It was the baseball stadium's PA.
40
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,357
We were just working off
the normal columns
41
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,837
which went,
"Ladies and gentlemen,
42
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:03,880
the next player is, uh..."
you know.
43
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,277
And our stuff was coming out of this,
so it can't have sounded too good.
44
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,397
Can you hear me?
45
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,917
Vox made us special
big amplifiers for that tour,
46
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,597
and they were
like 100 watts.
47
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,600
We went up
from the 30-watt amp to this...
48
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,080
the 100-watt amp.
49
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,197
You know, that was miked up,
I think, um,
50
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,997
to the big speakers that they had round
51
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,717
Shea Stadium, so the...
the audience weren't
52
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,637
necessarily listening to what was coming
53
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,637
from the stage. They were listening
to what was coming from the, uh,
54
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,437
the PA system, really.
55
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,997
We'd like to slow...
do a slow song now.
56
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,477
And it's also off Beatles VI,
or something.
57
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:44,997
I don't really know what it's off.
58
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,920
I haven't got it.
59
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,640
It's a waltz, this one. Remember that!
60
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,117

The next song
we'd like to sing...
103
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,277
John was having a good time.
104
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,077
He was into his comedy, which was great.
105
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,837
And he... But that was one of
the great things about John, you know.
106
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,077
If there was ever those
kind of tense shows,
107
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,037
uh, which there undoubtedly was,
you know, you... you can't play
108
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,877
in front of that many people
for the first time
109
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,437
and not be tense.
But he... his comedy would always
110
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,317
come in and he'd start
the, sort of, the faces
111
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,957
and the, sort of,
the shoulders'd start going,
112
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,837
you know.
It was very encouraging,
113
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,397
you know, 'cause, you know,
"Okay, that's good."
114
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,480
"At least we're not taking it seriously."
115
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,756
If you look at that footage,
116
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,200
and you see how we are acting
or reacting to the place...
117
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,240
it's very big,
it's very strange.
118
00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:56,920
I mean, I feel that, on that show,
119
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,877
uh, John cracked up.
I mean, he just went mad.
120
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,637
Not, not mentally ill.
I mean, just got crazy.
121
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:05,717
We did "I'm Down".
122
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,477
So, you know, 'cause I did the organ
123
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,117
on the record,
I decided to play it on stage
124
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,277
for the first time.
125
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,277
I didn't really know
what to do 'cause I felt naked
126
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,077
without a guitar,
and George couldn't play
127
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,917

00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,277
It was the biggest crowd
we ever played to.
181
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,117
It was the biggest live show,
182
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,200
I think, anybody's ever done, we're told.
183
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,397
And it was fantastic, you know.
184
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,077
That was a good experience.
185
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,477
That was the...
the first really big open-air,

00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:43,280
"Wow! Look at this!"
187
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,117
Didn't think about it like...
like that at the time.
188
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,317
I, personally, didn't realize
that it was the... the first
189
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,840
really big open-air,
you know, 55,000 people.
190
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,320
I mean, now it's a kind
of a big crowd, even...
191
00:09:57,560 --> 00:09:58,680
...56,000.
192
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,720
You know, 60,000 people.
193
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,957

00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,757
from the crowd, and it was like we were
200
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,917
just playing to ourselves,
even though you could see
201
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,277
these flashbulbs going off
202
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,480
and hear this screeching
going on the distance.
203
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,677
It was a great experience,
you know.
204
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,837

going on, you know,
206
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,037

210
00:10:56,560 --> 00:10:58,837
For us, it was just
a... a drag, you know.
211
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,397
We knew that they wouldn't
hear anything
212
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,077
because it's just, you know,
like a riot and not...
213
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,440
not sort of like a show, you know.
214
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,277
I, personally, as I say,
I don't really think
215
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,397
it was that bad.
We were now a big band
216
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,597
that when we went "whoo"
and shook our heads,
217
00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:13,920
everyone went mad.
218
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,397
It got a little boring.
I mean, it was great
219
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,157
when it first happened.
When you'd come on,
220
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:20,357
there'd just be nothing,
but "Wah!"
221
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:21,677

