What Made The Beatles The Greatest Band Of All Time? | In The Life | Amplified

[@secretknowledge1223]

I saw The Beatles perform on the Ed Sullivan Show on Sunday, February 9th, 1964 when I was 12 years old. When they sang "I Want to Hold Your Hand," I fell in love with them and knew that I was witnessing history being made. They have been a part of my life ever since and at the age of 72, I still consider myself a fan.

[@TonyBurke-nq5ib]

They worked their butts off in Hamburg so when they returned back home they were really tight but their real strength was in their songs Paul and John wrote some exceptional songs. either together or individually. George didn't get a chance to have his songs included but just look at what he released after they split. Even nowadays in 2024 young musicians compare their work to the Beatles sixty years later.

You folk's need to do a bit more study on 'The Beatles' there should be enough real information out there to find out more fact's. The only real fact we all need to embrace, is our love for 'The Beatles'. I don't really need to know how many album's they sold, or where, I know I have all their record's, Their UK EMI parlophone recording's, I also have the Purple/dark blue, boxed set, I also have them in CD format, plus both the BBC collection's. The full CD Anthogy sets, and DVD video Anthology set. The Polydor Recording's recorded in Germany with Tony Sheridan, as the 'Beat Brothers'. I have the 'Live at The Hollywood Bowl' recordings, 1965/1966. I also have 'Live At The Star Club' in Hamburg, Germany. I have the 'Beatles' Live in Adelaide in June 1964, with Jimmy Nichol on drums, and live in Melbourne with Ringo Starr, after he had his tonsils out. I have many 'Bootleg' recording's of the 'Beatles' playing live in various location's across the world. These days there is a lot of remastered recording's coming out, that make the performance sound better. I also have a lot of DVD video footage, of The Beatles playing live, and their individual career's , after their split. I'm lucky to have all these, I'm lucky to have lived through their time, and experienced the influence they had on our existence and the world.

I was 10 years old in 1963. I grew up listening to the Beatles. My parents even liked them! How could you not?! We lived in small farm town Kansas. Some 2,000 people. My entire family knew what was good and what was not. We listened to KOMA out of Oklahoma all the time. We lived in Kinsley, Kansas, not far from the Oklahoma state line. Man there was a ton of great music in the 60s on the radio all day long. And the Beatles kept churning out hit after hit. When I bought one of their 45 records side B was just as good as side A. And believe me that was rare on a 45 record! Man the Beatles were absolutely loaded with tons of great songs! They never ever ran out of good songs. We couldn't wait for the next album to come out! We knew it would be good and we were never disappointed!! They broke up when I was a junior in high school. My favorite Beatle song is "A Day In The Life". I was in junior high and when I first heard that song on the radio I was mesmerized. My friend and I left his house and walked downtown to the pool hall in somewhat of a daze.

There is mystery and serendipity involved in the formation of this foursome. In December of 1963, nobody had heard of them. On February 9th, two months later, 73 million viewers watched them on the Ed Sullivan show. From that point on, they were the musical vanguard of the sixties. They influenced music, fashion, attitudes and counterculture. Never before or since has there been a group to have such an impact on society worldwide.

[@gerhardprasent3358]

Sorry, incorrect. In Dec. 1963 the whole of GB and the majority of Europe already went Beatles-crazy. 2 months later they conquered the US, I Want To Hold Your Hand already a hit in late January there.

[@MikeGreenwood51]

Their fame, screaming hysterical girls, record sales and musicaal accomplishments predate Ed Sullivan Show. If as you wrote 'no one had ever heard of them' before the 1964 Ed Sullivan Show! Then why did they leave the airport and go straight to the Top Spot TV 1964 Ed Sullivan Show? Why would four unheard of nobodys be presented to those 73 million viewers. Was Ed Sullivan playing roulette and taking pot luck with a 36 to one chance against the four nobodys having even a minimum entertainment ability to please '73 million viewers'. Of course he wasn't. He knew of them. He was a top USA act and would not be risking his popularity on a long shot due to four newbi nobodys phoning him up saying they were coming over to his live show with drums and guitars from England. LOL. They were booked in to the 1964 Ed Sullivan Show in advance. Not because they were never heard of before but due to their existing success.

The term "Beatlemania" had already been coined by the time they arrived in America. They were immensely popular in Britain and Europe and already had a string of hits. Maybe most Americans had never heard of them, but you must remember, America is NOT the whole world, and other countries DO exist outside of the States, despite what was drummed into you at school.

One of the few videos that explain the Beatles were getting pennies for all that work and creativity. This was common in the business because all the rockers were young and everyone took advantage. Paul complained about it in an interview and said he made more money with Wings.

