Excellent chronological review of 1968. After seeing the events of 1968 in chronologic order I think it’s pretty clear of the role that Yoko and heroine use play in contributing to the Beatles break up.
*Heroin;...And, --->>>NOT: "heroine"!!!!; which is a feminine conjugation of the literary; &, script; or, story-plot narrative, positive protagonist, vocabulary word: "Hero".
It's pretty clear that you're a total idiot. NONE of that had anything to do with the breakup. How do I know this ? Because all 4 Beatles have said countless times what caused the breakup and that had NOTHING to do with it.t. It's amazing how sure and adamant that fools and idiots can be about something even when it has been proven other wise.
Yeah but for most part they lacked artistic vision and depth. This is where Paul turned to making “pastish” songs and started to favour form over content. There are some great songs like “Blackbird”, “Helter Skelter” and “Martha My Dear”, but also countless of meaningless joke songs like “Obladi Oblada”.
So Paul called Linda to fly out of the US to meet him? So many details I've never heard before. Incredible info -just brings up more questions- but you can sense some miserable things going on in 1968.
The end of the Beatles began on August, 27th 1967. This was the day that Brian Epstein died. Had Mr. Epstein lived I do believe that the Beatles would have stayed together longer.
After the multi coloured psychedelic highs of 1967 The Beatles were on a search for the meaning of life in India with a new guru to look to following the death of their visionary manager Brian Epstein. Instead, they diverged from each other for the first time in separate directions which was the slow beginning of the end. John fell in love with Yoko Ono who became joined at the hip with him from than on, changing his whole outlook. Paul stuck to doing what he did best by crafting perfect pop songs and also meeting the love of his life Linda. George, the only Beatle who retained the influence of their stay with the Maharishi was carving his own stamp in the band. Ringo remained Ringo, although he began to become disillusioned being a Beatle, no longer as cheerful and temporarily quit during the recording of the album that defined them in 1968, The White Album.
apple records wasn't an altogether abject artistic endeavor, it did launch the careers of james taylor, cilla black, mary hopkin and the mighty badfinger. financially it was an unmitigated catastrophe but i think that's because klein robbed them blind. another finely compiled doc, m8.
No matter how many of these retrospective videos that emerge about this timeframe of The Beatles, there’s no disguising the fact they were surrounded by mind control charlatans who curtailed their talent and power… Also… no matter how crazy bad their behaviour is portrayed, reported or described, their work on The White Album will be remembered and celebrated in perpetuity
@@jms1963 True that. Their beloved uncle figure is gone, its a miracle they survived and their music was still as good as in their rookie days. Its really amazing how people can go through so much shit in matter of weeks amd months and still be alive and in one piece and still have some assets
Quite a tumultuous but productive year for the Beatles. If I had to give someone who had never heard the Beatles music before, an album of theirs, it would probably be Revolver, as I think it is track for track, their best and most polished collection of songs. But…for me personally, the White Album is my favorite. And on that album, John Lennon really shines. It’s as if as an artist, everything that he was dealing with that year, seemed to seep into and come out in his songwriting and lyrics. Imho, it’s his finest work on any album.
14:16 The story is that one Jewish man saw the window and phoned up Paul later. He threatened to have his son come beat him up, but that never came to fruition. You can see the story in Paul’s interview about his most well known songs, I’d like a source that the window was broken.
..john was an ahole..the older i get the more i realized he is not what he seemed to be..getting into hard drugs is irresponsible the other beatles clearly knows his temper..its too bad that he was murdered before he could straight things up completely..
Telling the Beatles not to write songs is a bit like telling them to stop breathing air. Cynthia was a total babe back then and I’m sure she was a sweetheart as well.
Sly John who lost interest in being a Beatle he used Yoko as a sharp stick to poke the Band by brining her into the Studio and offering comments while they were recording.....Yoko was John’s pawn .....
Yeah which is why he stayed with her for 10 years after the band broke up.... yeahh John was playing the long game saving her for when the band got back together yes he was gonna use her as a pawn again hehehehhe
Good job, and sorry to be pedantic, but the famous photographer is pronounced ‘Richard Av-e-don’. Keep up the good work. I’m looking forward to the Beatles 1969 year.
It’s a shame how quickly it started it finished, kind a like a shooting star. Culture change and drugs didn’t help, also their personal looks changed dramatically in just a couple of years
Great research and narrative delivery, but WHY the annoying continuous music on a loop?? It’s driving me crazy! I’m a professional musician and can’t take the use of music as window dressing. Your creation is strong enough without it. Have confidence in your voice and expressiveness. Nothing else needed…
This is going to sound rash but John probably got what he deserved for the way he treated Cynthia. If it sounds too much just imagine a husband flaunting his girlfriend in front of his wife hoping she would get the picture and move on quietly without having to break anything to her. As much as I love John Lennon the artist John Lennon the man was a real s.o.b. who the world finally caught up to 12/08/1980.
Rubbish. The semantics of the two are completely different. And syntactically, Jude in German is a general referring to Jews and in Hey Jude the song, is a specific referring to a particular person. There is no syntactic or semantic basis for your remark. Excuse me but I must scold you. Such laziness with language results in real problems. What does anti-Semitic mean? Beware! And if you must make equivalences, please make sure you have a proper linguistic understanding of what you’re doing.
Lennon was a Hitler fan, at one point. He wanted to put Hitler on the Sgt. Pepper album. When the Beatles went to Australia to play concert's, Lennon was on a balcony with the other Beatles, making Nazi salute's, to the fans looking up at the band. On the solo song, "God," he sings about all the thing's he no longer believes in, he sings I don't believe in "Hitler!" I don't have a problem with any of this. Or with antisemitism. I understand it's meaning. It doesn't just mean to be against Jews, but anyone who is semite, eastern people, from the middle east. Now the jews getting upset about the Beatles putting Jude on the window's, advertising Paul's song, "Hey Jude" just proves what intolerant, paranoid jerk's, they are. And then breaking the window and possibly threating to beat Paul up, is acting like a Nazi. Which of course they denounce, at the same time, behave just like them. Jewish hypocritical double standards, as usual. What else is new?
There is nothing wrong with with what he said. “Jude” means “Jew” in german and many other languages. Obviously a German wouldn’t say “Hey”, but apart from that it totally works senantically, just like saying “Hey Swede” or “Hey Englishman”.
A Rainha Elizabet II e o Principe Filipe estavam no Rio de Janeiro em 1968. Mais um ano e surgiram novas canções! Mas o Mundo estava ouvindo os Beatles! E hoje com um celular nas mãos todos podem mostrar para o mundo que o mundo gostava dos Beatles! Beatles 4 ever!❤❤❤
Are you referring to FlipSideCT or someone else? To the other commenters on this thread FlipSideCT usually does long form audio documentaries on The Stones' albums, diving deep into where the band were personally around the time of writing, recording, and releasing of that particular album and even highlights the subsequent tour. The narration takes some getting used to, (not AI, just a voice not naturally born for narration) but the deep research and genuine enthusiasm makes up for it in my opinion.
I seem to recall the band members, including John, later stated there was no truth to the rumors of Maharishi's behavior with women at the retreat. Has anyone else encountered this info?
Great videos. Every Beatles year they were so different and so much happened to them. Each year can rightly be called transitional. The anger John had was a catalyst for the Plastic Ono Band album.
What is amazing to me is that despite all of the troubles , adversities , and personal disagreements that the Beatles started going through after their manager and friend Mr. Brian Epstein passed away in late 1967 they continued to write and produce so many great songs and Albums. 1968's double album officially titled The Beatles but universally known as The White Album , 1969's Abbey Road Album , and their last album named Let It Be released in April 1970 contains some of the greatest music that the Beatles ever recorded. Much of the events described in this video i have heard or read about before except for this confrontation between Paul and John on June 14th in the halls of EMI. I never heard that Paul accused John of undermining the Beatles and being childish.
I always wondered if yoko’s miscarriage was actually real or possibly self induced. With everything happening at the time it totally seems like some power play she would do.

