World. She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah, she loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. This is beatleland, formerly known as britain, where an epidemic called beatlemania has seized the teenaged population, especially female. Cbs, they do a story on what they probably think is a goofy band from england thats doing quite well. These four boys from liverpool with their dishmop hairstyles are britains latest musical, and in fact, sociological phenomenon. They symbolize the 20th century nonhero, as they make nonmusic, wear nonhaircuts, give nonmercy. Meanwhile, yeah, yeah, yeah, this is Alexander Kendrick in beatleland. Some little girl heard just a hint of what the beatles were about and starts calling her local deejay. The local deejay asks his friend to bring over a beatles record from england and has the vision to put it on and hear that theres something happening. So, Marcia Albert of dublin drive of Silver Spring has the honor of introducing something brand new, an exclusive here at wwdc. Marcia, the microphone on the carol james show, is yours. Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time on the air in the united states, here are the beatles singing i want to hold your hand. Oh, yeah, ill tell you something i think youll understand that song really started to take off. It was impossible to anticipate how much that momentum would continue. I want to hold your hand hi, everybody all over america. This is the wabc party go go, whoo i want to hold your hand that song was absolutely contagious, and i think the teenager found a voice. I cant hide heres whats happening, baby, the beatles i cant hide yeah, you got that something there was a moment where you just heard, this is our music now. It was like hearing the future. I wanna hold your hand but i have to ask how you first found out about them. When i first heard about the beatles, it was at london airport, with an enormous crowd of kids gathered around. Sylvia and i asked them what was going on, and they said the beatles were here. We didnt even know who the beatles were, never heard of them. And that night, i booked ringo starr, paul mccartney, George Harrison and john lennon for three shows for 10,000. You know, for four white guys who are british, to come out of nowhere and be everywhere was quite unbelievable. The beatles are a bunch of guys from liverpool. I mean, people in london would have looked down at liverpool back then, but liverpool was a port town, and these port towns become places where all sorts of contraband gets exchanged, and one of them at that point was great music. A lot of the sailors and people that were coming back from america were bringing back these records. Some were pop records, some were called race records because they were by black artists. Oh maybelline why cant you be true oh maybelline why cant you be true the level of influence that american rock and roll, blues, country and western, motown had on those kids growing up in england was really amazing. All my love, all my kisses, you dont know what youve been missing, oh, boy when youre with me, oh, boy so, i would listen to buddy holly and gene vincent and jerry lee lewis, fats domino, all of the great rock n rollers. On Blueberry Hill it was like a new language for us. The power of the jukebox, theres nothing quite like it. My dream came true the beatles took a bunch of those strains, the Everly Brothers from the 50s, the big influence for them with the harmonies. Wake up, little susie, wake up wake up little susie wake up so the beatles from liverpool are taking this pop sound but putting their own spin on it. What is the sound . How does it differ from other rock n roll and pop . It just happened that, all of a sudden, hundreds of rock groups all from liverpool made records, and it was a bit more like the original rock n roll than the stuff theyve had over the last few months. Initially, there was no tradition of Great British bands conquering america. That had not happened, but its that moment where everything turns. Theres no single moment that more embodies the moment when rock n roll became the province of teenagers. Thats something that you would not just love but that you would go crazy for. Theres the beatles cant buy me love love cant buy me love the beatles have come to this country and taken all the women away and everybodys going crazy about them. Ill get you anything it was like aliens landed. Look at how they look and how they act, and wow i dont care too much for money money cant buy me love i came here at 6 00 in the morning to see them and all they do is push them farther and farther away. And then they dont even let you see them ive got every beatle record at home, and we didnt get to see them what kind of Police Protection . Id have liked to get a piece of beatles, please the way they got them out of here paul, ringo, george, john. The reporters had the same attitude that most adults in america had, which was no one took musicians seriously. They didnt understand anything about youth culture. Cut that crap out cut that crap out hey, murray. The press had gone into this with the idea that this was a youthful novelty that could be dismissed and maybe even deflated in a press conference. Are you going to get a haircut at all . No, no. I had one yesterday. You guys are nothing but a bunch of british elvis presleys. Its not true, its not true will you sing something . No sorry no, we need money first. When you saw them sparring with the press it was just another aspect of them that made them even more unique. Tomorrow night at 7 00, the beatles read their own poetry on a documentary, meet the beatles, all over the world. Oh, really . I dont get that. I dont understand this. If elvis was the first wave of mega fandom, then the beatles sort of blew that out of the water, to the point where even elvis was losing