Ringo is 22 years old. John is 21 years old. Paul is 20 years old and George is 19 years old. First full filmed live performance. The Cavern Club 22nd August 1962 Love Me Do is their first recorded song. Abbey Road London 4th Sept 62 Tomorrow Never Knows is their first psychedelic song recording completed 22nd April 66 Last U.K stadium performance Empire Pool, Wembley, London 1st May 66 Last stadium concert Candlestick Park San Francisco 29 August 66 Last live performance and Get Back is the last song performed Saville Row London 30 January 69 The End, is their final song recorded and completed 20 August 69 Last official photo and film session Tittenhurst Park, Ascot 22nd August 1969 Ringo is 29 years old.

[@powerpopaholic876]

@Pharoset Well it certainly interesting how much more sophisticated and appealing & spacious and open Love Me do is ...and catchy, than ' some other guy' for example. ​(Although I love that tune) In a short 4 years later they're playing in front of like a zillion people at candlestick park. In a short 4 years later they're stopping touring altogether! That's a pretty short amount of time for most bands to go from the cavern club to a huge stadium to stop touring. Put it all makes sense, they covered a lot of ground, they were ready to stop etcetera it all makes sense but it's pretty phenomenal compared to most bands. The part about recording final song 5 years after candlestick, well, whatever. That of course makes a ton of sense

That's crazy to think about

[@dinosaurdino]

It’s weird watching them play, in their prime, without the crazy fanatics from the crowd!

[@FleagleSangria]

It is odd to us now, but this isn’t really their prime. That would come a couple of years later as far as the hysteria. At this point they were pretty much a local and few surrounding areas band doing covers. No one besides Epstein saw much of anything incredibly special at this point. Later on John, Paul and George stated at various times that the best they ever were as far as an actual live band were those early Hamburg Germany days in which they played in rough clubs for way too many hours and very little pay. Thats where they learned their chops and became musicians. Would really be cool to see footage of that. I doubt very many at this concert had any clue the Beatles would completely explode and become the greatest songwriting rock band of all time. We can say “John, Paul, George and Ringo” and 90% of the people on the planet will still know who you are talking about 62 yrs after this film footage was taken. But in ‘62 you could say those names and only a very small number would even know who the Beatles were but they probably couldnt even name the members and certainly not their full names. Pretty crazy to think of the Beatles as “just another band trying to make it” but that is what they were at this time pretty much.

But yeah that will be cool in future ‘62 for a fifty-something person to say “I saw a live ex-Beatle playing live music in his fkn eighties”!! That is just crazy! Soon everyone who was alive during the time of the group will be gone! I felt what it meant to have lived it when in 1995 I was food shopping in a health-food store in Paia, Maui when suddenly before me was George Harrison!! It was a shocking, bewildering and overwhelming moment for me. The Beatles “spell” was still inside me, as me and it suddenly came to my surface like a bolt of lightning, having George there shockingly five feet in front of me! John was right about them being bigger than Jesus, there before me was A BEATLE GOD and I could not function normally! I NEVER have experienced a Jesus.

Yep. They knew he was their match from the first moment Ringo sat behind them to sub for Pete. They all said that they felt the rush when he was back there that they didn't get from Pete. Pretty much every band who has invited him to record a track with them has claimed to have felt this extra gear, so it was never just the Beatles. They weren't the only band trying to get him or keep him at the time. I've studied him trying to bring some of that x-factor into my drumming but it is very hard to quantify.

This was after they'd already done hundreds of shows for two full years in Hamburg, Germany, from '60 - '62. By the time they returned to the UK, here, in '62, they were an extremely seasoned band - although Ringo had just joined them, a few days before, here, which shows just how great Ringo was in fitting in so quickly. But yeah, by the time this film was taken in '62, they had spent 2 years playing hours-long shows on amphetamines, sleeping with hookers and becoming the tightest band in the world. The whole "polite boys in sweaters and ties" thing at the Cavern, here, was extremely calculated, as they were leather-wearing, drug-taking scouses for 2 years before this. The Beatles that were introduced to the UK and the U.S. was specifially designed for mass appeal; they were hard-rocking, drug-taking nuts in reality.

So strange seeing them this young in August of 1962: George 19, Paul 20, John 21, Ringo 22.

[@radar0412]

The Classic Rock style of music is no longer among the predominant styles of music today. But all the Instruments are in wide use and still relevant. Which leads me to believe that maybe one day another Beatles type quality band will pop up and turn the whole music World upside down again. Most likely not in my lifetime though.

[@clarkbilly5670]

It was highly unusual in a rock band at this time to have two lead singers on the same song…it just wasn’t done…unless you are The Beatles…

The music of today sounds more like the Beatles than the music from 5 years before the Beatles. That's why they are the greatest and most important band of all time.

Fun to see how Paul has changed how he holds his Höfner during the years. The bass started out on his chest and has ended up on his hip 😁

[@skooshy621]

And I heard on the radio news this morning that this Hofner, that went 'missing' in around 1972(?), has been tracked and returned to Paul, now aged 81 and still playing from his heart and soul. I found myself crying with joy at this news! I was born in 1962, and am just about to turn 62. I was hearing The Beatles' singles and LPs in my cot!

[@IamMagPie]

@@skooshy621 Agree - I woke up to that news as well, and I'm very happy for Paul. I hope to see a video of him playing it and telling the whole story.

[@Lar308]

One of my earliest musical memories (born in 1959) was hearing my mom listening to the radio late at night and this amazing band was singing - which I later came to know as the beatles. It was the first time any musical entertainer had pleased me to the degree that I thought wow aren't they great.

He didn't do double duty for the 2 bands. He was in The Hurricanes until he joined the Beatles. He sat in for the Beatles in Hamburg on a few occasions but he probably sat in for other bands they shared the bill with too.

Its absolutely fascinating to see the fans of the Beatles in the crowd. We have alot of footage of the Beatles but rare of the fans.

Lennon pointed out at one time that the intro of Some Other Guy was like the one in Instant Karma. At this point I believe all their songs were covers.
