you know, but I don't believe that, uh,

just saying it
is gonna do it, you know.
9
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,000
I mean, I… I still believe in the fact
that love is what we all need.
10
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:48,757
You know, I even get excited now
when I realize that's what it was for.
11
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,317
People putting flowers in guns.
12
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,520
San Francisco was just exploding.
13
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,520
Here was fabulous,
California, where we are, L.A.
14
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,717
Uh, it was just exciting times,
15
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,120

The "love generation",
or whatever you want to call it,
19
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,157
they had this kind of thing
about how everybody
20
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:20,880
was gonna change the world.
21
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,080
Everybody was on such a buzz.
22
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,597
You know, I don't mean just the Beatles,
but the whole kind of planet was...
23
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,837
Um… At least San Francisco,
24
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,080
L.A. and London… …was.
25
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,277
It always seemed to be sunny.
You wore these far-out clothes
26
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,117
and these far-out little sunglasses.
27
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,757
And, um, music.
28
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,477
The whole rest of it was just music.
29
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,120
And there were posters coming in
from San Francisco.
30
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,920
All these psychedelic posters
were great you…
31
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:49,757
Yeah, so, I mean, I...
32
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,877
Summer of Love's
a little bit too sort of easy,
33
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,814
but, yeah, some sort of golden summer.
34
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,157
I mean, everywhere we went,
people were…
35
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:03,240
Um, smiling and, you know,
sitting on lawns drinking tea,
36
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,920
you know, festivals of music, and stuff.
37
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,717
I mean, you know, that Summer of Love,
a lot of that was bullshit, really.
38
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,477
It was all what the press was saying.
39
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,200
But there was definitely a vibe.
40
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,757
You know, in America,
we could feel what was going on there,
41
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,557
even though we were miles away,
42
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:25,120
you could just pick up the vibes,
you know, man.
43
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,480
♪ Signs in the street ♪
44
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,280
♪ That say where you're going ♪
45
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:40,960
♪ Are somewhere just being their own ♪
46
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,280
♪ Nowhere is ♪
47
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,877
♪ There warmth to be found… ♪
48
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,357
I was all for going there
and living on the Haight, you know?
49
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,597
I mean, in my head, I thought,
"Well, hell, acid's it,
50
00:02:58,680 --> 00:02:59,837
and this is the answer. Let's go!
51
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:02,277
I'll go there, you know,
and make music and all that."
52
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,116
But, of course, it didn't come true.
53
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,957
In the end, George went over.
54
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,637
I went to Haight-Ashbury
55
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,117
expecting it to be this brilliant place
56
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,680
and it was just full
of dropout kids on drugs.
57
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,637
It certainly showed me
what was really happening
58
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,997
in the drug cult.
It wasn't what I thought
59
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,877
of all these groovy people
getting... having, uh,
60
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,877
spiritual awakenings and being artistic.
61
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,677
It was just… it was like the Bowery.
62
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,437
It was like alcoholism.
63
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,277
It was like any, uh, addiction.
64
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,277
So…
…at that point, I'm… I'm…
65
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,760
I stopped taking it, actually,
the dreaded lysergic.
66
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,040
Um…
67
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,840
I had some in a… in a, uh…
68
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,397
In a little bottle,
and I put it... it was liquid,
69
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,680
I put it on a microscope,
and I looked at it,
70
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,600
and it looked like rope…
71
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,317
…just like old rope,
and I thought, "Well, I…
72
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,437
I'm not gonna put that
in my brain anymore."
73
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,037
I was influenced by acid
and got psychedelic, you know,
74
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,920
like the whole generation.
75
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,920
But really,
I like rock and roll, you know.
76
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,797
Just one of those things
that happened, you know, as life went on.
77
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,837
We'd been into
drugs, and we were...
78
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,357
the next step then is,
79
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,733
then you've got to try
and find a meaning, then.
80
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,917
That's where
I really went for the,
81
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000
um, meditation.
82
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,077
And there's this thing called a "mantra".
83
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,480
And the mantra is…
84
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,437
Uh, through the mantra, you…
you can follow a technique
85
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,080
that helps you to transcend,
86
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,397
that is, to go beyond the waking,
87
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:40,800
sleeping, dreaming state.
88
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,400
So, I got myself to the point
where, okay, I need a mantra.
89
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,477
Uh, you know, where do you go?
90
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,077
You don't go to Harrods and get a mantra.
91
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,997
But then I met David Wynne,
who said... showed me this picture,
92
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,480
and he said, "Oh, he's coming
to do a lecture at the Hilton.
93
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,597
He's called Maharishi."
So, I said, "Okay, I'll go."
94
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,397
I got some tickets, and then I thought,
"Well, I'll get some
95
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,040
in case the others wanna go."
96
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,560
"Oh, yeah! All right."
So, we went along.
97
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,757
And I thought he made
a lot of sense, you know.
98
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:11,757
I think we all did,
because he basically said
99
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:14,717
that with a simple system of meditation,
20 minutes in the morning,
100
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,385
20 minutes in the evening,
no big sort of crazy thing,
101
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,437
you can improve the quality
of life and, sort of,
102
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,720
find some sort of meaning in doing so.
103
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,317
And after the lecture, we went,
because, you know,
104
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,637
that was one of the privileges
of the Beatles,
105
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,597
where you could get in anywhere,
so we got backstage,
106
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,760
met Maharishi, and, um…
107
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,477
You know, I said to him, uh…
108
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,197
"Got any mantras?"
"Give us a mantra."
109
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:44,917
And he said, "Well,
we're going to Bangor tomorrow.
110
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,160
You should come and get initiated."
111
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:48,477
I'm very happy about it,
112
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,080
that they heard my lecture last evening,
113
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:53,320
and they talked to me for about an hour
114
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:54,477
after the lecture.
115
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,997
They seem to be
very intelligent and alert.
116
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,277
We'd sort of rung our mates,
117
00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:59,717
"Hey, we're going up to…
He's great, this guy.
118
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:00,877
Oh, you ought to come and see him."
119
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,077
It's like a good book
you'd read. You'd try...
120
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,837
"Hey, have you… you ought to get it.
I'll get… I'll send you a copy!"
121
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,760
We were kinda like messengers.
We were like the advanced party.
122
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,997
We were like Christopher Columbus,
123
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,400
and we had to go out
and do some discovering,
124
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,797
and then pass on the information
125
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,157
to the ones in the next carriage behind,
126
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:24,400
like Mick Jagger.
127
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,517
It was like a school, you know,
that they've taken over,
128
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,077
and then you sit around
and he tells you how to do it,
129
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,877
and you go up to your room and try
and do it, and of course, you can't.
130
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,680
♪ We were talking… ♪
131
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:37,077
For the first half hour, you know,
you're sitting there
132
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,877
and you've got a mantra
to meditate on,
133
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,597
and you're… and you're thinking, going,
"Oh, that was good. Bloody hell,
134
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,997
that train journey was a bit much,
wasn't it? Oh, sorry, mantra."
135
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,077
"Bloody hell, I wonder
what our next record's gonna be.
136
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,477
Well, you know, I've been trying...
Oh, no, stop, stop, stop."
137
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,477
And you spend all your first few days
138
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,200
just trying to stop your mind
139
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:55,997
dealing with your social calendar,
140
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,592
you know, whatever's coming up,
141
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,924
"God, he's a funny bloke, that Mah...
ooh, no."
142
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,357
Um… But it was good.
143
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,397
I was really impressed
with the Maharishi.
144
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,077
And I was impressed
because he was laughing all the time.
145
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,357
So, we listened to his lectures
and we started meditating
146
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,520
and we were given our mantras.
147
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,677
Um… Yeah, it was another point of view.
148
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,437
It was the first time we were getting
149
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,880
into sort of Eastern philosophies now.
150
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,037
You know, you just sort of sit there
151
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,077
and you let your mind go
wherever it's going,
152
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,717
doesn't matter what you're thinking about.
Just let it go.
153
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,680
And then you just introduce the…
the mantra or the… the vibration,
154
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,317
just to take over from a thought.
155
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,520
You don't will it or use your willpower.

