00: 00: 38,880 --> 00: 00: 43,680
THE BEATLES:
SGT. PEPER 50 YEARS

2
00: 01: 40,800 --> 00: 01: 44,360
AUGUST 1966
BEGINNING ON AN EXCEPTIONAL YEAR

3
00: 01: 45,800 --> 00: 01: 49,320
It's easy to forget,
that it was only 22 years after the war.

4
00: 01: 49,480 --> 00: 01: 55,480
You have this in England,
as you can see through black and white pictures.

5
00: 01: 55,640 --> 00: 02: 02,320
And then you have the new era of colors,
and the Beatles stood in front.

6
00: 02: 16,760 --> 00: 02: 19,840
-Hello John. Are you looking forward to the tour?
-Yes.

7
00: 02: 20,000 --> 00: 02: 25,320
Are you concerned about the religious conflict
will flare up in the usa?

8
00: 02: 25,480 --> 00: 02: 30,000
Yes, it worries me. But I hope
of course, that's probably going to go.

9
00: 02: 30,160 --> 00: 02: 33,680
Do you think it will be controversial?
tour like in the Philippines?

10
00: 02: 33,840 --> 00: 02: 36,760
No no. It's going to be good.

11
00: 02: 36,920 --> 00: 02: 40,760
-What makes you say Paul?
-Just wait and see.

12
00: 02: 45,040 --> 00: 02: 50,160
The clan will demonstrate
to stop this concert.

13
00: 02: 50,320 --> 00: 02: 54,600
Outside of the Colosseum there was only
a small group of people-

14
00: 02: 54,760 --> 00: 02: 57,480
-der demonstrated.

15
00: 02: 58,560 --> 00: 03: 02,680
Keep in mind that Beatles was the world's largest.

16
00: 03: 03,880 --> 00: 03: 05,880
Beatles were just as big-

17
00: 03: 06,040 --> 00: 03: 10,120
- if you put seven presidents
together in one room.

18
00: 03: 10,280 --> 00: 03: 13,560
How does it feel?
You may say hello?

19
00: 03: 13,720 --> 00: 03: 17,360
-Hi.
-Flot.

20
00: 03: 18,920 --> 00: 03: 22,800
-John, are you sorry what you said?
-Yes I am.

21
00: 03: 22,960 --> 00: 03: 26,520
It is true.
The band was much more popular.

22
00: 03: 26,680 --> 00: 03: 29,800
I do not want to say his name.

23
00: 03: 29,960 --> 00: 03: 33,720
But they were more popular
than the church of england and religion.

24
00: 03: 33,880 --> 00: 03: 36,000
There is no doubt at all.

25
00: 03: 36,160 --> 00: 03: 41,640
This is where the ballad began.
In the little studio Station WAQY-

26
00: 03: 41,800 --> 00: 03: 47,160
-som sends music to the 750,000
residents of Birmingham, Alabama.

27
00: 03: 47,320 --> 00: 03: 53,840
DJ, Tommy Charles, read John Lennon's
Comment on Christianity in this magazine.

28
00: 03: 54,000 --> 00: 03: 57,840
The statements were almost not noticed
in England.

29
00: 03: 58,000 --> 00: 04: 02,040
Jesus must have been huge
in those days-

30
00: 04: 02,200 --> 00: 04: 06,720
-but there were only 300 people,
Who did not hear him?

31
00: 04: 06,880 --> 00: 04: 12,520
Even if you transferred to today,
what he means to people in Europe-

32
00: 04: 12,680 --> 00: 04: 15,600
-the Beatles would be bigger too.

33
00: 04: 15,760 --> 00: 04: 19,880
But the Americans were obsessed with Jesus,
and not by the Beatles.

34
00: 04: 20,040 --> 00: 04: 24,680
I thank Jesus Christ for
that we are gathered here-

35
00: 04: 24,840 --> 00: 04: 28,840
Because he saved me
31 years ago.

36
00: 04: 29,000 --> 00: 04: 33,000
And he is popular with all of you
here tonight, right? Amen.

37
00: 04: 33,160 --> 00: 04: 36,840
They did not know,
What a liter of milk cost-

38
00: 04: 37,000 --> 00: 04: 39,960
-and they had no concept
about the world situation.

39
00: 04: 40,120 --> 00: 04: 44,480
They were like mushrooms ...
They sucked emotions to themselves-

40
00: 04: 44,640 --> 00: 04: 49,280
so you would think they grew older
twice as fast as others.

41
00: 04: 49,440 --> 00: 04: 54,880
I know that Brian was very upset,
before they traveled to the United States.

42
00: 04: 56,560 --> 00: 04: 59,760
But it was an innocent statement.

43
00: 04: 59,920 --> 00: 05: 02,560
They were bigger.

44
00: 05: 02,720 --> 00: 05: 07,080
There were more people who would hear
Beatles than there were church cemeteries.

45
00: 05: 07,240 --> 00: 05: 11,400
Brian, are you concerned,
What will happen when they come?

46
00: 05: 11,560 --> 00: 05: 14,520
-Yes, I'm worried.
- What kind of what?

47
00: 05: 14,680 --> 00: 05: 18,440
- Your safety.
-What do you do to protect them?

48
00: 05: 18,600 --> 00: 05: 20,840
You can not do that much.

49
00: 05: 21,000 --> 00: 05: 25,600
They have always got the biggest
security offerings in this country.

50
00: 05: 25,760 --> 00: 05: 29,320
And the tour is really well organized.

51
00: 05: 30,880 --> 00: 05: 33,120
So we just hope for the best.

52
00: 05: 33,280 --> 00: 05: 38,320
They burned records in Memphis. They walked
on stage and feared to be shot.

53
00: 05: 38,480 --> 00: 05: 41,760
It was very strange.
We did not really understand that.

54
00: 05: 41,880 --> 00: 05: 45,040
There has been the most criticism
from the southern Bible belt.

55
00: 05: 45,200 --> 00: 05: 48,720
Will that mean,
that you change the Beatles calendar

56
00: 05: 48,880 --> 00: 05: 53,720
-to avoid cities where radio stations
burn their plates and pictures of?

57
00: 05: 53,880 --> 00: 05: 58,920
That is unthinkable.
I spoke with the organizers this morning-

58
00: 05: 59,080 --> 00: 06: 03,040
and I have a meeting with some of them
a bit later.

59
00: 06: 03,200 --> 00: 06: 09,320
They are not so nervous,
that they want to cancel concerts.

60
00: 06: 09,480 --> 00: 06: 16,560
If some of them were nervous
and would like to cancel-

61
00: 06: 16,720 --> 00: 06: 19,680
so I will not stand in the way of them.

62
00: 06: 19,840 --> 00: 06: 23,320
In fact, the Memphis concert-

63
00: 06: 23,480 --> 00: 06: 28,880
-this is the place
where it all started-

64
00: 06: 29,040 --> 00: 06: 33,600
-sold more tickets yesterday,
than they have done in all the days up to.

65
00: 06: 33,760 --> 00: 06: 38,400
It was Tony Barrow who did
Datebook noted the interview.

66
00: 06: 38,520 --> 00: 06: 41,400
He contacted the editor, Art Unger,
and said:

67
00: 06: 41,560 --> 00: 06: 44,280
"You will love these interviews."

68
00: 06: 44,440 --> 00: 06: 49,560
But Art Unger got the idea to send them
to different radio stations.

69
00: 06: 49,720 --> 00: 06: 56,120
He knew it would frighten some,
so he sent them to DJ's in Alabama.

70
00: 06: 56,280 --> 00: 07: 00,560
And they became furious.
That was actually how it began.

71
00: 07: 09,760 --> 00: 07: 17,360
-Have you seen the statements?
-I have read something similar in the newspaper.

72
00: 07: 17,520 --> 00: 07: 21,520
If it makes others happy,
make me happy too.

73
00: 07: 21,680 --> 00: 07: 25,680
There were not as many
angry people, as I thought.

74
00: 07: 27,800 --> 00: 07: 30,000
And they were not nearly so angry.

75
00: 07: 30,160 --> 00: 07: 32,600
Brian Epstein wanted to cancel the tour.

76
00: 07: 32,760 --> 00: 07: 35,840
But they decided to implement,
if John apologized-

77
00: 07: 36,000 --> 00: 07: 39,280
-and he made it urgent.

78
00: 07: 39,440 --> 00: 07: 44,120
I spoke in England about his time.

79
00: 07: 44,280 --> 00: 07: 50,000
That we meant more for children than Jesus
or religion did at that time.

80
00: 07: 50,160 --> 00: 07: 54,320
It was not for the sake of religion.
I just found it.

81
00: 07: 54,480 --> 00: 07: 58,720
It suits,
but more in England than here.

82
00: 07: 58,880 --> 00: 08: 01,720
I'm not saying we're bigger-

83
00: 08: 01,920 --> 00: 08: 07,080
-and it's not for comparing us
with Jesus or with God.

84
00: 08: 07,240 --> 00: 08: 10,880
It was wrong to say,
and it was misunderstood.

85
00: 08: 11,040 --> 00: 08: 17,040
George did not care. "Now they buy more
plates after burning the others. "

86
00: 08: 17,200 --> 00: 08: 20,920
What do you think the group says,
what they mean?

87
00: 08: 21,120 --> 00: 08: 24,760
Do you think it's appropriate
with the position they have?

88
00: 08: 24,960 --> 00: 08: 30,440
-I never asked them to tie.
Did you ask John to apologize?

89
00: 08: 30,600 --> 00: 08: 35,080
We talked about it,
and we brought it together.

90
00: 08: 35,240 --> 00: 08: 38,200
I have never dictated anything.

91
00: 08: 38,400 --> 00: 08: 44,600
Neither as to what they might
sing or what they should say.

92
00: 08: 45,680 --> 00: 08: 48,680
We decide everyone.

93
00: 08: 48,840 --> 00: 08: 51,520
And I contribute one fifth.

94
00: 08: 51,680 --> 00: 08: 57,440
It was at the end of
a very comprehensive world tour-

95
00: 08: 57,600 --> 00: 09: 00,320
-Where were terrible things
for the Beatles.

96
00: 09: 00,480 --> 00: 09: 04,960
They suffered death threats in Japan,
and there were violent episodes in the Philippines.

97
00: 09: 05,120 --> 00: 09: 10,240
They had obviously offended Imelda
Marcos by staying away from a desk.

98
00: 09: 10,400 --> 00: 09: 15,400
This was just the drop.
They thought they would be executed.

99
00: 09: 15,560 --> 00: 09: 20,080
That sort of thing was raised in people's heads
so early in history.

100
00: 09: 20,240 --> 00: 09: 25,720
-John, where did you go to Manila airport?
-We were bullied by some bullets.

101
00: 09: 25,880 --> 00: 09: 28,600
We were very scared.

102
00: 09: 28,760 --> 00: 09: 33,920
How scared were you, George?
-I was scared.

103
00: 09: 34,080 --> 00: 09: 36,520
It was really uncomfortable.

