ah wonder what aw them grannies think seein them selves now cos most of them will be 70 or 80 Yr old , aye !

Ferry Cross the Mersey still brings tears to my eyes, sixty years on.

This footage was 1965 & 66

You made NO mention of the worldwide phenomenon MOTOWN!

The Tielman Brothers from Holland taught John Lennon & Paul McCartney how to play rock 'n' roll and develop their stage actin Hamburg . Years later, when they asked Millionaire Macca for medical assistance, he had conveniently forgotten all about them.

Why all the fuss over The Beatles? There were many better, brilliant and longer lasting groups to come out of the 60s. The Rolling Stones started in 62 and are still performing 62 years later. Think The Beatles lasted 10 years?

Of all those early UK beat groups, no one 'wailed the blues' like Eric Burdon.

📺 1967 1987 1992

Yes the 1930s was grim. But it was geographically very variable in the UK - and France and the US had worse depressions, whereas the downturn in the early 1920s in Britain was worse than theirs (thought not as bad as Germany's). The accidental adoption of cheap money and house building meant that the National Government had a better record than some assume. That's not to negate the misery of unemployment or the achievement of 1945-51. But this view is now not eccentric; it's become pretty mainstream amongst historians.

One of the best group that l knew and listen.

I videotaped this from The Discovery Channel in 1990. What a treasure.

I’m in my mid 70’s. We had the best cars, best music, and the best babes ever. I hope kids in the future can say the same. It truly was magical!

The most mind-blowing thing in this might still be the pretty straight Otis & the MGs at Monterey.

It is a shame that these present times have very little music of quality to represent them.

It’s a pity this isn’t the full doco. Some parts lose a bit of context like levitating the Pentagon. It was originally more a metaphorical imaginative Idea from the east coast but on the west coast they were ‘thinking of ways of making it happen’ 😀.

I remember watching this in 1987, the Reagan/Thatcher years, with envy as a teen. I was saddened that it appeared that the positive social change and cultural freedom that existed for a brief time would never occur again. That is the premise/backdrop under which this documentary was made. Hindsight, it may be equally significant to consider the difference from 1987 and today. Our current western society is reflective of one that has incorporated many of the freedoms and values learnt from 1967 that did not exist in 1987. Much more so. Amazing really. Think on.

Now I’m 61 twenty years seems nothing.

Altamonte wasn't mentioned

I grew up on rock and in my 20s got into jazz. You know what's nice about a jazz concert? You can hear the music instead of screaming

Don't forget my friends the consequences this intense fame brought much corruption drugs and immorality that also changed everything. Humans are not meant to be adorned like this and showered with riches it will destroy them and it did. The death and so much evil that came with this wave was clearly evident. But the music was Popular too much maybe

Beatles even played at my school. 1960 I think. A bit before my time.... 28.42 My Mum used to play golf with Mike D`Abos mum. My rock n roll claim to fame....Man

Good old Lonnie his old man was a dustman 😂

Surely the first wave was the fifties with Billy Fury,Marty Wilde etc?

EAT YOUR HEART OUT, TAYLOR SWIFT!!!!!

Very good job here...one of the best I've seen.

Best time to grow up. I was sixteen and I’ve seen every one of these bands live

It's hard to watch knowing that a lot of people became obnoxious Trump supporters when they got old.

If there had been no Hank Williams there would've been no Lonnie Donegan and if there was no Lonnie Donegan there would've been no Beatles,,,,,,, the rest is history

What is the name of the song being played by, Cream? In this documentary, please.

Introduction is total B/S

Mr Jones was in reality Brian Jones of the rolling stones and so is tale of a thin man

I was there

Aloha, WOW🎶thank you. Brought back magical memories. Got to see many of these bands back in the 60’s in NYC and Brooklyn🎸✌🏼🥁🌼.

Очень вспоминательно!

In other words western democracies made everything in their power to bring Hitler to power.

I wouldn't have put Gerry, Freddy or Herman in the rock an roll category. They were more Liverpool pop to my mind. Was a teenager during those days.

Beatle version of i wanna be your man. 10 times better

Unfair..how abt the dc5 ?

I watched this when it was first broadcast. I recorded it on a VHS machine. The tape deteriorated long ago. This is an excellent documentary of 1967, specifically the Summer of Love, of which Sgt. Pepper was the soundtrack.

It's a bit weird that this video completely skipped over The Byrds, the first American group who were directly inspired by The Beatles. In fact, the entire L.A. music scene is ignored, much of which owed its emergence to the British Invasion. The video gave very short shrift to pretty much all of 1965 & 1966 (except The Monkees), in both Britain and the U.S. But I guess there's only so much they could fit into 56 minutes, and they did cover most of the "first wave" (albeit with the glaring omission of the DC5).

they always say that the best music was when you were a teenager but actually in the case of being a teenager growing up in the sixties in england this is this is true the sixties were the best time for the best music the seventies coming second!

I used to think Pete smashing up his guitar at the end was interesting. Now I just think it's stupid.

Actually, George was quoting from a poem entitled simply 'Love' by Scott