-♪ Help me ♪
-♪ Help me, ooh ♪
224
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,357
The realization,
you know, was really kicking in
225
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:37,800
that nobody was listening.
226
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,440
And that was okay at the beginning.
227
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,957
But, even worse than that is,
we were playing so bad.
228
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,000
We just became like lip syncing,
you know, miming.
229
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,397
And, uh, we didn't... we almost... we...
230
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,821
Sometimes, things'd break down
and nobody'd know.
231
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,520
And so it was... wasn't
doing the music any good.
232
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,677
And, you know,
why I joined The Beatles was
233
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,906
because they were
the best band in Liverpool.
234
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:06,160
Uh, and I always wanted
to play with good players.
235
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,117
That's what it was all about, you see.
236
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,637
First and foremost, we were musicians.
237
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,877
They showed no signs of flagging as far
238
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,077
as their musical creativity was concerned.
239
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,277
On the contrary, they were becoming more
240
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,957
and more productive,
and the work they were giving me
241
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,637
was much more interesting.
242
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,397
They were finding
new frontiers all the time.
243
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,157
And their success gave them
confidence to do things
244
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:38,517
which they wouldn't dare do before.

were starting to arrive

00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:54,720
on the scene that were
251
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,317
a little bit influential.
And I don't know really
252
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,677
whether we'd been influenced.
I think Dylan was...
253
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,277
was starting to influence us
quite heavily at that point.
254
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,077
When it got sort of, uh,
contemporary, as it were,
255
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,037
even if it was contemporary
influenced, I think, uh,
256
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,120
Rubber Soul
257
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,317
was about when it started happening.
258
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,397
Rubber Soul really was a matter of having
259
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,480
all experienced the recording studio,
260
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:19,357
and having grown musically as well,
261
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:20,957
but mainly having
experienced the studio
262
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,317
and knowing the possibilities.

More of the same,
but fine-tuning it.
267
00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:37,717
And I mean, we certainly knew
268
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,397
we were making a good album then.
269

279
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,597
We never wanted to get
trapped in this "the Mersey beat".

00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:06,997

No, "This Bird Has Flown".
Take 3.
284
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,877
It was just around
that period when we were all
285
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,757
getting into various different
kinds of music,
286
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,240
and George's became Indian.
287
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,037
Um, I think all of us were listening
288
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,197
to sort of classical
and various types of music,
289
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,357
other than our own
and our rock and roll
290
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,797
kind of roots. Um,
and George just sort of moved
291
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,757
into the Indian thing.
I think he'd give you
292
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,108
a better explanation of...
293
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:37,640
just sort of when it was.
294
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,357
During that year,
295
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,320
towards the end of that year anyway,
296
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,600
I kept hearing the name of Ravi Shankar.
297
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,600
I heard it about three times.
298
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,240
And about the third time I heard it,
299
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,160
it was some friend of mine,
um, who said,
300
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,957
"Oh, have you heard
this person, Ravi Shankar?"
301
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,837
So, I went out
and bought a record,
302
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,397
and, um, that was it.
I just... It felt like I...
303
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:16,877
You know, it felt very familiar
304
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,677
to me to listen to that music.
305
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:24,037
And so it was around that time
I bought a sitar.
306
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,477
I just bought like a cheap sitar in a shop
307
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,720
called India Craft in London.
308
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,037
And, uh, it was lying around,
I hadn't really figured out
309
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,397
what to do with it.
310
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,077
And when we were
working on "Norwegian Wood",
311
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,837
it just needed something, you know.
312
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,597
It just needed something.
And it was quite spontaneous,
313
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,477
from what I remember.
I just picked the sitar up
314
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,597
and kind of found the notes,
315
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,757
and I just kind of played it.
We just... We miked it up
316
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,680
and we... we put it on, and it just, like,
317
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,160

they... they were trying out
328
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:42,917
new instruments and always coming to me
329
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,477
saying, "What... what ideas
have you got for this?"
330
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:46,557
Well, we'd be saying,
331
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,637
"Well, can we have...
We'll only go 'ooh-ooh'
332
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,997

"Well, look, chaps,

334
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,317
And we'd say, "Oh, great!"
335
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:55,397
And Rubber Soul was
336
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,637
an indication of the way
things were gonna go.