104
00: 09: 36,680 --> 00: 09: 43,400
There were five big gorillas
with weapons and the whole pipe.

105
00: 09: 43,560 --> 00: 09: 47,360
And they kicked you?
-Yes. And it was planned.

106
00: 09: 47,520 --> 00: 09: 53,880
It was clear that they had planned
to give us the worst experience of our lives.

107
00: 09: 54,040 --> 00: 10: 00,560
So we hurried through ...
I just tried to avoid them.

108
00: 10: 00,720 --> 00: 10: 04,880
-They were those who were out of trouble.
-Yes, they were five.

109
00: 10: 05,040 --> 00: 10: 07,840
So you had to carry your equipment yourself?

110
00: 10: 08,000 --> 00: 10: 12,480
Only hand luggage.
Our managers make sure the rest.

111
00: 10: 12,600 --> 00: 10: 16,240
They turned off the escalators,
so we had to go upstairs.

112
00: 10: 16,400 --> 00: 10: 18,560
-With all the amplifiers.
-So smart they were.

113
00: 10: 18,720 --> 00: 10: 24,040
-How many were they?
-I think there were 30.

114
00: 10: 24,200 --> 00: 10: 26,960
But now you say five.

115
00: 10: 27,120 --> 00: 10: 30,040
It was only a small army,
there were violent-

116
00: 10: 30,200 --> 00: 10: 34,120
and then there were a ten pieces behind
and buhede.

117
00: 10: 34,280 --> 00: 10: 38,760
We looked to see who it was,
and then there were some smiling children.

118
00: 10: 38,920 --> 00: 10: 44,160
There were some gesture types
and buhede behind.

119
00: 10: 44,320 --> 00: 10: 47,680
You just knew,
that they were waiting for a fight.

120
00: 10: 48,640 --> 00: 10: 52,600
And they pushed us.
If we had done anything ...

121
00: 10: 52,800 --> 00: 10: 56,040
Have you enjoyed the tour
except the Philippines?

122
00: 10: 56,200 --> 00: 11: 01,320
-Yes. Great.
-In fact, it was only one morning.

123
00: 11: 01,480 --> 00: 11: 05,280
-Japan was amazing.
-And Delhi was good.

124
00: 11: 05,440 --> 00: 11: 09,120
Cute people in Japan.
Everyone we met ...

125
00: 11: 09,280 --> 00: 11: 12,760
They defeated Manila during the war.

126
00: 11: 12,960 --> 00: 11: 16,440
Do you want to play in the Philippines again?
-No.

127
00: 11: 16,600 --> 00: 11: 19,920
I never go to Manila again.
I would not even fly over.

128
00: 11: 20,080 --> 00: 11: 26,760
When they came back from Manila, began
they talk about setting the tour.

129
00: 11: 26,920 --> 00: 11: 31,080
Brian was nervous. He could see,
that they did not need him-

130
00: 11: 31,240 --> 00: 11: 35,400
-If they only recorded in studies.
Where would his place be?

131
00: 11: 35,560 --> 00: 11: 41,640
He booked tours and all that.
He loved the show business.

132
00: 11: 41,800 --> 00: 11: 45,960
He loved the theater,
and he had gone to RADA.

133
00: 11: 46,120 --> 00: 11: 52,160
Beatles came up from the wardrobes
to give their second show.

134
00: 11: 52,320 --> 00: 11: 56,520
They were carefully watched by Captain
Barney Hicks 82 police officers-

135
00: 11: 56,680 --> 00: 11: 59,280
-som all received overtime payment.

136
00: 11: 59,440 --> 00: 12: 03,040
There was hysteria around the Beatles.

137
00: 12: 03,200 --> 00: 12: 05,840
It is unbelievable that they found themselves in it.

138
00: 12: 06,000 --> 00: 12: 08,320
They did what they expected from them.

139
00: 12: 08,480 --> 00: 12: 13,440
When you think of the keys
among even the little rockbands today ...

140
00: 12: 13,600 --> 00: 12: 19,520
What Beatles found out for everyone
best and because so did man-

141
00: 12: 19,680 --> 00: 12: 21,800
-That's completely unimaginable.

142
00: 12: 21,960 --> 00: 12: 27,400
When Beatles' plane arrived, it drove off
from the hundreds of fans-

143
00: 12: 27,560 --> 00: 12: 31,520
Then to a deserted part of the runway,
used only by the military.

144
00: 12: 31,680 --> 00: 12: 35,800
There were only a handful of teenagers,
That threatened the security offer.

145
00: 12: 44,760 --> 00: 12: 47,040
Although they were worried
for the visit to the south-

146
00: 12: 47,200 --> 00: 12: 50,920
Could they comfort themselves with their success?
so far.

147
00: 12: 51,080 --> 00: 12: 55,440
Halfway through the tour they have traded
for over half a million dollars-

148
00: 12: 55,600 --> 00: 12: 58,720
and the single "Yellow Submarine"
has sold a million copies.

149
00: 12: 58,880 --> 00: 13: 02,840
Is this your first visit to the South?
-No, we've also been to Texas.

150
00: 13: 03,000 --> 00: 13: 08,240
-Where are you from here?
-Cincinnati.

151
00: 13: 08,400 --> 00: 13: 13,560
And how long will you be in the US?
-To weeks more.

152
00: 13: 13,720 --> 00: 13: 15,760
-To weeks more?
-Yes.

153
00: 13: 15,920 --> 00: 13: 20,880
-What did you have for lunch?
-Not very much.

154
00: 13: 21,040 --> 00: 13: 24,200
-I'm closing now. It will be too hot.
-Thanks.

155
00: 13: 26,040 --> 00: 13: 29,800
FIRE FOUR
THE RIDED WORLD

156
00: 13: 31,280 --> 00: 13: 36,800
They hung up with the cloud afterwards, and John
said: "We should not have done that."

157
00: 13: 36,960 --> 00: 13: 42,000
They had two hits in the meantime, and
then they come back to this place ...

158
00: 13: 42,160 --> 00: 13: 45,640
They had promised to play again.
And they did.

159
00: 13: 45,800 --> 00: 13: 49,720
There was only one wardrobe.
It was the size of a phone book.

160
00: 13: 49,880 --> 00: 13: 54,720
We were in there, the Beatles were there
and some more.

161
00: 13: 54,880 --> 00: 13: 58,320
They were not satisfied at all.

162
00: 13: 58,480 --> 00: 14: 02,640
John was dying of grin. They had
a piano on the stage that was covered.

163
00: 14: 02,800 --> 00: 14: 06,040
He said, "King Taylor
have forgotten their raincoat. "

164
00: 14: 06,200 --> 00: 14: 11,200
Beatles went on stage, the girls screamed,
and then the flow went on

165
00: 14: 11,360 --> 00: 14: 14,920
Near a small bulb on the stage.

166
00: 14: 15,080 --> 00: 14: 19,320
No power.
Nobody knew what was happening.

167
00: 14: 19,480 --> 00: 14: 24,040
And typically Paul, he runs
to the piano and start playing.

168
00: 14: 24,200 --> 00: 14: 27,520
John still played guitar.

169
00: 14: 27,680 --> 00: 14: 31,080
So you could at least still hear
a little acoustic guitar.

170
00: 14: 31,240 --> 00: 14: 37,240
For several years, I thought he was playing
one of his father's songs from the 20's.

171
00: 14: 37,440 --> 00: 14: 39,520
That was how it sounded.

172
00: 14: 39,680 --> 00: 14: 44,960
And then, "Sgt. Pepper" came out
"When I get older ..."

173
00: 14: 45,120 --> 00: 14: 49,360
It was incredible!
We had heard that song in 1963.

174
00: 14: 49,520 --> 00: 14: 54,840
It does not matter if people can not
like our plates or our looks.

175
00: 14: 55,000 --> 00: 15: 01,600
People are entitled to their own opinion, and
we have the right not to take care of them.

176
00: 15: 02,640 --> 00: 15: 05,400
We all have our rights,
Harold ...

177
00: 15: 13,600 --> 00: 15: 15,840
It was completely brittle at last.

178
00: 15: 15,960 --> 00: 15: 22,200
Wherever they were in a room.
It could be in Wales or Tokyo.

179
00: 15: 22,360 --> 00: 15: 25,000
It was just another hotel room.

180
00: 15: 26,920 --> 00: 15: 32,080
It's hard to imagine,
for "Revolver" can easily be listed now-

181
00: 15: 32,240 --> 00: 15: 36,680
But they did not know how they looked
played just a little from "Rubber Soul" -

182
00: 15: 36,840 --> 00: 15: 41,360
- and nothing from "Revolver" live,
even though it was the latest album.

183
00: 15: 41,520 --> 00: 15: 46,040
They also developed a more melodic side.

184
00: 15: 46,200 --> 00: 15: 51,000
You should hear the finesses
in their songs to know it-

185
00: 15: 51,160 --> 00: 15: 54,240
but you could not hear anything.

186
00: 15: 54,360 --> 00: 16: 00,400
I was on a business trip in New York,
when Beatles gave a concert there.

187
00: 16: 00,560 --> 00: 16: 04,920
And Brian was there too.
I spoke with the organizers.

188
00: 16: 05,080 --> 00: 16: 09,800
Brian and the others would keep the crowd
down to 10,000 because of the sound.

189
00: 16: 09,960 --> 00: 16: 14,160
They would be able to play and be heard
without being overwhelmed by screaming.

190
00: 16: 14,320 --> 00: 16: 18,720
But the police would not allow it. The
knew there would be 100,000 fans-

191
00: 16: 18,880 --> 00: 16: 21,240
if there was only room for 10,000.

192
00: 16: 21,400 --> 00: 16: 25,240
It is dangerous to have 10,000 inside
and 90,000 outside.

193
00: 16: 25,400 --> 00: 16: 29,160
So it was not a greedy organizer
or Brian Epstein.

194
00: 16: 29,320 --> 00: 16: 31,480
That was the police.

195
00: 16: 31,680 --> 00: 16: 37,320
They were locked up by the tour. The
could not escape when they got home.

196
00: 16: 37,480 --> 00: 16: 41,280
They flew around the world,
and people screamed at them.

197
00: 16: 41,400 --> 00: 16: 45,800
They could not hear themselves,
and they began to doubt it all.

198
00: 16: 45,960 --> 00: 16: 49,560
They had started because it was fun,
but it was not fun anymore.

199
00: 16: 49,720 --> 00: 16: 54,640
John told me about it
over a dinner in New York.

200
00: 16: 54,800 --> 00: 16: 58,720
He told me that when they played
"Twist and Shout" -

201
00: 16: 58,880 --> 00: 17: 02,040
Had he changed the words
to "I'm pissed with gout".

202
00: 17: 02,200 --> 00: 17: 04,760
He thought it was so funny.

203
00: 17: 04,920 --> 00: 17: 10,320
A because it was fun,
and B, no one could hear the difference.

204
00: 17: 10,480 --> 00: 17: 17,680
On the front row were children in wheelchairs.
Especially John flipped out.