it was a phone call.
159
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,287
I don't know who took it.
Um, I think it might have been John
160
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,400
who took the call.
161
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,957
Well, I don't know what to say, you know.
162
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,877
We've only just heard,
and it's hard to think of things to say.
163
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,480
But he was just
a beautiful fellow, you know.
164
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,363
-And it's terrible.
-What are your plans now?
165
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:09,917
Well, we haven't made any, you know.
166
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,197
I mean, it's only just…
167
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:12,517
-We've only just heard, haven't we?
-Yes.
168
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,637
That was kinda stunning,
'cause we were off on this,
169
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,160
sort of, "finding the meaning of life",
and there he was, dead.
170
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,200
Our friend has gone!
171
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,400
You know, uh, more our friend
172
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,077
than anything else.
You know, Brian was a friend of ours.
173
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,557
I heard it… I heard it
on the radio, actually,
174
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,440
on the car radio, that he'd died.
175
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,400
The local shopkeeper said,
"I'm sorry about the news."
176
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,237
I said, "What news?"
He said, "Your friend's died."
177
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,757
I spoke to him, uh, Wednesday evening,
178
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,037
the… the evening before we first, uh, uh,
179
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,840
saw Maharishi's lecture,
and he was in great spirits.
180
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,120
I understand that, um,
this afternoon, uh, Maharishi,
181
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:52,840
uh, conferred with you all.
182
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,677
Could I ask you what he…
what advice he offered you?
183
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,800
He told us... uh,
184
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,557
not to get overwhelmed by grief and to…
185
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,400
Whatever thoughts we have of Brian,
to keep them happy,
186
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:06,277
because any thoughts we have of...
187
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,960
have of him will travel to him,
wherever he is.
188
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:10,757
We were all gutted, you know.
189
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,437
It was, um, it was…
it was a huge shock, of course,
190
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:14,983
'cause he was like one of our…
191
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,797
One of the people we'd known longest,
192
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,117
you know, and…
and a huge confidant of ours,
193
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,517
and we just knew him very well.
And, you know, when anyone dies like that,
194
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,037
it's just the shock of them
being wrenched out of the picture.
195
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,677
You go, "Oh,
I'm not gonna see him anymore."
196
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,837
I don't think there was anything sinister.
197
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,197
Later there came out all these, you know,
rumors that it was a sort of
198
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,997
very sinister circumstances,
199
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,440
but I think those are easy to do
after the event.
200
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,437
I sort of went around a couple
of days later and saw…
201
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,597
Brian had a butler, you know,
working for him,
202
00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:45,640
and he didn't seem to feel
there was anything suspicious,
203
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,517
and he seemed to feel that, uh,
204
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,597
you know, he wasn't
in any sort of black mood.
205
00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:51,237
He could have been. I don't know.
206
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,440
But my feeling was that, uh,
that it was an accident.
207
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,877
I don't believe that he committed suicide.
208
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,557
I believe it was an accident,
'cause the... in those days,
209
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,917
everybody was topping themselves
accidentally
210
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:07,240
by taking uppers and…
or amphetamine and alcohol.
211
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,080
And that happens, you know.
212
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,157
I feel that happened with Keith Moon.
213
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,520
Just one too many.
214
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,920
"I can deal with it." Jimi, whatever.
215
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,480
Jim… Mama, all those people.
216
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,440
You know, I don't think
any of them set out to die.
217
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,597
Without Brian, the Beatles
wouldn't have happened
218
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:29,280
in the way that we know, at all.
219
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,237
But, of course, and… and… and he was...
220
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,480
They were his babies, they… they…
221
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,360
He… he lived for the Beatles.
222
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,560
Have you a tribute you'd like
to pay to Mr. Epstein?
223
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,477
Well, you know, we don't know what to say.
224
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:44,680
We loved him, and he was one of us.
225
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,517
So, you can't, you know...
226
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,920