I think it's a great album.

we'd grown up a little.

341
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:09,560
in a lot of our changes.

you know. So, because they were
writing different stuff,
345
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,317

We were having more fun
in the studio from Revolver,
372
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,437
Rubber Soul.
As it was building up,
373
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,077
it was getting
more experimental.
374
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,117
The songs were getting better,
more interesting.
375
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,960
So, that's where we were going.
376
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,557
Where are you?
Paul, are you there?
377
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:46,957
-Yes?
-Do you want 'em
378
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,477
to use the chords
without vibrato at all?
379
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:49,557

00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,197
Their ideas now
were beginning to become
383
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,960
much more potent in the studio,
and they would start
384
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:07,557
telling me what they wanted,
385
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,757
and they would start pressing me
for more ideas.
386
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,597
He'd come up with things like,
387
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,077
"Well, have you heard an oboe?"
"No. Which one's that?"
388
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,317
"It's this one."
"Yeah, that would be nice."
389
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,277
So, it was really... We grew together.
390
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:22,277
Quite, quite brisk,
uh, moderato foxtrot.

422
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:53,877

...when silly ideas
come into your head anyway,
426
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:03,517

00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:04,837

By then I'd started
writing myself, but, uh...
441
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,637
...it used to be just hard, you know,
442
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:03,877
to bring your songs in
443
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,200
when you had Lennon
and McCartney. And, uh...
444
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,197
And it used to be a bit of a joke, really,
445
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,621
because I would bring
these songs I'd written in,
446
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:15,957
and they'd all be rolling
on the floor laughing
447
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:21,357
because, you know, I'd rewritten
an old standard again.
448
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,317
You know, I was great at rewriting
Jerry Lee Lewis songs.
449
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,480
I didn't have too many songs.
450
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,717
I've always had a couple of ones
451
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,040
I was working on or thinking about,
452
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,477
and in the later years,
I did have a huge backlog,
453
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,040
but in the mid '60s I think,
454
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,200
you know, I didn't have too many.
455
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,077
Well, I think George
went through the same problem
456
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,520
I went through at first,
of presenting his songs. Uh...
457
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,317
But, you know,
that didn't really last long.
458
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,560
And then he started coming up
with great songs, you know.
459
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:55,917

465
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,077
where you discover
you're paying more money
466
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,437
to the taxman.
You know, you just get so happy
467
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,800
that you've finally
started earning money.
468
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,797
And then you find out
that... I mean, in those days,
469
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,120
we paid 19 shillings
and sixpence out of every pound.
470
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,637
You know, that's when there
was 20 shillings in a pound.
471
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,197
And that was with super tax,
and surtax and tax-tax,
472
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,480
and stuff, and,
you know, it was ridiculous,
473
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,677
uh, you know, a heavy penalty
to pay for making money.
474
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,037
And, you know, they said,
"Look, when you're dead,
475
00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:53,169
"you're gonna pay taxes." I remember that.
476
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:55,557
"What? You can't even, you know...?"
477
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,440
"No. Death duties." "What?"
478
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,717
And so, you know, he came up
with that great thing,
479
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,556

And it was on Revolver that,
of course, we have the track
487
00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:25,277
"Tomorrow Never Knows",
488
00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:27,799
which was a great innovation.
489
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,320
That's me in my, uh,
Tibetan Book of the Dead period.
490
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,960
And the expression
"Tomorrow Never Knows"
491
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,160
was another
of Ringo's malapropisms,
492
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,237
which was like
"Hard Day's Night", you know.
493
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,277
And so I gave it a throwaway
title because I was a bit
494
00:24:40,360 --> 00:24:42,880
self-conscious about
the heavy philosophical lyrics
495
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,517
of "Tomorrow Never Knows".
496
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,557
John had this song
which was all on the chord of C,
497
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,637
which, in our minds, was okay.
498
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,818
It was like Indian music's
all on one chord,
499
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,840
it's a perfectly good idea.
500
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,637
Um, I was wondering how George Martin
was gonna take it, 'cause it was a bit
501
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,157
of a radical departure, you know.
502
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,400
At least we'd had three chords
503
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,157
and maybe a change
for the middle eight even, you know.
504
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:05,720
Suddenly, this was just John
505
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,477
strumming on C, rather earnestly.