sleep. The city never has witnessed the excitement stirred by these youngsters from liverpool. Ladies and gentlemen, the beatles igarette cravings hit, all i can think about is getting relief. Only nicorette mini has a patented fastdissolving formula. It starts to relieve sudden cravings fast. I never know when ill need relief. Thats why i only choose nicorette mini. Isnt it beautiful when things just come together . Build a beautiful website with squarespace. Gonna blow their minds this year ho ho ho. Mmm mmm mmm mm mmm mm mmmmm ladies and gentlemen one, two, three, four well she was just 17 you know what i mean and the way she looked the beatles showed up with their great sense of humor, their completely infectious pop songs, their whoo, you know, their everything. It was just impossible not to fall in love with them. As soon as they started playing on the ed sullivan show, we all knew, theyre playing live, because that doesnt sound like the record. [ cheers and applause ] the idea of driving, swinging r b mixed with imaginative wordplay and lyrics and harmonies and the perfect threeminute record, they defined it. Whoo, when i saw her standing there the beatles took this dream of what america represented, the freedom that was in american music, and they brought it back to us with an excitement and a ferocity that we didnt have, and with longer hair. And the way she looked was way beyond compare 73 Million People watched that night. Since i saw her standing there yeah when the beatles did the sullivan show, everything at the Radio Station changed. There were no more requests other than the beatles. Looking back, i believe without ed sullivan, there wouldnt have been a british invasion. Gerry and the pacemakers. It wasnt just the beatles. The british invasion had legs because there was more great music to back it up. A big hello from us. Rick. Im larry. Im dennis. Im dave. For the First Six Months they were singing, they sold over a million records a month. And in the words of one of their biggest hit songs, were mighty glad all over to have them with us tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, the dave clark five. You say that you love me say you love me all of the time all of the time you say that you need me say you need me youll always be mine always be mine im feeling glad all over yes im glad all over baby im glad all over so glad youre mine theyre rivaling the beatles now as the top Singing Group in britain. How do you feel about that . Were really very pleased, but i dont think youd say wed be rivals. Weve got a completely different sound. We were the first band to tour america. We did i think it was 46 cities. Then you realized youve made it. Suddenly, its like the gates of hell are opened. Something tells me im into something good something tells me i mean, every transatlantic ocean liner seems to have another british band that rockets up to the top of the american charts. So ferry cross the mersey and always take me there there was this powder keg of energy from the young people in england and it touched the flame to the fuse and boom. We are walking down the highways and byways maybe shes not there, but theyre here and theyre the zombies but its too late to say youre sorry how would i know why should i care please dont bother trying to find her shes not there well let me tell you about the way she looked the way she acts and the color of her hair her voice was soft and cool her eye were clear and bright, but shes not there i loved the zombies, because they were keyboard oriented. Rod argent, the first guy to really develop the idea of rock n roll soloing on a keyboard. A firsttime welcome now for the top four with their top hit you really got me going, the kinks girl you really got me going you got me so i dont know what im doing the kinks were already a very big band in the uk. But if you break in america, you break big and you sell a lot of records. Yeah you really got me now you got me so i dont know what im doing oh yeah you really got me now you got me so i cant sleep at night you really got me you really got me you really got me before you were called the animals, you had another name. What made you change it to the animals . Well, because we were a bunch of animals. The animals were a grittier, r bbased band with eric burdon, who wasnt cute like a beatle. He was a little more dangerous. Now youre going to do the new record for us . Yeah. And its called . The house of the rising sun. That song was a song that bob dylan had already recorded a year or two earlier, like a folk traditional song. Bob came along with his album, house of the rising sun. It was crying out to be rocked. My mother was a tailor she sewed my new blue jeans yeah my father was a gambling man down in new orleans the English Group music thing also arose where groups not only were performing their own stuff compact on the stage, they didnt need anyone else. They just had the four blokes with their amplifiers and guitars and they could the lot. The who are just sort of like in that catalytic converter of rock n roll. They were maybe the most explosive musical unit. Yeah, it was interesting. The beatles all lock in and play together and help each other. Im daddy Rolling Stone the who is like four different creatures who werent even like noticing each other. Everyone in the who was like the lead player in the who. All these great bands created this thirst in music, but the ones that really had the true, true talent have really stood the test of time. Five singing boys from england who have sold a lot of albiums albums. [ laughter ] theyre called the Rolling Stones. Ive been rolled while i was stoned myself. I dont know what theyre going to sing about, but here they are at it. I dont want you to be no slave i dont want you to work all day i dont want you to be true i just want to make love to you here come the stones.