'Cause I'd been interested
237
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,117
in the theater and acting
a long time, and, uh,
238
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,080
I was immediately struck by their…
239
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,797
Their… their music, their beat, and, uh,
240
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,877
their sense of humor, actually, on stage.
241
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,560
And, uh, it was there that,
really, it all started.
242
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,837
I didn't really have
any misconceptions
243
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,640
about our ability to do anything
other than play music.
244
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:10,437
I was scared, you know.
245
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,400
I thought, "We've fucking had it now."
246
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,037
There was a huge void.
247
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,200
We didn't know anything about,
you know, our personal, um…
248
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,277
Business and finances and,
you know, he'd take...
249
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:26,823
just taken care of everything.
250
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:30,680
And I suppose… it was, uh…
251
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,280
It was chaos after that.
252
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,746
We were suddenly like chickens
without heads.
253
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,557
"What are we gonna do?
What are we gonna do?"
254
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,677
You know, that's where Neil
kind of stepped in
255
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,960
and tried to figure out
what was happening.
256
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,277
So, as far as I was concerned,
we had to get it together, you know?
257
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,480
And, but the other people
out there who were, um,
258
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,477
Brian's associates, if you like, you know,
259
00:12:53,560 --> 00:12:56,440
accountants, lawyers,
all of that sort of stuff,
260
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,837
you know, I think it was, uh,
you know, suddenly maybe, you know,
261
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:04,117
the lunatics had now got hold
of the asylum, you know.
262
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,200
What… What were the Beatles gonna do?
263
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,237
Paul made an attempt to carry on
264
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:09,877
as if Brian hadn't died, you know?
265
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,637
I think Paul had an impression
266
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,717
we should be thankful for
what he did, you know, for…
267
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,263
For keeping the Beatles going.
268
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:17,917
I know John got a bit annoyed,
269
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,120
but in the absence
of anyone managing us,
270
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,157
what I think I was doing was sort of,
271
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,357
from within the group,
272
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,400
getting the group to self-manage.
273
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,237
It's possible that I was there
more than anyone.
274
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,597
You know, that I was… I mean,
when we did Magical Mystery Tour,
275
00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:33,517
for instance, I ended up
kind of directing it, uh,
276
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:34,597
even though we said,
277
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:36,077
well, the Beatles
had directed it at the end.

It was Paul's idea.
290
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,637
It was basically a charabanc trip,
291
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,877
which people used to go on
from Liverpool to see
292
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,917
the Blackpool Lights.
293
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,800
And they'd get, you know,
loads of crates of beer
294
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,357
and an accordion player,
and all get pissed and... basically,
295
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,717
and just go...
"pissed" in the English sense,
296
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:26,800
meaning drunk.
297
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,037
And, uh, just go
to see Blackpool Lights.
298
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,240
And it was kind of like that. It was…
299
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:38,277
Uh… it was a very flimsy kind of thing.
300
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,997

