The Beatles live in 1964

[Joe Martens]

What an awesome video! Thanks for sharing. It's amazing how much music they put out in the relatively short time they were together. I bought their box set about a year ago with I think 16 or 17 cd's! I have an 11 year old niece the loves the Beatles. It sure is a breath of fresh air to see someone as young as her to appreciate their music, and not all the crap music kids listen to nowadays!

About a month ago I taught my 3 year old grandson "Here Comes The Sun",, took about 3 replays off the old Abbey Road CD to do it. I've been a Beatles fan and collector since that Sunday night, in February of '64, when Ed Sullivan introduced them to us. I've picked up some pretty rare stuff over the years.
The thing I like about Youtube is you can put quite a concert together if you want. I drew up a list of somewhat forgotten groups and acts from the '60s recently, then sat down and chased them down on Youtube and had a great time doing it.
One of my favorite Beatles set of videos from Youtube is from typing in: Beatles Shea Stadium,, it was quite a night,,, wish I could've been there.
Like Jeff said,, Paul Mc Cartney is still a great concert to take in if you get a chance,,, saw him a couple years ago, and about an hour into it, the band decided to take a break, so they left the stage, but Paul stayed out there for about another hour himself, doing piano solos, guitar solos, even a ukelelei tribute to George which was pretty cool, the band members came back and Paul never stopped until the end of the night. Not bad for a guy whos' 70 this year, and still sounds great.

Hey old timers remember the 8 track? In my opinion the best musical group ever. They changed the way we listen to music and more. I was Lucky to have seen them at Shea.

I remember how the nuns at my Catholic school were outraged at the Beatles' long hair.

They were on the cover of Time or Life, can't remember which, and my grandfather cancelled his magazine subscription! He didn't get it.

My folks actually did get it. In 1965 I told my dad I wanted to be a drummer. He bought me a snare drum and paid for lessons that taught me a bunch of percussion fundamentals as well as the intricacies of reading percussion sheet music. Later that year I started playing school bands - marching bands, concert bands and orchestra. In 1966 I talked my dad into buying me a small, used drum set. That took some real talking on my part, because he and my mom both knew that meant some extended periods of rather loud noises at home. By 1969, I graduated to a Gretsch double bass with 5 toms, and was jamming with any and every band I could find. I continued to drum for about 15 years. I couldn't find a band that wanted to get really serious about making music. All that most of them wanted to do was get high and pick up girls. That might sound fun to some, but to me it wasn't. I sold my drums and just walked away. I did love playing in the 1970's, but by the 1980's the fun just kinda went away.