When we first started playing together, we started playing because we wanted to play rhythm and blues, and howlin wolf was one of our idols and its a great pleasure hes booked on the show. So, i think its time we shut up and we let howlin wolf on stage. How many more years that i have to let you dog me around the Rolling Stones invite howlin wolf, who is a 60yearold black man from the south side of chicago who never in a million years would have been on shindig, and there he is. You dont believe a word i said the stones clearly wore their heart on their sleeve for blues and r b. You can hear traces of delta blues inside of keiths guitar. They tried to be as authentic to the core as possible, even so much that their first few American Recordings were done in chess in chicago. The dogs begin to bark the hounds begin to howl the chicago kids rhythm and blues, thats where it started. You know, the white people over there know nothing about rhythm and blues at all. Because its negro music, isnt it . In america, even in the black community had abandoned certain aspects of black culture. Even by the mid60s. The blues in particular had been sort of pushed aside by soul music and r b, which was considered more modern. Pretty little women stand in a line make love to you baby the stones, the animals, the yardbirds, the british groups picked up the american blues, where the americans had kind of let it go. And in a strange way, we were taking back to america what america had given us, which was american music. Gonna have a lot of fun, oh, yeah, baby, whoo you and chuck have kind of taken england by storm. How do you feel about other people borrowing your material . Im very grateful to know that my material is the type of material that the entertainers today would like to use. Long tall sally oh baby yeah yeah baby ooh baby the british invasion played a huge role in not just introducing themselves to america, but reintroducing a lot of black music to mainstream america. Its gonna be all right all right all right its gonna be all right get my way i will stay close by your side to keep you satisfied its gonna be all right all right all right its gonna be all right the same year the beatles play on ed sullivan for the first time is the same year the t. A. M. I. Show comes out as a movie, and t. A. M. I. Shows got everybody. T. A. M. I. Show is really the first rock n roll concert movie. The stones headlining, and the first time that us white kids got to see james brown and nobody will ever get over it. Got your highheeled sneakers on everyone remembers james browns performance. He gave them what black audiences had been seeing for years but had not really been seen outside of the black community, and people were electrified by it. James brown just kills the show. Just, like, whats the phrase they have in gospel music . He wrecks house. And it really began his journey into becoming a mainstream figure. Babe, babe, babe, babe the stones then close, and they refer to it as the biggest mistake they ever made following james brown. What a crazy town never stop rockin until the moon went down we see, you know, jagger coming alive, you know, doing things that he hadnt done before. It was great, because youre seeing a seasoned professional with james brown, and a young performer and band figuring out who the hell they are.

