.
Sinatra started performing around 1935. But the bobbysoxers screaming and idolizing Sinatra began in 1942. The bobbysoxers' riot at Sinatra's Paramount Theater performance in 1942 being the most famous.
@@michaelwalsh2498 I have a feeling this was not The First. (I'm not sure I believe in "Firsts" but rather they are The Most Popular or Most PopularIZED.) I believe celebrity-worship likely started long before. I wonder how composers were treated in Vienna's concert halls or even off-main-street venues where 'stuffy audiences' did not go. "Ewww, trashy places - I wouldn't be caught dead in those" said moms and dads, but their teenagers - ?!! ha ha However, I've only read about SinatraMania in the era. The most-fun BACHELOR & BOBBY-SOXER (1947) with Cary Grant had high-school students swooning over him early in the film - as part of the tale. But the title said, "Everyone knows what a bobby-soxer is, and their proclivity to Popular Celebs. In that film, Cary's a 'famous' painter and lecturer. And popular enough so the boys in school recognized him. Boys, though, would have probably fawned over baseball players and maybe adventurous personalities, not singers. Unless they had to feign this for the sake of some sweetheart's, uh, partnership.
There's to date no phenomenon in music history comparable to the worldwide Beatlemania. Sinatra's fan reactions were essentially limited to the USA. Of course, times were different, and there were other problems in the war and post-war period... Presley, Jackson, Swift were/are structured differently. A guy named André Millard similarly writes that, just as Beatlemania's "scale and ferocity" far surpassed the scenes of adulation inspired by Sinatra, Presley and Johnnie Ray, "nobody in popular entertainment has been able to repeat this moment in all its economic and cultural significance." In their book Encyclopedia of Classic Rock, David Luhrssen and Michael Larson state that while boy bands such as One Direction continue to attract audiences of screaming girls, "none of those acts moved pop culture forward or achieved the breadth and depth of the Beatles' fandom. Furthermore, while fan hysteria is usually based on pure enthusiasm and exuberance, Beatlemania also had more of a "girl power" effect. A core of growing personal sexual and emancipatory elements is contained within it.
Vlad comes across enthusiastically as a fan. Amy more circumspect. With all the editing I'm not sure if the movie made the point that The Beatles refused to perform to segregated audiences because they were fans of black musicians like Little Richard, Fats Domino etc.
Jesus.... Let the movie run with last interruptions... Some of the questions they have and explaining they do is clarified later in the movie. Save it for the end of the movie, and rerun the clip that you are speaking of if you are afraid the audience does not remember clip you're talking about. Some of what they say is interesting, and lightning got to pick your moments more carefully. And the guy gets too much into "man-splaining"... It gets really creepy sometimes.

I turned 14 less than two weeks after the JFK assassination and I can confirm that the country was in a deep funk of grief and gloom until The Beatles came along to play the Ed Sullivan show. It was like all the doors and windows had been thrown open and our lives were again filled with sunlight and fresh air. They would go on to change popular music and our culture as well and I, for one, will be eternally grateful to them for all that they gave to us.
I was 5. We need that again.
Haven't seen this, but the thesis and concepts reminded me of the 2017 documentary "How The Beatles Changed The World". I've long been a Beatles fan but it started with this aggressive thesis that the Beatles changed the course of modern history, touched on multiple aspects of culture, and had massive outsized influence. It was so aggressive in its view that I was skeptical. By the end, they had laid out a very convincing case. They were more than just a breakthrough band, they broke through social barriers and tore down norms to replace them with more open and advanced thinking. Where close-mindedness reigned before, they brought in love to a radical degree. They really did change the world.

True... but (I ain't got time to explain)...
Sorry to point this out but the audio between 7:05 to 7:52 is gone. Please be advised, Amy and Vlad.
I have access to the unedited version on Patreon. I'll transcribe what they are saying:
Vlad (pausing the video): "Hold on, hold on. Julliard?"

