May 13, 1997 - VH1 Beatles Interviews for Anthology 3 (w/Commercials & Fox News Interruption)

[@reginaldmaplethorp]

George: “I’ll do the bleeding interview, but I’m not gettin out of me rickshaw”

[@geoffroy1970]

Hilarious

[@m.st.6657]

George smiling while Ringo sings Octopuses Garden ist just hella adorable

[@TheaterPup]

Yeah love George encouraging Ringo’s writing. He knew what it was like to be ignored.

[@jsnterprise9nygra636]

Yes, 2023 sucks in every way possible; 1997 was a HELL of a lot more fun, Lord I hate getting older!

[@Gerardoooooooo]

George was so great.

[@TheaterPup]

He was indeed. :)

[@pennylaneaidan7087]

There's no end to the Beatles.

[@TheaterPup]

Damn right :D

[@robertsagers5355]

Hahahaha I loved George quoting Dylan’s “Subterranean Homesick Blues” towards the end there!

[@TheaterPup]

And then called it "the law of karma," which is very high praise from him. :)

[@jeanmyers1787]

I think it’s so funny that on the roof the policemen sent to close them down were such fans they asked Paul ‘how much longer will you be?’’ Paul said another half an hour & they said ‘Oh OK’.

[@Freshy009]

Such a lovely time capsule into the past, loved the interviews (and the ads too) 😁

[@Onehappyworlds]

Wow! I remember seeing these in 1996 on vh1 music channel. Just listening to the Beatles talk is something cool. These were promotions for the last of the anthology series.

[@TheJMonster1]

Thanks for uploading this, great stuff

[@ConglomerationCat]

This is sure hard to get through with half the songs muted due to copyright.

[@Professorkenneth]

Ringo saying"Rubber soul" had to be muted😂smh...bloody hell

[@TheaterPup]

KZbin didn't like the song in the background, lol.

[@allbuzzedup1]

Every time you are tempted to think what a pranny Paul is...just remember that phenomenal bass part in “ Everybody’s got something to hide Except me and my Monkey”...also the frantic fireman’s bell he added to the track

[@sandraversteeg1259]

Paul’s a frickin genius

[@loosilu]

John got nasty about Paul when he was jealous.

[@ExtremeBeatlesArchive]

He like to keep his Fireman's Bell clean, It's a clean machine.

[@johnharrison9685]

It’s funny that Paul used the phrase “the Beatles stripped naked” to describe the Glyn Johns mix of the Get Back album in 1997, and the Let it Be album reissue of 2003 was titled “Naked”. Should’ve been titled “Stripped”, never have liked the “Naked” title.

[@adamlewis1961]

The Stones had an album called "Stripped" in 1995...guess they didn't want to copy them

[@johnharrison9685]

@@adamlewis1961 AAAaaahhhhhh, didn’t know that. So that probably explains it. Still not too wild of the “Naked” title.

[@alvalankerofficial]

I thought the same thing

[@bganey]

The album should have been titled "Get Back" and featured the naked versions of the songs. I like LIBN, but I do miss Charles Hawtrey and the Deaf Aids. Without the Specter version, we would never know what happened to Doris.

[@l.1250]

I love the Octopus’s garden story - I don’t remember hearing that before.

[@robiandolo]

I can't watch this video if the music is muted. Too bad!

[@TheaterPup]

I understand, it's annoying.

[@whyyoulittle4537]

I hate music copyright laws.

[@BeatlesFan1975]

Yea, I'm sure you would love YOUR work to be stolen... Smh

[@BeatlesFan1975]

this is literally the dummist comment on KZbin.

[@lazanlazan5658]

Dream is over life goes on...

[@acervoalborghetti]

That is George's last TV appearance

[@TheaterPup]

There was also his appearance with Ravi Shankar on VH1 in July 1997.

[@mortensenegbert6619]

(4:00) George citing "Polythene Pam" as one he liked is interesting. Never rated that one too highly - always liked "Mean Mr. Mustard" better. But I suppose it is fun as a Lennon knockoff.