It's funny that you said John's songs were becoming "strange and incomplete". I thought his songs on The White Album were the best of the four.
Not all of them were tbh. Paul had more concise and completed songs compared to the others.
Yeah but for most part they lacked artistic vision and depth. This is where Paul turned to making “pastish” songs and started to favour form over content. There are some great songs like “Blackbird”, “Helter Skelter” and “Martha My Dear”, but also countless of meaningless joke songs like “Obladi Oblada”.
Fantastic work mate, I really appreciate the effort you put into these videos!🤩

Apple launched the career of Cilla Black? She'd had hits going back to 64, I think you might have meant to name someone else.

of The Beatles, there’s no disguising the fact they were surrounded by mind control charlatans who curtailed their talent and power…
Also… no matter how crazy bad
their behaviour is portrayed, reported or described, their work on The White Album will be remembered and celebrated in perpetuity
Thats true to small degree. But overall, they got in over their head.
@@neonfroot The death of Brian Epstein and the appearance of Yoko, two horrible occurrences that couldn't have happened at a worse time.

True that. Their beloved uncle figure is gone, its a miracle they survived and their music was still as good as in their rookie days.

@@jms1963 Call Yoko by her right name, JOKO! CIA asset and a man!
68 was THE most productive year of the Beatles. The year they woke up. Fab!