205
00: 17: 17,840 --> 00: 17: 21,960
He had a phobia
around physical disability.

206
00: 17: 22,120 --> 00: 17: 26,960
And then they became poor children
driven into their wardrobe-

207
00: 17: 27,120 --> 00: 17: 30,600
-that they could heal people.

208
00: 17: 30,760 --> 00: 17: 38,040
The worst thing was when other than theirs
helpers just drove the children in there.

209
00: 17: 38,200 --> 00: 17: 44,520
It was awful.
And amazingly they found themselves in it.

210
00: 17: 44,680 --> 00: 17: 48,360
George talked a lot about
that they did not develop musically.

211
00: 17: 48,520 --> 00: 17: 53,960
They had always evolved by
play for an audience they could see.

212
00: 17: 54,120 --> 00: 17: 56,880
And now they could not see the audience at all.

213
00: 17: 57,040 --> 00: 18: 00,840
In Candlestick Park they were literally sitting
in a cage on stage.

214
00: 18: 01,000 --> 00: 18: 03,320
It was far from The Cavern.

215
00: 18: 03,480 --> 00: 18: 10,440
We used to work on machines,
where there was volume, tone, bass.

216
00: 18: 10,600 --> 00: 18: 12,720
Three buttons.

217
00: 18: 12,880 --> 00: 18: 19,240
We did not have all those fathers
and computers and flashing lights.

218
00: 18: 19,400 --> 00: 18: 22,160
In Beatles' contract there was

219
00: 18: 22,320 --> 00: 18: 29,360
-that the organizer should set two to three
Microphones available and appropriate light.

220
00: 18: 29,520 --> 00: 18: 36,080
Songs like "Eleanor Rigby" wanted
That audience does not respond at all.

221
00: 18: 36,240 --> 00: 18: 43,040
A because you could not dance to it,
and B because it was a little sad.

222
00: 18: 43,200 --> 00: 18: 48,640
Churches, single women and death ...
It did not sound like Beatles.

223
00: 18: 48,800 --> 00: 18: 56,120
Because of Beatles' popularity
at the young-

224
00: 18: 56,280 --> 00: 18: 59,600
have they long been able to say,
what they want

225
00: 18: 59,760 --> 00: 19: 05,280
- taking into account their own judgment
or wisdom.

226
00: 19: 05,440 --> 00: 19: 08,960
-He was not just honest?
His answer is so flattered.

227
00: 19: 09,120 --> 00: 19: 14,040
His attitude is so strange that you
Do not know if he is honest or not.

228
00: 19: 14,200 --> 00: 19: 20,440
What difference does all the trouble have
done for the tour? Paul?

229
00: 19: 20,640 --> 00: 19: 25,120
Not so much...
It may have become more hectic.

230
00: 19: 25,280 --> 00: 19: 28,560
Press conferences have become more important.

231
00: 19: 28,720 --> 00: 19: 33,160
People have said,
that we were more flattered lately.

232
00: 19: 33,320 --> 00: 19: 37,920
And we are not this time because
the questions are a little more serious.

233
00: 19: 38,080 --> 00: 19: 40,840
It has not gone beyond
our bookings.

234
00: 19: 41,000 --> 00: 19: 45,400
The audience is the same
close to the first concert in Memphis.

235
00: 19: 45,600 --> 00: 19: 48,640
It was a shame, but pissed on it.

236
00: 19: 48,800 --> 00: 19: 53,560
There was an interesting change
on the music scene in 1966-67.

237
00: 19: 53,720 --> 00: 19: 57,680
One began to say "rock".
It had never been heard before.

238
00: 19: 57,840 --> 00: 20: 02,760
In 1967 this year's biggest event was
Monterey Pop Festival.

239
00: 20: 02,920 --> 00: 20: 08,000
Pop was a fashion word. Those who played,
were those we call rock stars today.

240
00: 20: 08,160 --> 00: 20: 11,920
But the press began more and more
to use the word "rock".

241
00: 20: 12,080 --> 00: 20: 17,360
They used the word about bands,
there was no mainstream-

242
00: 20: 17,520 --> 00: 20: 21,360
and who played their own music
and did not have studio musicians.

243
00: 20: 21,520 --> 00: 20: 27,960
And most of them stood out
by letting the hair grow and look cool.

244
00: 20: 28,120 --> 00: 20: 34,040
The Stones were the archetypes on it.
The Who went from the doll to the rock.

245
00: 20: 34,200 --> 00: 20: 36,760
Will you ever play Beatles again?

246
00: 20: 36,920 --> 00: 20: 41,280
It asked Capitol Record, as
publishes their albums in the United States, too.

247
00: 20: 41,440 --> 00: 20: 49,120
Brian Epstein wanted to know when we
would lift the ban. Everyone waited.

248
00: 20: 49,280 --> 00: 20: 56,560
They wanted to know what it meant,
before we did. I do not know...

249
00: 20: 56,720 --> 00: 21: 01,440
I want them to get me
to change my mind

250
00: 21: 01,560 --> 00: 21: 06,520
I want to see them become a little grown up,
I think.

251
00: 21: 06,680 --> 00: 21: 10,600
DJ Tommy Charles, who started
all this has said-

252
00: 21: 10,760 --> 00: 21: 14,400
that he does not want to play your records,
before you grow up

253
00: 21: 14,560 --> 00: 21: 17,320
He does not have to play them ever.

254
00: 21: 17,480 --> 00: 21: 22,640
When we say that kind of thing, everyone seems,
that we childish

255
00: 21: 22,800 --> 00: 21: 26,120
You can only say that kind of thing,
if you are a child

256
00: 21: 26,280 --> 00: 21: 30,240
Do you think the Americans
driving witch hunting against you?

257
00: 21: 30,360 --> 00: 21: 34,840
Do you mind being asked
to the Vietnam war?

258
00: 21: 35,040 --> 00: 21: 39,720
If one has to think war is bad,
and people agree, that's fine.

259
00: 21: 39,880 --> 00: 21: 41,960
You just can not say it too often.

260
00: 21: 42,120 --> 00: 21: 46,320
It seems strange if the Americans
pretended that it did not take place.

261
00: 21: 46,480 --> 00: 21: 49,320
But why should they ask you?

262
00: 21: 49,480 --> 00: 21: 56,040
Because Americans always ask
their stars about everything.

263
00: 21: 56,200 --> 00: 22: 01,600
You can not keep calm with that
happens in the world unless one is a monk.

264
00: 22: 01,760 --> 00: 22: 05,760
Sorry, Munke.
I actually meant ...

265
00: 22: 05,920 --> 00: 22: 10,360
They took care of it,
That was already happening.

266
00: 22: 10,560 --> 00: 22: 15,440
Teenage Revolution. They would
regarded as full-fledged people.

267
00: 22: 15,600 --> 00: 22: 21,000
Swinging London was a huge move,
a whole culture in itself-

268
00: 22: 21,160 --> 00: 22: 25,800
where everyone should have long hair
and mustache and all-

269
00: 22: 25,960 --> 00: 22: 31,440
-and met in UFO clubs and all that
psychedelic around Pink Floyd etc.

270
00: 22: 31,600 --> 00: 22: 38,400
There were fashion, miniatures, shops,
and it changed all the time.

271
00: 22: 38,560 --> 00: 22: 42,720
I was a model at Foale and Tuffin,
but there was also a store.

272
00: 22: 42,880 --> 00: 22: 46,880
Sometimes I was in the store,
when I was not out on model jobs.

273
00: 22: 47,040 --> 00: 22: 51,720
Then came the guys from the other stores
in Carnaby Street, and we switched plates.

274
00: 22: 51,880 --> 00: 22: 55,920
It was all about music
and about how we looked.

275
00: 22: 56,080 --> 00: 22: 59,720
It began when Paul came out
for an accident on motorcycle-

276
00: 22: 59,880 --> 00: 23: 02,920
and broke his tooth
and splashed his lip.

277
00: 23: 03,080 --> 00: 23: 08,160
It was the day before he made
"Rain and Paperback Writer" videos.

278
00: 23: 08,280 --> 00: 23: 13,160
Then he made mustache
to hide the teeth.

279
00: 23: 16,360 --> 00: 23: 21,640
He did not consider going to the dentist.
He just put chewing gum over the hole.

280
00: 23: 21,800 --> 00: 23: 27,240
But then he struck mustache
to cover his war crimes.

281
00: 23: 27,400 --> 00: 23: 32,360
And the others seemed so nice,
so they all made mustaches.

282
00: 23: 32,520 --> 00: 23: 36,960
Suddenly came the beast
and all that ...

283
00: 23: 37,080 --> 00: 23: 40,360
The substances and a different view
on the outside world.

284
00: 23: 40,520 --> 00: 23: 46,080
No matter what you do as a musician,
does it come in a song somewhere.

285
00: 23: 46,240 --> 00: 23: 48,840
You draw on the experience.

286
00: 23: 49,000 --> 00: 23: 53,480
We smoke the pot.
And it changes one's view of things.

287
00: 23: 53,640 --> 00: 23: 57,280
I think,
it breaks a lot of walls down.

288
00: 23: 57,440 --> 00: 24: 00,760
It was about resistance
against the established society-

289
00: 24: 00,960 --> 00: 24: 03,560
- and to reach in
its own creativity.

290
00: 24: 03,720 --> 00: 24: 07,920
I think they tried to rebel
against people's image of four sweet rams.

291
00: 24: 08,080 --> 00: 24: 13,880
That was one of the reasons.
Dress up differently, like an adult.

292
00: 24: 14,040 --> 00: 24: 17,880
-Sleeps the Beatles group?
-Absolutely not.

293
00: 24: 18,040 --> 00: 24: 22,760
Fits that they break up
in the near future?

294
00: 24: 22,920 --> 00: 24: 28,600
-Not at all.
Why do not they hold concerts?

295
00: 24: 28,800 --> 00: 24: 34,200
They have had different events.
John Lennon is making a movie.

296
00: 24: 34,360 --> 00: 24: 38,200
Paul has written music
to a new Hayley Mills movie.

297
00: 24: 38,400 --> 00: 24: 45,640
They should all be together
here in the country at the end of November.

298
00: 24: 45,800 --> 00: 24: 50,280
Then they have to record plates ...

299
00: 24: 50,440 --> 00: 24: 53,000
And then they will work on the next movie.

300
00: 24: 53,160 --> 00: 24: 57,680
Will there be any changes?
Will there be fewer concerts next year?

301
00: 24: 59,880 --> 00: 25: 05,560
Maybe. As I said
there are no important changes.

302
00: 25: 05,720 --> 00: 25: 10,680
They have always evolved and to do
You must also make changes.

303
00: 25: 10,840 --> 00: 25: 14,680
Beatles had good antennas.
They caught things fast.

304
00: 25: 14,880 --> 00: 25: 19,000
"We do."
It was part of their upbringing.

305
00: 25: 19,160 --> 00: 25: 23,680
And they were...

306
00: 25: 23,840 --> 00: 25: 30,000
With "Penny Lane" and "Strawberry Fields"
were they not pseudo-americans anymore.

