It Was Twenty Years Ago Today (Granada ©1987)

[@mysteryz4856]

God.... I never knew that I would see this again in my life. Beautiful 😍

[@michaeld5]

Enjoy it while it stays up on KZbin!!

[@guyfaux900]

I've been looking every few years. I'm not sure if this is the one with a guy who goes camping suddenly realizes is bacon is strips of dead pig😂

[@aimformyheadplease]

I've been searching and searching for this since the very earliest days of digitized video, even pre-WWW, when the only way to even get access to the Internet was through a Unix User's Group if not a university student... I''ve looked for it periodically every few years to no avail. I watched this with my fellow Beatles fantastic, me mom, on CBC on June 1, 1987 when I seventeen years old. It occurred to be to take another look today, and viola, finally!!

[@joebeeler990]

This captivated me so much I couldn't stop watching for a year. I looked at it all the time. Thank you for enriching one human. Because of this I ran the most sophisticated jazz festival in Oregon for 18 years. I had a blast because of this documentary.

[@lappansommer546]

I watched it with my mum back in 87, and then the era of the Beatles seemed mysteriously remote and 20 years a gulf unspannable. Now I've found it again, some 37 years later, with my eldest daughter almost the age I was then. Can't wait to see what she makes of it. Thank you so much for posting this!

[@RaeKearns]

Ditto, yes 20 years seems like a blip now…

[@aimformyheadplease]

Funny that, I watched it also with my mum, I was 17 at the time, and 1967 seems bygone eras away. Now to think, as you, at how almost DOUBLE that spacing of years has gone by since (my daughter in her 30s was infected as a Beatle fan, too, she bulldozed her way into getting "In My Life" as the first song played at her high school grad, the song reversed for daughters & dads, and sons & mums to dance, it made me cry, and I NEVER cry, lol, is now infected her own kids with Beatles fanaticism, a 4th generation, with no end in sight, just divine in my eyes!). You post like mine above before I read yours, it's teaching me anew the real meaning of nostalgia because I'm sharing it with a stranger now in a way, you! Thank you!

[@RaeKearns]

@aimformyheadplease time is a strange thing, was watching recently the BBC Rock n Roll Years 1967, and someone made the comment that they have nostalgia for when it was first shown in 1985 odd and the show was all about nostalgia, so it's double nostalgia for the past.....

[@marcusmalone]

OMG I've been hoping someone would post this. I still have it on VHS, recorded from TV, but obvs not easy to watch now. Watched this so many times. Incredibly unique documentary about '67 ❤🎉

[@mentalferret2028]

Watched this in 1987 at age 15. It opened my eyes and changed my life.

[@SurreyMan0409]

Thank you so much for posting this! I missed it when it was broadcast and I’ve been looking for it ever since!

[@filbertthedilbert1]

The best ever doc about the scene in 1967. I learned all about the Diggers and the Dutch provos from this when it was originally broadcast. It’s had a lasting influence for me.

[@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13]

What are Diggers and the Dutch provos

[@hudois]

In 1967, I was 15 and an absolute music fanatic, and for ten years, I truly believed that the music would change the world for the better. When I saw this, I realised what a forlorn hope this had been. I shed a tear as I watched this and the realisation hit home! But the real winner is the greatest music that we have been left with, and the realisation of what magical times we had the greatest of fortune to live through. I'm 72 now, and I wouldn't change one thing!

[@huascar66]

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.

[@ChristopherLightfoot-zu3kb]

Love to see.this again it it’s original unedited glory. That chic riding the White Bicycle of Amsterdam whilst Lucy In The Sky was playing ❤❤❤ and that Dutch activist living on his boat talking about making a Happening. So much is cut out sadly.

[@Anniearchy]

Goodness, I haven't seen this since it first aired!! Thank you for posting!!!

[@MichaelEBrown-wo4zb]

I watched this in 1987, haven't seen it since. my high school history teacher lent me a VHS copy to watch at home. Ill be bookmarking this to watch later.

[@bradparker9664]

I was 8 days away from my 12th birthday on June 1, 1987 when I bought my first Beatles CD...SGT Pepper, which had been released that day. At 48 now, I have more domestic, imported, bootleg, etc Beatles CD's than I can count.

[@lah6739]

I remember the first time I heard the album. I was 12 years old and babysitting some kids. The parents had the album so I listened to it until they got home. Yes, back then a 12 year old could babysit other kids . . .

[@scottspencer4603]

This video just made me weep with joy and sometimes sorrow because I remember that at that times the world and everyone in it whether they believe it or not were in a state of Flux. It wasn't just The Beatles. Everything was changing. People were changing and introducing change and showing that the change could be for the better. Note: Ehe expression on the face of Micky Dolenz after the performance of Ravi Shankar was one of pure bliss.

[@TheTherockffc]

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.

[@keithwaites9991]

Watched it when it was on, and video taped it. Tapes long gone. I'm going to savour this...

[@markuspboeddeker5930]

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

[@RaeKearns]

Funny you said that, remember watching this in 1987 and the Who came on at Monterey and a friend of mine said, ‘not very Mod’(in the British sense) and then Ottis came on and I said, ‘not very Hippy’….