There was a couple of good songs,
330
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,237
and there was a few funny scenes.
331
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,997
I mean, the scene that, to me,
332
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,117
that stands out is the one
of John shoveling the spaghetti
333
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:35,997
onto the woman's plate.
334
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,397
I… I mean, that was the best bit
335
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,637
of the movie for me.
336
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:45,197
Mud… in 45 minutes?
I can hardly get my breath.
337
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:46,877
That was an actual dream he'd had.
338
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:47,997
It's intake, Jessie…
339
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,837
And so, he'd come in, you know,
and he'd sort of say,
340
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,277
"Hey, I had this wild dream
last night.
341
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,277
"I'd like to do it.
I'm a waiter..." you know.
342
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,917
And so, we'd just put them in,
you know, and, uh,
343
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,197
it was very haphazard.
You know, looking back on it,
344
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:00,757
it's how you learn, kind of thing.
345
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,597
By your mistakes, you know.
346
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,517
Remember.
347
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,760
I don't care! This is the way
he would have wanted it.
348
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,920
But I think, you know,
in the end, it became out…
349
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:16,357
I think it's quite interesting now,
350
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:17,997
looking back on it as a period piece.
351
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,637
And people like Spielberg,
352
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,837
I've read that people like him
have sort of said,
353
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,357
"When I was in film school,
we really... that was a film
354
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,877
we really took notice of..."
Like an art film, you know,
355
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,557
rather than a proper film.
356
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,597
But of course, we then released it, um,
357
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,680
got it shown on the BBC on Boxing Day.
358
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,640
And, of course, they showed it
in black and white, and so…
359
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,080
It was hated.
360
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,517
You know, they all had
their chance then to say,
361
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:44,880
"They've gone too far.
362
00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:47,637
Who do they think they are?
What does it mean?"
363
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:48,757
They hated it.
364
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,960
At least the people who wrote
in the newspaper hated it.
365
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:54,920
You know, they, um…
366
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,557
Don't forget that
with all the success we'd had,
367
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,280
every time something came out,
a new record or… or whatever,
368
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,717
they'd all try
and slam it so that, you know,
369
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,637
because once they've built you up
that high, you know,
370
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,677
all they can do
is knock you back down again.
371
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,477
I mean, that's… that's
what happens. That's life.
372
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,557
If you look to your left,
ladies and gentlemen,
373
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,640
the view is not very inspiring.
374
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,037
Ah, but if you look to your right…
375
00:18:22,120 --> 00:18:23,877
So, that was really slated,
376
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,597
but, of course,
when people started seeing it
377
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,837
in color… uh, they realized that it was…
378
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,040
It was a lot of fun.
379
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,957
You know,
especially that aerial ballet shot.
380
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:34,797
You know, we went all over Iceland,
381
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,840
sent a… …guy out filming.
382
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,920
You know, in reality,
we hadn't done it,
383
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,957
uh, as professionally, you know,
384
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,160
as it… as it could have been done, right?
385
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,357
But it was our first go
at that sort of stuff, you know,
386
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,200
and it was in a very, uh,
387
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:09,757
traumatic period
388
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,037
of everybody's career, if you like.
389
00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:16,157
We did the best we could, and I think,
under all the circumstances,
390
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,680
it… it really turned out
very well, you know.
391
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,717
And now, we're gonna play
a track from, uh, Magical Mystery Tour,
392
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,277
which is one of my favorite albums
393
00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:28,277
'cause it was so weird, and, uh,
it's "I Am The Walrus".
394
00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:30,077
It's also one of me favorite tracks
395
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:31,557
'cause I did it, of course,
396
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:32,757
but also 'cause it's one of those
397
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,957
that has enough little bitties
going to keep you interested
398
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,277

I think we were quite pleased with it. Um…
432
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,237
At the time, it was all right.
433
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:25,517
You know, it wasn't the greatest thing
434
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,597
we'd ever done.
I defend it on the lines
435
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,757
that nowhere else do you see a performance
436
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,597
of "I Am The Walrus".
That's the only performance ever.
437
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:33,717
So, things like that, I think,
438
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,997
are enough to make it
an interesting film.
439
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,202

I think we've got
something there, George.
463
00:22:58,360 --> 00:23:00,477
Far from the noise
and pace of city life
464
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,720
in the cool, clear air
of Rishikesh, North India,
465
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,397
Pathé News reports
from the meditation retreat
466
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,240
of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi,
467
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,157
the man who, through
transcendental meditation,
468
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,120
is currently bringing peace
of mind to the Beatles.
469
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,840
Rishikesh is an incredible place.
470
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,357
It's like, 99% of the population
of Rishikesh
471
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,477
are all renunciants.
472
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,280
And it's right in the foothills
of the Himalayas.
473
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,877
It's where the Ganges flows
out of the Himalayas
474
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,280
into the plains of Kurukshetra,
it's called,
475
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,200
the plains between Delhi
and the Himalayas.
476
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,397
I mean, we were
really away from everything.
477
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:41,517

