  • 00:03:05
    Hamburg
  • 00:03:06
    Germany none of them had been abroad
  • 00:03:09
    before and suddenly where in this

    neonlit street was all sorts of sex
  • 00:03:14
    shops and
  • 00:03:16
    gangsters uh on the door and they were

    apprenticeship in Hamburg they worked
  • 00:03:28
    sometimes from uh 6:00 at night till
  • 00:03:32
    3:00 in the morning and they exploded on
  • 00:03:35
    stage the bouncers thought oh my God
  • 00:03:37
    there's a fight and it wasn't it was the
  • 00:03:39
    explosion of The
  • 00:03:41
    Beatles and then we went back to
  • 00:03:43
    Liverpool and got a quite a few bookings
  • 00:03:45
    you know they all thought we were German
  • 00:03:47
    know we Builders from Hamburg and they
  • 00:03:49
    all said you speak good English and
  • 00:03:51
    Brian suggested that we just sort of
  • 00:03:53
    wore ordinary suits so we just got what
  • 00:03:56
    we thought were quite good
  • 00:03:57
    suits just got rid of the other
  • 00:04:00
    bands like ourselves and the Beatles And
  • 00:04:02
    The Big Three and the Searchers and
  • 00:04:04
    every on we all tried to be unique and
  • 00:04:07
    play our own type of music what we liked
  • 00:04:09
    and tried to get our own sound and
  • 00:04:10
    because we all were resident at the
  • 00:04:12
    cavern Club it was uh that was the place
  • 00:04:15
    to come and see all the bands it wasn't
  • 00:04:17
    just the music when you went to see The
  • 00:04:19
    Beatles you knew you were you were going
  • 00:04:21
    to come out on a high an absolute high
  • 00:04:23
    this is uh Matthew Street this is where
  • 00:04:25
    the cabin Club was a really Raven Place
  • 00:04:28
    in the' 60s um started off as a tread
  • 00:04:32
    jazz club and then uh The Swinging blue
  • 00:04:34
    jeans made the place very popular with
  • 00:04:36
    the blue jeans uh night out and then the
  • 00:04:40
    Beatles started to play here and all the
  • 00:04:43
    other groups like The Searchers and
  • 00:04:44
    Jerry and The Pacemakers and uh this is
  • 00:04:46
    where the cavern was um people ask me
  • 00:04:49
    about the cavern and I always tell them
  • 00:04:52
    that it was sweaty and smelled but to me
  • 00:04:56
    it was the best rock and roll place that
  • 00:04:58
    uh ever was you know and in the early
  • 00:05:00
    60s it was a place where kids could rock
  • 00:05:03
    and roll and have fun without anybody
  • 00:05:05
    getting on their backs and it was a
  • 00:05:07
    tremendous atmosphere and I don't know
  • 00:05:09
    why but I always thought that the
  • 00:05:12
    Beatles sounded better at the cavern
  • 00:05:14
    than anywhere you know they were a lot
  • 00:05:17
    more ballsy than the
  • 00:05:18
    records Brian Epstein when he went down
  • 00:05:21
    to the cabern which is Brian hung out in
  • 00:05:24
    a completely different world he was rich
  • 00:05:27
    he had a successful family successful
  • 00:05:29
    Furniture business that had a small
  • 00:05:31
    record store in it which is how people
  • 00:05:33
    kept coming in saying he you got that um
  • 00:05:36
    that record of The Beatles and Tony
  • 00:05:37
    sherid and that my Bonny Lies over there
  • 00:05:39
    have you got that record and after like
  • 00:05:41
    the 40th time of kids coming in asking
  • 00:05:43
    him for the record well you know maybe I
  • 00:05:45
    better get this record and he stocked
  • 00:05:48
    the record in he sold it out he got
  • 00:05:50
    another thousand he sold that out and he
  • 00:05:52
    said what who are these kids and so well
  • 00:05:55
    they're playing at this place called the
  • 00:05:56
    cavern why don't you go down and check
  • 00:05:57
    them out the Beatles
  • 00:06:00
    were then just Four Lads on that rather
  • 00:06:03
    dimly lit stage I was immediately struck
  • 00:06:06
    by the their music their beat and uh
  • 00:06:10
    their sense of humor actually on stage
  • 00:06:12
    and even afterwards when I met them I
  • 00:06:14
    was struck again by their personal
  • 00:06:16
    charm and uh it was there that really it
  • 00:06:20
    all
  • 00:06:21
    started we do like the fans and enjoy
  • 00:06:25
    reading the publicity about us but from
  • 00:06:28
    time to time you don't realize that it's
  • 00:06:31
    actually about yourself and once when
  • 00:06:34
    the boys came for me they popped in to
  • 00:06:36
    see me Mom and me dad you know we had to
  • 00:06:38
    go the back cuz you know there's 20 or
  • 00:06:40
    30 outside and they wouldn't believe me
  • 00:06:43
    but you know they knock in saying can we
  • 00:06:45
