1
00:00:25,967 --> 00:00:30,324
Last year you visited more countries
than ever - Yeah, that's correct
2
00:00:30,447 --> 00:00:34,406
Which was your favourite?
- America, I think
3
00:00:36,487 --> 00:00:40,275
Why, in particular?
- Because you make a lot of... no!
4
00:00:40,407 --> 00:00:44,366
No, because it's good-it's like
Britain, only with buttons
5
00:00:48,047 --> 00:00:53,041
There's more people in America. You get
big audiences, it's all wild and happy
6
00:00:53,367 --> 00:00:59,158
When we were going back for the
second tour of America, they said:
7
00:00:59,287 --> 00:01:03,280
"We'll start in San Francisco
with a ticker tape parade"
8
00:01:03,407 --> 00:01:08,800
That was once when
I actually said I'm not going
9
00:01:08,927 --> 00:01:12,920
I'm not having a ticker tape parade
10
00:01:13,047 --> 00:01:17,723
It seemed like only a year since
they assassinated Kennedy
11
00:01:18,647 --> 00:01:22,526
I could just imagine, you know,
how mad it is in America
12
00:01:43,807 --> 00:01:46,196
It was just so much fun
13
00:02:18,287 --> 00:02:20,323
Everyone got into the mania
14
00:02:51,447 --> 00:02:53,438
We were getting a little crazy
with it all
15
00:03:26,087 --> 00:03:30,205
We called it the eye of the hurricane.
It was calmer right in the middle
16
00:04:03,487 --> 00:04:05,557
Altogether I think it's 30 days
17
00:04:05,847 --> 00:04:10,204
Stadiums hold more people,
we normally play theatres in England
18
00:04:10,447 --> 00:04:12,244
Haircuts, for instance?
19
00:04:12,367 --> 00:04:16,758
It just happened, you know, you
wake up one day and there you are
20
00:04:17,007 --> 00:04:20,363
We wrote them, we recorded them,
we play them every day
21
00:04:20,487 --> 00:04:22,478
Smiling-that's all we rehearse
22
00:04:22,807 --> 00:04:25,605
On this tour we don't get much
time to do anything
23
00:04:25,967 --> 00:04:29,846
I've just liked this kind of music for
about 8 years, or since it came out
24
00:04:29,967 --> 00:04:32,765
It's just good fun
25
00:04:36,807 --> 00:04:38,286
I loved it
26
00:04:38,407 --> 00:04:41,399
I loved all the decoy cars
27
00:04:41,767 --> 00:04:44,964
and all these intricate ways
of getting us to the gigs
28
00:04:45,127 --> 00:04:49,086
People would say, doesn't it drive
you mad, all these girls screaming?
29
00:04:49,207 --> 00:04:54,361
I'd say no. At a big football match
you'll see the men going 'ruuhhhrrrhh'
30
00:04:54,487 --> 00:04:56,398
This is the girls' equivalent
31
00:04:56,887 --> 00:04:59,276
We did the same thirty minutes
32
00:04:59,487 --> 00:05:02,524
Twenty-five if we didn't like you,
we'd play it fast
33
00:05:02,727 --> 00:05:08,438
You could never hear anything.
We played the repetition of our singles
34
00:05:08,567 --> 00:05:13,561
Just doing our hits, then we only
played twenty minutes anyway
35
00:05:13,807 --> 00:05:17,277
We never realised how fast we played
when we were live
36
00:05:17,407 --> 00:05:21,844
The adrenalin would sometimes
make you, instead of...
37
00:05:25,527 --> 00:05:28,087
Very fast, you know
38
00:05:28,207 --> 00:05:33,235
With all the adrenalin, we'd be talking
fast... and on with the next song
39
00:05:33,447 --> 00:05:36,757
We'd like to carry on with a song
which was on our first Capitol album
40
00:05:36,887 --> 00:05:42,723
We hope you enjoy the song.
It's called All My Loving
41
00:05:47,647 --> 00:05:52,357
The Hollywood Bowl
23rd August 1964
42
00:07:47,247 --> 00:07:50,125
The Hollywood Bowl
was pretty tatty
43
00:07:50,247 --> 00:07:53,159
It'll probably go out
one day, I suppose
44
00:07:53,287 --> 00:07:56,643
But we were so nervous.
It was like going on at the Palladium
45
00:07:56,887 --> 00:07:59,606
I wanted to have a live concert
46
00:08:00,447 --> 00:08:05,805
George Martin
Record Producer
Capitol provided their engineers and
we recorded at the Hollywood Bowl
47
00:08:05,927 --> 00:08:10,921
but the techniques we had then in
America was three-track half-inch
48
00:08:11,327 --> 00:08:15,081
and the separation wasn't too great
49
00:08:15,207 --> 00:08:18,677
To begin with, you had
the voices in the centre
50
00:08:18,807 --> 00:08:23,756
and a mixture of drums, bass
and guitars on separate side-tracks
51
00:08:23,887 --> 00:08:29,803
But pervading the whole lot were
the screams from the audience
52
00:08:30,047 --> 00:08:33,562
It was like putting
a microphone by a 747 jet
53
00:08:33,687 --> 00:08:38,397
It was just one continual
screaming sound
54
00:08:38,767 --> 00:08:42,442
It was difficult to get a good recording
with the techniques we had there
55
00:08:42,567 --> 00:08:47,561
And in fact the Hollywood Bowl
tapes weren't issued
56
00:08:47,687 --> 00:08:51,680
But many years later I dug them up
and refurbished them
57
00:08:51,807 --> 00:08:54,367
And we did actually
issue a record
58
00:09:11,287 --> 00:09:16,281
My idols were Elvis...
pre-army Elvis...