479

you know… right at the foot
of the Himalayas.
480
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,517

but they call it the foothills,

00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,157

You know, it was
pretty exciting, you know.
502
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,677
We were in this
really spiritual place and, uh,
503
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:43,320
we were meditating a lot, uh,
having seminars by Maharishi.
504
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,320
And it… it was pretty far out.
505
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,877
It was very much
like a kind of summer camp.
506
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,277
You would get up in the morning,
507
00:25:51,360 --> 00:25:54,200
you would go down
to a little communal breakfast.
508
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,317
Food was veggie,
which is kind of good for me now,
509
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:58,877
but thinking back on it, it was…
510
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,637
I was still meat-eating then,
so it was… it was all right, though.
511
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,557
It was sort of curries
and stuff, you know.
512
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,917
The food was…
was impossible for me because,
513
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,717
you know, I am allergic
to so many different things,
514
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,597
that I took two suitcases with me,
515
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,557
one of clothes and one of Heinz beans.
516
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:13,840
There's a plug for you.
517
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:15,717
And we sat in the mountains
518
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:21,037
eating lousy vegetarian food
and writing all those songs,
519
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:23,120
you know, we wrote tons
of songs in India.
520
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,277
"Dear Prudence"
certainly got written there.
521
00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:27,557
Mia Farrow's sister was…
522
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,517
Well, she sort of hibernated,
meditated and hibernated.
523
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,317
We saw her, I think,
524
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,280
twice in the two weeks I was there.
525
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,727

-Did you write anything, George?

00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:08,517
Obviously not.

Did you write anything
when you were there?
546
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,157
I wrote "Sour Milk Sea".
547
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,597
-I wrote a number of songs…
-Did you?
548
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,477
…which I've never recorded to this day.
549
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,197
I wrote one called "Dehra Dun".

551
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,797

there was a lot of things there

00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,397
that was actually stuff
the Maharishi had said,
565
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,357
like that song,
"Come on, come on", you know,
566
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,837
"Come on, it's such a joy",
whatever that song…

00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,877
"Everybody Got Something To Hide

00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:01,597
Well, uh,
569
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:02,997
apart from the bit about the monkey,
570
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,157

used to always say, you know.

578
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,157
Somehow… or other,
a helicopter came.
579
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,717
It landed down by the Ganges.
580
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,037
This was on the banks
of the Ganges in Rishikesh.
581
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,397
And it was like, one of us,
582
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,877
"One of you can go up
for a quick ride with Maharishi.
583
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,277
Who's it gonna be?"
"Me, sir! Me, sir! Sir... Sir!"
584
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,720
And, of course, it was John.
John always would, uh, vzzz.
585
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,517
He was good at that, you know?
586
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,120
So, it got to be him anyway.
587
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,277
And I was saying, why...
Later, I was saying,
588
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,597
"Why were you so keen, like,
to get up with Maharishi?"
589
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:57,917
He said, "Tell you the truth", he said,
590
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,557
"I thought he might slip me
the answer."
591
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,640
It's very John!
592
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,760

594
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,200
I gave myself, uh, a set period,
595
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,157
and then if it was gonna be something
we really had to go back for…
596
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,277
I was thinking of going back, you know.
597
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,357
But at the end of my month,
I was quite happy,
598
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,637
and I thought, "This is…
this'll do me. This is fine.
599
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,557
If I want to get into it heavy,
I can do it anywhere."
600
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:25,677
That's one of the nice things about it.
601
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,197
It's like you don't have to go
to church to do it.
602
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:28,277
Do it in your own room.
603
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:32,640
I didn't come back, um,
with the others anyway.
604
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:37,040
I don't recall. I think Ringo
probably came back quickly.
605
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,355
He just went for
a couple of weeks, just like,
606
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,600
just to put his toe in the water
and see what it was like, maybe.
607
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,440
We were there four months,
or George and I were.
608
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,480
We lost 13 pounds
and we looked a day older.
609
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,957
Did you, uh…
Do you think this man's on the level?
610
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,200
I don't know what level he's on,
but, uh,
611
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,197
we had a nice holiday in India
612
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,560
and came back rested
to play businessmen.
613
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,080
Whose idea was Apple?
614
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,557
I don't know. It was sort of around,
615
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,480
I think, before Brian died.
616
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,760
I think, actually, the idea for
Apple was the accountants' idea.
617
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,800
"You must diversify." One of those.
618
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,800
I was still in India when it started.
619
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,560
I think it was basically, um,
John and Paul's, uh,
620
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:30,157
madness, ego, running away
with themselves or with each other.
621
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,960
The big theory was
that we'd put all our affairs
622
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,400
into sort of one bundle.
623
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,080
We'd have it as our own company, Apple.
624
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,597
It would be a record label.
All the things we'd ever wanted to do.
625
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,600
It's just trying to mix business
626
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,480
-with enjoyment.
-Pleasure.
627
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,800
'Cause we're in business, you know.
628
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:48,477
We find ourselves in business.
629
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:49,557
Are you the directors?
630
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,689
-Are you the director of this?
-Yeah. Yeah.
631
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,680
But, like, all the profits
won't go into our pockets.
632
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,240
They'll go to help people,
but not like a charity.
633
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,040
The sole purpose of Apple was not to…
634
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,000
People didn't have to beg anymore.
635
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,120
Artists, if they had a valid idea,
636
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:07,520
we would front them.
637
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:10,797
And, you know,
we had a publishing company,
638
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,392
a record company, and we would…
639
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,440
…we could use that
in these companies.
640
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,557
But, you know,
we should have had a big sign,
641
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:18,880
"You don't have to beg".
642
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:23,440
Because we got screwed
in business all the time, and, uh,
643
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,277
you know, how you have
to go down on your knees.
644
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,517
That was the famous one
that John said, you know,
645
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,360
"We don't want people to have
to go down on their knees."
646
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,477
But we wanna set up a system whereby
people who just want to make
647
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:38,077
a film about anything
don't have to go on their knees
648
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,760
in somebody's office, probably yours.
649
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:42,837
Well, what we did, you see,
650
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,317
we did this mad thing of, like,
651
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,720
and maybe put an ad in the paper,
or something, saying,
652
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,637
"Send us your tapes
and they will not be shown
653
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,557
straight into the waste paper basket."
654
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,200
You know, "We will answer."
655
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,560
And we just got inundated with tapes,
656
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:04,080
and poetry, and scripts, and, phew!
657
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,400
And, in actual fact, I don't
really think we got any bands
658
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,480
or any artists by that method.
659
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,200
We never really got much
from the send-in tapes,
660
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,200
but because people knew
we were interested, we got,
661
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,757
for instance, Peter Asher