    have the
  • 00:06:49
    autographs the beaters came down
  • 00:06:51
    themselves about uh half 2 in the
  • 00:06:53
    morning 3:00 and they were talking to us
  • 00:06:56
    and um signing autographs and then they
  • 00:06:59
    went to away and then we sort of all sat
  • 00:07:01
    down and some of the lazy ones sort of
  • 00:07:04
    fell asleep but the rest of us just kept
  • 00:07:06
    awake on coffee and dreams with the
  • 00:07:16
    [Music]
  • 00:07:26
    Beetles take it a baby
  • 00:07:39
    [Music]
  • 00:07:43
    The Beatles were like gift from God I
  • 00:07:46
    was just at the perfect age for that
  • 00:07:51
    14 gave us all an
  • 00:07:54
    idenity
  • 00:07:56
    and I I've thought before just for the
  • 00:07:59
    the music it was such a bonus that the
  • 00:08:01
    music was like the best music
  • 00:08:05
    [Music]
  • 00:08:20
    ever I was Beatles all the way and I was
  • 00:08:23
    my my bedroom wall was in fact
  • 00:08:27
    completely covered the walls ceilings
  • 00:08:29
    doors any any Beetle pictures were stuck
  • 00:08:32
    on my wall and I and I I used to have
  • 00:08:35
    these fantasies of poor McCartney
  • 00:08:38
    marrying my sister and all this kind of
  • 00:08:40
    crazy stuff you know and how wonderful
  • 00:08:42
    it all was you're going over to the
  • 00:08:44
    states early in the new year and you're
  • 00:08:46
    going to top the bill on the Ed Sullivan
  • 00:08:48
    Coast to Coast show John so far all
  • 00:08:51
    British pop stars have not made a
  • 00:08:52
    tremendous impact on the states how do
  • 00:08:54
    you think you're going to Fair well I
  • 00:08:57
    can't really say can I I mean is it up
  • 00:08:59
    to mean no I mean I just hope we go all
  • 00:09:01
    right you know are you going to vary
  • 00:09:03
    your act at all for the American
  • 00:09:04
    audience no I mean we haven't really got
  • 00:09:06
    an act so we'll just do what we do I
  • 00:09:08
    went to New York with the boys and you
  • 00:09:11
    would see men of you know middle-aged
  • 00:09:14
    men walking down Fifth Avenue with
  • 00:09:15
    Beetle wigs on their heads and no matter
  • 00:09:18
    where you turned your dial on your radio
  • 00:09:22
    at any time in the day you would hear a
  • 00:09:24
    beetle song it was complete
  • 00:09:26
    saturation I think life for the beetle
  • 00:09:28
    in the early days was very tough once
  • 00:09:31
    the success had come once they were not
  • 00:09:34
    only a success in England but also broke
  • 00:09:36
    the breaches in
  • 00:09:38
    America then they lived in a giant
  • 00:09:40
    goldfish bowl and they couldn't
  • 00:09:43
    escape the British Invasion this time
  • 00:09:46
    goes by the code name Beetle Mania D-Day
  • 00:09:49
    has been common knowledge for months and
  • 00:09:51
    this was the
  • 00:09:53
    day the Beatles are coming The Beatles
  • 00:09:56
    are coming it got bigger and bigger and
  • 00:09:58
    bigger and bigger still finally we got
  • 00:10:00
    to the point where they landed at the
  • 00:10:02
    airport in New York and there was like
  • 00:10:03
    50,000 people there it was
  • 00:10:08
    unbelievable I said this is it it's all
  • 00:10:10
    over but the shouting we had never seen
  • 00:10:13
    an airport that you couldn't get to
  • 00:10:15
    because of kids standing out there
  • 00:10:17
    screaming we'd never seen kids fainting
  • 00:10:20
    like that at concerts we never heard
  • 00:10:23
    screams like that that you couldn't even
  • 00:10:26
    hear the music while the guys and you
  • 00:10:28
    knew they were playing
  • 00:10:30
    we knew that there was a problem and it
  • 00:10:32
    just landed I knew that they were they
  • 00:10:35
    were different and I knew they that
  • 00:10:38
    their voices Blended together and I knew
  • 00:10:40
    they had a great talent and I knew they
  • 00:10:43
    were going to be big and I hated them
  • 00:10:44
    for
  • 00:10:46
    that what do you think of the comment
  • 00:10:48
    that you're nothing but a bunch of
  • 00:10:50
    British Elvis Presley it's not true it's
  • 00:10:52

  • 00:11:11
    funny and then when he realized that I
  • 00:11:13
    wasn't going to comb it back again he
  • 00:11:14
    got really pissed off
  • 00:11:18
    [Music]

    [Applause]
  • 00:11:33
    these girls were losing their minds I
  • 00:11:35
    mean this this appealed to me in a very
  • 00:11:36
    fundamental way I think I was about 13
  • 00:11:39
    or 14 and these girls were going nuts I
  • 00:11:42
    was pregnant with Kenya my daughter when
  • 00:11:45
    the Beatles thing swept okay and I
