Brian suddenly whirled in and said: 9 00:01:04,007 --> 00:01:09,001 "We are to represent Britain in this round the world hook-up. Write a song" 10 00:01:09,327 --> 00:01:14,447 Because of the mood of the time, it seemed a great idea to do that song 11 00:01:14,567 --> 00:01:19,243 Everybody else was showing people knitting in Canada 12 00:01:19,367 --> 00:01:25,363 and Irish clog dancers in Venezuela. We'll just sing All You Need is Love 13 00:01:25,487 --> 00:01:29,002 It's a kind of subtle bit of PR 14 00:01:29,127 --> 00:01:33,120 for God, basically 15 00:01:34,207 --> 00:01:37,995 I don't know if the song was written before that 16 00:01:38,127 --> 00:01:44,316 We were making an album at the time so lots of songs were in circulation 17 00:01:45,247 --> 00:01:48,045 Paul may know more about that. Over to you, Paul 18 00:01:49,367 --> 00:01:53,360 I'm not sure... it was John's song, mainly 19 00:01:55,127 --> 00:01:58,278 I don't think it was written specially for it 20 00:01:58,407 --> 00:02:03,800 but it was one of the songs we had. George Martin might have a better idea 21 00:02:06,087 --> 00:02:08,806 It was certainly tailored to it, once we had it 22 00:02:08,927 --> 00:02:11,964 But I've a feeling it was just one of John's songs 23 00:02:12,087 --> 00:02:17,445 We went down to Olympic Studios in Barnes and recorded it 24 00:02:19,447 --> 00:02:24,601 It became 'the song we should use'. I don't think it was written for it 25 00:02:25,127 --> 00:02:28,642 Yeah, they wrote it specifically for that, and we all dressed up again 26 00:02:28,767 --> 00:02:32,555 We were getting to love dressing up! 27 00:02:32,687 --> 00:02:36,521 And we had another suit but mine was so bloody heavy 28 00:02:36,647 --> 00:02:40,799 Simon and Marijke from The Fool - that was the company - 29 00:02:40,927 --> 00:02:43,999 had all this beading on - as we'll cut to right now 30 00:02:44,927 --> 00:02:47,282 It just weighed a ton 31 00:02:47,407 --> 00:02:50,205 It was a fabulous time, musically and spiritually 32 00:02:50,927 --> 00:02:56,445 We'd prepared a basic track for the recording, for the TV show 33 00:02:56,567 --> 00:02:59,639 but we were going to do a lot live 34 00:02:59,767 --> 00:03:04,795 The orchestra was live, and the singing and the audience and so on 35 00:03:05,087 --> 00:03:07,555 We knew it was to be a live television show 36 00:03:07,687 --> 00:03:12,238 There was also a camera in the control room, on us doing our bit 37 00:03:13,167 --> 00:03:16,477 About 30 seconds to go on the air, there was a phone call 38 00:03:16,607 --> 00:03:22,842 The producer of the show, saying "I've lost contact with the studio" 39 00:03:23,087 --> 00:03:27,797 "You'll have to relay instructions to them as we'll be on air any moment now" 40 00:03:27,927 --> 00:03:30,919 And I thought if you're going to make a fool of yourself... 41 00:03:31,047 --> 00:03:33,481 do it in front of 200 million people! 42 00:03:36,047 --> 00:03:40,359 The man upstairs pointed his finger and we did it, one take 43 00:03:45,567 --> 00:03:50,516 Our World Global Satellite Broadcast 25th June 1967 44 00:06:56,527 --> 00:06:59,325 I still believe all you need is love 45 00:06:59,447 --> 00:07:03,406 but I don't believe that just saying it is going to do it 46 00:07:03,527 --> 00:07:06,678 I still believe that love is what we all need 47 00:07:08,967 --> 00:07:10,525 And it was for love 48 00:07:10,647 --> 00:07:14,435 It was for love and bloody peace again. It was a fabulous time 49 00:07:15,127 --> 00:07:20,918 Even now, I'm still excited when I realise that's what it was for 50 00:07:21,047 --> 00:07:24,835 People putting flowers in guns, San Francisco was just exploding 51 00:07:24,967 --> 00:07:28,516 Here was fabulous California, where we are, L.A. 52 00:07:29,767 --> 00:07:34,397 It was just exciting times. And all for this loving feeling 53 00:07:34,767 --> 00:07:38,555 And music. The whole rest of it was just music 54 00:07:38,687 --> 00:07:44,319 There were psychedelic posters coming in from San Francisco. Great! 