The Beatles Through 1966

The Beatles looked so damn cool during this period

[@carlmoore3215]

Looks-wise, they were never quite the same once they stopped touring,

[@carlmoore3215]

9:15 I believe this photo of John was used alongside one of Johm with recent long hair, in the News Journal newspapers in Wilmington, Del., pointing out John's haircut. And we get a relatively rare look at Beatles during their time off after their last tour.

​@@cliffheywood-kk3gfdidn't he die a few times and get resurrected?

[@ustheserfs]

'66 was like a wormhole to another plane of consciousness for the band (and many others) pivotal, controversial, unchartered and the ultimate shedding of their fab four comforts. the year was a benchmark. evocatively laid out once more.

[@nigeh5326]

Yep around this time they started taking lsd and had been smoking cannabis for a while as well as taking amphetamines ever since Hamburg. Lsd changed their outlook on things and they took music to new places

[@marguskiis7711]

1966 John changed drastically during the last months of the year. Drastically.

[@BugRib]

John died and was replaced by "Fohn Fennon". This is why he seemed to undergo such a drastic change in appearance. Sadly, Fohn Fennon was later murdered by a guy who foolishly thought he was murdering John Lennon. It's like a double tragedy, because Fohn was actually a great singer and songwriter too--arguably even _better_ than John was! 😢😢

[@ansibarius4633]

@@BugRib That's why "John" started to wear glasses around that time, to hide the fact that Fohn's eye colour didn't match that of the recently deceased John.

[@biggeyc]

@@ansibarius4633Yeah and if you play Strawberry Fields Forever backwards you can actually hear Fohn say “I was the walrus the entire time”

[@UncannyValleyVideos]

I've been a fan for almost 20 years and I still can't fathom that only four years separate Please Please Me and With the Beatles from Sgt. Pepper.

[@strangebrew1231]

1966 was their last year as the original group. After this it was Sgt Pepper where they didn't really play together all that much. Then they went to India and all the drama from that. Then the white album with Ringo quitting. Then Get Back sessions where George quit. Really is remarkable they at least got it together one more time for Abbey Road

[@stormhawk3319]

A major year of transition which saw the end of Beatlemania, live touring and their mop top image towards studio artists and the recording of their greatest album Revolver.

[@josephblue4135]

I'm torn between 'Revolver' & 'Abbey Road' as their greatest album.

The Revolver period, my fave. They looked cool, sounded great with Casino guitars. It was when the Jam released Start and the Taxman bass line, Paul Weller raved about Revolver, so i went out and bought it, i loved it ever since.

[@archangelmusic13]

because of your comment i listened to the jam song start, and you're right. it's the same bass line as taxman, amazing the beatles didn't sue paul weller for using it.

1965 - 1966 is peak Beatles. John hadn't yet destroyed himself with drugs and his obsession with Yoko Ono, and was able to write masterpieces.

[@OCTOBERBABY7901]

Yoko Ono was CIA. I believe if I heard right, she's really a man. The replacement Lennon was the one who hooked up with Lennon. The OG Lennon was gone by 66'. Also if you look at 70's Linda McCartney, she has an Adams apple.

The Beatles finest year ever! I cherish the wonderful memory as an 8 year going to Bob's Records in San Fernando, California, on a beautiful early Spring afternoon, in June, 1966 with my late brother Anthony to buy the Paperback Writer/Rain Single! I played it for my parents when we got home and I knew The Beatles had progressed into another realm! I had never heard anything like it!

Paul actually meets Yoko before John at the gallery.

[@amb2745]

Yoko met up with Paul to see about getting song lyrics on scrap paper for a friend of hers John Cage. Paul said he didn't have any to give her, but suggested John might be able to help her.

[@michaelrochester48]

You could’ve mentioned that Paul initially grew his mustache to hide a small facial scar He got when he had a moped accident, which is easily viewable on the paperback writer, and rain films.

[@PaulFormentos]

"It was a fake mustache"

[@amb2745]

He also chipped his front tooth in the moped accident. You can see the chipped tooth when he's singing Paperback Writer.

[@TheultimateBradyBunch]

It seems like 1966 was the transition year for the Beatles , and really society. The Musical and culture shift of the 1960s started to come way, the early 1960s culture was fading and a new world was underway. The Woodstock generation and summer of love were all in the making. Drugs, rock n roll, and sex were becoming widespread and you can see it in just about all media at this era.

[@nigeh5326]

Funnily enough the video I watched before this was about Hitler and talked about the mania around him in mid 30s Germany. They described it as the same as Beatle mania.

wtf John's father visited John just because John got famous? That is so fucked up. The Lennons hadn’t seen each other for 17 years. The meeting was obviously not a success, lasting just 20 minutes before John ordered his father out of the office. The Beatles unintentionally snubbed the Philippines' First Lady, Imelda Marcos, on the day of their Manila concerts, leading to chaos and hostility. The Manila Times accused them of the snub, and local staff refused service. At the airport, staff and thugs harassed and assaulted them, forcing them to carry their own equipment. Despite the violence, they eventually boarded their flight. Once airborne, they expressed relief and discussed the ordeal. The incident reinforced their desire to stop touring. Shortly after their departure, President Marcos issued a statement clearing The Beatles of any wrongdoing. The lesson is the importance of clear communication and understanding. Misunderstandings can escalate quickly, as with The Beatles in Manila, highlighting the need for grace and caution. It also shows the unpredictable influence of public opinion and media narratives.

[@lonnyjaw]

I believe that 1966 was their last year at their 'peak of cool' persona. (In my humble opinion.) At the time of 9:15, I stopped watching this video when they started up with the 'new look' thing.

John said a lot more about Jesus and Christianity than just those 6 words: "We're more popular than Jesus now." He basically said - Christianity will become less and less until it vanishes. I think it was wishful thinking. He hated anything to do with worshipping Jesus. And all that talk about him being taken out of context is rubbish. He was attacking Christianity by minimizing and trivializing it. He was a typical God hating atheist. My atheist friend told me about those phony atheists who imply God is real by saying how uncaring He is. Also, those antichristians who deny Christ and yet say how bad He must be.