00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,480
…and for people
that came in from the outside.
687
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:58,240
For me, it was, um…
a lot of hard work setting it up
688
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,720
and, uh, a lot of chaos.
689
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,700
We were just guys goofing off,
having a lot of fun,
690
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,277
trying to get things under our control.
691
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:07,797
That was basically
what we were trying to do,
692
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,037
which a lot of people do now.
693
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,117
They have their own companies,
they… they take lawyers to meetings
694
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:13,677
and get good deals and things, you know.
695
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,321
It was the start of all of that,
696
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,280
but it was a pretty haphazard start.
697
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,437
We had a lot of ideas of
"We could do this and we could do that",
698
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,320
but when it came down to it, really,
699
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,197
the only thing we could do was write songs
700
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,240
and make records and be Beatles.
701
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,200
Once upon a time,
or maybe twice,
702
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:38,440
there was an unearthly paradise
called Pepperland.

The first thing when we heard
people were gonna do a cartoon,
712
00:36:19,240 --> 00:36:21,480
"Have a man who sailed to sea
713
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,237
and went to the land of submarines."
714
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:24,677
Sounds like a pretty good story.
715
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,637
"Go down under the water, see this thing,
716
00:36:26,720 --> 00:36:28,437
meet all the people who live there."
717
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,877
But we were into kind
of psychedelic stuff with Pepper
718
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,180
and those kind of things.
719
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,720
So, they wanted more
of that kind of stuff.
720
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,040
Um, so it was up to them anyway,
so we went along with that.
721
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,557
And they had all the
Sea of Holes and all that stuff,
722
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,120
which I think, seeing it now,
is pretty good,
723
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:44,997
you know, it's quite interesting, really.
724
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:46,597
Oh, no, I loved the film, you know.
725
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,277
I thought it was really innovative.
726
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:49,600
It's great animation.
727
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,877
Sea of Holes still, to this day, holds up.
728
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,400

729
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,877
-Anti-Music Missiles?
-Nah!
730
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,557
The Dreadful Flying Glove?
731
00:36:58,640 --> 00:36:59,677
Nah!
732
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:04,640
Today, Pepperland goes blue.
733
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:08,760
Fire!
734
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,920
Yeah, I liked the film.
I think it's a classic film.
735
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,277
I'm not sure why we never did
our own voices,
736
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,280
but probably the actors
probably did it better anyway.
737
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,288
You know, 'cause you needed
to be more cartoon-like.
738
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,080
I mean, our voices were
pretty cartoon-like anyway, but,
739
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,840
you know, the exaggeration that you've got
740
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,360
with the other actors' voices,
I think it suits it.
741
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,477
Yes, they do look very nice, don't they?
742
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,757
-Yes, they do.
-They do, though, don't they?
743
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,520
-Yes, they do.
-Don't dey dough?
744
00:37:47,240 --> 00:37:48,240
Dough?
745
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,000
Oh, la… Dat dough?
746
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,880
What's the matter, fellas?
Blue Meanies?
747
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,157
Well, that's where
all of that stuff came from, you know,
748
00:37:57,240 --> 00:38:00,800
that sort of terrible
fake Liverpool accent. "Hello."
749
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,840
The thing with that film
that still blows me away is that,
750
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:05,317
like, the first year it was out,
751
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:06,917
I had all these kids coming up
to me saying,
752
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,640
"Why did you press the button?"
753
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,957
'Cause, you know, I press that
button and get shot out,
754
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,918
and kids from all over the bloody
world were shouting at me.
755
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:16,557
"Why did you press the button?"
756
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,837
Now, whatever you do,
don't touch that button.
757
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,760
-Which button?
-That one.
758
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:22,360
This one?
759
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,320
Oh! That was the panic button.
760
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,400
That film does go for, uh,
every generation, every baby.
761
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,960
You know, a three, four-year-old
goes through Yellow Submarine.
762
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,720

What's the matter, John, love?