59
00:09:16,407 --> 00:09:21,276
I still think that was
the most exciting thing going
60
00:09:23,047 --> 00:09:27,916
Little Richard - I was a big fan -
but we'd met him in Hamburg
61
00:09:28,047 --> 00:09:31,835
so we didn't have to go to America
to meet him. He was a big idol
62
00:09:31,967 --> 00:09:36,199
Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino -
we met Fats in New Orleans
63
00:09:36,327 --> 00:09:40,923
He had a very big diamond watch
in the shape of a star
64
00:09:41,247 --> 00:09:44,045
which was very impressive
65
00:09:44,807 --> 00:09:50,598
We started to meet people who'd
been in the newspapers or on film
66
00:09:50,727 --> 00:09:53,241
We were actually rubbing
shoulders with them
67
00:09:58,767 --> 00:10:00,041
He was one of them
68
00:10:00,207 --> 00:10:01,322
He was our idol
69
00:10:01,487 --> 00:10:04,047
Bob was our hero
70
00:10:04,607 --> 00:10:11,001
Not an idol but we heard his record,
we'd listen to his album
71
00:10:11,247 --> 00:10:15,525
It really gave us a buzz
and we played it over and over
72
00:10:15,967 --> 00:10:19,323
I heard of Bob through John
73
00:10:19,887 --> 00:10:23,243
He played the records to me.
It was just great
74
00:10:23,727 --> 00:10:25,558
I think it was Freewheelin'
75
00:10:25,927 --> 00:10:27,724
We loved Bob Dylan
76
00:10:52,127 --> 00:10:57,918
So by the time we met him
we'd heard much more about him
77
00:10:58,087 --> 00:11:03,366
It was a great honour to meet him.
We had a crazy party the night we met
78
00:11:03,807 --> 00:11:09,325
I thought I'd got
the meaning to life that night
79
00:11:09,447 --> 00:11:14,999
I said to our roadie "Mal, get a
pencil and paper. I've got it "
80
00:11:15,127 --> 00:11:18,597
Mal couldn't find a pencil
and paper anywhere
81
00:11:18,727 --> 00:11:24,006
Eventually he found it and I wrote down
my message for the universe
82
00:11:24,127 --> 00:11:28,564
I said "Keep that in your pocket"
83
00:11:28,967 --> 00:11:34,041
The next morning, he asked if I
wanted to see that bit of paper
84
00:11:34,167 --> 00:11:38,638
"Oh yeah" and I'd written...
"There are seven levels"
85
00:11:39,327 --> 00:11:44,526
There were two men in the room
and Bob's the well-known one
86
00:11:44,687 --> 00:11:48,202
Al Aronowitz was there -
a journalist, who's like a mate
87
00:11:49,087 --> 00:11:53,683
That was the first time for me
that I'd really smoked marijuana
88
00:11:54,567 --> 00:11:58,480
I laughed and laughed and laughed
89
00:11:59,367 --> 00:12:01,801
It was fabulous
90
00:12:14,167 --> 00:12:16,886
I remember travelling with the boys
91
00:12:17,007 --> 00:12:21,000
I was almost kicked out of an aircraft
by reporters wanting to get on
92
00:12:21,127 --> 00:12:25,643
I got stuck in a lift between floors
when too many people crowded in
93
00:12:25,767 --> 00:12:28,918
and being escorted by police cars
94
00:12:29,047 --> 00:12:32,244
It was just a three-ring circus
from which there was no let-up
95
00:12:32,367 --> 00:12:36,155
Peace only came when they were
alone in their hotel rooms
96
00:12:36,287 --> 00:12:40,724
hearing the screams outside
and watching television
97
00:12:40,847 --> 00:12:43,759
That was about it.
Hell of a life, really
98
00:12:44,167 --> 00:12:47,159
Yeah, there was all kinds of stuff
99
00:12:47,287 --> 00:12:51,360
We flew out of Montreal in order
to avoid Ringo getting killed
100
00:12:52,087 --> 00:12:55,477
We were playing Canada
101
00:12:56,127 --> 00:13:00,598
and they decided to make an
example of an English Jew
102
00:13:02,207 --> 00:13:07,679
One major fault is I'm not Jewish
103
00:13:09,207 --> 00:13:14,645
We were playing the gig
and I was always on a high riser
104
00:13:15,567 --> 00:13:21,085
I had a cop, a plain clothes
policeman sitting there with me
105
00:13:22,167 --> 00:13:26,399
Now for the first time I was worried,
really worried
106
00:13:26,527 --> 00:13:31,237
I had the cymbals a bit like this
to give me a bit of protection
107
00:13:31,367 --> 00:13:34,165
Usually they're like this,
but I had 'em up
108
00:13:34,287 --> 00:13:37,120
Then I started getting hysterical,
thinking...
109
00:13:37,247 --> 00:13:40,045
if someone in the audience
has a pop at me
110
00:13:40,167 --> 00:13:43,716
what is this guy going to do,
catch the bullet?