307
00: 25: 30,160 --> 00: 25: 32,600
They dropped the American accent.

308
00: 25: 32,760 --> 00: 25: 36,840
Paul's father had asked, "Why is the song?
I 'yeah, yeah' and not 'yes, yes'? "

309
00: 25: 37,000 --> 00: 25: 41,960
They used their own culture,
which is very interesting.

310
00: 25: 42,120 --> 00: 25: 45,280
And they are both amazing songs.

311
00: 25: 45,440 --> 00: 25: 49,960
I think,
that it was a shame with "Sgt. Pepper".

312
00: 25: 50,120 --> 00: 25: 54,760
If the two songs had been on,
had it been a fantastic album.

313
00: 25: 54,920 --> 00: 25: 59,840
I've always meant,
that they should have put them on later.

314
00: 26: 00,000 --> 00: 26: 02,080
"Please, this is the best."

315
00: 26: 02,240 --> 00: 26: 08,200
"Penny Lane" and "Strawberry Fields
Forever "is Paul's clear picture of-

316
00: 26: 08,360 --> 00: 26: 12,600
-how the 1950's Liverpool,
as they knew so well, looked.

317
00: 26: 12,760 --> 00: 26: 17,280
John's picture
was much more surreal.

318
00: 26: 17,440 --> 00: 26: 20,680
But you still get a feeling,
that it's a real place-

319
00: 26: 20,840 --> 00: 26: 25,360
and that it's John's picture of a place,
He knew as a child.

320
00: 26: 25,520 --> 00: 26: 30,800
When they stopped touring,
they could decide.

321
00: 26: 30,960 --> 00: 26: 33,920
They did,
as they would with "Sgt. Pepper" -

322
00: 26: 34,080 --> 00: 26: 38,480
and they began to ignore Brian,
who no longer had control over them.

323
00: 26: 38,640 --> 00: 26: 41,080
They started to dog with George Martin.

324
00: 26: 41,280 --> 00: 26: 46,600
He gave his input to the technical,
but that was the one who decided.

325
00: 26: 46,760 --> 00: 26: 50,200
In ancient times, it was George Martin,
that decided.

326
00: 26: 50,360 --> 00: 26: 54,000
When the tour was over,
Brian felt redundant.

327
00: 26: 54,160 --> 00: 26: 57,520
He traveled around with them
on the tour-

328
00: 26: 57,680 --> 00: 27: 01,440
-but it was the local organizers,
that meant it.

329
00: 27: 01,560 --> 00: 27: 04,760
Brian was at least with
and felt like part of it.

330
00: 27: 04,920 --> 00: 27: 09,160
When they stopped touring,
he had nothing to do.

331
00: 27: 09,320 --> 00: 27: 13,360
He had never been
contribute to the songwriting or in the studio.

332
00: 27: 13,520 --> 00: 27: 17,880
So he felt outside
without anything to do.

333
00: 27: 18,040 --> 00: 27: 22,200
It took him on.
He started with drugs and games.

334
00: 27: 22,360 --> 00: 27: 28,640
He certainly felt,
that the relationship between them broke down.

335
00: 27: 28,800 --> 00: 27: 32,360
Brian's role changed.

336
00: 27: 32,520 --> 00: 27: 38,240
But he would always be
the right fifth Beatle.

337
00: 27: 38,400 --> 00: 27: 41,640
He brought them from The Cavern
to the world stage.

338
00: 27: 41,800 --> 00: 27: 48,720
At the beginning of 1967 they made some music,
Only played in The Roundhouse.

339
00: 27: 50,520 --> 00: 27: 54,240
It is shown only Mark Lewisohn,
who else has heard it.

340
00: 27: 54,360 --> 00: 28: 02,400
It was only those who jammed and
played on cans, tables and everything.

341
00: 28: 02,560 --> 00: 28: 08,400
They could do that for seven minutes.
And that was the idea of ​​that.

342
00: 28: 08,560 --> 00: 28: 15,040
The less the rule, the better, and it would
become art, but it was not.

343
00: 28: 15,200 --> 00: 28: 17,680
They felt reluctant.

344
00: 28: 17,840 --> 00: 28: 22,240
They had been the biggest tour band
and biggest pop band.

345
00: 28: 22,400 --> 00: 28: 26,000
They were number one to five
on the American charts.

346
00: 28: 26,160 --> 00: 28: 30,200
Then what do you do?
The only option is to create art.

347
00: 28: 30,360 --> 00: 28: 33,280
"We must do something better
on a different level. "

348
00: 28: 33,440 --> 00: 28: 39,640
"If we can not become rock musicians,
then we have to make fun of beautiful art. "

349
00: 28: 39,800 --> 00: 28: 43,320
I think,
That was how they were raining.

350
00: 28: 43,480 --> 00: 28: 46,480
There is no need to publish
Another "Revolver".

351
00: 28: 46,640 --> 00: 28: 50,720
We must do something extraordinary.
And so they did.

352
00: 28: 50,880 --> 00: 28: 54,520
I was absolutely amazed,
when I heard "Strawberry Fields".

353
00: 28: 54,720 --> 00: 28: 59,520
I told my editor,
that Beatles still evolved.

354
00: 28: 59,640 --> 00: 29: 04,840
That was incredible. It was
a huge step from, for example, "Love Me Do".

355
00: 29: 05,000 --> 00: 29: 09,680
Nobody says high that "Penny Lane" became
written to hit "Strawberry Fields" -

356
00: 29: 09,840 --> 00: 29: 15,080
But John had taken the lead
and wrote a Liverpool song.

357
00: 29: 15,240 --> 00: 29: 19,240
There was this competition
between John and Paul.

358
00: 29: 19,400 --> 00: 29: 23,160
They pushed each other to provide more
in a good way.

359
00: 29: 23,320 --> 00: 29: 27,120
"I'm taking the A-side on the next single",
and that kind of thing.

360
00: 29: 27,280 --> 00: 29: 32,760
It was quite amazing
and without malice.

361
00: 29: 32,920 --> 00: 29: 36,560
The plan was to write
an entire album about Liverpool.

362
00: 29: 36,720 --> 00: 29: 43,160
It was discussed to make an album
with connection to Liverpool.

363
00: 29: 44,320 --> 00: 29: 49,200
They already had "Penny Lane"
and "Strawberry Fields" -

364
00: 29: 49,360 --> 00: 29: 52,840
and "A Day in the Life".

365
00: 29: 53,000 --> 00: 29: 57,720
And then George Martin meant that they
had been too quiet for a while.

366
00: 29: 57,880 --> 00: 30: 01,200
So they added him, but insisted,
It should be a double A page.

367
00: 30: 01,360 --> 00: 30: 07,240
At double A-sides the sale was split up,
so they were only number two.

368
00: 30: 07,400 --> 00: 30: 11,800
Meanwhile, there was a group
In Liverpool, called Hillsiders.

369
00: 30: 11,960 --> 00: 30: 15,200
The manager, Spencer Lloyd Mason,
noticed-

370
00: 30: 15,360 --> 00: 30: 20,680
that one of the members had found
an amazing country plate.

371
00: 30: 20,840 --> 00: 30: 26,960
They took it to their manager,
Noel Walker from Merseyside-

372
00: 30: 27,120 --> 00: 30: 31,920
-and asked to be allowed
to record it with an orchestra.

373
00: 30: 32,080 --> 00: 30: 34,960
But instead of recording it
with the Hillsiders-

374
00: 30: 35,120 --> 00: 30: 39,880
He passed it on to Engelbert
Humperdinck Managers.

375
00: 30: 40,040 --> 00: 30: 45,840
And it smelt like number one and held
Beatles from there for the first time long.

376
00: 30: 46,000 --> 00: 30: 48,600
And that because of a Liverpool group.

377
00: 30: 48,760 --> 00: 30: 53,440
The Liverpool album ... In a way
had they done that already-

378
00: 30: 53,600 --> 00: 30: 57,040
-with "Strawberry Fields"
and "Penny Lane".

379
00: 30: 57,200 --> 00: 31: 02,280
They did it on a single. It did
those with a magnificent double A-single.

380
00: 31: 04,960 --> 00: 31: 07,400
-Can I ask something?
-Yes.

381
00: 31: 07,560 --> 00: 31: 10,200
Should Beatles be divorced in 1967?

382
00: 31: 10,360 --> 00: 31: 15,920
Maybe ... We are always involved
in each other, no matter what we do.

383
00: 31: 16,080 --> 00: 31: 19,960
Can you imagine a time,
where you are not together?

384
00: 31: 20,120 --> 00: 31: 24,800
Yes, for a while,
but we will always meet again.

385
00: 31: 24,960 --> 00: 31: 28,600
You also need other people
to get new ideas.

386
00: 31: 28,760 --> 00: 31: 31,280
We're fine together.

387
00: 31: 31,440 --> 00: 31: 34,600
Do you record movies for yourself
next year?

388
00: 31: 34,760 --> 00: 31: 39,080
No, it will not be a new career.
I did it because I wanted to-

389
00: 31: 39,240 --> 00: 31: 42,520
-and Dick Lester asked me.

390
00: 31: 42,720 --> 00: 31: 47,160
I would not have done that,
if the others were against it.

391
00: 31: 47,320 --> 00: 31: 53,360
Do they also have film ambitions?
-Now, not too bad.

392
00: 31: 53,520 --> 00: 31: 57,200
-What do you really want to do?
-I do not really know.

393
00: 31: 57,360 --> 00: 32: 02,520
-Do you not decided?
-No, I will try a little differently.

394
00: 32: 02,680 --> 00: 32: 06,360
Now I have learned a bit about movies.

395
00: 32: 06,520 --> 00: 32: 10,600
But you keep typing songs
Together, whatever happens?

396
00: 32: 10,760 --> 00: 32: 15,680
Yes, we'll probably know
always writing music.

397
00: 32: 15,840 --> 00: 32: 20,080
We can not help.
You do it whether you want it or not.

398
00: 32: 20,240 --> 00: 32: 24,160
Do you think you stop?
Touring here and in America?

399
00: 32: 24,320 --> 00: 32: 29,640
It must stop at some point because
It does not have anything to do with it-

400
00: 32: 29,800 --> 00: 32: 32,520
-We are doing longer.

401
00: 32: 32,680 --> 00: 32: 39,600
They knew they ran risks in 1966-67.
They did not know people would follow them.

402
00: 32: 39,760 --> 00: 32: 45,120
They could have been calculating
in relation to market shares.

403
00: 33: 10,080 --> 00: 33: 15,280
Then they decided that it should be called
a concept-album-

404
00: 33: 15,440 --> 00: 33: 18,720
Because Frank Zappa had one,
called "Freak Out".

405
00: 33: 18,840 --> 00: 33: 21,040
McCartney loved the idea.

406
00: 33: 21,200 --> 00: 33: 24,880
But then Ringo said later,
that they made a few numbers-

407
00: 33: 25,040 --> 00: 33: 29,080
and then they forgot about the concept
and made several numbers.