Its been a hard days night hard days night sort of perfectly encapsulated beatlemania. It is the most perfect representation of 1964 beatles. Brian epstein said, if the beatles were going to go, they were going to go big. And they went big. The fact that the beatles were exposed as writers of hit songs exposed them to the public even more than perhaps just a pop singing idol would. And its worth it just to hear you say they made the announcement that they were going to tour america. Youre going to give me everything the beatles wanted 25,000. Well, i didnt have 25,000. And so, i borrowed 25,000 on the house. There were no computers, but we sold it out in 3 1 2 hours. 17,000 screaming youngsters have jammed their way into the huge amphitheater. But theyre the lucky ones. Outside, thousands of others were not so fortunate. Here they are, the beatles let you down, let you down and leave you flat im going to let you down and leave you flat because i told you before oh you cant do that the beatles output was phenomenal. They seemed to always be either touring, making a movie or making a record. No, you cant do that hello. See these little fellows . Theyre the beatles. Inflatable beatles. Theyre yours for just 2. The best things in life are free they had posters and magazines and stickers and dolls and cartoons. Like this is the start of where the teenager becomes the most desirable target for the dollar. I lived in the projects in brooklyn, you know, in a black community, and the beatles were everywhere. So it wasnt like this was a white phenomenon. They were everywhere. Thats what i want the beatles created a rock industry. They were selling in ways no one had ever sold before, and they were playing venues that were bigger than anyone had ever played before. Ladies and gentlemen, honored by their country, decorated by their queen and loved here in america, here are the beatles [ cheers and applause ] help me if you can im feeling down and i do appreciate you being around help me get my feet back on the ground wont you please please help me help me help me ooh how are you actually planning to spend this money . What money . He says. Doesnt he give any to you . No, no. Have you seen that car of his . The beatles taught every other band that writing your own music made you more powerful. That last lines got i think whats really funny about a band like the stones is they did tons of covers on their first couple albums. It wasnt until they really figured out how to write their own songs that they really became a real band. They really had to find their own voice. I cant get no satisfaction i cant get no satisfaction cause i tried and i tried and i tried and i tried i cant get no i cant get no when im driving in my car and a man comes on the radio hes telling me more and more about some useless information supposed to buy my imagination i cant get no no no no there was a dialogue going on between soul music and the british invasion. A, because this is a way for me to make a nod to the mainstream. And b, because the songs were good. I cant get me no oh no no i cant get me no satisfactions fantastic. He doesnt even know the words even, he doesnt care. Hes just kind of singing the song. Keep trying to find me somebody somebody to love at the time, motown and the british invasion, theyre going hand in hand with sort of redefining what america dances and listens and socializes to. Motown, it evolved with the rest of the world, but we did have to compete with this british invasion for places on the charts. Really got a hold on me i said you really got a hold on me the first time i heard you really got a hold on me by the beatles, i was very, very, very happy. I dont like you but i love you the beatles chose one of my songs. And they wrote great songs oh, i, i, i, i did something wrong now i long for yesterday isnt it beautiful when things just come together . Build a beautiful website with squarespace.

It wasnt really what the beatles were doing or the stones were doing or the kinks were doing or any of those rock n roll bands. And for a period of time there was this distinction between the folk culture and the rock n roll culture. Hey mr. Tambourine man play a song for me im not sleepy and there is no place im going to in 1964, during that first tour, the beatles had the opportunity to meet bob dylan. He understood what they were doing musically, and they were awakened by the more personal perspective of his songs. Dylan was a huge influence on john lennon. I think it inspired him to write more serious songs, deeper songs and be more experimental lyrically. I once had a girl or should i say she once had me bob dylan going electric is another one of those big seismic changes in the pop music era in the 60s. He was bold enough to leave his comfort zone. I aint going to work on maggies farm no more its not just about dylan going electric, but its also about the fusion of an emerging tradition in popular music that was really political, with rock n roll which had largely not been overtly political. Theres nothing like the feeling of your audience not being with you and walking out on you. People took it personally. You know, who needs him anymore . Hes a part of your establishment and forget him. Theyre all my friends. They felt betrayed, like youre supposed to be our Woody Guthrie and you sold out. How does it feel how does it feel to be on your own with no direction home not only did he take it, but he managed to just chokehold them all and make them see his vision. Like a Rolling Stone other musicians started bringing poetry and politics and soulsearching to popular music. Men shall know and men shall see we all are brothers and we all are free it was obvious to me and the hollies that we had a responsibility as artists to reflect our world around us, and we utilized our music to be able to reach people. Pop musicians in todays generation are in a fantastic position. They could rule the world, man. Well, i dont argue they could rule the world, so why dont we do more of it . We can stop world wars before they ever started. I disagree. I dont believe you know who starts world wars . I for one you know who start world wars . People that are over 40. Really, really that conversation was unstoppable. You couldnt shut it down. Hes oh so good and hes oh so fine and hes oh so healthy in his body and his mind hes a wellrespected man about town doing the best things so conservatively i think ray davies from the kinks and Pete Townshend from the who were the two social commentators. People try to put us down talking about my generation just because we get around, talking about my generation things they do look awful cold talking about my generation hope i die before i get old talking about my generation its my generation, baby, why dont you all fade away talking about my generation you dont try to dig what we all say talking about my generation not trying to cause a big sensation talking about my generation every political move, nation to nation, is really to try and break down these barriers between people. My generation all of them were obsessively listening to one another. And what became the game was, who can take rock n roll someplace more interesting . If i needed someone to love youre the one that id be thinking of if i needed someone you know, records had been two or three of your singles, some covers of some other artists song, and just a bunch of filler. Rubber soul basically started the idea of the record as a complete statement. Thats really a gamechanger. In my life i love you more i think that brian and the beach boys felt that he didnt fit into this new british invasion thing that was happening. Round round get around i get around get around oohh round round round round i get around when the beach boys heard rubber soul, brian wilson was inspired to try to create something as pure and beautiful and this album of everything was great. I remember going over to brians house, and i looked into the living room and i saw that everything had been taken out except the piano. And the living room was completely filled with sand.