like there is now.
I mean, there was two guitars,
513
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,810
bass, and drums, and that was it.
514
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,237
If we did stuff
in the studio with the aid of,
515
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,280
um, recording tricks,
516
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,637
then we couldn't
just reproduce them on stage.
517
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,357

"Tomorrow Never Knows",

00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,797
have all the loops
up there on a keyboard,
519
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,440
kind of emulator stuff,
and you could have as many
520
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,197
piano players and drummers
and, you know, orchestras,
521
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,197
whatever you wanted.
But in those days, that's it.
522
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,480
We were just a little dance hall band,
523
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,640
and we never really thought
of augmenting ourselves.
524
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,717
The hard stuff was
the complicated harmonies.
525
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,037
Yeah, it was hard to do 'em
526
00:26:20,120 --> 00:26:22,640
live on stage.
Like, for instance, "Nowhere Man",
527
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,317
-or that kind of thing.
-That was good.
528
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:25,877
"Nowhere Man" was okay, wasn't it?
529
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,350
It was hard, though.
It was okay, but it was hard.

Somewhere
between albums and tours,
542
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,040
there was a day
where I had a dentist, anyway.
543
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,120
One night, John and his wife,
544
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,077
Cynthia, and Pattie and myself
545
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,087
were having dinner at this guy's house.
546
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,837
Now, this fella, for some reason or other,
547
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:41,437
had obtained lysergic acid
diethylamide-25,
548
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,000
which at that time was, uh...
549
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:50,080
It was, uh, it was not illegal.
It was a legally obtained
550
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,157
medication.
551
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,517
But we didn't really know about it.
We... I...
552
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,917
I seem to recall
that I'd heard vaguely about it,
553
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,037
but I didn't really know what it was.
554
00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:06,797
And he just put it
in our coffee, or something,
555
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,677
you know. And we went...
He was saying,
556
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,517
"I advise you not to..."
He didn't know what it was.
557
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,557
It was just a sort of,
you know, it's all the thing
558
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:14,717
with the sort of...
559
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,517
the middle-class London
swingers, or whatever,
560
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,237
had all heard about it,
and they didn't know
561
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,800
it was different
from pot or pills,
562
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,757
and they gave us it.
And he was saying,
563
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,757
"I advise you not to leave."
And we thought he was all,
564
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,357
trying to keep us
for an orgy in his house,
565
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:28,877
and we didn't want to know, you know?
566
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,240
It was... became like
a bit see... seedy to me.
567
00:28:32,360 --> 00:28:35,037
It looked like he was tryna, like,
568
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:37,437
get something happening in his house.
569
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,397
There was some reason
he didn't want us to go.
570
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,477
And then he was saying,
"Okay, leave your car here."
571
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,360
"I'll drive you, and then
you can come back later."
572
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,157
I said, "No, no, we'll go."
573
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,117
And we got in my car, and we drove.
574
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,397
And this guy came as well in his car.
575
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:51,997
We got to the nightclub...
576
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,557
You know, we were just insane.
577
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,197
We got in the lift, and we all thought
578
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,517
there was a fire in the lift,
it was just a little red light.
579
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,757
And we were all
screaming like hell,
580
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:01,397
and we were all
hot and hysterical,
581
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,757
and we all... It arrives on the floor,
'cause this was a discotheque,
582
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,077
that was up a building,
you know.
583
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,837
We get... and the lift stops
and the door opens,
584
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,397
and we're all...
585
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,077
It felt like the elevator was on fire
586
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,077
and that we were going
into hell or something.
587
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:18,197
But we were all
in hysterics and, like, crazy.
588
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,077
And then we got out at the top
and everything was okay.
589
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,677
And I suppose, you know,
590
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,797
we sat there probably for hours and hours.
591
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,597
I ended up driving everybody home.
592
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,797
It was like day... daylight,
593
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,957
and I was driving this Mini
with John, and Cynthia,
594
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,117
and Pattie in it.
And we were going, like,
595
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,880
I seemed to remember
we were doing 18 miles an hour.
596
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,200
And I was really concentrating.
597
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,517
Because some of the time
it just felt normal, like, as though
598
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,157
everything was okay, and then...
599
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,717
...before you knew where you were,
suddenly, it was all crazy.
600
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,237
But I really was... frightened
of that kind of stuff,
601
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:55,597
'cause it's... it's what you're taught
602
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,597
when you're young,
you know, "Hey, there's..."
603
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,317
"Watch out for them devil drugs."
604
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,037
When acid came round
605
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,517
we'd heard that you're never the same.
606
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:10,637
It alters your life
607
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,557
and you never think the same again.
608
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,677
And I think John was
rather excited by that prospect.
609
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,517
I was rather frightened by that prospect.