55 00:07:44,567 --> 00:07:49,925 The summer of love's a little bit too easy, but some sort of golden summer 56 00:07:51,167 --> 00:07:56,560 Everywhere we went, people were smiling 57 00:07:56,687 --> 00:07:59,884 and sitting on lawns, drinking tea 58 00:08:00,007 --> 00:08:03,238 Festivals of music and stuff 59 00:08:03,367 --> 00:08:08,521 That summer of love, a lot was bullshit, just what the press were saying 60 00:08:08,647 --> 00:08:11,639 But there was definitely a vibe 61 00:08:12,327 --> 00:08:17,321 In America, we could feel what's going on, even though we were miles away 62 00:08:17,447 --> 00:08:20,245 You could just pick up the vibes 63 00:08:20,967 --> 00:08:23,197 I was all for going there and living on the Haight 64 00:08:23,327 --> 00:08:26,717 In my head I thought acid is it, this is the answer, let's go 65 00:08:26,847 --> 00:08:30,886 I'll go there and make music, but of course it didn't come true 66 00:08:31,247 --> 00:08:33,442 In the end George went over 67 00:08:33,647 --> 00:08:38,960 I went to Haight Ashbury expecting it to be this brilliant place 68 00:08:39,247 --> 00:08:44,401 and it was full of horrible spotty drop-out kids on drugs 69 00:09:11,567 --> 00:09:15,765 It certainly showed me what was really happening in the drug cult 70 00:09:15,887 --> 00:09:19,084 It wasn't what I thought - of all these groovy people 71 00:09:19,207 --> 00:09:22,882 having spiritual awakenings and being artistic 72 00:09:23,007 --> 00:09:27,523 It was just like the Bowery, it was like alcoholism 73 00:09:27,647 --> 00:09:30,957 It was like any addiction 74 00:09:31,767 --> 00:09:36,636 So at that point I stopped taking it 75 00:09:36,767 --> 00:09:39,884 the dreaded lysergic 76 00:09:42,767 --> 00:09:48,478 I had some in a little bottle, it was liquid 77 00:09:48,607 --> 00:09:53,601 I put it under a microscope and it looked like old rope 78 00:09:54,247 --> 00:09:58,559 I thought, I'm not going to put that in my brain any more 79 00:09:59,047 --> 00:10:03,916 I was influenced by acid and got psychedelic like the whole generation 80 00:10:04,047 --> 00:10:06,845 but really I like rock'n'roll 81 00:10:07,127 --> 00:10:09,641 It was one of those things that happened as life went on 82 00:10:10,527 --> 00:10:16,318 We'd been into drugs and the next step is to try to find a meaning 83 00:10:16,727 --> 00:10:21,278 That's where I really went for the meditation 84 00:10:21,567 --> 00:10:24,639 There's this thing called a mantra 85 00:10:24,767 --> 00:10:27,235 And a mantra is... 86 00:10:27,767 --> 00:10:34,002 Through the mantra, you can follow a technique that helps you to transcend 87 00:10:34,127 --> 00:10:37,597 To go beyond the waking, sleeping, dreaming state 88 00:10:37,727 --> 00:10:43,006 So OK, I need a mantra - where do you go? 89 00:10:43,127 --> 00:10:46,358 You can't go to Harrods and get a mantra 90 00:10:46,487 --> 00:10:52,357 Then I met David Wynne, who showed me a picture and said he's coming to lecture 91 00:10:53,167 --> 00:10:57,206 He's called Maharishi. So I got some tickets 92 00:10:57,327 --> 00:11:00,444 Then I thought, I'll get some in case the others want to go 93 00:11:00,767 --> 00:11:04,806 Oh yeah! So we went along and I thought he made a lot of sense 94 00:11:04,927 --> 00:11:09,318 He basically said that with a simple system of meditation 95 00:11:09,447 --> 00:11:12,325 20 minutes, morning and evening 96 00:11:12,447 --> 00:11:16,326 no big crazy thing, you can improve the quality of your life 97 00:11:16,447 --> 00:11:20,326 and find some sort of meaning in doing so 98 00:11:20,567 --> 00:11:27,166 After the lecture-because the Beatles could get in anywhere - 99 00:11:27,287 --> 00:11:32,884 so we got backstage, met Maharishi 100 00:11:33,967 --> 00:11:38,802 I said to him "Got any mantras? Give us a mantra!" 101 00:11:38,927 --> 00:11:43,603 He said "We're in Bangor tomorrow, you should come and get initiated" 102 00:11:44,127 --> 00:11:48,723 At that time Maureen was in hospital having Jason 103 00:11:49,487 --> 00:11:52,399 I was visiting 104 00:11:53,047 --> 00:11:56,926 I came home and put on the answerphone 105 00:11:57,047 --> 00:12:00,562 Even in those days we had answerphones 106 00:12:01,247 --> 00:12:06,480 A message from John: "We've seen this guy and we're all going to Wales" 107 00:12:06,927 --> 00:12:12,047 And from George: "Wow man, we've seen this guy, Maharishi. He's great!" 