Yoko was having
an art show in London
799
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,040
at a gallery called Indica Gallery,
800
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,077
and I heard this was going
to be a happening,
801
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:56,717
so I went down the night
before the opening.
802
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,437
Also, the first thing
that was in the gallery,
803
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,861
as you went in, there was a…
a white step ladder,
804
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:05,160
and a painting on the ceiling,
and a spyglass hanging down.
805
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,837
I walked up this ladder
and I picked up the spyglass,
806
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,437
you're balancing there,
and in teeny little writing,
807
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,677
it just said, "Yes". If it said "No",
808
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:14,277
or, you know, "Aha!"
809
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:15,997
-Something sarcastic.
-Something nasty,
810
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:17,982
like, you know, "rip-off", or whatever.
811
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:19,920
I would have left the… the gallery,
812
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:21,677
but because it was positive,
it said, "Yes",
813
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:23,597
I thought, "Okay, it's the first show
814
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,117
I've been to that's
said something, you know, warm to me."
815
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:27,917
So, then I decided to see
the rest of the show,
816
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,320
and that's when we met.
817
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:39,760
Uh, the naked album cover,
818
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,066
that was the…
one of the first things we did.
819
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:44,765
They showed me this cover art,
820
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,360
and I… and I… I pointed to The Times.
821
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,237
"Oh, you've even got The Times in it",
822
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,200
like his dick wasn't out, you know.
823
00:41:52,720 --> 00:41:56,277
And, uh, and I said,
824
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,720
"Oh, come on, John. You know, you know…"
825
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,277
You know, you're doing
all this stuff, you know.
826
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,277
It… It may be cool for you,
but, you know,
827
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,797
we have to answer, you know.
It doesn't matter, one of us,
828
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:07,117
whichever one of us
does something,
829
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,249
we all have to answer for it."
And he says,
830
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,357
"Well, Ring, you only have to
answer the phone."
831
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,000
So, "Okay, fine."
832
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,080
We felt like two virgins.
833
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,800
That's what the album was called,
because we were in love, just met,
834
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,040
and we were trying to make something.
835
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,280
She and John had
kind of a very intense romance,
836
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:26,557
you know, when they got together,
837
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:30,277
and, uh, she, being
kind of a conceptual artist,
838
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,277
you know, he was fascinated by all that.
839
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:36,400
She's a very strong woman,
a very, um, independent woman,
840
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,000
and John, I think,
always liked strong women.
841
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,560
They were, uh, from that point on,
842
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,520
never to be seen without each other.
843
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,080
You know, for the next
few years, at least.
844
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:50,477
Everybody seemed to be paranoid,
845
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,853
except for us two, who were in
the glow of love.
846
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,357
You know, everything's clear
and open when you're in love,
847
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,437
and everybody sort of
was tense around us,
848
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,637
and, you know, "What is she
doing here at the session?"
849
00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:01,877
Or "Why is she with him?"
850
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,917
And all this sort of madness
is going on around us
851
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,960
because we just happen to want
to be together all the time.
852
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:09,920
The trouble was for us,
853
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:14,917
um, it encroached on our
framework that we had going.
854
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,757
Basically, it'd only ever been
the four of us in the studio,
855
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,920
maybe with, uh,
Neil and Mal as the two roadies,
856
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,040
or George Martin up in
the control room often,
857
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:25,597
he only ever came down
occasionally,
858
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,197
or an engineer came down
to fix a mic, but that was it.
859
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,077
In our whole recording career
that had been the setup.
860
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:32,357
And again, you know,
861
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,117
I used to just ask John,
"What's this about?"
862
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,437
And I said…
863
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,397
"You know,
it's… what is happening here?"
864
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,680
Yoko's at all the sessions", and, uh…
865
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:42,197
And he told me straight,
you know, he said,
866
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,117
"Well, you know when you go home
to… to Maureen
867
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,397
and you tell her
how your day was, you know,
868
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,553
takes you like two lines
'Oh, we had a good day in the studio.'"
869
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,760
And he says, "Well, we know
exactly what's going on."
870
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:54,929
You know, that's how they started to live,
871
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,477
every moment together, which, uh,
872
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,243
was something Barbara and I
took up when we got married.
873
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,360
We were absolutely,
moment by moment, we…
874
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:04,800
We were together.