408
00: 33: 29,280 --> 00: 33: 33,200
But it was tied together
in a strange way.

409
00: 33: 33,360 --> 00: 33: 40,120
Those were adventurous Beatles,
At the same time, it was very sentimental.

410
00: 33: 40,280 --> 00: 33: 45,760
It's all on that album and it is
funny john joining it

411
00: 33: 45,920 --> 00: 33: 50,880
-with his masterpiece
"A Day in the Life".

412
00: 33: 51,040 --> 00: 33: 56,800
But there are also small pieces of sound
from "A Day in the Life" -

413
00: 33: 56,960 --> 00: 34: 02,200
and sound pieces from Paul's "Lovely Rita"
so it seems like a concept-

414
00: 34: 02,360 --> 00: 34: 05,200
-If they did not believe it.

415
00: 34: 05,360 --> 00: 34: 09,080
Paul?
Good evening. Don Edwards, ITN.

416
00: 34: 09,240 --> 00: 34: 13,360
Would it bother you
never to tour again?

417
00: 34: 13,520 --> 00: 34: 16,480
I do not think.

418
00: 34: 16,640 --> 00: 34: 21,720
One must understand,
that we act because ...

419
00: 34: 21,880 --> 00: 34: 27,680
It's gone downhill, because we can
do not develop when nobody can hear us.

420
00: 34: 27,840 --> 00: 34: 31,880
So it's hard for us to act.

421
00: 34: 32,040 --> 00: 34: 34,880
So you will not give concerts?

422
00: 34: 35,040 --> 00: 34: 39,840
Yes, we would like, but if no one hears
that and we can not hear ourselves-

423
00: 34: 40,000 --> 00: 34: 43,360
so we can not improve ourselves.
We can not get better.

424
00: 34: 43,520 --> 00: 34: 46,320
So we try to get better in the study.

425
00: 34: 46,480 --> 00: 34: 49,840
It took several months
and cost a lot of money-

426
00: 34: 50,000 --> 00: 34: 56,960
and it was not only "Sgt. Pepper", but
Also other big albums from that time ...

427
00: 34: 57,120 --> 00: 35: 02,560
They turned the market on their heads.
The single had been the most important-

428
00: 35: 02,720 --> 00: 35: 06,880
and then you should earn the album
enter with the single on-

429
00: 35: 07,040 --> 00: 35: 10,840
and it was called the same
as the single, for example, "Please, please me".

430
00: 35: 11,040 --> 00: 35: 14,920
But then the album began
to be the key

431
00: 35: 15,080 --> 00: 35: 18,240
-what the different bands made

432
00: 35: 18,400 --> 00: 35: 21,800
The recorded albums,
and then the singles came from there.

433
00: 35: 21,960 --> 00: 35: 25,880
-Merry Christmas!
-May I ask some questions?

434
00: 35: 26,040 --> 00: 35: 28,680
-Yes.
- I'll turn you this way.

435
00: 35: 28,840 --> 00: 35: 33,400
-Hi. You look great.
-Yes, I've been in the bathroom too.

436
00: 35: 33,560 --> 00: 35: 37,080
What is it that Beatles will do
less together in the new year?

437
00: 35: 38,160 --> 00: 35: 44,800
If we do everything, then stay
just the same again and again.

438
00: 35: 44,960 --> 00: 35: 48,720
- And you do not want to?
-No, we do not want to repeat ourselves.

439
00: 35: 48,880 --> 00: 35: 55,240
So we still try to get
a proper script to the movie ...

440
00: 35: 55,400 --> 00: 35: 59,040
But it does not succeed,
then we'll do something separately.

441
00: 35: 59,160 --> 00: 36: 04,640
-Separately?
-Yes. It's not like being divorced.

442
00: 36: 04,800 --> 00: 36: 09,680
-Tak, Ringo. Are you going to work?
-I just want to see what they're doing.

443
00: 36: 09,840 --> 00: 36: 12,960
With a little luck we shall eat.
Goodbye.

444
00: 36: 13,120 --> 00: 36: 16,760
Paul was thinking about it
to play as a pseudonym band-

445
00: 36: 16,920 --> 00: 36: 22,560
-to play as another band
than Beatles.

446
00: 36: 24,000 --> 00: 36: 26,720
-Hi. Can I just stop you?
-Yes.

447
00: 36: 26,880 --> 00: 36: 32,720
I just want to ask if you think
that you go every turn in the new year?

448
00: 36: 32,880 --> 00: 36: 36,120
No. Definitely not.

449
00: 36: 36,280 --> 00: 36: 40,800
- May I ask a question?
-All will ask more questions!

450
00: 36: 40,960 --> 00: 36: 48,400
They were tired of being "The Beatles",
not by the group but by the name.

451
00: 36: 48,560 --> 00: 36: 53,200
It suppressed them. So they thought,
that they could make an alter ego.

452
00: 36: 53,360 --> 00: 37: 00,640
It was called "Sgt. Pepper" and should
go with military tunes and that kind of thing.

453
00: 37: 00,800 --> 00: 37: 07,000
But if you look, you'll see
a picture of Paul's father, Jim-

454
00: 37: 07,200 --> 00: 37: 13,800
-which had a little dance band
1920-30s, where he played piano.

455
00: 37: 13,960 --> 00: 37: 19,840
There was a picture of them from the 1920s,
where they stand around a big drum-

456
00: 37: 20,000 --> 00: 37: 26,160
-and looks exactly like some from
The "Sgt. Pepper" concept, just without a pot.

457
00: 37: 26,320 --> 00: 37: 32,160
They became predecessors
for a rock'n'roll joke.

458
00: 37: 32,320 --> 00: 37: 37,080
How long can you spend in the study,
and what will it cost?

459
00: 37: 37,240 --> 00: 37: 41,200
Beatles was in the studio with "Sgt. Pepper".

460
00: 37: 41,360 --> 00: 37: 46,200
And everybody says,
that it must have been super fast.

461
00: 37: 46,360 --> 00: 37: 50,920
It was so the most ruddy,
one could experience.

462
00: 37: 51,880 --> 00: 37: 57,120
We used to record an album
in three days up to a week.

463
00: 37: 57,280 --> 00: 38: 00,160
"Revolver" took a couple of weeks.

464
00: 38: 00,320 --> 00: 38: 05,880
"Sgt. Pepper" just kept on knowing,
because they had not written together.

465
00: 38: 06,040 --> 00: 38: 09,840
The only one,
who had prepared Paul was

466
00: 38: 10,000 --> 00: 38: 14,920
When they were in the studio, the women were
forment access, even the wives.

467
00: 38: 15,080 --> 00: 38: 21,880
Even when they were on tour,
only the boys were alone.

468
00: 38: 22,080 --> 00: 38: 27,600
It was only Chris O'Dell who was daring
Ask if she had to come to the studio.

469
00: 38: 27,760 --> 00: 38: 32,320
None of us had imagined,
that we could watch the recordings.

470
00: 38: 32,480 --> 00: 38: 36,080
Everybody asks,
why the groups got longer study time.

471
00: 38: 36,240 --> 00: 38: 41,600
It's not the record company's money.
It is the group's advance on royalties.

472
00: 38: 41,760 --> 00: 38: 47,040
If new bands do not get hits,
the record companies pay the bill.

473
00: 38: 47,200 --> 00: 38: 52,200
Once the group had some hits,
can they have as much study time as they like.

474
00: 38: 52,360 --> 00: 38: 56,640
The groups do not explain, so they
think they are using the companies money.

475
00: 38: 56,800 --> 00: 39: 02,280
And by this time they have enough money
to buy some drugs and the kind-

476
00: 39: 02,440 --> 00: 39: 07,200
-and it's not conducive
to work quickly.

477
00: 39: 07,360 --> 00: 39: 14,120
It was mostly Paul who ruled.
Not with Georges and John's numbers-

478
00: 39: 14,280 --> 00: 39: 19,040
-but it was Paul mostly,
the whip swung.

479
00: 39: 19,200 --> 00: 39: 23,160
To me it seemed as if they were taking
the same takes over and over again-

480
00: 39: 23,320 --> 00: 39: 28,720
-If it was best the first time.
I just wanted to pack up and go home.

481
00: 39: 28,880 --> 00: 39: 33,800
Even experienced technicians were amazed
over Beatles' demands.

482
00: 39: 33,960 --> 00: 39: 36,800
No one did that kind of thing.

483
00: 39: 37,800 --> 00: 39: 41,240
Abbey Road was a blessing for them.

484
00: 39: 41,400 --> 00: 39: 45,480
They were full of enthusiasm and ideas.

485
00: 39: 45,640 --> 00: 39: 51,560
Tit is the 20th century the best in one's
life, and now they could do what they wanted.

486
00: 39: 51,720 --> 00: 39: 56,200
They had the influence to take
to Abbey Road and record.

487
00: 39: 56,360 --> 00: 39: 58,800
The first time they came there,
they went by the way.

488
00: 39: 58,960 --> 00: 40: 03,280
Now they went to the main entrance
and "Just Say What You Want, Paul".

489
00: 40: 03,440 --> 00: 40: 07,720
They created precedence for workflows,
as we take for granted today.

490
00: 40: 07,880 --> 00: 40: 11,440
We do not wonder when U2 goes free
a year to record an album.

491
00: 40: 11,600 --> 00: 40: 16,600
Beatles were the first,
That created ambitious albums-

492
00: 40: 16,760 --> 00: 40: 23,200
That was not just a collection
dance numbers, you played in the car.

493
00: 40: 24,160 --> 00: 40: 28,840
I think John was a genius.
There is no doubt about that.

494
00: 40: 29,000 --> 00: 40: 32,360
And how many geniuses can you have?
in a group of four?

495
00: 40: 32,520 --> 00: 40: 39,000
But without Paul, John would not
have accomplished what he did.

496
00: 40: 39,160 --> 00: 40: 41,800
I call them "The Dream Team".

497
00: 40: 41,960 --> 00: 40: 46,600
Paul had lost his mother when he
was 14 and was very home with us.

498
00: 40: 46,760 --> 00: 40: 51,400
My mother called him a poor boy,
because he had lost his mother.

499
00: 40: 51,560 --> 00: 40: 55,680
And then our mother
then went and died-

500
00: 40: 55,800 --> 00: 41: 01,960
- there was a completely natural bond
between them.

501
00: 41: 02,120 --> 00: 41: 06,440
I think your relationship was that,
Beatles rested on.

502
00: 41: 06,600 --> 00: 41: 10,240
John had a reputation.

503
00: 41: 10,400 --> 00: 41: 15,280
It was him people were attracted to,
because he had this biting humor.

504
00: 41: 15,440 --> 00: 41: 21,080
He was a bit of a rebel
and seemed worried.

505
00: 41: 21,240 --> 00: 41: 24,680
Paul was very polite.

506
00: 41: 24,840 --> 00: 41: 27,560
People are always attracted to the rebel.

507
00: 41: 27,720 --> 00: 41: 31,520
I also became,
when I met him the first time.

508
00: 41: 31,680 --> 00: 41: 34,640
Paul explored the avant-garde.