[@landonweb]

Good documentary, but I totally disagree with the statement that Let It Be was a disappointing album! Like everything made by this top class group, Lei It Be is full of gems and creativity. I mention only Lennon's "Across the Universe" (a true masterpiece) but there are many other great tracks on Let It Be. The only flaw from my point of view is Phil Spector's production that does not fit the sound of this unique and immortal band for anyone who really loves the art of music.

[@phillipbachelor3884]

I question whether it is a good documentary when they got so many facts wrong. And "Let It Be" had three #1 songs "Let It Be", "Get Back" and "The Long and Winding Road". I loved the "Let It Be" Album.

This is just a general comment based on the information being somewhat inaccurate. One person said "does it really matter?" "this is 'You Tube'! It kinda doesn't matter in part, because of all the lies that are spread about by the (PID) lie's and stories that continue to surface. What the reader's need to realise, is! These people are not 'Beatle' fans, not now or ever have been, they don't like the 'Beatles' and never have liked the 'Beatles', this is what we fan's need to take on board and realise that these people are a bunch of stirrer's, who for some personal reason of their own, want to keep their finger on the button that has the word (lie) on it, and will go the extra distance to cause and have a negative argument with 'Beatle' Fan's. It is best to ignor them completely, and don't get dragged into their STIR, they will tell all matter of story and lie, to try to prove they know what they're talking about. This information here, written about all these fact's being wrong, and adding their answer in return to the fact's being wrong, isn't worth the effort, and isn't worth the anxiety that goes along with it. We 'Beatle' fans have good and great positive feelings for 'The Beatles', and our time spent following them, listening to their music, going to their concert's when they did back in the day, we bought their records, and any magazine that may have displayed photo's and articles about them. It lasted but a short time, 1963 to 1966, then they stopped touring all together, because people had gotten out of control with the mania madness that surrounded them. People went to concert's to.see them, or catch a glimpse of them, no one was listening to them, it wasn't about their music, that had gone out the window, they couldn't hear themselves playing or singing, all they could hear was people screaming their lung's out, Journo's taking photos, unintelligent question's being asked of them, just a lot of stupidity and mayhem. George Harrison remembers of his time with the Beatlemania, was being chased, his clothes being ripped and torn, his hair being ripped out by the hand full's, being pushed and shoved over, and being trampled on, and ending up requiring medical treament for severe injuries he received from out of control Fan's, mainly all young wild girls. George hated it, (noted in his book 'I Me Mine' ) he wanted it to stop, so midway through the 'Beatles' 1966 American concert tour, they decided enough was enough, it was over, and Brian was told by 'The Beatles' that they had had enough and wanted to stop being a touring band. Brian Probably had no final say in the decision, in fact George wanted out of 'The Beatles' all together he was done, tired, disappointed in how it had all turned out. John was also fed up, Paul was contented to carry on, he got off on the screaming and carry on, sadly he was out numbered. They did reach an agreement to become a studio recording band, but took a year or so off, to refuel, recharge, reflect on what they had done, but with a more mature approach to music. They are the greatest band there ever was.

The documentation is very disappointing! Where you start, "In the beginning Paul McCartney sung backup vocals". Ha, Ha That is not true! They all took lead vocals to different songs in Hamburg, Germany. And John Lennon was the lead guitarist? That not true! They have three guitarists in the very beginning. Pete Best and Stu Suticliff left temporary? No, they left for good. And they quit touring in 1966, not 1967. Sid Griffin spouting off Lennon songs to "Abbey Road". And "Golden Slumbers" is a Paul McCartney song, not a John Lennon song. And it didn't take around three years to put out the Album "Let It Be". The beginning of January of 1969 is when The Beatles started filming the "Get Back" or "Let It Be" Film. And the Album came out May 8, 1970. Sid Griffin saying that the Album "Let It Be" is a bad Album and it shouldn't be released! Because it didn't have a ton of good songs! "Get Back" was a #1 Hit, "Let It Be" was a #1 Hit and "The Long and Winding Road" was a #1 Hit. Plus, it had "Across the Universe", "Two OF Us"" and "I Got a Feeling". Disappointing documentation!

The Beatle dynamic was easy to understand; with Lennon and McCartney in such close proximity they wrote their own and each other's songs as a single entity. When suddenly Yoko glued herself to John to the point of not literally allowing Lennon to be anywhere without her, the writing partnership of McLen died. Lennon became in effect a powerless puppet, and Paul was pushed away forever dooming the group.

