Fantastic footage

...ta ! Sadly it's filmed on a potato-cam ...an old Hi-8mm , and this was a good camera back then ! These two legends are no longer with us of course - they knew the Beatles when they were unknown teenagers ...an interesting thought !

@@stevenrutter4910 least it's there to be seen, spot on for me

Priceless stuff Steve. All gone now, Bob Wooler, Allan Williams, Uncle Charlie Lennon, Pete Shotton, George Harrison & Ravi Shankar. Cheers for sharing

@@eddiemiles7676 ....yes mate , it was nice to meet Pete and get both books signed , the UK AND the US versions ! I offered to open the curtains for him as he was signing in darkness in the video room and he thanked me ...but then the little moody video man shut them again ! I told Pete that in 1983 I was on holiday in Hayling Island and we went in his old Supermarket at Sandypoint - where John had run up and down the aisles , 'nicking' stuff and stuffing it in his pockets while laughing - saying ...' it's all MINE , so I'll nick what I want !' My pal and me went on a pubcrawl while in Havant nearby , and he got arrested for being drunk !

@@eddiemiles7676 ...I used to have 200 videos on here...but the slightest bit of music gets it blocked due to silly copyright cobblers - so I got fed up with it all and deleted 'em ! I started again , with less music on the videos....but even Howie's saxophone version of 'My Love' got a warning !

Hi Do you know anyone who may have photos from 1968 with Alan Williams in NYC during the management event for Apple announcement? I was in and out of NYC and the Beatles lives at many times. Any behind the scene or odd pictures from 1963-1970? I didn't collect pictures. I didn't go to their jam moments. These photos would be odd to find as the pharmacy picture on Paul McCartney and No Other Baby video. The guys were just friends during my spring breaks from school. I was around when Linda was with her daughter. John was a real sweetheart, George superb friend, Ringo greatest and Paul. I believe I last was in touch right before the breakup and Yoko came into the picture.

That's incredible, I'd love to see photos from that era and hear more about your encounter with the individuals. Hope all is well

Hello Thanks for your post. I was looking for photos. Back then I was just in the city not a fan or photo tourist. I had to meet everyone I wanted before I went back to school. My class was in the Hurt So Bad video in 1965 at the end of the video on ILMJXXX channel. Can't link. We stayed in the area of apartments where Little Anthony was. He did an album Not On That Street Anymore showing a picture of the place. His room looking at the picture was left of the stairs.. I met those guys of the band during the years in NYC, had some time with them. I could show some of the vids, but personally wasn't there like I said as a tourist. I stayed in a lot of places. My first real friend there was Hendrix. I had a lot of fun. Alan Williams I believe drove a big old like oldsmobile brown. I got to be in the back room with the Beatles, very sweet guys. George was the first I met, then John, Paul and Ringo. John was so friendly and adorable. There may be photos from the event where I walked through a lot of lights. I was a small town girl so a bit different for me. Paul was so sweet to me for various reasons often written in my writings. There was a hotel room I got to stay in where they were and Linda was there, but again we are going back a lot of years. Almost every artist from the 60s I met or spent time with, got invited to events often not my interest though the artists were superb. I think this is why I survived the city. Elton John was exceptional for NYC and my time in Hollywood memory now in the thousands of writings I've written. If you find any pics or people from back then would be fun to see or talk with.@@gregorio87