111
00:13:43,847 --> 00:13:48,875
It was getting funnier all the time
and this guy was just sitting there
112
00:13:50,047 --> 00:13:54,837
All that kind of stuff was happening
all the time. It was terrifying
113
00:13:56,887 --> 00:14:01,403
People would set off
firecrackers in the hall
114
00:14:01,527 --> 00:14:05,122
and you'd think
one of the others had got shot
115
00:14:06,367 --> 00:14:10,485
But on stage I always feel safe,
even though they break through
116
00:14:10,647 --> 00:14:15,402
I just feel as though I'm all right
when I'm plugged in
117
00:14:15,527 --> 00:14:18,041
I don't feel as though they'll get me
118
00:14:22,127 --> 00:14:26,996
If you look at any books that say
where the Beatles were working
119
00:14:27,127 --> 00:14:31,006
you'll find we hardly ever had a day off.
We'd have to complain to Brian
120
00:14:31,127 --> 00:14:36,599
He had all the pressure of people
wanting to book us, with high offers
121
00:14:36,727 --> 00:14:39,480
We'd say "We gotta have
a day off, man"
122
00:14:40,047 --> 00:14:44,404
Neil Aspinall
Tour Manager
We didn't get any time off-we seemed
to get five minutes here and there
123
00:14:44,527 --> 00:14:49,362
It might have been longer but it felt
like five minutes. But that was OK
124
00:14:49,887 --> 00:14:54,722
Everywhere, there were hordes of people
trying to get hold of them
125
00:14:54,847 --> 00:14:59,125
trying to get their autographs,
trying to touch them
126
00:14:59,367 --> 00:15:03,918
Everywhere they went they were
brought cripples
127
00:15:04,047 --> 00:15:07,278
There was a thing that went around -
look out, fellows, cripples coming!
128
00:15:07,407 --> 00:15:11,798
Paraplegics were wheeled in so that
they could touch them, like Jesus almost
129
00:15:12,367 --> 00:15:15,359
Derek Taylor
Beatles' Press Officer
There was without doubt
a lot of opportunism
130
00:15:15,487 --> 00:15:18,843
There were people pushing
wheelchairs who were bonkers
131
00:15:18,967 --> 00:15:23,995
The people in the wheelchairs were
victims of whatever had got them there
132
00:15:24,127 --> 00:15:27,483
and also the prisoners
of these people
133
00:15:27,607 --> 00:15:30,963
That situation did become nightmarish
134
00:15:32,487 --> 00:15:37,038
There were some really bad cases,
God help them
135
00:15:37,167 --> 00:15:40,159
but there was really some...
136
00:15:42,287 --> 00:15:46,519
Poor little children would be brought in.
Some actual basket cases
137
00:15:46,647 --> 00:15:49,559
I mean they were just in baskets,
you know
138
00:15:49,687 --> 00:15:54,283
and also some really...
139
00:15:55,447 --> 00:15:59,360
just sad thalidomide kids
140
00:16:00,167 --> 00:16:04,240
It's not very nice to be afflicted
141
00:16:04,367 --> 00:16:11,205
but John had this thing
that manifest as a joke
142
00:16:11,327 --> 00:16:15,320
He'd always joke about it because
the reality was too much for him
143
00:16:15,647 --> 00:16:19,003
I think it was fear or something
144
00:16:20,687 --> 00:16:24,680
You can see, actually,
in all these home movies
145
00:16:24,807 --> 00:16:29,483
every time the camera is on John,
he goes into a spastic kind...
146
00:16:29,607 --> 00:16:32,883
his interpretation
of what a spastic is
147
00:16:33,767 --> 00:16:37,965
John would always do daft clapping
148
00:16:38,087 --> 00:16:43,286
We couldn't really see ourselves as
the sort of 'yah', 'c'mon', 'get on'
149
00:16:43,407 --> 00:16:45,204
It was all...
150
00:16:46,047 --> 00:16:49,483
There was a lot of that,
but it kept us sane, I think
151
00:16:49,607 --> 00:16:54,522
A bit of irreverent humour. It meant
we weren't falling for the game too much
152
00:16:54,807 --> 00:16:57,799
It's dead easy.
All you've got to do is clap hands
153
00:16:58,087 --> 00:17:00,396
Clap your hands
154
00:17:07,207 --> 00:17:11,246
If you don't want to clap your hands,
you can stamp your feet on the floor
155
00:17:18,167 --> 00:17:23,195
When we left the screaming fans,
there were screaming policemen
156
00:17:23,327 --> 00:17:27,002
and the Lord Mayors and their wives
157
00:17:27,127 --> 00:17:30,517
and the hotel manager
and his entourage
158
00:17:30,647 --> 00:17:34,925
The only place we ever got any peace
was when we got in the suite
159
00:17:35,047 --> 00:17:37,766
and went to the bathroom
160
00:17:37,887 --> 00:17:41,800
That was about the only place
where you could have a bit of peace
161
00:17:41,967 --> 00:17:46,882
We'll probably never do
another tour like it
162
00:17:47,007 --> 00:17:51,717
It's been something we'll probably
remember for the rest of our days
163
00:17:52,167 --> 00:17:57,844
We just nipped about very quickly
and then we were back home
164
00:18:05,927 --> 00:18:08,441
Today the Beatles
returned from America
165
00:18:08,567 --> 00:18:13,118
London Airport
21st September 1964
where they played 32 shows
in 34 days in 24 different cities
166
00:18:13,487 --> 00:18:18,515
But there's no rest for the boys. In two
weeks, they'll be on the road in the UK
167
00:18:28,007 --> 00:18:33,081
John had mucked around with feedback
for a while. Yes, it was intentional
168
00:18:33,207 --> 00:18:37,803
He found it difficult to get
the right amount of feedback
169
00:18:37,927 --> 00:18:42,443
I think it was the first time
that feedback was used on a record
170
00:18:42,567 --> 00:18:47,402
He loved things like that.