Why? Because in 1965 nobody had ever used a huge sports stadium for this kind of entertainment. They bad been booked into 1,000 seat max. theatres in England. In 1964 it was a great leap of imagination to find a venue as large as the Washington Colleseum (20,000 people- a boxing venue) for them and it took that first visit to America to show the money making potential of larger venues so when in 1965 "Bernstein Productions" gambled on a venue as big as Shea they held their breath for the over a month and a half that it took to sell all the tickets to a consumer that was unaccustomed to go to a baseball stadium to see a musical act. It was the first large Stadium concert and yet another paradigm shift that they were directly or indirectly responsible for.

Hundreds of thousands would flock to where-ever the Beatles were out of love with out any coersion.

Johns genius and obvious versatility

[@JamesDonald-bl3zp]

As usual the damn public didnt understand what John ment when he said those comments, what he said was the absolute truth, and the public just twisted it around to something stupid ,,,,as usual !

[@zbestofalldreams]

How come U didn't even mention Z ANTHOLOGY Release with 2 new songs + Now & Then., last year...?!?

[@jimcramer5125]

It is SO unbelievable that the perfect drummer for the Beatles was, hey, right there in the exact same town in the WORLD that the Beatles were from!! Can you imagine Paul and John holding auditions for a drummer? That did not happen nor did it need to. SO lucky for them AND for the whole music world. I don't even want to THINK what another drummer might have done to that portfolio! HELP!!

Of Shea, John said "At Shea I saw the mountain top."

WTH was wrong with just Lennon/McCartney under song's names as always...?

[@waynekasmar4401]

I thought that MacCartney joined the Quarrymen almost straight after the first encounter with them, not a year later, as stated here.

[@papercup2517]

Maybe get an actual music historian to write the next Beatles documentary? This one is riddled with small but irritating factual inaccuracies, as we find in so many attempts to map the life and times of the greatest band of the 20th century. With so much well researched material on them available, surely it shouldn't be so hard to get it right?

The name of this channel is Amplified but the sound if much too soft...

When I was at work in 1980 spot-welding sheet metal parts together for a grain-drier manufacturer, I heard on the radio about John Lennon and then I was just in a fog the rest of the day. It looked like to me in this video that Paul was pissed off, that a friend and co-composer in the most famous band that will ever grace this earth, was killed by a cheap-ass nobody.

[@artsahobby123]

Listen to this video again. What does it say? The BBC said there were 4 shots. Is that what they told you?

The Beatles have sold more around 700,000,000 records, albums, CD's, and downloads. 🙂

[@archangelmusic13]

actually you're wrong, the beatles reached 1 billion in sales for their singles alone back in 1985. it made the news back then. they are now over 3 billion in sales today.just their singles alone sold over a billion in 1985, not even counting album sales.

[@OldIrishFan1966]

"'Let It Be' doesn't have a lot of good songs on it..."? Ummm, what? Let It Be Get Back Long And Winding Road I've Got A Feeling Across The Universe Dig A Pony Two Of Us One After 909 For You Blue I, Me, Mine Uhhhh, yeah, right

[@papercup2517]

Yes, indeed. The after-thought of getting Phil Spector to post-produce it, resulting in all those overblown, saccharine orchestrations was a mistake, of course, musically speaking. But as you say, it's crammed with good and great songs. I don't think the writers of this 'documentary' really have much knowledge of their subject since the whole thing is riddled with inaccuracies.

[@fourthtunz]

Ringo didn’t join the band until August of 1962

[@BeatlesFan1975]

183 million copies sold? Try 750M albums sold 😊

[@archangelmusic13]

they reached 1 billion in sales back in 1985.and that was just for their singles alone, not counting album sales, they are now officially over 3 billion in sales.but for some reason many sites say they are still under 1 billion.

[@martinworkens6130]

I have not heard a reference to Buddy Holly and his Crickets. Crickets to Beatles. They followed Buddy Holly on his tour of England , dressed like him in high button 3 piece suits. Go to Buddy Holly Museum on Lubbuck Texas. The first you hear us Paul McCartney stating the first 40 songs were influenced by Buddy Holl? Big hole in this documentary.

Rubber Soul for ever.

This is ridiculous. The Video has as many Commercials as any awful Cable TV. It's actually worse because there are nearly as many Minutes of Ads as there are Video.

[@jordanshel1930]

George died in 2001…not 2002. For a relatively engaging and well produced Beatles retrospective….theres a number of odd mistakes.

[@NCthorn]

Let It Be a 'bad album'? Guess everyone has an opinion...

[@julianbarber4708]

Hey Jude was certainly not on the original UK release.
