😱! First time hearing Beatles | Tell me why | I should have known better | Reaction

[@AntonioCDias-bh7ns]

Tears came to my eyes when I see the Beatles --- for almost fifty years...

[@bryansimmons4550]

Try listening to the complete songs. I fist heard them 60 years ago and they still give me chills.

[@Novelist1958]

Same here. Saw them live on Sullivan 60 yrs ago, at 6 yrs of age, and have been blissed out by them ever since.

[@johannesvalterdivizzini1523]

they were all around 20 at this time---all these songs were written by them---so much talent.

[@garychambers5850]

The Beatles will always be the Greatest! So glad I experienced them from 1964 when I seen them on TV that Sunday Night, Feb 9th, 1964, on *𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙀𝙙 𝙎𝙪𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙖𝙣 𝙎𝙝𝙤𝙬* Might seem crazy but, seems like it wasn't that long ago❓🌞🚶‍♂🚶‍♂🚶‍♂🚶‍♂💘

[@timberrington8230]

I grew up as a kid listening to the Beatles. Fond memories.

[@patdonnelly9392]

Great reaction, my friend! I grew up with the Beatles and still listen to them and sing Beatle songs around my house! Once a Beatle fan, always a Beatle fan. Thank you❤

[@franksullivan1873]

Hard to believe the years have flown by from those wonderful innocent times.Now I am old….😩

[@burrburr6816]

Dude just fell in love with the 60’s

[@garychambers5850]

I was a little kid in the 60's. So fortunate to have experienced all the groups and everything else, From the JFK assassination to the bad Vietnam war to the fights of Muhammad Ali! the 1969 Landing on the Moon.🌛. So much... Wow, what a decade.

[@joanduncan904]

5:28 From the movie A Hard Days Night. I remember my grandad taking meto see it in 1964. I was fourteen, he was in his 70s, I'm so lucky to have been a teenager in the 60s,

[@binxbolling]

Top selling musicians of all time.

[@dionysiacosmos]

There's a documentary titled How The Beatles Changed the World floating around free on most streaming channels. It's not a simple bio pic as most are but really puts in perspective who they were, and how and why they changed so many things in ways that are still very relevant today and will be tomorrow. I learned about a lot of things that I was way too young to understand when they were happening. I was 4 when The Beatles made their American TV debut on The Ed Sullivan Show.

[@dcg4mn]

Another fascinating doc is the view from teenagers in the Soviet Union!! “How the Beatles Rocked the Kremlin” The overall premise is that the absurdity of banning them helped the young generation realize how absurd the whole system was and contributed to its downfall. They were awesomely creative in finding ways around the ban‼️ 🥰

[@dcg4mn]

The Beatles were SO important to us emotionally it’s maybe impossible to explain - it was never “just pop music” to us, we really felt they were speaking for us: probably because of the almost unbreakable pressure to conform we felt both at school and home. For young teens the Beatles showed us/told us we could break out and be ourselves - and have a LOT of fun doing it. It’s always moving to see others begin to understand there was something deeply important and joyful about them: even their “simplest” songs were extremely sophisticated on various levels: production, melody, beauty…

[@Eduardude]

I think we loved them because they were very lovable and loving musical geniuses. And the love and the musical genius were not two things, but somehow one thing. Love and a kind of vulnerability and honesty and unpretentiousness and humor were a big part of their absolutely brilliant musical creations. And together, those lovable and rather honest geniuses had a miraculous musical synergy. Other bands often had a single lead singer, and were therefore sort of monotonous by contrast with the Beatles, where you had three really unique and marvelous lead singers. And one of them, Paul, while he was with the Beatles, had a truly miraculous, gorgeous voice, capable of the most soothing dulcet tones, but also capable of screaming with remarkable beauty. While he was with the Beatles, Paul was "the man of a thousand voices." He could sound so different in every song, yet each of his voices was so incredibly pleasurable. I loved John's and George's voices too, but not quite as much as Paul's. I'm tempted to say that John was the better melody writer, but one always comes up against melodies by Paul that were at least as good as anything by John. Put John and Paul together, and no one else can come close. When the Beatles broke up and went their own ways, they were all maybe only one-tenth or one-hundredth as good when they were together.

[@PeterOConnell-pq6io]

Weren't they great? The girls thought so. This was an incredible performance. (Belatedly occured to me it's from director Richard Lester's "Hard Days Night" movie)

[@mattplus09]

Six years later, after around 200+ recorded songs on a dozen or so albums, they were done. Their musical/song writing progression during that time is arguably unprecedented. Nice reaction! Good journey :) Peace!

[@franksullivan1873]

Amazing times to live in for sure.I am a lucky man,lol.

[@mike-u5y7t]

Watch the movie: A Hard Days Night and you will have the soundtrack of one of the Beatles greatest rock albums. John's best album IMO.

[@williamcabell142]

This is from the Movie Hard Days Night! It is a wonderful movie made by the Boys! You should watch it! 👍

[@robiandolo]

These are 2 of my favorite Beatle tunes!

[@DJBilodeau]

Now we get to see John Lennon take the lead vocals! In the early days of Beatlemania!!!

[@Eduardude]

So MANY magnificent Beatles songs over the years they were together. This video has a few great examples. Why do I love these young men's voices so much??!!!! Too deep in my heart! It's almost painful it's so deep in me. I guess the pain is that I miss them and their music, it's the nostalgia for something that was such a big part of the soul of the times. I remember riding the NY subway a few days after John was killed. I guess I had a somewhat morose look on my face. There was a guy sitting across from me. And when he got up to get off the train, he looked at me and simply said, "he was like a brother." And got off the train. He somehow saw that John was on my mind and knew I'd know he was talking about John by saying "he was like a brother." He knew that I sort of felt like John was a brother I had just lost! And this guy on the train felt the same way! A lot of people felt like that. For about three years after John's death, there were traces of pain in my heart over it. So many people felt so intimate with these guys that we only called them by their first names, there was no need to say the last name. Just John, Paul, George, and Ringo.