During that period, I think
everybody was getting cheesed off,
894
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:22,157
but yeah, Ringo did leave.
Um, I can't remember exactly why.
895
00:45:22,240 --> 00:45:24,920
I just remember he was suddenly,
one day, I think,
896
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:26,640
Neil or somebody said,
897
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,120
"Oh, Ringo's gone on holiday."
898
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,200
I felt two things.
I felt I wasn't playing great,
899
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,277
and the other three were really happy,
900
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:36,720
and I was an outsider.
901
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:42,157
And so, you know,
I came to this decision,
902
00:45:42,240 --> 00:45:47,237
"Fuck it, I'm… I'm leaving."
And so, I went to see John,
903
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,840
who was living in my apartment
in Montagu Square.
904
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,644
I knocked on the door
and I said, uh, you know,
905
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,637
"Hi", we went in. I said,
"I'm leaving the group because,
906
00:45:56,720 --> 00:46:00,037
you know, I feel like, you know,
unloved and out of it
907
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,900
"and I'm not playing well
and you three are really close."
908
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,120
And he said, "I thought it was you three."
909
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,080
So, okay.
910
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,800
And then I went over to Paul's
and knocked on his door.
911
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,637
Said, uh... I said the same thing.
I said, you know,
912
00:46:14,720 --> 00:46:16,637
"I'm leaving the band.
I… I feel, you know,
913
00:46:16,720 --> 00:46:18,717
you three guys are really close
and I'm out of it."
914
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,280
And he said, "I thought it was you three."
915
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:24,677
I mean, you know,
that's… that's what it's like in life.
916
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:28,040
You go through life, you don't...
you never stop and say,
917
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,157
"Hey, you know what?
I think you're great."
918
00:46:31,240 --> 00:46:33,397
Well, I don't think we'd ever
done any of that with Ringo.
919
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,757
It'd always just been,
"Yeah, he's great. He's good."
920
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:39,560
And he… he felt insecure,
so we had to... and he… he left.
921
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:43,840
So, we had to kind of go and sort of say,
"No, you're great, man. You're the best."
922
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,373
And then he sort of... he said,
"Oh, thank you."
923
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,480
I think he was pleased to hear that.
924
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,117
And I came back and went in the studio,
925
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:54,080
and George had had it
decked out with flowers,
926
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:59,037
just flowers everywhere,
and John had sent me telegrams saying,
927
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,717
"You're the best rock drummer!
Come on home!"
928
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:06,560
And, uh… and I just felt good
about myself again.
929
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,540
And we'd... you know,
we'd got through that little crisis.
930
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:11,840
One bad bit over
on behalf of me, sir.
931
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,077
-What, another one?
-One bad bit in that one.
932
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:15,317
-Eh?
-A bad bit.
933
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:16,437
Oh yeah.
934
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,557
In one of the breaks,
I got a bit…

00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:24,997
just in a matter of months,
we'd changed in so many ways,
1012
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:26,200
you know? Um…
1013
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,637
So there was… there was
no chance of it ever being,
1014
00:51:29,720 --> 00:51:31,680
you know, like the previous record.
1015
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,517
And all the experience
that had happened in India
1016
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:38,560

was all embodied in that album.

in following up Sgt. Pepper,

and, uh, I don't know whether
the others were or not,
1021
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,397
but I know that what I was going for
1022
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:58,157
was to forget about Sgt. Pepper,
1023
00:51:58,240 --> 00:52:00,717
you know, that was Sgt. Pepper
and that's all right, fine,
1024
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,280
it's over, and just get back

Sgt. Pepper did its thing,
1028
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,560
it was the album of the decade,
of the century, maybe.
1029
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:16,920
It was very innovative, great songs.
1030
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:18,157
I'm glad I was on it.
1031
00:52:18,240 --> 00:52:19,600
But the White Album,
1032
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:21,920
we ended up being more of a band again.
1033
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:25,000
And that's what I always love.
I loved being in a band.

that there was more songs
1039
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:39,840
than would make a single album.
1040
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:41,877
I think it's a fine little album,
1041
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:43,917
and I think the fact
that it's got so much on it
1042
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:45,557
is one of the things that's cool about it.
1043
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:47,157
The songs, and most of it,
1044
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:48,717
is just as good as anything we recorded.
1045
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,483

of group activity going down.
1046
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:52,997

When they did the White Album,
1051
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:09,677
I thought we should have made
1052
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,600
probably a very, very good
single album out of it,
1053
00:53:12,720 --> 00:53:14,237
rather than making a double album.
1054
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:15,597
Well, no, I… I agree.
1055
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,021
We should have put it out
as two separate albums,
1056
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:19,960
the White and the Whiter Album.
1057
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,800
Uh… a lot of information
on a double album.
1058
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:27,720
But, you know, what do you do
when you've got all them songs
1059
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:29,837
and you wanna get, um,
1060
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,880
you wanna get rid of them
so you can do more songs?
1061
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:39,600
You know, there was a lot of,
uh, you know, ego in that band,
1062
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,757
and, um, there was a lot of songs
that should have just maybe
1063
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,000
been elbowed or made into B-sides.
1064
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:46,557
I think it's a fine little album,
1065
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,477

it's got so much on it

1068
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:55,400
you know, "Rocky Raccoon",
"Piggies", um,
1069
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,683
"Happiness Is A Warm Gun",
that kind of stuff, you know.
1070
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:00,840
Uh, I think it's a fine album.
1071
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,317
You know, I'm…
I'm not a great one for that.
1072

The Cromwell kind of figures
in the establishment
1097
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:50,040
were trying to get their own back on us.
1098
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:52,400
Brian Epstein died,
1099
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:54,997
so they tried to say,
1100
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:58,000
"Okay, well, everything they've done
since he died is crap."
1101

of silly stuff.
1102
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:04,160
Like, everything goes in a cycle,
1103
00:56:05,240 --> 00:56:09,080
and once it starts going down,
as anybody can tell you,
1104
00:56:09,240 --> 00:56:11,277
you know, when you get
knocked to the ground,

then they…
they start kicking you, you know?

so like White Album and stuff,
1110
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:27,320
then it… even the studio got
a bit tense then.
1111
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:30,597
We broke up,
then made the double album.
1112
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:32,240