sort of stall a little bit,
I think, within the group.

it was a lot of peer pressure.

659
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:27,917
Oh? Well,
we'll play your record.

00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,237
Um, does it matter which side we play?

Uh, "We Can Work It Out".
The B-side.
662
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,797
Yeah. "We Can Work It Out".
663

00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,037

Well, the mania, you know, was,
682
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:24,597
uh, as we've talked about,
683
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,917
was pretty difficult to get around,
684
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,317
and out of convenience
we decided, you know,
685
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,997
we're just not gonna go in
and go into the TV studios
686
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,477
to promote our records so much.
It was too much of a hassle.
687
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,360
What we'll do is just go
and make our own little films,
688
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,480
and we'll put them out.
689
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,317
What was happening was that,
um, we really couldn't fit in
690
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:52,117
all the live, um, television shows
that people wanted us
691
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:53,397
to do around the world...
692
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,357
...you know,
whether it was Shindig!

696
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,797
and Germany,
Australia, you know.
697
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:07,597
So, to accommodate those people,
we decided that if we just made,
698
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,037
uh, we called 'em promo films,
you know, we...
699
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,677
we made a promo film
of the individual songs,
700
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,357
and sent that to the TV stations
round the world,
701
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,597
then that would fulfil
that obligation, you know,
702
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,397

that we didn't have to go out.
706

We felt, "This is a great idea.
We can send the movies."
707
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:37,797
"We can send the film out there."
708
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,637
I don't think we even thought
of calling them, like, "videos".
709
00:34:40,720 --> 00:34:45,077
They were just going on TV.
We felt this was a great ruse.

John Lennon and George Harrison.
715
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:08,437
-Hello, Ed, how are you?
-Hello, Ed!

-Hello, Ed!
-Ed!
717
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,597
All right? Well, I'm sorry
we can't be there in person,
718
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,437
you know, to do the show,
but everybody's busy these days
719
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,600
with the washing, and the cooking.
720
00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:20,197
And, uh, we hope you like it.
And, uh, one's called "Rain",
721
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:21,877

735
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,317
We'd send 'em to America,
also because we thought,
736

"Well, we can't go everywhere,
737
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,640
we'll send these things out

738

And, uh, obviously, like, these days

00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,157
I would take a seven
and a half rough mix home.
755
00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:24,200
I was so stoned out my mind
on marijuana...
756
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,677
that I got back to the house,
and as I usually do,
757
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:29,717
I listened to, immediately,
what I'd done that day.
758
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,157
I put it on. Somehow,
I'd got it on backwards
759
00:37:32,240 --> 00:37:34,517
and I sat there transfixed
with the earphones on,
760
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,117
with a big hash joint, just listening,
761
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,320
and the whole thing was backwards.
762
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,280

