Without a doubt they were the BEST.Just raw talent and back then we had no idea their music would last .this long.There is still no band that compares to the Beatles.

What they did was not human. They wrote their songs, recorded them, helped in their production, toured around the world playing nearly every night then having to travel (often from 1 country to the next to play the next gig that night), did media, made movies and tried to actually have some time off for themselves which was a rarity. It's mind blowing the sheer genius of these guys. Will never be repeated.

I am much younger but my dad played their music frequently. I loved their songs so much I begged for a guitar and they gave me one. I learned all their songs and studied music. This led me to research how this all happened and then I found out how their impact changed society and helped re-erect classical music. They revealed that there was still a huge amount of tonal music 'on tap' ready to be exploited. This is now our mainstream of music, with dozens of genres all because of what The Beatles gave us.

In fact, the Beatles and their Abbey Road Studio were pioneers at the forefront of it during their time! It may interest you to know that the first guitar effects pedal, a.k.a. sound trick, was invented in 1948, long before the Beatles even existed.

yes, but don't stop there. Play each record from meet the beatles until abbey road and figure out which songs you like the best.

[@jamesferragut4767]

The Beatles changed my life forever when I saw them, as a 13-year old kid on The Ed Sullivan Show, Feb. 9th, 1964. They were, are simply the best. They weren't ahead of the change in rock & role, they were the change. I love your enthusiasm and that you allow the video(s) you and watch/listen to until the end, before you react & comment. Thanks Sarah.

[@barbrice721]

I remember that show. Ed Sullivan turning saying "The Beatles". Like " Yesterday." Also one of their best.

[@u4riahsc]

The Ed Sullivan Show always had the bands on for the last act. You had to sit through all the other acts first.

[@brucearcher9437]

Just two weeks to the day..after my 14th birthday haha..best group ever

[@ttiger9780]

Same for me (I'm 72). It was a great time to be a teen. We knew they were good and different from the start, but I never imagined that they would become the best of all time.

[@BlueSky-sf4rj]

I was in high school then, The next day, Monday, our teachers could not teach because we could not stop talking about the Beatles.

[@erichorrobin431]

I can see they are touching your soul. 😊 Your smile is delightful and your joy beams out of you. 😊

Lucky you. To hear the Beatles for the first time. Better late than never!

[@ratmaster41]

You will get these feelings every time you hear them. I do even after 60 years. Its always fun to see a new fan created

[@toniformica9326]

I just loved the young woman's reaction listening to the Beatles. Watching the joy on her face brought me right back to my 14 year old self and the first time I heard these songs. Thanks for reminding me how joyous and free and hopeful the music was.

[@samjordan3766]

I am 64 years old, and my first memory in this life is hearing the Beatles. I'm sure I had the same smile on my face as you did. I still have that smile when I hear them!

[@cdbee3486]

I attended The Beatles final live concert at Candlestick Park in San Francisco August 29,1966. the Public was unaware that this would be the last stop on the last tour. I had turned 22 a few days earlier and as much as I loved this group ,I wasn't a crazed "teenybopper" and wouldn't scream. Lo and behold I found myself standing on my seat, waving my arms and screaming at the top of my lungs along with my boyfriend and everyone else in the crowd! Ha!

Maybe there was something in the soft drinks?? 🙂 Lucky you! An experience to treasure.

[@gregpaspatis9425]

My late Aunt was only a couple of months younger than you are, she saw the Beatles with a high school friend of hers exactly two weeks before that (unknowingly) last San Francisco show was performed at the big league multi-use D.C. Stadium in Washington, D.C., it hadn't been her only Beatle concert as she had also been to see their only Baltimore tour stop two years before. An interesting connection of the Beatles and the two towns, D.C. and San Francisco, in the late 1960s there was a baseball pitcher that played in Candlestick Park for the Giants named Mike McCormick, although before the 1967 season began he belonged to the Washington Senators team the previous year while the Beatles were finishing out the concert tour. His Senators team (also alternately called the Nats in shorthand form) were playing a game in Cleveland on the night of the Wash., D.C. Beatles show, but before the team left town late Sunday a day earlier for the road game in Cleveland, McCormick asked the team's clubhouse manager (the person that keeps all the players uniforms and equipment cleaned and organized), who was a guy by the name of Fred Baxter, if he would get him a baseball that he could have all the Beatles autograph for him. So Baxter had all the Beatles sign two baseballs, one for him and the other for McCormick. Around 2006 the now late Mr. McCormick had his Beatles signed baseball auctioned off for a very large sum!

Sarah the Beatles were pure magic start to finish, but I must admit I love their early stuff. I was 13 when they hit the American scene and remember it all so well. I still have the vinyl. I was fortunate to see Sir Paul at Citi Field some years ago. Thank you for bringing back such memories.

[@kathyp.9507]

It is just wonderful seeing the younger generation loving The Beatles. Your reactions almost made me cry. I too was one of those Beatlemaniacs and still am. First time seeing The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show when I was a kid changed my whole life about music. I liked music, but The Beatles made me looooove music. So, I had to see them in person!!! I saw them TWICE at two of their concerts when they came to Chicago. One concert was at The Chicago Amphitheater and one at Comiskey Park. I had the BEST time of my life, wouldn't have missed it for the world!!!! Kept buying all of their albums and saw both of their movies ''Help'' and ''A Hard Day's Night'', AWESOME!!!! Four young lads that shook the world, The Beatles will never, ever be surpassed and of course THE BEST band on the planet.🌎 Just to let you know the scenes you were watching from the movie ''A Hard Day's Night'' Phil Collins from Genesis was in the audience as a kid himself. So, 🌟LONG LIVE THE BEATLES🌟 Peace and Love☮✌❤

I was lucky enough to live through this growing up in the 1960s . Their music is ageless .

As someone who was 16 when the Beatles first exploded upon America, it was fascinating to watch your reaction to seeing them for the first time all these years later. The Beatles and their music seem to transcend time and place. To say it holds up very well is an understatement. So interesting!

I was a first-year university student when the Beatles' music started being played on the radio. In fact, I first heard them in my dorm room, and after that I bought each of their albums as they appeared. Still love them after more than 60 years.

How can this lady have reached adulthood without hearing these songs before? Greatest band ever! So glad she's obviously enjoying them though. I was one of those screaming teenagers 😄

[@tonydalton459]

Indeed. Always amazes me how people have not heard the Beatles. How is that possible ? I know she’s young, but still ! I was born at the height of Beatlemania, they broke up before I was five. They will always be the greatest band ever for me.

This music is over 60 years old. When you were a teenager or in your 20s, did you know music that was 60 years old? I don’t think so. She might have heard some Beatles songs in the past and soundtracks and stuff like that, but never heard all of these types of tunes. Unless you were tune to an oldies station, you’re not gonna hear the Beatles on the radio.

I saw them in concert, August 27, 1964 at Cincinnati Gardens. Jackie De Shannon and The Righteous Brothers opened for them. I was constant screaming. You could hardly hear beyond the first few notes of a song, when the audience recognized it. They were such an influence in my life.

[@CB-xr1eg]

And that's why they stopped touring in 1966. They just couldn't hear themselves and it affected their playing.

[@kitspics526]

Saw them in Cleveland the same tour. I was 14. I was screaming too, but didn’t rush the stage for fear I’d be trampled. Most influential happening in my life. They changed the world. We need them again badly.

Those were times when these four funny looking guys broke through the musical doldrums like a comet, bringing new ideas and new sounds and inspiriing those of us fortunate enough to have been teenagers at just the right time.