He loved weird effects
171
00:18:47,807 --> 00:18:50,082
It was his idea, it was great
172
00:18:50,247 --> 00:18:54,798
I remember that John and George
had Everly Brothers 'Gibsons'
173
00:18:54,927 --> 00:18:59,045
We had these big Gibson round
sound-hole... electrics
174
00:18:59,167 --> 00:19:02,921
They looked like ones
the Everlys had used
175
00:19:04,247 --> 00:19:09,765
They were semi-electrics.
They had electric facilities on them
176
00:19:09,887 --> 00:19:13,084
And John leaned his against the amp
177
00:19:13,207 --> 00:19:19,077
We were starting to talk about the song
and the A string started feeding back
178
00:19:21,807 --> 00:19:25,197
What? Can we... can you do that?
179
00:19:25,327 --> 00:19:28,125
Oh yes, I can edit it on the front
180
00:19:29,047 --> 00:19:33,245
He figured how to do it.
We used to do it on stage then
181
00:19:33,367 --> 00:19:38,839
John figured out that you just hit the A
and get it buzzing by the amp
182
00:19:39,127 --> 00:19:43,006
So it was a start of all that...
- In a way, he invented Jimi Hendrix
183
00:19:43,127 --> 00:19:45,402
It probably was, actually
184
00:19:45,527 --> 00:19:49,520
Once you see somebody
messing with feedback
185
00:19:49,647 --> 00:19:52,798
it's a whole field of research, isn't it?
186
00:19:53,047 --> 00:19:57,916
But that's how it happened. It wasn't
engineered, it came from an accident
187
00:19:58,047 --> 00:20:01,119
and then we made it something
we could edit on to the front
188
00:22:11,447 --> 00:22:15,042
Funny chaps, who are they?
Maybe I'll find out as the show goes on
189
00:22:16,167 --> 00:22:21,082
Most of the boys' songs are taken
from their latest LP called...
190
00:22:21,207 --> 00:22:24,279
It's called Beatles for Sale
191
00:22:24,847 --> 00:22:30,160
It's got eight of our songs
and the rest are...
192
00:22:30,287 --> 00:22:35,361
8 from 14... 9? Please,
I'm not very good at counting
193
00:22:35,567 --> 00:22:38,240
6, of course... yes 8 and 6
194
00:22:42,087 --> 00:22:44,282
Who are the other numbers...
- Kansas City for one
195
00:22:44,407 --> 00:22:50,084
Two Carl Perkins, one Little Richard,
one Chuck Berry and one Dr Feelgood
196
00:22:50,607 --> 00:22:54,282
What's the Chuck Berry number?
- Rock and Roll Music
197
00:22:54,407 --> 00:22:58,446
We like the old numbers
- Sing one for us, will you?
198
00:22:58,567 --> 00:23:01,127
All right then, Kansas City
199
00:23:24,007 --> 00:23:28,637
Shindig TV Show
London
200
00:25:48,527 --> 00:25:53,157
Palais des Sports
Paris
201
00:28:09,407 --> 00:28:13,798
A problem with their concerts was
that they couldn't hear themselves
202
00:28:14,087 --> 00:28:18,365
Today, everyone's used to the
technology and great concerts
203
00:28:18,487 --> 00:28:23,686
and everyone has a fold-back speaker
at their feet to hear what's going on
204
00:28:23,807 --> 00:28:25,957
Didn't have that in those days
205
00:28:26,087 --> 00:28:29,636
John, Paul and George would be
standing at microphones
206
00:28:29,767 --> 00:28:33,521
in front of a screaming crowd
of 60000
207
00:28:33,647 --> 00:28:37,276
Ringo would be at the back
on the drums and he said to me:
208
00:28:37,407 --> 00:28:40,683
"It was very difficult following,
I couldn't do anything clever
209
00:28:40,807 --> 00:28:45,039
"I couldn't do great drum kicks
or drum rolls or fills
210
00:28:45,167 --> 00:28:48,603
"I just had to keep that back beat going
to keep everybody together"
211
00:31:05,927 --> 00:31:10,682
Killer of demons, gorge on this flesh,
our offering... drink!
212
00:31:11,087 --> 00:31:12,884
Hold!
213
00:31:15,327 --> 00:31:18,603
The ring, she's not wearing
the sacrificial ring
214
00:31:22,247 --> 00:31:24,238
She cannot be sacrificed
without the ring
215
00:31:34,567 --> 00:31:39,561
We'd done the Hard Day's Night film,
which was great
216
00:31:40,087 --> 00:31:44,922
Dick Lester had done this artsy black
and white thing we'd all loved
217
00:31:45,047 --> 00:31:48,756
So the next things was: OK, what next?
Well, maybe a colour film
218
00:31:49,287 --> 00:31:52,199
In colour, yeah, wow, there you see,
they had more money for that one
219
00:31:53,007 --> 00:31:56,761
So then things went a bit awry
220
00:31:56,887 --> 00:32:00,880
We started saying:
221
00:32:01,007 --> 00:32:04,716
We've never been to the Bahamas,
could you write that in?