We were locked up in the hotel
for a long time...
775
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:52,317
...with various merchants
776
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,120
coming around and showing us ivory
777
00:38:55,240 --> 00:38:56,357
and stuff like this, you know,
778
00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:00,037
'cause people go to Tokyo and do shopping.
779
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,957
We couldn't really get out the hotel.
780
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:06,757
But John and I actually got out,
right, and, uh, made it down
781
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,837
to the local market, right?
And it was great, you know.
782
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,277
We were, um, looking at things
and buying things,
783
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,277
and then, uh,
the police came and got us,
784
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,920
and said,
"Naughty boys!"
785
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:20,920
We were only allowed out
786
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,917
at the time for the concert
when it was worked out
787
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,597
like a military maneuver, you know.
788
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:30,080
"At, uh, 5:30 precisely
we will knock on your door."
789
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,557
Which was on the schedule
as the exact time.
790
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,518
And then they said,
"You will now line up outside the room."
791
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,960
"At 5:32, we will leave the door."
792
00:39:39,240 --> 00:39:41,160
"We will now walk to the lift."
793
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,920
"5:33, we will be at the elevator."
794
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:45,637
The elevator takes,
like, you know,
795
00:39:45,720 --> 00:39:47,680
a minute eight to get down.
796
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,557
"5:35, we'll be down in the car park."
797
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:51,797
As we went to the gig,
798
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:56,677
they had the fans organized
with police, uh, patrols
799
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,277
on each corner. So, there weren't fans...
800
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,637
...just haphazardly
waving along the streets,
801
00:40:01,720 --> 00:40:05,677
any had been gathered up and,
you know, herded onto a corner,
802
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,317
and they were allowed
to wave from there.
803
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,757
So, you'd go along the street,
then there'd be a little, "Eee!"
804
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,600
And you'd go a few more
hundred yards and, "Eeek!"
805
00:40:14,240 --> 00:40:17,040
It was very strange.
The audience were very nice.
806
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,757
I mean, they are reserved,
but they were up on their feet,
807
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,197
or they tried to be,
but in those days,
808
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,597
you know, there was police
all around the stadium
809
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,720
with telephoto lenses,
and anybody who stood up
810
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,957
and looked like they were gonna,
um, you know,
811
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:32,277
run towards the stage
or something,
812
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,280
they took a photograph of them.
813
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,397
So, the... the people there
were very restricted
814
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,114
in what they could do
and how they could respond to us.
815
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,117
But it... it was a warm reception.
816
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:48,520
It was very nice, but, uh, a bit clinical.
817
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,277
Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you for your patience.
818
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,000
This is the long-awaited
Beatles performance,
819
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,640

to give them a big cheer.

The close harmonies on things
like, uh, "Paperback Writer"
841
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:49,197
and "Nowhere Man" were, um,
very hard to do on stage
842
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:50,397
'cause you've just empty...
843
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,757
and there was no, sort of, guitar notes
844
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:54,357
-to take it off, you know, so...
-Well, we had, um,
845
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,797
eight-track by then,
I think that was the problem.
846
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:57,997
-And so, we would...
-Yeah.
847
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,037
...had the luxury of double-tracking.
848
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:01,997
And then also we were tryna compete
849
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,717
with the Beach Boys
and Pet Sounds, and all that.
850
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,077
-I think it was around that...
-Hmm.
851
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,037
Well, when was Pet Sounds?
It was about...
852
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:09,597
It was all that...
853
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:10,677
-...they used to do.
-Yeah, so...
854
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,397
-That was very Beach Boys.
-...all our voices were really
855
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:13,477

the audience were listening.
There was no big screaming.
873
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,680
It came as a bit
of a surprise because, uh,
874