[@jamesrowe3606]

This is an extended clip from their first film, A Hard Day's Night. I was 11 years old when I first saw and heard it in a cinema in Lancashire, England,! in the summer of '64. The auditorium was packed to capacity and we sang along to every word of every song. For those who say The Beatles were overrated, you had to be there to witness their impact on my generation. It's no exaggeration to say it was life-changing for many of us.

[@DJBilodeau]

Ephraim I love how you take us so deep into these tracks! 60 year old songs are brand new watching your reaction!!! So emotional and touching!

[@joemcmillan2089]

Sooooo much better than RAP or hip Hop... Just my humble opinion though...

[@garychambers5850]

The Beatles are in a Class of their own. Rap and Hip Hop are not really music so count that out. In a few years that will all be gone..

[@patticrichton1135]

@@garychambers5850 Totally agree!!

[@DJBilodeau]

Paul and George singing on the mike in the opening scene.

[@williamcabell142]

Elvis, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and the Eagles…the sculptures of three generation of music! 50’,60’s, and 70’s! The Sam G gods oh rock! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@garychambers5850]

I will always love Elvis. I'm just sad that he turned on The Beatles. Saying they were nothing but druggies, and a bad influence on the kids. Elvis even met The Beatles. He and Priscilla invited them into their home when they were staying in California. Elvis even recorded some of their songs. And then he meets President Nixon telling them how bad the Beatles are. The Beatles took it to heart! Their Idol was against them! The Beatles did knock Elvis out of the top spot. The Beatles were bigger than Elvis and I guess he was very jealous of that. The Beatles couldnt care less..

[@lemming9984]

Can't believe you put The Eagles in the same sentence as Beatles, LZ and Elvis. They really aren't worthy.

[@DJBilodeau]

I so want to support this channel! Some of the most important work in the world going on right now in the world, bringing people all over the world over music. Music has a unique power to unite people who otherwise would be divided against each other. So important in today's troubled world. God bless you, Ephraim, for taking on this great mission of love for humanity.

[@DJBilodeau]

Listen to those harmonies on "If I Fell". Paul's "honey" voice mixed with John's "vinegar" voice, according to their producer George Martin. George is part of the three part harmony mix in this song.

[@fayewood1377]

wow you brought back great memory for me I was 12 when I went to my first Beatle concert and 13 at my second , I won tickets both times, my dad took me and my sisters friends 30 miles and waited untill it was over the second time he drove 30 miles to buy a ticket for my older brother to go with me , it was awesome to experience and showed me my fathers love to do that for me.

[@Onda-v1t]

These were studio recordings lip synced for the movie, A Hard Day's Night. If you want to see and hear live, check out the 1964 and 1965 Ed Sullivan performances.

[@DJBilodeau]

I am so knocked out by your reaction and analysis! I am a fan of this channel!!!

[@Honkersification]

G'day mate. So moving. Mike here from Australia. Nice choice.

[@jamesm.3967]

This wasn’t even live. It was just a playback. You can tell by Ringo high hat, not moving, in any case. This was their Beatlemania prime.

[@stickydrummer1.0]

it was live bro. There are camera angles where you see the beatles and the audience. Just go the beginning and the end for example and the part before Tell Me Why switches to If I Fell. Ringo just lays softly and the Hi-Hat is slightly moving. And if you say that I do not have any knowledge about instruments etc: I play the drums for 13 years, guitar and bass. But just in case

[@anselmofiamozzini2169]

Depois de 60 anos, as pessoas ainda se derretem pelos Beatles. Isso é fantástico !

[@DJBilodeau]

Ringo Starr is the drummer.

[@DJBilodeau]

Then John singing by himself on a microphone.

[@robertwasserman6330]

If you want to tell me at his age this guy never heard the Beatles than the world is really flat. This whole world is wac

[@gordonmorris6359]

They were victims of a cover-up, but now they're Beatlemaniacs, the mania that will save them from all the bad manias that prevail.

[@NC-Mama-Bear]

He said it's the first time hearing THESE particular songs. He's a nice man, a good reactor from Nigeria who's been doing Beatles reactions for months. SMH

[@grahamthompson2594]

This concert remaster is good, but somehow the smoothed vocals have lost the elation.

[@patticrichton1135]

DE KING, you need to GO BACK and do this reaction again and PLAY the ENTIRE VIDEO, you cut it off too soon. It contains THREE songs in a row, "TELL ME WHY," "IF I FELL" (which you cut off) and then goes on with "I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER" it's ONE video. I think you would like the rest of "IF I FELL" and definitely like "I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER" which is a more upbeat song. This is from the concert part of their FIRST THEATRICAL movie "A HARD DAY'S NIGHT" in 1964.

[@patticrichton1135]

Hi DE KING, I just came back and I see that you DID REDO your reaction and included "I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER" as I suggested above 4 months ago!! THANK YOU De KING for doing that! MORE BEATLES REACTIONS. PLEASE!!

[@Zholobov1]

Is your reaction for real?

[@garyfletcher844]

Yes they are for real. Why would you say that. They are not AI. They are the most famous band in the history of the world silly.

[@Y-two-K]

song is pitched down. sounds creepy. is this really even the beatles performing?

[@patticrichton1135]

THIS is directly from their FIRST theatrical movie "A HARD DAY'S NIGHT" it is in the closing scenes of the movie, when they have their concert. YES it is them, I have been listening to them since Jan. 26, 1963 when "I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND" was released in the U.S. It is definitely THEM.