222
00:32:28,247 --> 00:32:29,726
It was fabulous
223
00:32:29,847 --> 00:32:34,398
But we went to the Bahamas for the
hot scenes and it was freezing
224
00:32:34,527 --> 00:32:40,523
We had to run round in shirts
and thin trousers
225
00:32:40,647 --> 00:32:42,638
but it was actually bloody cold!
226
00:32:42,847 --> 00:32:46,681
I've never been skiing-could
you write in a scene with skiing?
227
00:33:07,847 --> 00:33:10,315
First time I'd been on skis
228
00:33:10,607 --> 00:33:13,485
I loved that,
not that any of us could ski
229
00:33:13,607 --> 00:33:18,317
Dick Lester just put us on skis
and edged us down a mountain
230
00:35:50,167 --> 00:35:51,759
Boys! Are you buzzing?
231
00:35:51,887 --> 00:35:56,836
I think this was beginning
to get into that period
232
00:35:57,247 --> 00:36:02,116
when people were giving up the drink,
the stimulant of the times
233
00:36:02,247 --> 00:36:06,240
and were getting into
the herbal jazz cigarettes
234
00:36:06,487 --> 00:36:12,357
It was changing things a bit. Things
became more imaginitive, more crazy
235
00:36:12,567 --> 00:36:17,197
By then we were smoking
marijuana for breakfast
236
00:36:17,327 --> 00:36:19,318
Nobody could communicate with us
237
00:36:19,447 --> 00:36:22,723
It was just glazed eyes,
giggling all the time
238
00:36:22,847 --> 00:36:24,803
We had fun in those days
239
00:36:24,967 --> 00:36:27,925
I think that was one reason
for not learning the script
240
00:36:28,047 --> 00:36:32,882
We just showed up a bit stoned,
smiled and hoped we'd get through it
241
00:36:33,887 --> 00:36:36,720
'ere you are-cop this one hand
242
00:36:37,327 --> 00:36:39,283
Ugly though, aren't they?
- Hands?
243
00:36:40,247 --> 00:36:43,319
Some people's are
- You're light in the kitty again
244
00:36:43,447 --> 00:36:45,119
Show us your hand, Ringo
245
00:36:46,847 --> 00:36:49,077
You want to chuck one in
- Get on
246
00:36:49,367 --> 00:36:52,598
How about drumming?
- Won't affect it
247
00:36:52,727 --> 00:36:57,278
I don't know many...
- It appears I need one card...
248
00:36:57,887 --> 00:37:00,924
It's difficult when four people
249
00:37:01,047 --> 00:37:05,598
all have to say lines
one behind the other
250
00:37:05,847 --> 00:37:09,203
If one person forgets,
you've got to start again
251
00:37:09,327 --> 00:37:11,761
and then the next person forgets
252
00:37:11,887 --> 00:37:16,563
The scenes in Buckingham Palace
in Help!
253
00:37:16,687 --> 00:37:19,838
We were doing that scene for days
254
00:37:20,287 --> 00:37:25,680
where they put some pipe...
and some red smoke comes through
255
00:37:25,807 --> 00:37:29,720
We shove it out of the window
and all the guards fall over
256
00:37:35,927 --> 00:37:37,406
It must be their tea break
257
00:37:37,647 --> 00:37:43,643
That scene just went on for ever,
we were in stitches, hysterics, laughing
258
00:37:44,127 --> 00:37:48,006
We pushed Dick Lester
to the limit of his...
259
00:37:48,127 --> 00:37:51,722
He was very, very easygoing
260
00:37:51,847 --> 00:37:54,680
He was a pleasure to work with
261
00:37:55,207 --> 00:37:58,005
There's one scene in the film
262
00:37:58,687 --> 00:38:04,159
where Victor Spinetti and whoever
else in the scene are curling
263
00:38:04,647 --> 00:38:07,400
You know those big stones they do
264
00:38:07,527 --> 00:38:09,438
And one of them has a bomb in it
265
00:38:09,847 --> 00:38:13,681
We find out about this
and we have to run away
266
00:38:16,807 --> 00:38:20,436
Paul and I ran about seven miles
267
00:38:22,047 --> 00:38:28,043
We just ran and ran so we could
stop and have a joint and come back
268
00:38:30,047 --> 00:38:33,437
We were just off...
You know we'd run to Switzerland
269
00:38:36,167 --> 00:38:38,203
I enjoyed filming it
270
00:38:38,327 --> 00:38:43,037
I'm sort of satisfied but not smug
about it, you know. It'll do
271
00:38:43,167 --> 00:38:48,719
We couldn't do it any better because
we're not capable enough actors
272
00:40:55,687 --> 00:40:57,996
We were searching around for a title
273
00:40:58,127 --> 00:41:02,996
That was crucial to us,
to get the titles good
274
00:41:03,127 --> 00:41:06,722
We'd had the Hard Day's Night thing
275
00:41:06,847 --> 00:41:11,079
which had been Ringo
just making a mistake
276
00:41:11,207 --> 00:41:14,324
He jumbles his words, not meaning to
277
00:41:16,487 --> 00:41:22,596
and you get a new phrase that's
better than the two he mixed
278
00:41:23,327 --> 00:41:27,445
We toyed with Tomorrow Never Knows
which was another of his
279
00:41:27,567 --> 00:41:30,843
We ended up using that
as a song title
280
00:41:33,327 --> 00:41:37,843
I remember us all sitting around
trying to think of stuff
281
00:41:38,207 --> 00:41:40,960
I think John went home
282
00:41:41,287 --> 00:41:46,361
We came up with... With Dick Lester,
we came up with the idea of Help!