875
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,277

Yeah, I mean, this is a thing
888
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:56,117
which we never really talked about,
889
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,397
but everywhere
we were going in these days,
890
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,957
it was a demonstration
of one thing or another.
891
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:03,317
In Japan,
892
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,400
there were student riots going on.
893
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,277
Plus, people were demonstrating
because the Budokan
894
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,797
was supposed to be
a special spiritual hall
895
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,360
and only reserved for martial arts.
896
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,237
Some Japanese say
that your performances
897
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,237
will violate the Budokan,
898
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,760
which is devoted to traditional
Japanese martial arts,
899
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,797
and you set a bad example
for Japanese youth
900
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:27,397
by leading them astray
901
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,400
from traditional Japanese values.
902
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:30,797
What do you think of all that?
903
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,037
The thing is that if somebody
from Japan, if a dancing troupe
904
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,637
from Japan goes to Britain,
nobody tries to say in Britain
905
00:45:37,720 --> 00:45:40,677
that they're violating
the traditional laws, you know,
906
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,080
or that they're
trying to spoil anything.
907
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:44,437
All we're doing is coming here
908
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:46,717
and singing because we've been asked to.
909
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,157
It's better to watch singing
than wrestling, anyway.
910
00:45:49,240 --> 00:45:51,917
I don't know what martial arts
has got to do with spirituality,
911
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,517
but maybe it does.
912
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,437
But, you know, I mean,
only violence and spirituality,
913
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,117
but not pop music.
914
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,520
You know, in any town we went to
someone always had a grievance.
915
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,277
Uh, something was wrong.
916
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,197
The Philippines was almost like a mistake
917
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:10,360
-from the very beginning.
-I hated the Philippines.
918
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:11,677
And as soon as we got there
919
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:16,000
it was bad, bad news.
920
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,920
It was one of those places
where you sort of knew
921
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:20,477
they were waiting for a fight.
922
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,997
It was a negative, very negative vibe,
923
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:24,557
the moment we got off the plane,
924
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,717
so we were kind of, like,
a bit frightened.
925
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:30,117
We got in this car, not even with Neil.
926
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,517
The guy just drove off with us four,
927
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:36,120
and our bags were on the, um, the runway.
928
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:37,837
They left them on the runway,
929
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,797
and those little briefcases
had the marijuana in them,
930
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:44,160
right? So, uh... I had to, uh...
931
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,437
While... while the confusion
was going on, and all the rest,
932
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,757
I just sort of put them
in the boot of the limo
933
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:53,557
I was gonna be in, right,
934
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,317
and, uh, and just said,
935
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,437
"Take me to where
you've taken the Beatles."
936
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,280
I was thinking, "God,"
you know, "this is it."
937
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:02,880
"We're gonna get busted."
938
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:07,397
Um, and they took us away
and drove us down
939
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:09,837
to the Manila harbor
and put us on a boat,
940
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,640
took us out to this kind
of motor yacht
941
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,357
that was anchored
out in the harbor.
942
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,117
I never really understood that.
943
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,400
I never really understood why
they got put on this boat.
944
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:25,480
I just remember Brian Epstein
really flustered.
945
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:28,157
And he must have been with,
946
00:47:28,240 --> 00:47:32,877
well, maybe the, uh,
Philippine promoter or somebody,
947
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,557
agent or something,
and he was like yelling
948
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,397
and shouting,
and he appeared on the scene,
949
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:39,637
and then there was all yelling going on.
950
00:47:39,720 --> 00:47:41,597
And then they took us back
off the boat,
951
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,277
put us back in a car
and drove us to a hotel suite.
952
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,560
And then we did a concert.
953
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:48,797
The concert, again, had a big problem...
954
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:50,397
...because
955
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:51,997
Brian Epstein had made a contract
956
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:55,357
for a stadium, or... or a situation
957
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:56,437
of so many people,
958
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:58,600
I don't know how many thousand people.
959
00:47:58,720 --> 00:48:02,797
Maybe, uh, you know, two or...
two to five thousand people,
960
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,557
something like that. When we got there
961
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,677
it was like the Monterey Pop Festival.
962
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:09,517
I mean, it was just millions.
963
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,917
There was 200,000 people in that site.
964
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:16,317
And we did the show,
and I didn't know...
965
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,400
Personally, I didn't know anything about
966
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:22,757