509
00: 41: 34,800 --> 00: 41: 39,360
There were no ideas,
There was too crazy for Paul.

510
00: 41: 39,520 --> 00: 41: 44,640
He read a lot and went on
art exhibitions and listened to jazz.

511
00: 41: 44,800 --> 00: 41: 49,440
He developed significantly
in that direction.

512
00: 41: 49,600 --> 00: 41: 53,840
John read a lot
and wrote many songs-

513
00: 41: 54,000 --> 00: 41: 56,920
-men most at home
where he had family responsibilities.

514
00: 41: 57,120 --> 00: 42: 02,200
Paul led the exploration of London
and the underground movement.

515
00: 42: 02,360 --> 00: 42: 06,800
John liked it but was not
brave enough at that time-

516
00: 42: 06,960 --> 00: 42: 09,160
-to self-explore it

517
00: 42: 09,320 --> 00: 42: 15,240
In November, he meets Yoko Ono
at her gallery reception.

518
00: 42: 15,400 --> 00: 42: 18,240
And we all know what led to it.

519
00: 42: 18,400 --> 00: 42: 23,520
One of the big big myths still there
Paul is bothering today, is-

520
00: 42: 23,680 --> 00: 42: 26,720
-that John was the avant-garde-

521
00: 42: 26,880 --> 00: 42: 31,480
-this Paul was the sweet one
and smiling average person.

522
00: 42: 31,680 --> 00: 42: 36,000
It simply does not fit.
As Tony Bramwell said,

523
00: 42: 36,160 --> 00: 42: 40,600
"John was a lazy skiderik,
who stayed at the suburb. "

524
00: 42: 40,760 --> 00: 42: 45,160
Paul lived in the middle of London.
He would constantly improve himself.

525
00: 42: 45,320 --> 00: 42: 52,320
He bought books about modern art as
13 years old and was engaged in avantgarden-

526
00: 42: 52,480 --> 00: 42: 57,360
and in difficult,
very modern music.

527
00: 42: 57,520 --> 00: 43: 01,960
Not pop music,
but people like John Cage and Luciano Berio.

528
00: 43: 02,120 --> 00: 43: 06,000
He knew everything about it.
Paul led an.

529
00: 43: 06,160 --> 00: 43: 11,040
There was a bookstore called Indica,
where Paul had a standing deal-

530
00: 43: 11,160 --> 00: 43: 14,880
-to receive all the new ones.
And then he told John about it.

531
00: 43: 15,000 --> 00: 43: 20,720
So Paul told John all about
to 'relax and turn the brain off'.

532
00: 43: 20,880 --> 00: 43: 24,880
John read the book and wrote
"Tomorrow Never Knows" -

533
00: 43: 25,040 --> 00: 43: 27,720
and then he was suddenly
avant-garde.

534
00: 43: 27,880 --> 00: 43: 33,920
They were more involved in modern art,
modern classical music-

535
00: 43: 34,080 --> 00: 43: 36,960
and modern design,
than they anticipated.

536
00: 43: 37,080 --> 00: 43: 39,960
Do not forget,
that they had been in Latin school.

537
00: 43: 40,120 --> 00: 43: 44,640
John had attended art school.

538
00: 43: 44,760 --> 00: 43: 49,640
They were all, in contrast
to some of the rock'n'roll stars-

539
00: 43: 49,800 --> 00: 43: 55,280
-there had left school
who 15-year-old and barely could read-

540
00: 43: 55,440 --> 00: 43: 59,480
Then Beatles, near Ringo,
who never went to school ...

541
00: 43: 59,640 --> 00: 44: 06,000
Beatles had read Shakespeare,
novels and poetry in school.

542
00: 44: 06,160 --> 00: 44: 12,040
John and George lived in the countryside.

543
00: 44: 12,200 --> 00: 44: 15,720
Paul lived in the middle of London.

544
00: 44: 15,880 --> 00: 44: 20,000
They were not
very much together longer.

545
00: 44: 20,160 --> 00: 44: 24,040
Until 1966 they remained constant.

546
00: 44: 24,200 --> 00: 44: 30,720
They were a four-head immensely;
You never saw one without the other.

547
00: 44: 30,840 --> 00: 44: 34,680
Paul was the most musical of them,
and taught John a lot.

548
00: 44: 34,840 --> 00: 44: 39,000
So it all was very nuanced.

549
00: 44: 39,160 --> 00: 44: 45,320
The idea that Paul was straight
by road and face outside

550
00: 44: 45,480 --> 00: 44: 50,880
-this is partly true
but he was also extremely talented.

551
00: 44: 51,040 --> 00: 44: 56,880
There was a lot of talk
about some different music.

552
00: 44: 57,040 --> 00: 44: 59,840
It all came back
from "Revolver".

553
00: 45: 00,000 --> 00: 45: 05,800
There were more expectations for "Sgt.
Pepper "than" Rubber Soul "and" Revolver ".

554
00: 45: 05,960 --> 00: 45: 10,120
It was partly,
because they had been in the studio for so long.

555
00: 45: 10,280 --> 00: 45: 14,880
The press wondered constantly
over money and time.

556
00: 45: 15,040 --> 00: 45: 18,920
So you thought:
"The four geniuses and George Martin-

557
00: 45: 19,080 --> 00: 45: 24,640
have spent so long in the study
so it just has to be amazing. "

558
00: 45: 31,040 --> 00: 45: 34,560
We must be back,
until it was released.

559
00: 45: 34,720 --> 00: 45: 37,800
People are not aware,
how difficult it was.

560
00: 45: 37,960 --> 00: 45: 41,400
It was recorded
on a four-track tape recorder

561
00: 45: 41,560 --> 00: 45: 44,320
George Martin said,
it was very hard.

562
00: 45: 44,480 --> 00: 45: 48,320
But just look what you can do in the studio
now a days.

563
00: 45: 48,480 --> 00: 45: 53,600
And yet
is this album completely magical.

564
00: 45: 53,760 --> 00: 45: 58,840
I can remember when they decided
to put the letters on the cover.

565
00: 45: 59,040 --> 00: 46: 05,640
At the previous albums had
We scolded what was supposed to stand.

566
00: 46: 05,800 --> 00: 46: 10,880
One of the pleasures of the Beatles was,
that they still sang with Liverpool accent.

567
00: 46: 11,040 --> 00: 46: 16,160
I have a good story,
from when I was in Stafford Street.

568
00: 46: 16,320 --> 00: 46: 22,200
George came one day and said,
"Can you write my lyrics?"

569
00: 46: 22,360 --> 00: 46: 24,440
"They are hard to read."

570
00: 46: 24,600 --> 00: 46: 30,880
"I'm reading them high for you,
while you write. "

571
00: 46: 31,040 --> 00: 46: 33,760
I did so.

572
00: 46: 33,920 --> 00: 46: 37,560
Whenever he had finished the texts,
did he give me them

573
00: 46: 37,720 --> 00: 46: 40,960
and I threw them in the trash.

574
00: 46: 41,120 --> 00: 46: 46,080
Every single song from "Sgt. Pepper"
smoke in the trash.

575
00: 46: 46,240 --> 00: 46: 48,160
If only I had known better ...

576
00: 46: 48,320 --> 00: 46: 55,160
EMI was shocked at how much
they should use on the record cover.

577
00: 46: 55,320 --> 00: 46: 59,760
They wanted the texts on the cover.

578
00: 46: 59,920 --> 00: 47: 02,880
There was rice for his own ass

579
00: 47: 03,040 --> 00: 47: 09,240
-for as soon as people could read
the texts should all be interpreted-

580
00: 47: 09,400 --> 00: 47: 14,880
-and added opinions
There had never been there.

581
00: 47: 15,000 --> 00: 47: 21,040
They had a psychedelic design
made by a group called The Fool.

582
00: 47: 21,200 --> 00: 47: 26,160
Their counselor, Robert Fraser,
owned a gallery.

583
00: 47: 26,320 --> 00: 47: 30,280
He said that very quickly
would become obsolete.

584
00: 47: 30,440 --> 00: 47: 35,440
So they decided to listen
to Paul's concept.

585
00: 47: 35,600 --> 00: 47: 40,560
He had an idea to write a list
over all their heroes.

586
00: 47: 40,720 --> 00: 47: 45,760
"All our heroes and the people,
We admire shall be on the cover. "

587
00: 47: 45,920 --> 00: 47: 49,920
Brian Epstein was in New York
at the time.

588
00: 47: 50,080 --> 00: 47: 52,240
He was shaken when he heard it.

589
00: 47: 52,400 --> 00: 47: 56,160
He thought that Beatles should be in the center,
not everybody else.

590
00: 47: 56,320 --> 00: 48: 00,880
He decided to fly home,
but he had dreamed that the plane crashed.

591
00: 48: 01,040 --> 00: 48: 04,600
So he made a message
at Nat Reese's lawyer-

592
00: 48: 04,800 --> 00: 48: 10,440
-He sounded: "Brown paper bag
as a cover for "Sgt. Pepper". "

593
00: 48: 10,600 --> 00: 48: 13,840
People expected,
that they were at the forefront of everything.

594
00: 48: 14,000 --> 00: 48: 17,640
People believed,
that everyone followed the heels of the Beatles.

595
00: 48: 17,800 --> 00: 48: 20,560
Then there was the military trend-

596
00: 48: 20,720 --> 00: 48: 25,560
- as "Sgt. Pepper" followed.
And then the hippie time came.

597
00: 48: 25,720 --> 00: 48: 31,320
Typical of John Lennon,
then he would have Jesus, Hitler ...

598
00: 48: 31,480 --> 00: 48: 35,200
Hitler was actually there,
just hidden behind something.

599
00: 48: 35,360 --> 00: 48: 41,760
When Sir Joseph Lockwood from EMI saw one
Picture of Gandhi, he became terrified.

600
00: 48: 41,920 --> 00: 48: 45,760
"We can not.
We have high sales figures in India! "

601
00: 48: 45,920 --> 00: 48: 54,040
Peter Blake managed to get hold of
nine wax figures from Madame Tussaud's.

602
00: 48: 54,200 --> 00: 48: 58,400
Four of Beatles and five others,
such as Sonny Liston and Diana Dors.

603
00: 48: 58,560 --> 00: 49: 04,400
I had said, "You have all your heroes,
movie stars and musicians. "

604
00: 49: 04,560 --> 00: 49: 11,520
"Why do not you have a football player?"
They were not interested in football.

605
00: 49: 11,680 --> 00: 49: 17,400
None of them had gone to matches
like teenagers, and were not fans-

606
00: 49: 17,560 --> 00: 49: 21,080
-for they were busy playing
guitar in The Quarrymen.

607
00: 49: 21,240 --> 00: 49: 24,560
Paul has said later,
that his family were Everton fans.

608
00: 49: 24,720 --> 00: 49: 27,920
He never mentioned that at that time.

609
00: 49: 28,080 --> 00: 49: 31,640
His father never mentioned it.