Very interesting! I didn't know, that John and Yoko lived together for a while in Pauls home in St. John's Wood.
Con man Alex. Then again, it's possible some beatles other than George may have still believed maharishi's bs if not for him. Supposedly.
Takes one to know one, after all
Yes, very good points
However,
Please Note:
*Beatles;...
---->>>>NOT:
"beatles"!!!.
&,
*Maharishi;...
Not: "maharishi".
The rumours about Maharishi were allegedely things that Magic made up cause he wanted to be the exclusive Beatles guru.
14:16 The story is that one Jewish man saw the window and phoned up Paul later. He threatened to have his son come beat him up, but that never came to fruition. You can see the story in Paul’s interview about his most well known songs, I’d like a source that the window was broken.
The window was broken confirmed by fan mail everywhere due to the bigger than Jesus hoopla still brewing.
They could have done without magic alex. 😂
Cynthia returned home from the Greek holiday that she had taken with "Magic Alex."
lmao what are you implying
10:08 yoko showed up in the fool on the hill sessions as well
Wow what a treat. Thank you for this. Had a chuckle at Paul's attempt to instigate kristallnacht unwittingly. Never heard that story before.
Very chuckly you insensitive idiot and I'm not Jewish .
..john was an ahole..the older i get the more i realized he is not what he seemed to be..getting into hard drugs is irresponsible the other beatles clearly knows his temper..its too bad that he was murdered before he could straight things up completely..
I agree 💯💯👍 with you .
Maybe John was saying sorry to Paul via 'Now and Then'?
Love these histories. Great product
Telling the Beatles not to write songs is a bit like telling them to stop breathing air.
Cynthia was a total babe back then and I’m sure she was a sweetheart as well.
She had a new nose, that was perfect for her face.
Magic Alex was a house built on cards.....not a lot of magic more illusion......
Sly John who lost interest in being a Beatle he used Yoko as a sharp stick to poke the Band by brining her into the Studio and offering comments while they were recording.....Yoko was John’s pawn .....
How do you know? Sleeps on the floor in a hospital, but she’s a tool to poke? The anti yoko shit is overblown.
Yeah which is why he stayed with her for 10 years after the band broke up.... yeahh John was playing the long game saving her for when the band got back together yes he was gonna use her as a pawn again hehehehhe
He could very well love her and still use her as a pawn.
Good job, and sorry to be pedantic, but the famous photographer is pronounced ‘Richard Av-e-don’.
Keep up the good work. I’m looking forward to the Beatles 1969 year.
Another great video👍🏻🍏🍏🍏🍏
They could have done without magic alex. 😂
well done. so much angst it seems, but they got a lot done via the white album
Very informative
It’s a shame how quickly it started it finished, kind a like a shooting star. Culture change and drugs didn’t help, also their personal looks changed dramatically in just a couple of years
Great year for The Beatles.
Really? Two breakups, John on heroin, business collapsing...the beginning of the end..

Dear Prudence is genius
We can thank Donovan for teaching John that syle of playing.
This is going to sound rash but John probably got what he deserved for the way he treated Cynthia. If it sounds too much just imagine a husband flaunting his girlfriend in front of his wife hoping she would get the picture and move on quietly without having to break anything to her. As much as I love John Lennon the artist John Lennon the man was a real s.o.b. who the world finally caught up to 12/08/1980.
John Lennon's look changed the most in 1968. He went from psychedelic John, to Porkchop Sideburns John, to Long-hair hippie John.
Hei bullfrog💀💀
Mr. Tyler Thompson do you know the name of the guy who does the Stones videos please?
It’s not so much that the word Jude was “mistaken” for Jew. Hey Jude literally means Hey Jew in German.
Rubbish. The semantics of the two are completely different. And syntactically, Jude in German is a general referring to Jews and in Hey Jude the song, is a specific referring to a particular person.
There is no syntactic or semantic basis for your remark.

Magic Alex saw the Maharishi realised he had competition for biggest conman to attach himself to the Beatles.
I love Paul’s pink pants. Cool video.
haha you don't often see pink pants. in fact i don't think i've seen pink pants anywhere.
There’s another guy who does these really in-depth documentaries about the Stones. Great stuff, love it

Given her constant use of substances and cigarettes a miscarriage was not an unlikely outcome.
If it wasn’t for Yoko, the Beatles would have broken up in 1967

Dislike. Inaccurate title.
It all fell apart after September 1966. That's when Faul joined.
yeah but new Paul wrote some great tunes
Yeah but they were markedely better and more heartfelt with ol Paul.
I played in a band with a guy with Lennon's disposition, he was a dick 🤔