that Madame Marcos
had invited us to dinner.
967
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,557
We don't normally get invited.
Like, usually it's silly ambassadors
968
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:27,560
who want to see us
around the place.
969
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:29,597
But, you know, so somebody just set it up,
970
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,600
and he had to go along with it
and we didn't know about it.
971
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,320
"It is indeed a great honor.
Uh, but it's our day off,
972
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:38,837
so we can't go.
And we're very firm about that
973
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:39,997
'cause we don't get many days off.
974
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,797
We're not stuffing in some sort
of royal reception, you know."
975
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:44,157
We put the TV on.
976
00:48:44,240 --> 00:48:48,200
And there was
this horrific TV show
977
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:52,640
of Madame Marcos screaming,
you know, "They've let me down!"
978
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:54,437
And, uh, all these shots
979
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:56,317
of the cameraman took the camera onto
980
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,677
like these empty plates and up
into these little kids' faces
981
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,277
all crying 'cause The Beatles
hadn't turned up.
982
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,637
And the TV commentator's saying,
983
00:49:05,720 --> 00:49:07,237
"And they're still not here yet."
984
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,397
And, you know,
"The Beatles are," you know,
985
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:14,197
"supposed to be here."
And we sat there in amazement,
986
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:16,317
couldn't believe it,
and we just watched ourselves
987
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:20,520
not arriving at the presidential palace.
988
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,957
Now, I don't recall much
989
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:29,280
of what happened after that
until the newspapers arrived.
990
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:31,437
And the TV news and everything,
991
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:34,317
it was "Beatles 'Snub' First Family".
992
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,277
So, then things started to get
really weird, uh, you know.
993
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:38,677
"Come on, get out of bed,
994
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:40,840
get packed, we're getting out of here!"
995
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:44,920
And, uh, as we started
to get to the car,
996
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:47,680
we really had no help.
997
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,385
You know, we got downstairs,
was, like, one motorbike.
998
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,200
You know, after this huge
motorcade brought us in,
999
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,320
uh, there was just this one guy.
1000
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:58,517
And we get to the airport,
and there's chanting,
1001
00:49:58,600 --> 00:49:59,837
people hating us all the way.
1002
00:49:59,920 --> 00:50:04,520
So we got there, and we got,
uh, put into the transit lounge,
1003
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:05,877
and then we got pushed around
1004
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:07,837
from, uh, one corner of the lounge
to another, you know.
1005
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:09,517
"You treat like ordinary passenger!"
1006
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:10,757
-"Ordinary passenger."
-Yeah.
1007
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,077
They were saying, kicking us.
We said, "Ordinary passenger?"
1008
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,157
"He doesn't get kicked, does he?"
1009
00:50:15,240 --> 00:50:16,557
And so,
they started knocking over
1010
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:17,717
our road managers, and things,
1011
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:19,077
and everyone's falling all over the place.
1012
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:21,117
That started worrying you,
when the road manager got knocked over?
1013
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,400
Yeah. And I swear there was 30 of 'em.
1014
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:24,517
What do you say there were?
1015
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:26,837
Well, I saw five
in sort of outfits, you know,
1016
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,437
that were sort of doing
the actual kicking and...
1017
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,597
-and booing, and shouting.
-Did you get kicked anywhere?
1018
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:32,957
No, I was very delicate
1019
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:34,437
and moved every time
they touched me.
1020
00:50:36,240 --> 00:50:38,517
And that was it. We got out of there,
1021
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:42,117
and it was such a relief.
But I felt such resentment.
1022
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:43,757
But it was really frightening.
1023
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:45,117
It's probably the most frightening.
1024
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:46,837
But I've never been back,
actually.

But the nice thing about it was
that in the end,
1034
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,277
when we found out that it was Marcos
1035
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:32,117
and what he'd been doing
to his people,
1036
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:35,200
and that it was Imelda,
and what she'd been doing,
1037
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,677
and the... and the rip-off
that the whole thing,
1038
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:41,197
apparently, allegedly, was, um,
1039
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,237
we were kinda glad
to have done it. So, great!
1040
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:44,437
We must have been the only people
1041
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:45,560
who'd dared ever, uh,
1042
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:47,117
sn... uh, snub Marcos.
1043
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:48,677
When they got
out of the country, they said,
1044
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:50,680
"Never again." you know, "This is it."
1045
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:52,997
And they said then...
they said to Brian then,
1046
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:56,237
they would not tour again.
Brian said, "Sorry, lads,
1047
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:58,397
but we've got something fixed up
for the Shea Stadium."
1048
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:00,637
"Cancel it!" "I can't cancel it."
1049
00:52:00,720 --> 00:52:02,477
"You've gotta cancel it.
We're not doing any more."
1050
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:04,397
And he said,
1051
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,157
"Well, if we cancel it,
you're gonna lose...
1052
00:52:06,240 --> 00:52:09,077
"lose a million dollars!" Whoops.