283
00:41:46,487 --> 00:41:49,445
Then John went home and happened
to write it that evening
284
00:41:50,567 --> 00:41:55,038
Wait a minute, hold on. That's wrong
285
00:41:55,767 --> 00:41:58,565
John got the idea, I think,
for the title Help!
286
00:41:58,687 --> 00:42:02,726
From things he said later,
I think it was a bit his state of mind
287
00:42:02,847 --> 00:42:06,078
He was feeling a bit constricted
by the whole Beatle thing
288
00:42:06,247 --> 00:42:08,363
He never said that when he wrote it
289
00:42:08,487 --> 00:42:14,323
He said later that was how he felt
and that's why he wrote it
290
00:42:14,647 --> 00:42:17,480
But he was kind of plump
291
00:42:18,447 --> 00:42:23,567
I think that he just didn't feel right
292
00:42:23,727 --> 00:42:26,525
I think it was because he felt
he was a bit...
293
00:42:26,887 --> 00:42:31,005
He called it his fat Elvis period
294
00:42:31,127 --> 00:42:35,882
He got a bit podgy, in his own eyes
295
00:42:36,007 --> 00:42:39,317
That was depressing him a bit
296
00:42:39,567 --> 00:42:43,685
But I think John's done inverviews
and articles about that
297
00:42:43,847 --> 00:42:46,839
I'd go into these troughs
every few years
298
00:42:46,967 --> 00:42:51,199
It was less noticeable in the Beatles,
their image would carry you through
299
00:42:51,327 --> 00:42:55,923
I was in the middle of a trough
in Help! but you can't see it
300
00:42:56,047 --> 00:42:59,164
I'm singing Help! for a kick-off
301
00:42:59,287 --> 00:43:04,964
But you're protected by the image
of the power of the Beatles
302
00:43:08,007 --> 00:43:12,876
Big Night Out TV Show
Blackpool
303
00:45:31,727 --> 00:45:37,996
I used to live in a little flat
at the top of a house
304
00:45:38,127 --> 00:45:43,281
I had a piano by the bed and woke one
morning with this tune in my head
305
00:45:43,407 --> 00:45:49,403
I thought "I don't know this tune,
or do I?" An old jazz tune or something?
306
00:45:49,527 --> 00:45:53,998
My dad knew a lot of old jazz,
maybe I remembered it from somewhere
307
00:45:56,767 --> 00:45:59,565
I went to the piano
and found the chords to it
308
00:45:59,687 --> 00:46:03,885
It was like G, F sharp minor 7, B...
309
00:46:07,007 --> 00:46:10,158
made sure I remembered it
310
00:46:10,287 --> 00:46:15,361
then said to my friends "What's this?
It's got to be something"
311
00:46:15,487 --> 00:46:20,481
I couldn't have written it, I'd just
dreamed it. You don't get that lucky
312
00:46:21,127 --> 00:46:26,520
When he'd got the lyric together,
we decided to record it
313
00:46:26,647 --> 00:46:31,926
I said it's a lovely song,
I can't see what Ringo can do on it
314
00:46:32,047 --> 00:46:35,960
I can't really see what heavy
electric guitars are going to do
315
00:46:36,087 --> 00:46:41,844
Why don't you sing it to me
with a guitar and then decide?
316
00:46:42,167 --> 00:46:45,477
It was good because
all the others, the guys...
317
00:46:45,607 --> 00:46:48,963
I look at them, like ooops...
I mean, a solo record
318
00:46:49,087 --> 00:46:53,285
They said, it doesn't matter.
There's nothing we could add
319
00:46:53,767 --> 00:46:58,921
And so for Paul McCartney of Liverpool,
opportunity knocks!
320
00:49:16,887 --> 00:49:18,878
Thank you, Ringo.
That was wonderful
321
00:49:19,447 --> 00:49:21,802
I remember John listening to it
322
00:49:21,927 --> 00:49:26,318
There's a particular bit where the
cello moves into a kind of bluesy note
323
00:49:26,607 --> 00:49:28,916
John thought that was terrific
324
00:49:29,047 --> 00:49:34,246
It was applauded but it wasn't really
a Beatle record. I said to Brian:
325
00:49:34,367 --> 00:49:37,803
It's Paul's song, shall we call it
"Paul McCartney"? And he said, no!
326
00:49:37,967 --> 00:49:40,765
I can't remember him
making that suggestion
327
00:49:40,887 --> 00:49:44,323
but I wouldn't have done that.
We never entertained those ideas
328
00:49:44,447 --> 00:49:47,723
It was sometimes tempting.
People would flatter you and say...