[@l.1250]

He said he likes it for its “Liverpoolness” because of the humour and the Liverpool pronunciations which he emphasises by using the Liverpool pronunciation of eg girl “gurl” world (“wereld”) attractively (rolled r). I’m Liverpool-born btw.

[@mchaggis622]

And of course their “ knock offs” were better than a lot of other writers best attempts. I always enjoyed the funny wordplay in PP. Very much an in joke of a song.

[@Darrinwilliamsmedia]

Damn I remember most of these commercials like it was yesterday, I feel Old 😂

[@EdgarHess09]

[@whyyoulittle4537]

Oi! The music has been deleted! Why mate? Why????

Can anyone explain why it cuts of the starts again something that was interested in watching the volumes there one minute and go on the next. I’ve wanted to watching it.

[@sempercompellis]

wow- what a simpler world.... not the 60s...the 90s.... look at those commercials!!

[@GedTheRed]

I agree with Paul. Spector ruined let it be lp

[@TheaterPup]

I agree, I do prefer the simpler version of Long and Winding Road. It didn’t need a big choir.

[@finch45lear]

I wish they would remaster the film and extras for Blu ray.

[@robertkerr4201]

George’ s career did not stall after 1974. Cloud 9 was a huge success and produced the last number one single by an ex beetle. The Wilburys albums were also hugely successful.

[@TheaterPup]

100% correct. He also helped revive the British film industry.

[@bobbystereo936]

Every album when released went gold for George & yielded at least a top 20 hit.

[@justiceforjamespaulmccartney]

James Paul McCartney died in car crash on September 11 1966 and was replaced by William (Billy). This is the truth no matter what.

[@johnvizzi2553]

[@LuisForPeace]

I watched the commercials man

[@BeatleBabe]

OMGOMGOMG THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS!!! I taped it off tv back when it aired, never knew what the exact title was, but have NEVER succeeded in finding it online *ever*...UNTIL TODAY. 💖 Do you happen to know if there were similar specials for Anthology 1 and 2, or was it just 3?

[@BeesWaxMinder]

1:39 - Phil Spector: "hold my pint…"

[@prettyshinyspaghetti8332]

I think this was 1998. Linda died in 1998

[@TheaterPup]

Does it mention Linda's passing, I want to make sure I'm not confusing it for another clip.

[@TheaterPup]

Ohh I see, the Fox section mentions it. That recording was probably after the Anthology bit.

[@daaniphyrum]

RIP Linda

[@bonfireballads]

Paul claimed that the Beatles were the only group to outsell the Beatles, However Robson and Jerome outsold the Free as a Bird in England, and Michael Jackson outsold Free as a Bird in the US.

[@TheaterPup]

Well I guess they meant band, not duo or solo artist.

[@HARALDEMANN]

He talked about the Anthology albums, which the US in 1996 was the best selling artist.

[@billyshears988]

Yeah we know Billy, right on Que!!!!!

[@scottandrewbrass1931]

Cuckoo! Cuckoo!

[@pts5217]

I always got the impression that George only agreed to this for the money. He gave off annoyed, don’t-want-to-be-there vibes to me. His solo career stalled out around 1974 and he didn’t have near the amount of publishing royalties as Paul

[@TheaterPup]

Nothing is ever "only."

[@LennyJohnson5]

I’m a big fan of George and his honesty, but he was undoubtedly a bloody-minded curmudgeon at times, and often gave off a very negative and annoyed vibe.

[@TheaterPup]

@@LennyJohnson5 He’s my favorite Beatle and he did let you know when he wasn’t impressed. It wasn’t particular to this show. ;)

[@johnharrison9685]

@@PT. Georgie always gave off annoyed, don’t-want-to-be-here vibes. Even way back in 1969 he was always a stick in the mud throwing cold water on anything Paul proposed to the Beatles, such as playing live in 1969. Georgie was always a drag.
