    I'm 71, born in 1950. Like so many here understand, growing up with the Beatles was an unbelievably special privilege that is hard to conceive of its being replicated. I heard I Want To Hold Your Hand at 12 in early 1963 in the backseat of a school bus. I remember where I was standing when I first heard Yesterday. Rubber Soul changed my life at 15 while living at Tachikawa Air Base in Japan with my family. I saw the global live broadcast of All You Need Is Love. I saw Paul at a concert in San Diego in 2019 with my adult daughter, and my two grandchildren, six and seven, LOVE the Beatles. We are so, so lucky. God bless the Beatles.

      I like to think being born in 1970, making the 80s my formative teen years, that I was lucky to see and hear so many bands and the new genres they brought to the main stream, from the Sugar Hill Gang to Bruce Springsteen to Joy Division and Depeche Mode, but even then, it was hearing The Beatles and Wings from Mom's lp record player that was center of our wooden cabinet hifi stereo system that I first learned to sing along to - and while those other bands are great notes of rock and roll history - The Beatles ARE rock and roll history - and so are you Sir. Without the original British fans, there would never have been us American fans. Words can't relay how grateful I am. SALUTE, SIR!

      They were coming of age . . . and so was I. What wonderful years to be alive and growing up through the teenage years... I was 14 when they first appeared on Ed Sullivan's show in early 1964 . . . and I grew up through in the following six years as The Beatles grew, matured, experimented and conquered the world of music and popular culture. 'Whatta time to be alive!!!!!!!!!!

    Their music will be passed on by father and mother to son & daughter. When I played The Beatles to my daughter for the first time - the sheer joy of hearing it for the first time. I will never forget that. Just like I never forgot my parents playing it when I was little. I know when my daughter has children of her own - she will do the same. It'll be that way forever. Thank you John, Paul, George and Ringo - you are the finest, the best, the greatest band of all time.

      1957 and ditto. I listened to rock and roll on the radio as much as I could from the time I was five years old. I knew many of the top 40 hits and I wondered how song writers kept coming up with great new tunes. Surely, there would come a day when the all of the good songs would be written. But, I was six then.
      I clearly remember a thought or a feeling that came to me in early 1964 that something big was coming to the music world. Something new and beautiful that everybody would love. Maybe, I was confused by the times when such a jumble of songs from the 50’s, country songs, Motown songs, protest/ folk songs, instrumentals, and the new groups defining Rock and Roll were all played on one station. The 60’s was a great decade to be tuned into popular music.
      Then the Beatles were born. They were fulfilling my premonition, though I never mentioned it to anyone for a long time. My older sister loved The Beatles, too, and she somehow brought each new LP home and she and I and my little sister (sometimes) would listen to the new album as long as Mom or Grandma would let us. But it didn’t take long before we knew at least the melodies of each track. It was so beautiful and such a gift, to have each song that had been pressed onto that disc, firmly tucked into my brain where I could listen to any or every song whenever I wanted to. On the way to school, in class at school, after school I could put Meet The Beatles on play in my head and listen to the whole album. Every kind of emotion you wanted to feel was on that LP.

    I will never forget the first time I saw the Beatles. I was about 8 years old. Because I was sick my parents let me sleep in their room. I knew the Beatles were playing so I adjusted my mothers makeup mirror to reflect from the living room into the bedroom where I could watch from my bed. , as they thought 8 pm was past my bedtime. I got a chance to watch the Beatles without my parents knowing I was seeing them with the mirror on their dresser! Their music has lit up my life for all the years of broadcast and beyond. They wrote the most beautiful songs everyone in the world could sing along to. They were the epic change throughout my growing years. Even today music jam sessions always include a Beatles song, and knowing all the harmonies, I join them to sing along. They were and always will be THE BEST.

    I turned 6 December 1964. My Father, being in the US Air Force was off to Viet Nam at the beginning of summer. My Mother, Sister and I stayed with our families (both sides) in San Jose Ca for the year. It was that summer when I heard my first Beatles song. Music had a grip on me from birth! Though it was the lyrics in any song that reached out to me the most as long as they made some kind of sense to my young mind. The backbeat of Rock along with Ringos less is more style of drumming giving way to the trio of guitars though never going unnoticed. The Beatles as a whole strengthened my love for music. It took just four guys from Liverpool Great Brittan to change the face of music as the world then knew it. Two very important events took place in my life from July 1964 to June 1965. At the age of 6 I became a lifelong Beatles fan! But most important is that Dad came home from Viet Nam alive and in one piece! The Beatles, My Music Heros! Dad, My Hero in reality and life! John, George, Mom and Dad. Rest With The Angels!