108 00:12:12,167 --> 00:12:16,206 We're all going to Wales on Saturday. You've got to come 109 00:12:17,127 --> 00:12:20,676 The Beatles seem to be among your supporters. How do you feel about that? 110 00:12:20,807 --> 00:12:24,686 Maharishi Mahesh Yogi I feel a great fondness for the younger generation 111 00:12:24,847 --> 00:12:28,556 If the Beatles take up this transcendental meditation 112 00:12:28,687 --> 00:12:33,044 they are the ideal of energy and intelligence in the younger generation 113 00:12:33,167 --> 00:12:39,163 That will bring youth to a very good level of understanding and intelligence 114 00:12:39,527 --> 00:12:43,361 I am very happy that they heard my lecture last evening 115 00:12:43,487 --> 00:12:49,084 We talked after the lecture. They seem to be very intelligent and alert 116 00:12:49,327 --> 00:12:54,162 We'd rung our mates: "He's great this guy, you ought to come and see him" 117 00:12:54,287 --> 00:12:59,805 It was like a good book you'd read. "Hey, try it, I'll send you a copy" 118 00:12:59,927 --> 00:13:03,442 That kind of thing. "Come, he'll be there, come with us" 119 00:13:03,607 --> 00:13:07,236 We got up there and there was a crowd to meet us 120 00:13:07,407 --> 00:13:11,241 We all wandered through in our psychedelic gear 121 00:13:11,367 --> 00:13:14,200 25th August 1967 It was like a summer camp 122 00:13:14,367 --> 00:13:19,236 You sit around and he tells you how to do it 123 00:13:19,407 --> 00:13:22,399 You go to your room and try to do it, and of course you can't 124 00:13:22,527 --> 00:13:25,883 You sit there and you've got a mantra to meditate on 125 00:13:26,007 --> 00:13:31,843 You think, bloody hell, that train journey was a bit much-sorry, mantra 126 00:13:33,127 --> 00:13:37,678 Bloody hell, I wonder what our next record's going to be... oh stop, stop! 127 00:13:37,807 --> 00:13:41,595 You spend all your first few days just trying to stop your mind... 128 00:13:41,727 --> 00:13:44,844 dealing with your social calendar, whatever's coming up 129 00:13:44,967 --> 00:13:49,643 God, he's a funny bloke, that Mah... oop, no, but it was good 130 00:13:50,007 --> 00:13:54,398 I was really impressed with the Maharishi. He was always laughing 131 00:13:54,887 --> 00:13:59,085 So we listened to his lectures and we started meditating 132 00:13:59,247 --> 00:14:01,966 We were given our mantras 133 00:14:04,007 --> 00:14:09,445 It was another point of view. We were getting into Eastern philosophies now 134 00:14:09,647 --> 00:14:15,756 You just sit and let your mind go. It doesn't matter what you think about 135 00:14:15,887 --> 00:14:21,325 Then you introduce the mantra, the vibration, to take over from a thought 136 00:14:21,447 --> 00:14:24,280 You don't will it, or use your will-power 137 00:14:28,647 --> 00:14:32,117 I seem to recall it was a phone call 138 00:14:33,647 --> 00:14:40,598 Somebody came to us at Bangor and said... 139 00:14:40,767 --> 00:14:46,558 ...that he'd died. We were off finding the meaning of life, and he was dead 140 00:14:47,247 --> 00:14:52,480 Neil Aspinall Tour Manager I heard it on the car radio that he'd died 141 00:14:52,887 --> 00:14:56,960 The local shopkeeper said "Sorry about the news" 142 00:14:57,087 --> 00:14:59,203 "What news?" He said "Your friend's died" 143 00:14:59,647 --> 00:15:01,444 Our friend has gone 144 00:15:06,807 --> 00:15:11,562 I don't know what to say, we've only just heard 145 00:15:11,687 --> 00:15:15,362 27th August 1967 He was a beautiful fellow and it's terrible 146 00:15:15,487 --> 00:15:17,205 What are your plans now? 147 00:15:17,327 --> 00:15:22,355 We haven't made any, we've only just heard 148 00:15:22,847 --> 00:15:25,122 It's as much news to us as it is to everybody else 149 00:15:25,727 --> 00:15:28,719 I spoke to him Wednesday evening 150 00:15:28,847 --> 00:15:32,442 The evening before we first saw Maharishi's lecture 151 00:15:32,567 --> 00:15:35,161 He was in great spirits 152 00:15:35,407 --> 00:15:40,322 I understand that this afternoon Maharishi conferred with you all 153 00:15:40,447 --> 00:15:43,883 Could I ask what advice he offered you? 154 00:15:44,007 --> 00:15:49,035 He told us not to get overwhelmed by grief 155 00:15:49,167 --> 00:15:52,125 and whatever thoughts we have of Brian, to keep them happy 156 00:15:52,247 --> 00:15:56,445 because any thoughts we have of him will travel to him, wherever he is 157 00:15:57,007 --> 00:16:00,761 We were all gutted, you know.