Alun Owen, who wrote A Hard Day's Night, was embedded with The Beatles for a few weeks before Beatlemania hit the United States. They knew they were going to begin to shoot the movie a couple of weeks after they got back from America.
It would have been about as much fun to watch if there had been no music in it. It's actually a mockumentary, but with the musical segments, it becomes surrealistic. I don't know of a movie which is more pure fun and sheer delight to watch. John Lennon is by far the funniest throughout, though many fans, if forced to pick a single segment which is immortal, would pick the scene in the last part of the picture, in which George Harrison wanders into the office of an advertising creative director. There are a lot of subtle things going on in that hilarious segment, and Harrison's performance is perfect.
And if you don't see the movie, you don't get to see the scene in which John Lennon is in the bathtub, playing U boat captain with his toy U boats.
Amy gives me Miss Jane Hathaway vibes.
Frank Sinatra and performers earlier was getting the same screaming/mass hysteria reaction. That was the 1930s... one of the reasons this MIGHT be the "national" or "continnental" impact was RADIO. Radio broadcasts started in about 1919 (post WWI) because the technology (a war-driven technology) became cheaper - but still not cheap. The national network of radio was due to the high price of transmitters, cost of labor (installation, constant maintenance) AND the high cost of receivers - ie, "radio" as we know now. I'm sure that theatrical 'stars' might have youthful (hysterical?!!) appeal - I'm not sure about Shakespeare's groupie scene, though!
I seldom credit the Beatles for 'inventing' anything. I do believe they handed out 'permission slips' to so many - everyone? - to try, try, try. Try production techniques (George Martin, Geoff Emerick and the staff). And the Beatles didn't really hand out anything. They tried different (if not 'new') things and because consumers bought those, everyone else said, "Why ARE we stuck doing things the Old Way? The Beatles are making fortunes - why can't I do that? Why can't WE?" and the entertainment industry had enough heads nodding that folks agreed. And then splintered onto their own paths.
John's end-of-film musings are also fattened by his elongated, historical views - he'd had a few years to digest The Beatles' phenomenon. To figure it out, to understand his place and everyone else's.
Sinatra started performing around 1935. But the bobbysoxers screaming and idolizing Sinatra began in 1942. The bobbysoxers' riot at Sinatra's Paramount Theater performance in 1942 being the most famous.
@@michaelwalsh2498 I have a feeling this was not The First. (I'm not sure I believe in "Firsts" but rather they are The Most Popular or Most PopularIZED.) I believe celebrity-worship likely started long before. I wonder how composers were treated in Vienna's concert halls or even off-main-street venues where 'stuffy audiences' did not go. "Ewww, trashy places - I wouldn't be caught dead in those" said moms and dads, but their teenagers - ?!! ha ha
However, I've only read about SinatraMania in the era.
The most-fun BACHELOR & BOBBY-SOXER (1947) with Cary Grant had high-school students swooning over him early in the film - as part of the tale. But the title said, "Everyone knows what a bobby-soxer is, and their proclivity to Popular Celebs. In that film, Cary's a 'famous' painter and lecturer. And popular enough so the boys in school recognized him. Boys, though, would have probably fawned over baseball players and maybe adventurous personalities, not singers. Unless they had to feign this for the sake of some sweetheart's, uh, partnership.
There's to date no phenomenon in music history comparable to the worldwide Beatlemania. Sinatra's fan reactions were essentially limited to the USA. Of course, times were different, and there were other problems in the war and post-war period... Presley, Jackson, Swift were/are structured differently.
A guy named André Millard similarly writes that, just as Beatlemania's "scale and ferocity" far surpassed the scenes of adulation inspired by Sinatra, Presley and Johnnie Ray, "nobody in popular entertainment has been able to repeat this moment in all its economic and cultural significance." In their book Encyclopedia of Classic Rock, David Luhrssen and Michael Larson state that while boy bands such as One Direction continue to attract audiences of screaming girls, "none of those acts moved pop culture forward or achieved the breadth and depth of the Beatles' fandom.
Furthermore, while fan hysteria is usually based on pure enthusiasm and exuberance, Beatlemania also had more of a "girl power" effect. A core of growing personal sexual and emancipatory elements is contained within it.
AMY SO TIRED
Vlad comes across enthusiastically as a fan. Amy more circumspect. With all the editing I'm not sure if the movie made the point that The Beatles refused to perform to segregated audiences because they were fans of black musicians like Little Richard, Fats Domino etc.
Amy is way to composed to lose it like the girls back then.
Jesus.... Let the movie run with last interruptions... Some of the questions they have and explaining they do is clarified later in the movie. Save it for the end of the movie, and rerun the clip that you are speaking of if you are afraid the audience does not remember clip you're talking about.
Some of what they say is interesting, and lightning got to pick your moments more carefully.
And the guy gets too much into "man-splaining"... It gets really creepy sometimes.
Intro too LONG.