610
00: 49: 31,800 --> 00: 49: 37,600
But they thought it was a good idea,
and they had a football player.

611
00: 49: 37,760 --> 00: 49: 43,480
Albert Stubbins. John chose him,
because the name amused him.

612
00: 49: 43,680 --> 00: 49: 47,360
Had it been another year, had
Ravi Shankar and Maharishi been on.

613
00: 49: 47,520 --> 00: 49: 54,040
Many of them were Americans,
and at that time you did not have email-

614
00: 49: 54,240 --> 00: 49: 58,280
so you should write letters to people
and get their permission.

615
00: 49: 58,440 --> 00: 50: 02,760
One should have permission from the family,
if they were dead.

616
00: 50: 02,920 --> 00: 50: 10,560
I had such a thick folder
with the correspondence from "Sgt. Pepper".

617
00: 50: 10,680 --> 00: 50: 14,640
Chertsey. A gypsy wagon
ready to roll to Weybridge.

618
00: 50: 14,800 --> 00: 50: 18,480
A gift for a four-year-old boy,
there certainly has everything.

619
00: 50: 18,640 --> 00: 50: 22,600
Julian Lennon,
son of John Lennon, who else?

620
00: 50: 22,760 --> 00: 50: 26,680
Here is for 4,000 pounds painted
and newly refurbished wheels.

621
00: 50: 26,880 --> 00: 50: 30,960
A big toy for a little boy.
They must have a police card.

622
00: 50: 31,120 --> 00: 50: 34,640
But it is not every day,
Dad is spending so much money on his lap.

623
00: 50: 34,800 --> 00: 50: 38,640
Maybe 'money can buy love'.

624
00: 50: 38,800 --> 00: 50: 42,120
If he decides
moving away from home-

625
00: 50: 42,280 --> 00: 50: 47,040
He remains the most affluent
gypsies on the road.

626
00: 50: 47,200 --> 00: 50: 51,160
I visited some friends
at King's Road.

627
00: 50: 51,320 --> 00: 50: 59,040
We sat and listened to bold music,
smoke pot and did not say much.

628
00: 50: 59,200 --> 00: 51: 05,000
I remember that lay
some spiritual books on the table.

629
00: 51: 05,160 --> 00: 51: 09,520
I remember, I took up an issue called:
"Karma and rebirth".

630
00: 51: 09,680 --> 00: 51: 12,000
It was written by Christmas Humphreys.

631
00: 51: 12,160 --> 00: 51: 15,600
I just flipped it and fell over
this line:

632
00: 51: 15,760 --> 00: 51: 19,240
"Life goes on inside you
and without you. "

633
00: 51: 19,400 --> 00: 51: 24,600
I thought that sounded special.
I called George immediately.

634
00: 51: 24,760 --> 00: 51: 29,280
Then I read it to him.
"Life goes on in you and without you."

635
00: 51: 29,400 --> 00: 51: 33,280
He was lost and it became
to the song "Within You Without You".

636
00: 51: 33,440 --> 00: 51: 37,200
After George Harrison died,
George Martin told me-

637
00: 51: 37,360 --> 00: 51: 41,120
-for the reason it is
first number on page B is

638
00: 51: 41,280 --> 00: 51: 46,320
that you can skip it over
and go straight to number two.

639
00: 51: 46,480 --> 00: 51: 48,520
I did not think it worked.

640
00: 51: 48,680 --> 00: 51: 53,760
The singer in rock
or psychedelic music ...

641
00: 51: 53,920 --> 00: 51: 57,880
It was big on "Sgt. Pepper".

642
00: 51: 58,080 --> 00: 52: 02,000
You had seen Elvis and Little Richard-

643
00: 52: 02,160 --> 00: 52: 08,240
-but one had not imagined one
come with a sitar in a pop band.

644
00: 52: 08,400 --> 00: 52: 13,920
Paul said that when he grew up,
the cover was really important.

645
00: 52: 14,080 --> 00: 52: 17,840
The colors on the label,
Yes, even the smell of a plate.

646
00: 52: 18,000 --> 00: 52: 23,040
He was very aware of
the visual effect and all the details.

647
00: 52: 23,160 --> 00: 52: 28,920
As a child, you take it all in.
Even the printer's name is down in the corner.

648
00: 52: 29,080 --> 00: 52: 31,800
So he would have,
That should be good.

649
00: 52: 31,960 --> 00: 52: 35,120
There were good illustrations
and gifts inside ...

650
00: 52: 35,280 --> 00: 52: 39,800
The fool had colored their inner covers.

651
00: 52: 39,960 --> 00: 52: 43,360
It was quite phenomenal.

652
00: 52: 43,520 --> 00: 52: 47,200
They say so
in all their "Sgt. Pepper" gear.

653
00: 52: 47,360 --> 00: 52: 52,520
And then you take the cover out and discover,
that you can cut the beard out.

654
00: 52: 52,680 --> 00: 52: 56,200
And there is Sergeant Pepper,
which can be cut and set up.

655
00: 52: 56,360 --> 00: 53: 01,040
The dilemma was, if you were
leave it as I did-

656
00: 53: 01,200 --> 00: 53: 05,960
Because I did not expect to get much
success with a cardboard mustache.

657
00: 53: 06,120 --> 00: 53: 08,840
Especially not like 10 years old.

658
00: 53: 09,000 --> 00: 53: 12,840
But I still have it
in the cover.

659
00: 53: 13,000 --> 00: 53: 17,840
You got more like that
a relationship with the cover.

660
00: 53: 18,000 --> 00: 53: 23,040
It was all Paul's idea.
I could hear their discussions.

661
00: 53: 23,200 --> 00: 53: 27,760
I could hear the discussions about the title,
and how it should be arranged.

662
00: 53: 27,920 --> 00: 53: 31,400
One day, when I passed by, he said,
that they should have taken the picture.

663
00: 53: 31,560 --> 00: 53: 34,200
So I jumped into his Mini Minor-

664
00: 53: 34,360 --> 00: 53: 40,000
-and we drove to
Michael Coopers study in Flood Street.

665
00: 53: 40,160 --> 00: 53: 44,040
As we drove from Paul's house,
as he still owns-

666
00: 53: 44,200 --> 00: 53: 47,240
He said: "We need something
to embellish with the front. "

667
00: 53: 47,400 --> 00: 53: 53,600
I had seen drawings
and costumes that were handed over.

668
00: 53: 53,760 --> 00: 53: 57,120
They had tried them,
but was not satisfied.

669
00: 53: 57,240 --> 00: 54: 02,120
He says that I have to get something
to put in front of the picture.

670
00: 54: 02,280 --> 00: 54: 06,920
I'm looking around
and see a statue on a shelf.

671
00: 54: 07,080 --> 00: 54: 10,760
I did not know what it was.
It looked like this ...

672
00: 54: 10,920 --> 00: 54: 14,840
It looked like a spaceship.
They had each given a gift.

673
00: 54: 15,000 --> 00: 54: 19,200
John gave away to a fan,
That appeared.

674
00: 54: 19,360 --> 00: 54: 22,360
I took it out of its place
next to his Magritte.

675
00: 54: 22,520 --> 00: 54: 27,120
He loved Magritte.
He had bought a Magritte with an apple-

676
00: 54: 27,280 --> 00: 54: 30,360
-The apple that was used to Apple.

677
00: 54: 30,520 --> 00: 54: 36,840
Linda had bought Magrittes
original palette and easel for him.

678
00: 54: 37,000 --> 00: 54: 40,040
He wanted Magritte on the cover.

679
00: 54: 40,200 --> 00: 54: 45,840
But it gave his agent
not Robert Fraser allowed.

680
00: 54: 46,000 --> 00: 54: 50,240
It was a bit of a disaster.

681
00: 54: 50,400 --> 00: 54: 55,960
Here you had all the people,
which had influenced them.

682
00: 54: 56,120 --> 00: 55: 00,760
That would have been a nice insight
in the Beatles, but it was rejected.

683
00: 55: 00,920 --> 00: 55: 07,040
Do not think it's authentic
cover, because it is not.

684
00: 55: 07,200 --> 00: 55: 12,240
You sat and wondered,
who they had left out.

685
00: 55: 12,400 --> 00: 55: 17,200
Why are they here? But it was
all the stars that were up in time.

686
00: 55: 17,360 --> 00: 55: 23,160
You did not know if it was too funny,
or if they meant it.

687
00: 55: 23,320 --> 00: 55: 28,760
You did not quite know ...
It seemed ironic.

688
00: 55: 28,920 --> 00: 55: 31,920
They have enjoyed it.

689
00: 55: 32,080 --> 00: 55: 37,440
They had put all these people here
more in focus than themselves.

690
00: 55: 37,600 --> 00: 55: 42,440
And it welcomed Rolling Stones.

691
00: 55: 42,600 --> 00: 55: 45,840
It was insanely expensive,
and the EMI thought they were kidding.

692
00: 55: 46,000 --> 00: 55: 49,200
Why do it all on a pop album?

693
00: 55: 49,360 --> 00: 55: 53,440
-which will be replaced by a new one
within six months?

694
00: 55: 53,600 --> 00: 55: 59,360
They did not understand it,
But the Beatles had huge ambitions.

695
00: 55: 59,520 --> 00: 56: 04,880
And talent. And ego.
They would do something really special.

696
00: 56: 05,040 --> 00: 56: 07,520
This with the medals ...

697
00: 56: 07,680 --> 00: 56: 14,000
Pete Best's father was a boxing promoter
in Liverpool at Liverpool Stadium.

698
00: 56: 14,160 --> 00: 56: 21,480
And he had a cup
from Liverpool.

699
00: 56: 21,640 --> 00: 56: 25,840
Neil Aspinall brought it,
so it could be used on the cover.

700
00: 56: 26,000 --> 00: 56: 32,960
My mother's family was born under Rajahen.
An English military family in India.

701
00: 56: 35,080 --> 00: 56: 40,800
My mother's father, my grandfather,
was major in The Queen's Lancers.

702
00: 56: 40,960 --> 00: 56: 46,080
And my mother was very proud of
his father's medals.

703
00: 56: 46,200 --> 00: 56: 52,280
Tit when the four were visiting,
she showed them the medals.

704
00: 56: 52,440 --> 00: 56: 57,120
Brian came past in 1967 while they
collected all the things for "Sgt. Pepper".

705
00: 56: 57,280 --> 00: 57: 01,000
And John came to mind the medals.

706
00: 57: 01,160 --> 00: 57: 04,240
He thinks,
that they would be fed up with.

707
00: 57: 04,400 --> 00: 57: 08,520
So he asked Neil to ask my mother, Mona,
if he could borrow them.

708
00: 57: 08,680 --> 00: 57: 12,280
She said,
that he would like his heart

709
00: 57: 12,440 --> 00: 57: 15,440
-but she wanted them back.

710
00: 57: 15,600 --> 00: 57: 19,680
So Neil took them to London.

711
00: 57: 19,800 --> 00: 57: 23,040
Then they looked at all things-

712
00: 57: 23,200 --> 00: 57: 27,120
John decided to
to have those medals on.