329
00:49:47,847 --> 00:49:52,796
you should get out front, put this solo
record out, but we always said no
330
00:49:52,927 --> 00:49:57,125
We didn't even ever put it out
as a single in England
331
00:49:57,247 --> 00:50:01,843
We were a bit embarrassed. We were
a rock'n'roll band, a little R&B combo
332
00:50:43,967 --> 00:50:48,995
NME Poll Winners' Concert
London
333
00:52:41,047 --> 00:52:47,043
George's songwriting was painful for him
as he had no one to collaborate with
334
00:52:47,407 --> 00:52:51,366
John and Paul were such
a collaborative duo
335
00:52:51,487 --> 00:52:57,005
They would throw advice to George
but they didn't really work with him
336
00:52:57,727 --> 00:53:01,242
Paul and I really carved up
the empire between us
337
00:53:01,367 --> 00:53:05,679
George didn't even sing when we
brought him in. He was a guitarist
338
00:53:05,807 --> 00:53:09,402
He wasn't in the same league for a long
time. That's not putting him down
339
00:53:09,527 --> 00:53:12,678
He just hadn't had the practice
at writing that we had
340
00:53:12,927 --> 00:53:17,717
They'd been writing
since we were at school
341
00:53:18,047 --> 00:53:23,679
They'd written all -
or most of their bad songs
342
00:53:23,807 --> 00:53:27,004
before we got into
the recording studio
343
00:53:27,127 --> 00:53:30,119
I had to come from nowhere
and start writing
344
00:53:30,247 --> 00:53:34,399
and to have something
at least quality enough
345
00:53:34,527 --> 00:53:38,440
to put in the record
with all their wondrous hits
346
00:53:39,007 --> 00:53:42,716
He wrote Don't Bother Me,
I remember, one of the first ones
347
00:53:42,847 --> 00:53:46,442
Then he started to improve
and eventually...
348
00:53:46,567 --> 00:53:52,517
became very good with a classic -
Something in the Way She Moves
349
00:53:52,647 --> 00:53:57,243
which I think Frank Sinatra
still refers to
350
00:53:57,367 --> 00:54:01,519
as his favourite Lennon-McCartney
song. Thanks, Frank
351
00:54:01,887 --> 00:54:04,959
Now something we don't often do
352
00:54:05,087 --> 00:54:07,920
Give someone a chance to sing
who doesn't often sing
353
00:54:08,047 --> 00:54:12,438
All out of key and nervous,
singing Act Naturally... Ringo!
354
00:56:48,687 --> 00:56:52,316
Thank you very much, everybody
355
00:56:52,927 --> 00:56:55,077
It's lovely to be here
356
00:56:55,207 --> 00:57:00,679
We'd like to carry on with a song
which is our record before...
357
00:57:01,927 --> 00:57:06,443
This one's called Ticket to Ride
358
00:57:06,647 --> 00:57:11,357
I liked it because it was...
slightly a new sound at the time
359
00:57:11,487 --> 00:57:15,844
I used to like guitars. I don't want
anything else on the album -
360
00:57:15,967 --> 00:57:19,039
jangling piano, or whatever
361
00:57:19,167 --> 00:57:22,318
It's a heavy record, you know
362
00:59:32,767 --> 00:59:35,235
George Harrison MBE
363
00:59:36,047 --> 00:59:38,515
John Lennon MBE
364
00:59:39,567 --> 00:59:41,558
Ringo Starr MBE
365
00:59:43,607 --> 00:59:45,359
and Paul McCartney MBE
366
00:59:46,127 --> 00:59:50,723
We were in Twickenham film studios
when Brian showed up
367
00:59:50,847 --> 00:59:54,840
He took us to the dressing room rather
secretively. What's this about?
368
00:59:55,207 --> 00:59:58,005
Brian said:
369
00:59:58,887 --> 01:00:01,879
They want to give you these MBEs
370
01:00:02,407 --> 01:00:06,116
We're going to accept.
What do you think, boys?
371
01:00:06,567 --> 01:00:10,685
At first we were very impressed.
We said, what does it mean?
372
01:00:10,807 --> 01:00:16,404
You become a Member of the British
Empire. We were honoured, genuinely
373
01:00:16,767 --> 01:00:19,964
The lowest honour
that you could possibly get
374
01:00:20,527 --> 01:00:24,805
The cynicism crept in and we said,
what do you get for it?
375
01:00:24,927 --> 01:00:29,796
He said, �40 a year,
and we said, yeah
376
01:00:30,487 --> 01:00:36,244
He said, you can go into St Paul's
whispering gallery for nothing
377
01:00:36,367 --> 01:00:39,598
How much does it cost, anyway?
He said, about a shilling
378
01:00:39,767 --> 01:00:44,045
I can't really remember any sort of
Daily Mirror reaction, 'how dare they'
379
01:00:44,167 --> 01:00:48,319
A lot of the army...
that was the only other reaction...
380
01:00:48,647 --> 01:00:51,844
was soldiers sent theirs back
381
01:00:52,047 --> 01:00:57,724
This is a protest to the Queen
because this Order is being debased
382
01:00:57,847 --> 01:01:01,522
by giving this to people
who are not deserving of it
383
01:01:01,887 --> 01:01:06,199
The Beatles are already rewarded
with a tremendous amount of money
384
01:01:06,687 --> 01:01:09,804
If I had the MBE
385
01:01:09,927 --> 01:01:15,001
I should be put out at being placed
on the same level as a pop singer
386
01:01:15,407 --> 01:01:18,444
I don't think it was
a good idea to return them
387
01:01:18,567 --> 01:01:24,915
I undertand the surprise that the
Beatles would be given the award
388
01:01:25,367 --> 01:01:28,439
It's a little ridiculous on both sides
389
01:01:28,567 --> 01:01:32,082
One side values the honour too highly
and the other too lowly
390
01:01:32,487 --> 01:01:37,117
This medal raises the qustion:
where is the British Empire?