In the mid60s, you see brian wilson retreating into the studio, and hes concentrating on writing and producing these amazing songs. I may not always love you, but long as there are stars above you the Recording Studio had been a rigid place where there were engineers literally in like suits and ties and lab coats. When all of a sudden, there were these crazy young geniuses who reinvented the studio as an instrument to be played with. God only knows what id be without you technology is evolving for how to record, and brian wilson was absolutely on the cutting edge of that. Wouldnt it be nice if we were older and we wouldnt have to wait so long music in the 60s was like any great art movement. The greatest practitioners of it pushed one another to be better. The mike on the piano is quite low. In the studio, the beatles natural creativity was sort of brimming over, and George Martin was a brilliant collaborator and champion of that. Run back the tape, please, would you . You can slow down or speed up the tape. You can put in backwards stuff. You can put in electronic sounds that you couldnt possibly reproduce live. Something happens on air, i couldnt tell you what because we have a special man who sits here and goes like this, and the guitar turns into a piano or something, you know. And then you may say, why dont you use a piano . Because the piano sounds like a guitar. Were Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band there were fm Radio Stations that did nothing but play Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band over and over after it first came out because thats all anybody wanted to listen to. Lucy in the sky with diamonds sergeant peppers became the thing. You dropped the needle on it, youd hear a little crackle, and then youd be taken away on this journey. I read the news today, oh, boy sergeant pepper was our opera. It sounded unlike anything we were used to. The 60s, lyrics are generally infantile and its noise, not music. But the sergeant pepper album was a brilliant album, signifying a break from the old ways of being entertained. It really caught the moment. Pop music is crucial to todays art, and its crucial that it should remain art, and it is crucial that it should progress as art. Pleased to meet you all now hope you guess my name the british invasion changed pretty much everything. It was not just a sound or a band or a phenomenon, but it was the beginning of the most powerful decade in popular music. Religion was being forced down in monterey rock n roll music was very important in the growth of the society. We were able to speak our minds. We did shake up the world. Theres no desire in any of our heads to sort of take over the world, you know. There is, however, a desire to get power in order to use it for good. Love love love how many people that you started loving in 1964 do you still love . The beatles and the british invasion may be the greatest love story, in a cultural sense, thats ever been. All you need is love all together now all you need is love everybody all you need is love, love, love is all you need love is all you need, love is all you need love is all you need, love is all you need love is all you need, love is all you need love is all you need, love is all you need love is all you need, love is all you need love is all you need, love is all you need love is all you need, love is all you need love is all you need, love is all you need love is all you need, love is all you need love is all you need, love is all you need love is all you need love is all you need oh yeah she loves you yeah yeah yeah she loves you yeah yeah yeah love is all you need the enemy of freedom has chosen to make this year the decisive one. Somethings going to happen. The change is on the way. We can change america. We can change the world. What we need now is a reconciliation in this land. Theres not anything wrong with you that a good hair cut wouldnt cure. Rest assured we democrats will stir it up. This Election Year of 1968 has touched emotions. I think we have too much violence in this country. We go up together, or we go down together. And we have that understanding for our fellow citizens, we will have a new america, and i need h