    Excellent documentary. I was 16 in '60 and the wonderful thing, at least in the UK, is that the Beatles were not promoted or 'marketed'. Everybody who heard them, loved them. We had no idea, back then what a phenomenon they would become. And here we are, 50 - 60 years later and they still have no peers. Their likes will never be seen again.

    The Beatles changed music forever, by embracing old school chords and harmonies, then elevating them for a modern age.
    I wish I'd been around at the time, but sadly, the band broke up 2 years before I was born. But it doesn't stop me loving and appreciating ALL that they did, now more than ever.

      I lived through the entire Beatles rise ...... On Nov. 22, 1963 the Beatles were to be introduced on the CBS evening news program in the USA ..... that report, which was intended to introduce the Beatles to America, was pre-empted understandably due to the assassination of President Kennedy - I was just one of millions of grief-stricken kids who had idolized JFK, who was ripe for the picking when "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and the Beatles exploded on the scene weeks later ...... by February, the boys came to the USA for the first time, appeared on Ed Sullivan, and every kid in my generation grew their hair out and got "Beatles Boots" - we knew that the girls would like that! ..... The Beatles message of LOVE and the struggle to grow up, helped us all to grow up - and their music and message has been with me throughout my life ..... They were an amazing influence in my life

      alive during that era (and survive 😉).....And listening to the early Beatles' stuff still gives me a combination of goosebumps and tears, depending on whether the source be something like "In My Life" or "You're Gonna Lose That Girl".....I get special feelings that only manifest themselves when I listen to or perform anything from those first 5 albums......I could go on & on naming songs that are so special to me and the memories associated with those special tunes, but it would really be impossible......There simply aren't enough words in my vocabulary. I would be on "verbal safari", still sitting here days from now if I even made the attempt.
      I would also like to say that it is a crying shame that George has been overlooked and/or underrated by so many. The guy was a master, and I am so glad that he lived long enough to do the Travellin' Wilburys project.

    Four ordinary lads from Liverpool were to blossom into the most extraordinarily talented group that the worlds of pop, rock and music in general had ever seen or heard, or will ever be likely to see or hear again! Three of the things that were to change that initial "ordinariness" were that they definitely "put the hours in" in the early years and afterwards, and perhaps primarily, they genuinely loved their art, and throughout, they genuinely loved each other just as brothers can! Having said that, their brilliance is probably unquantifiable because they were, are and will always be truly unique. When I was very young, I thought Elvis was the biggest and greatest ever. I still love Elvis but I never imagined then that four young lads would come along and shake the world even more vigorously and in a completely different way!

      me too. Born in 68. In 80 when he died I was introduced. By 81 my first concert was Beatlemania.
      Bought the best of's when John died and also the radio started playing them again then and never stopped.
      Though I knew who they were before I was in school (but not familiar with their music).
      And i grew up with Paul Mccartney and the Wings in the 70s (not knowing he was in the Beatles). The Wings remind me of my childhood.
      But having said that I do remember "Here Comes The Sun" stll playing all the time in the very early 70s. Not knowing who sang it.
      But especially Harrison's "My Swwet Lord". Again not knowing who sang it.
      And in 75 I now know "Got To Get You Back Im My Life" was re-released for some reason but do remember knowing for sure that was the Beatles. But that's it.
      And I remember Hey Jude, Let It Be, Get Back were still playing in the early 70s but I don't think I knew who played it. Maybe I did. I dont think I did.
      And I remember Yesterday played as an oldie and knowing that somehow. And not unfamiliar with all of it when I first heard the best of's in 1980-81
      But from my perspective I'm pretty sure the last 4 years of the 70s the Beatles were not played on the radio at all. Not the popular AM Radio I was listening to anyways.

      I have always say the same thing, late '54 and the music the events the people from about the time I was 10 on till 20 came to shape who I was as an adult. As I look back that is quite clear. Wouldn't want to be born at any other time!

    My mum (from Liverpool) told me in the '70's that the Beatles were the greatest band in the world.
    I can't believe that it's 2021 and it still holds true!
    Great video!