391
01:01:37,527 --> 01:01:40,803
It's purely honorary.
I don't think it has any value at all
392
01:01:41,327 --> 01:01:44,524
Someone always takes exception
to someone else getting something
393
01:01:45,487 --> 01:01:47,603
Most people were pleased
394
01:01:47,727 --> 01:01:51,606
It's a very good thing,
they deserved it
395
01:01:51,727 --> 01:01:54,195
They're great
396
01:01:55,247 --> 01:01:57,397
I think they deserved it
397
01:01:57,567 --> 01:01:59,876
I think the MBE is a bit of a joke
398
01:02:00,007 --> 01:02:04,000
Hundreds of people have got it in
the past, why not the Beatles?
399
01:02:04,207 --> 01:02:05,481
I think they're great
400
01:02:05,927 --> 01:02:07,519
I'm glad everyone's delighted
401
01:02:07,847 --> 01:02:11,806
They deserve everything they've got.
They're very clever people
402
01:02:12,127 --> 01:02:16,803
They're young, vital, and they give
this country a kick and a lift
403
01:02:16,927 --> 01:02:18,918
And, my God, we need it
404
01:02:19,327 --> 01:02:24,162
How do you like having an MBE?
- Great. We're honoured
405
01:02:24,367 --> 01:02:27,359
I thought it was really thrilling
406
01:02:28,207 --> 01:02:31,597
We're going to meet the Queen
and they're going to give us a badge
407
01:02:31,727 --> 01:02:33,718
We thought, this is cool
408
01:02:34,487 --> 01:02:37,763
Buckingham Palace
London
In days gone by, they'd storm
the Royal Palace gates
409
01:02:37,887 --> 01:02:41,163
demanding bread or the right to vote,
or some other civil right
410
01:02:41,287 --> 01:02:43,801
These days, it's all for the Beatles
411
01:02:43,927 --> 01:02:50,082
The mop-haired quartet receive
their MBEs from the Queen today
412
01:03:45,327 --> 01:03:49,366
It was good fun. We ended up
at the Palace. Quite strange
413
01:03:49,487 --> 01:03:54,402
An equerry to the Queen,
a guardsman
414
01:03:54,527 --> 01:03:58,679
took us into a side room
and showed us what we had to do
415
01:03:58,807 --> 01:04:03,358
"You approach Her Majesty like this,
and never turn your back on her"
416
01:04:03,527 --> 01:04:06,963
The other part I remember...
417
01:04:07,327 --> 01:04:09,795
Paul and I went up together
418
01:04:10,607 --> 01:04:15,237
and first she said...
she felt I had started the band
419
01:04:15,367 --> 01:04:17,927
I said no, I was the last to join
420
01:04:18,047 --> 01:04:22,359
She said, well, how long have
you been together?
421
01:04:22,487 --> 01:04:26,116
Without a blink, both Paul and I said:
422
01:04:26,607 --> 01:04:30,122
We've been together nowfor forty years
423
01:04:31,767 --> 01:04:37,524
She just had this strange look on her
face like she wanted to...
424
01:04:37,647 --> 01:04:43,085
I don't know, laugh, or 'off with their
heads! ' You know what I mean
425
01:04:43,967 --> 01:04:46,879
Had you met the Queen before?
- No, first time
426
01:04:47,007 --> 01:04:49,202
What did she think of you in the flesh?
Did she tell you?
427
01:04:49,327 --> 01:04:55,118
No, she's not going to say, but she
seemed pleasant, made us relaxed
428
01:04:55,607 --> 01:05:01,284
We were standing in line, waiting
to go through, hundreds of people
429
01:05:01,407 --> 01:05:06,037
We'd been grilled by the guardsman,
saying, this is what you do
430
01:05:06,167 --> 01:05:11,400
We were so nervous,
we went to the toilet
431
01:05:11,527 --> 01:05:16,965
We smoked a cigarette there -
we were all smokers in those days
432
01:05:17,087 --> 01:05:22,878
But years later, I'm sure John...
thinking back and remembering:
433
01:05:23,007 --> 01:05:27,319
"We went in the toilet and smoked"
and it turned into a reefer
434
01:05:27,447 --> 01:05:31,918
Because the worst thing to do before
meeting the Queen is smoke a reefer
435
01:05:32,047 --> 01:05:34,561
But we never
436
01:05:35,287 --> 01:05:39,280
I was too stoned to remember.
I don't know
437
01:05:53,927 --> 01:05:56,361
After all we did for Great Britain
438
01:05:56,487 --> 01:06:01,880
selling all that corduroy
and making it swing
439
01:06:02,127 --> 01:06:07,599
they just gave us a bloody old leather
medal with wooden string through it
440
01:06:24,087 --> 01:06:29,719
It was like the whole momentum had
been going for years. It kept rolling
441
01:06:29,887 --> 01:06:31,798
And now we were playing stadiums
442
01:06:32,407 --> 01:06:38,039
That was in the days people were still
playing the Finsbury Park Astoria
443
01:06:38,167 --> 01:06:40,237
And to play at Shea Stadium...
444
01:07:26,127 --> 01:07:28,595
Now, ladies and gentlemen
445
01:07:29,487 --> 01:07:32,320
Honoured by their country
446
01:07:32,887 --> 01:07:35,879
decorated by their Queen
447
01:07:36,407 --> 01:07:38,557
and loved here in America...
448
01:07:38,687 --> 01:07:40,439
Here are the Beatles!