[@dynjarren7523]

This is a great documentary about the most important Rock album of all time. The Beatles Masterpiece!

[@arithefinnishmusiclover]

One of the most Magnificent music documents ever made ! ! ☺️🥰🙏💞

[@guyfaux900]

I'm not sure if this is the one I saw in 1987 but it was a profound experience to see such meditation on a rock and roll album and it's collateral influence on the counter culture of the time.

[@careyrowland]

Thanks for the memories!

[@Jantonov1]

I bought Sgt Pepper on cassette when this doc came out. I was 15. My first Beatles album!

[@sjdrifter72]

I recall watching this on PBS in 1987. What I remember best was the final piano chord of A Day In The Life in the closing credits and wishing they'd include the inner groove...which they did! Yay!

Some part cut off, original version after Paul talks about adding the jangling sound 15:38 they show the Beatles playing If I Needed Someone

[@michaelharrington75]

Yeah, it looks like around 20 minutes has been edited out according to the running time (approximately 105 minutes) shown on Wikipedia.

[@michaelharrington75]

I saw an interview with Eric Burdon where he was talking about being in a hotel in San Francisco with some other musicians of the time, and Jimi Hendrix was there. He said he was looking out the window and saw the police dragging some Vietnam protestors off, and ask Jimi, "What do you think about that, Jimi?" He said Jimi replied, "Well.., if they were to see the red Chinese rolling into South Vietnam they'd understand why troops were being sent over there."

[@Goatchild90]

Sgt. Pepper's = The most important LP ever released

[@valentintrujillomuela8482]

Yo creo que hubiese sido perfecto si hubiesen eliminado los dos primeros temas de la cara B, y se hubieran añadido Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane y Only a Northern Song, dando un total de 14 temas. El original baja mucho en la cara B hasta que llega el apoteósico A Day in the Life.

[@waynej2608]

That would've been amazing. I'd save Good Morning, Good Morning, Sgt Pepper reprise and of course A Day in the Life. But I'm cool with the way it turned out. We still have those incredible songs on other albums. I love Strawberry Fields Forever! 👍

[@hermanflores6683]

It was a fine album, but less important than Revolver. It was the beginning of the end for the remaining 3 beatles. No more important than Buffalo Springfield Again, or Spirit's The 12Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus. R.I.P. J.P. McCartney .

[@SluffAdlin]

Let me be the unpopular opinion, there were better albums in 1967. “Are You Experienced” - The Jimi Hendrix Experience, “The Piper at the Gates of Dawn” - Pink Floyd, “Their Satanic Majesties Request” - The Rolling Stones i thought was better than Sgt Pepper…. Definitely more realistic

[@marcusmalone]

These are all classics but just sonically one dimensional compared to Pepper's imo.

[@bobtausworthe]

If we are just talking about the songs we could have the conversation you suggest. However, none of the albums you suggest break new ground in terms of affecting society, affecting how music and records are made. Pink Floyd was recording Piper right next to the Beatles at Abbey Rd and Roger Waters is on record saying Sgt Pepper deeply affected how Pink Floyd made music

[@bernie4268]

Nothing comes close to the quantum leap into cosmic inner space As A Day in the Life with John’s moan before the flip back into the final verse, and the harmonic closing note banged on the piano fading into oblivion. - It has everything. Has anyone written a book about that track?

This is re-edited in some unfortunate ways. Here is the full text of what Peter Coyote had to say: Except they cut a lot out this time of what Coyote had to say: Re the newly edited version of the ‘87 documentary (link above) on the St Peppers album, they decided to edit out about half of what Peter Coyote had to say, which is the original version was, “You know, the media has an insatiable hunger, fellows [looks directly at camera]. And it must report 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. And then it always has to cloak whatever it’s reporting in the conventional morality of the time. I very much resent. . .the media collaboration which tries to pass off the 60s as a drug-induced euphoria and a failure, and which has misrepresented a lot of our efforts to young people, [leading them to think] that it didn’t work. Most of the people I know that are still living are carrying on their work. Their style has changed; it doesn’t matter if they have long hair or short hair, but they’re carrying on that kind of religious intention in their communities, with nature. I don’t think it’s been a failure. I think the Reagan years are a temporary reaction, by the forces that were maybe threatened a little too assiduously during the 60s, to regroup and remind themselves that the world paradigm they understood is not completely shattered. But in fact it is shattered. The times they are a-changing, and I hope, perhaps, that if succeeding generations of young people could be a little more compassionate and not judge their elders so bitterly -- and leave the door open for more and more people -- that that change will continue to escalate and each time around the spiral, you get a little more wisdom and the group consciousness clicks just a notch higher. If we’re lucky."

I'm not sure about the "Baby Boomers" being at the center of this. Timothy Leary said it was 1946-1964 I think. Well I was born in 1957, so I was only 10 years old in 1967. I was too young for that whole happening. All the people in this film were older then me. So it doesn't quite make sense (?) I certainly dug it all when I was 13 in 1970!
