February 7th, 1964. The Beatles are about to arrive in New York. Paul: "There were millions of kids at the airport, which nobody had expected. We heard about it in mid-air. There were journalists on the plane, and the pilot had rang ahead and said, 'Tell the boys there's a big crowd waiting for them.' We thought, 'Wow! God, we really have made it.' " On Friday 7th February, 1964, The Beatles landed at Kennedy airport and were immediately thrust into their now-legendary first press conference there. The place was heaving with rabid reporters, seasoned journalists and camera crews from all over the world. From there, they took a limo to the Plaza Hotel, where they stayed during their time in NYC. The Beatles' suite was a hub of activity - a place where they anticipated, prepared for and then relaxed after each of the milestone events that they were experiencing in such quick succession. They would await phone calls from journalists or to receive news of how their songs were doing in the charts; they gave in-person interviews, there, and watched themselves on television. Often, they would call into radio stations to request their favourite records. Bit by bit, they were getting a sense of 'America'. Still, they were tired. It had been a long trip - a long day. And George, it turns out, was coming down with flu... To see more photos and footage and to read more about their first day in the US: gnikn.us/Mv28wS Come back tomorrow to read about their second day in the States and their rehearsals for the the first live Ed Sullivan Show broadcast. Until 23rd February, we'll be posting here about the significant events that led to Beatlemania spreading across the States. Check-in daily for photos and video from the tour, and the story of how The Beatles managed to accomplish what then had seemed impossible to do - making it in the USA.
My ex girlfriends father said he was sitting outside Shea Stadium when The Beatles played and couldn't hear a damn thing they played, just like the band said; the screaming just overtook the air.
La primera boyband musical del mundo.... famosos a nivel mundial, sin redes sociales, sin internet, sin marketing, sin coreografías.....artistas con talento innato, no creados por managers ni industrias musicales, como ahora vemos. Grandes The Beatles 🎵💯✊
It was meant to happen,they didn't know that of course,but everything just fell into place.They were special individuals,the songs were special,just everything about them was. I don't know if this is the little 11 year old Catholic school boy talking,all I do know is I still feel the same way today,I love them and the songs dearly.
I was 11 too, we were in deep grief for so long after our President was murdered, they came along and something magical happened. We never got over losing JFK, but these 4 guys from Liverpool made life worth living again. That may seem sappy to some, but if you lived it, it certainly wasn't.
In 1980, during lunch while working with the City of Winnipeg park and recreation department we were discussing McCartney's II album. One of our coworkers , an older British fellow named Ivor, said he met the Beatles in 1964 at the Winnipeg Airport. HIs management asked him if he could get come tea for the band while they were waiting in the terminal. Ivor said they were peasant and polite young lads.
Today is my mom s 69 birthday. She was 13 when the Beatles landed in jfk. My moms a rock and roll Beatles fan. Her favorite of course was George. Mom I wanna hold your hand yeah yeah yeah yeaaaaaaaahhh. Happy birthday Lucy.
I've seen similar footage a hundred times at least but some things never get old and sometimes ya just get a feeling to look back to the world that was. They landed on my birthday. But they didn't stop by for cake and ice cream. I think they were a bit busy but that's okay, we really didn't have enough anyway and it would have been a shame to have to turn them away. RIP 1964. Maybe it wasn't really a simpler time for the adults but it was for us kids.
Has been gone almost as long as he was alive now. Still seems so strange he missed all of the 1980s; all the big cultural moments he surely would've offered a unique take on. And he almost certainly would've been down with the Beatles Anthology project in the mid-90s, what with the softening of age. Too sad.
Same thing goes to George. If he had gotten his treatment early, he would be alive with Paul and Ringo. And John would have been alive too. If only that awful man who claimed he was a "fan" was killed instead.
I enjoyed listening to "Yellow Submarine" as a small child, but I didn't know who the artist was back then. Until now, I never realized that it wasn't made by just one artist, but in actuality, the once biggest, most popular, and most influential rock band of the 1960s that is still beloved to this day, known as: The Beatles. I have 10 of their songs in my Spotify playlist, not just "Yellow Submarine". My mother and father, both born in 1960, grew up listening to this band and bonded over them when they first met at a university.
To this day, u believe the hey were the best. When they 1st started performing, everything was black and White, old. But when they expanded with, orfan, accustistics, added background, singers. Their music would give you goose bumps. I was born in 75, so i was obviously a young boy. But to this day, they're the greatest i history. Especially for the $$, fame, and insane popularity they brought to the U.S. God bless the Beatles for the great years, and sad loss of John Lennon. Just horrible, and still breaks my heart. 🎤 💯🙏
When they were on tour here in America, they fought with the civil rights movement and fought for what was right for equality and unity. To end hate and segregation.
Many believe that Beatlemania was a reaction to the JFK assassination that took place several months before their arrival in the states. In the wake of tragedy, the country was in a deeply despondent mood and desperately needed something to pick up their spirits.
It wasn't though. Beatlemania was a worldwide phenomenon that began in the UK and followed them wherever they went after that. The reasons (in my opinion): 1) they were four clean cut likeable "cheeky chappy" guys who didn't care if they looked stupid (and went out of their way to do so on many occassions) while also being extremely quick-witted in interviews. Intelligence and the ability to send yourself up and make others laugh at you is always a winning combination. 2) they were four good looking guys in their own way so appealed to a wider female demographic. 3) they were F'CKING GOOD live. They'd honed their skills playing live in Germany to such an extent that when they returned to the UK they played multiple shows a day sometimes and to such an unfailingly high standard that people were blown away. It's all very well looking the part and getting female adoration but if you don't have what it takes in the flesh playing live you're never going to reach the levels of hysteria that followed them around the world, and the Beatles had what it takes in absolute barrowloads as hardened accomplished musicians and performers before they even released their first single. 4) and by far the most important in my opinion: they came at a unique point in history which is far far wider ranging than anything to do with JFK. They came at the beginning of the burgeoning sexual revolution and they embodied the inherent rebeliousness caused by such huge changes in society that had never been seen before. It seems tame to us now but my mum's talked about what a stir they caused with their "long" hair (which to modern eyes isn't long at all) and how girls were swooning when one of the young guys in her office got a Beatles cut. The contraceptive pill had been developed in the 1950s and in late 1961 it became available on the NHS. So you've got vast societal norms being overturned leading to freedoms that could never have been dreamed of only a generation before, and only a couple of years after the Beatles sprang into the public consciousness the swinging sixties is in full flow. The Beatles, with their loveable attitudes yet rebellious hairstyles which tied in perfectly to the subconscious rebellion brewing in society, hit the world at the exact moment that the world - that the world's cultures - was ready for them to make the most impact. It has zero to do with JFK in my opinion, I've heard that before and it utterly diminishes how shocking and thrilling the Beatles were to those who witnessed their entrance into the world and completely ignores what the world was like when Beatlemania engulfed the entire globe. It's where they stand on the timeline of history which ensures that they will always be utterly unique - where they stand as cultural icons - not to mention their body of work. Peace :)
Pan Am got some free publicity in all this. Each Beatle is carrying a Pan Am bag as they exit the Pan Am aeroplane. And the logo is everywhere at the press conference.
After the fiasco in the Philippines many airlines got death threats if they flew the Beatles again, another reason to stop touring apart from the fact their music couldn't be reproduced on stage, no backing tracks back then.
Hi I am making a documentary on the history of a football program here in Cincinnati (juxtaposed against the history of America) and was curious if I can use some of this for our non-profit film?
Capitol's dismissive attitude towards the Beatles was actually quite beneficial early on; they were able to spend a year getting used to writing hits, playing for cameras, talking to the press, touring and so on at home and in continental Europe, without America trying to lure them over prematurely. By the time that first Ed Sullivan appearance rolled around, they knew exactly what they were doing.
Well things don’t change. I swear teenage girls act the same way with every new boy band til this day. If this was in color I would think it was recent 😂

Correction, "Phoney Beatlemaina has bitten the dust"
The Beatles are timeless.
I was 3 then
I was 4 and living in Oakland, CA, but remember it very well.
My parents let me stay up to watch the Ed Sullivan Show
'cause The Beatles were on. :)
You're so lucky.
I was 3, we did the same. Only had 2 channels in Winnipeg .. CTV or CBC. 60 years went by fast.
Man what a time to be alive back then.
The part about the cops were right both my father, and grandfather were NYPD during this, they said you couldn't hear anything over all the screaming.
We love you, BEATLES, oh yes we do. 4 ever
I saw them when I was a junior in high school at Moody Coliseum, SMU Dallas - too much fun
And thus "fangirling" started.
Mr. Bantman please don’t use that utterly pathetic millennial bullshit word🤦🏼♀️

7 February 1964, The Day the Music Rose Again.

And you'll never see it again...

0:44 The real British Invasion. American people love The Beatles who came from UK more than their local singer, Elvis Presley. 😆😆😆😆
The Beatles' manager, Brian Epstein, also said that his boys were going to become _Bigger than Elvis_ . And guess what? It came true!
Los amo, es un hecho
Incredible now to know how much of "Beatle-mania" was a marketing ploy.

"Elvis is dead, long live the beatles"
This is going to be a fun series. Let's not make it controversial.
Man that reporter used some big words
캬
As younger person what was the music like before the Beatles?
If the Beatles stayed together and if they needed another concert to perform in New York, they could’ve used the Concorde
Pan Am got some free publicity in all this. Each Beatle is carrying a Pan Am bag as they exit the Pan Am aeroplane. And the logo is everywhere at the press conference.