713
00: 57: 27,280 --> 00: 57: 31,120
You can see them on the cover
on "Sgt. Pepper".

714
00: 57: 32,800 --> 00: 57: 36,280
The good thing was that he kept words.

715
00: 57: 37,680 --> 00: 57: 43,360
He sent the medals back to Mona
with Neil's help.

716
00: 57: 43,520 --> 00: 57: 47,520
And so the family became involved
in "Sgt. Pepper".

717
00: 57: 47,640 --> 00: 57: 51,400
The album became the world's best-selling.

718
00: 57: 51,560 --> 00: 57: 55,800
And there they are ...

719
00: 57: 55,960 --> 00: 57: 59,640
For many years there was none,
who knew it.

720
00: 57: 59,800 --> 00: 58: 03,200
Chas and Jimi were my good friends.

721
00: 58: 03,360 --> 00: 58: 08,640
I had a vinyl with "Sgt. Pepper"
and gave it to Chas.

722
00: 58: 08,760 --> 00: 58: 10,960
He played it for Jimi.

723
00: 58: 11,120 --> 00: 58: 17,080
He caught it right away
and practiced on it.

724
00: 58: 17,280 --> 00: 58: 23,520
I heard him play at The Saville
Theater Sundays after the release-

725
00: 58: 23,680 --> 00: 58: 26,440
and he played songs from it.

726
00: 58: 26,600 --> 00: 58: 32,400
McCartney loved it.
He took it as a compliment-

727
00: 58: 32,560 --> 00: 58: 36,960
for here it was hard here
rock star who played his songs.

728
00: 58: 37,120 --> 00: 58: 40,600
He was a songwriter and he loved,
when people played his songs.

729
00: 58: 40,760 --> 00: 58: 46,760
When "Sgt. Pepper" appeared on June 1, 1967,
had it been on its way so long-

730
00: 58: 46,920 --> 00: 58: 51,960
-and the expectations were sky high,
and you had read about it in the magazines.

731
00: 58: 52,120 --> 00: 58: 55,560
No matter where you walked around King's Road,
then it became the game.

732
00: 58: 55,720 --> 00: 59: 01,760
In all shops and shops.
It was an event.

733
00: 59: 01,920 --> 00: 59: 07,040
When I saw the cover, it was
in itself also an event.

734
00: 59: 07,200 --> 00: 59: 10,760
It was something amazing.

735
00: 59: 10,920 --> 00: 59: 15,760
When we filmed "Strawberry Fields" ...

736
00: 59: 15,920 --> 00: 59: 19,200
We filmed in Sevenoaks in Kent-

737
00: 59: 19,360 --> 00: 59: 23,160
- and we had a small hotel,
called the bright's hotel.

738
00: 59: 23,320 --> 00: 59: 28,680
There was an antique dealer
side by side and the posters hung.

739
00: 59: 28,840 --> 00: 59: 33,480
It cost well just a pound.

740
00: 59: 34,840 --> 00: 59: 40,400
There stood "In honor of Mr. Kite ..."
and then all the numbers got upset-

741
00: 59: 40,560 --> 00: 59: 46,760
-Pablo Fanque's circus,
the dancing horse and everything ...

742
00: 59: 46,920 --> 00: 59: 51,600
He put it in glass and frame
and hung it in his living room in Weybridge-

743
00: 59: 51,760 --> 00: 59: 58,520
and then he wrote the song
based on the poster.

744
00: 59: 59,520 --> 01: 00: 01,920
He made poetry out of it.

745
01: 00: 02,080 --> 01: 00: 07,960
And George Martin made
all the beautiful circus effects on-

746
01: 00: 08,120 --> 01: 00: 11,000
and made it a masterpiece.

747
01: 00: 11,160 --> 01: 00: 15,640
He got his inspiration
elsewhere from "Sgt. Pepper".

748
01: 00: 15,800 --> 01: 00: 20,600
He read in Daily Mail that his friend
Tara Brown died in a car crash.

749
01: 00: 20,760 --> 01: 00: 26,160
And the same was true of Paul. He
read in the Daily Mail about Melanie Cole-

750
01: 00: 26,320 --> 01: 00: 29,240
-which had left home
to meet a man.

751
01: 00: 29,400 --> 01: 00: 34,080
Paul invented a man from the automotive industry,
and everyone thought it was Terry Doran.

752
01: 00: 34,240 --> 01: 00: 38,720
Terry Doran was one of their friends,
who had a car dealer.

753
01: 00: 38,880 --> 01: 00: 44,160
Chertsey. It was one of the wheels
from John Lennon's Rolls-Royce.

754
01: 00: 44,320 --> 01: 00: 50,400
It is cool. If you are over 80, means
That's great. 6,000 for a 1965 Phantom-

755
01: 00: 50,560 --> 01: 00: 52,680
as beautiful inside as outside.

756
01: 00: 52,840 --> 01: 00: 57,320
Or maybe not entirely,
now when it has been stuffed with equipment.

757
01: 00: 57,480 --> 01: 01: 01,600
Not even a Beatle
could wish for more.

758
01: 01: 01,760 --> 01: 01: 07,880
Paul admitted having taken LSD
in Life Magazine.

759
01: 01: 08,040 --> 01: 01: 10,960
I read it on the front page
by Daily Mirror.

760
01: 01: 11,120 --> 01: 01: 16,800
It spread in the press
and also came to the TV news.

761
01: 01: 16,920 --> 01: 01: 21,720
I think John was struck by it. He
and George were the first to take the LSD-

762
01: 01: 21,880 --> 01: 01: 26,400
-and that's Paul,
It comes out first.

763
01: 01: 26,560 --> 01: 01: 31,680
They thought it was unfair,
because they had been the pioneers.

764
01: 01: 31,840 --> 01: 01: 35,280
How often have you taken LSD?

765
01: 01: 36,400 --> 01: 01: 40,160
-Around four times.
-Where did you get it from?

766
01: 01: 40,320 --> 01: 01: 45,720
It would be silly to say where
I got it off when it's illegal.

767
01: 01: 45,880 --> 01: 01: 51,400
-So I would rather not say that.
-Had it not been better to tie?

768
01: 01: 51,560 --> 01: 01: 56,400
I was asked the question
by a journalist from a newspaper-

769
01: 01: 56,560 --> 01: 01: 59,520
and it was a matter of lying-

770
01: 01: 59,680 --> 01: 02: 03,960
-or tell the truth

771
01: 02: 04,120 --> 01: 02: 07,200
And I decided
to tell the truth.

772
01: 02: 07,360 --> 01: 02: 13,240
But I did not want to say that.
If I could decide-

773
01: 02: 13,440 --> 01: 02: 18,560
-If I have not said anything.
I'm not out to bash it.

774
01: 02: 18,720 --> 01: 02: 25,480
But the journalist is from the media.
I would keep it secret-

775
01: 02: 25,640 --> 01: 02: 28,320
-If he also tiger with it.

776
01: 02: 28,480 --> 01: 02: 32,960
But he wanted to spread it,
so that's his responsibility.

777
01: 02: 34,560 --> 01: 02: 40,520
But you are a public person. You must
have known that it became a headline.

778
01: 02: 40,680 --> 01: 02: 43,960
Yes, but to say that's just
to tell the truth.

779
01: 02: 44,160 --> 01: 02: 48,440
I say it, as it is.
Why do people get angry about it?

780
01: 02: 48,600 --> 01: 02: 52,040
Do you mean that you have called
your fans to take drugs?

781
01: 02: 52,200 --> 01: 02: 57,680
That makes no difference. They do not take
drugs just because I've done it.

782
01: 02: 57,840 --> 01: 03: 03,040
That's not the point either. I
was asked if I had tried it.

783
01: 03: 03,200 --> 01: 03: 09,160
Whether or not it will encourage people
or not-

784
01: 03: 09,320 --> 01: 03: 12,320
It is up to the newspapers and the television.

785
01: 03: 12,480 --> 01: 03: 15,360
You spread it at this moment.

786
01: 03: 15,520 --> 01: 03: 18,880
It comes into everyone's living rooms.

787
01: 03: 19,040 --> 01: 03: 24,960
I'd rather not have it,
but you ask the questions.

788
01: 03: 25,120 --> 01: 03: 28,560
But as a public person
do you have a responsibility?

789
01: 03: 28,720 --> 01: 03: 34,160
No, it's your responsibility
not to spread it.

790
01: 03: 34,320 --> 01: 03: 39,440
I'm totally prepared to stay close
with that if you do.

791
01: 03: 39,600 --> 01: 03: 41,760
If you tire, I do too.

792
01: 03: 41,920 --> 01: 03: 48,680
One must remember that when it came to light,
was it not illegal here in the country.

793
01: 03: 48,840 --> 01: 03: 52,840
There was a place called
International Psychedelic Center-

794
01: 03: 53,000 --> 01: 03: 57,440
where you could walk in from the street
and try it.

795
01: 03: 57,600 --> 01: 04: 00,160
It was quickly done illegally-

796
01: 04: 00,320 --> 01: 04: 06,560
-but there were plausible reasons for that
that it was great to try.

797
01: 04: 06,720 --> 01: 04: 10,080
John said,
that "lucy in the sky with diamonds"

798
01: 04: 10,240 --> 01: 04: 14,520
Come from once his son Julian,
got home from school with a drawing-

799
01: 04: 14,680 --> 01: 04: 19,840
where there was a girl from school
up in a sky full of diamonds.

800
01: 04: 20,000 --> 01: 04: 24,000
John claimed,
that nothing had to do with LSD.

801
01: 04: 24,120 --> 01: 04: 27,560
I think now that it had.

802
01: 04: 27,720 --> 01: 04: 34,120
John must have been dyslexic if he
could not see that the title was for LSD.

803
01: 04: 34,280 --> 01: 04: 36,640
And we know he was not dyslexic.

804
01: 04: 36,800 --> 01: 04: 43,520
You must have good imagination to believe in
John's claim that it was an accident.

805
01: 04: 43,680 --> 01: 04: 47,200
I think now,
that it was more than one case.

806
01: 04: 47,360 --> 01: 04: 51,680
It is a coincidence,
that it's the initials for LSD.

807
01: 04: 51,840 --> 01: 04: 56,400
I do not believe it was intended.

808
01: 04: 56,560 --> 01: 05: 02,600
For example, people would ask John,
what "I am the Walrus" meant.

809
01: 05: 02,760 --> 01: 05: 05,600
"Can you explain what that means?"

810
01: 05: 05,760 --> 01: 05: 10,320
He intentionally wrote something weird.

811
01: 05: 10,480 --> 01: 05: 15,600
I have a quote in my book:
"Let them figure it out."

812
01: 05: 15,760 --> 01: 05: 19,520
He did not send messages.
He made false marks.

813
01: 05: 19,680 --> 01: 05: 23,760
Beatles had a good story about,
why it did not mean LSD.

814
01: 05: 23,920 --> 01: 05: 27,280
But that story was certainly written
by Brian Epstein.

815
01: 05: 27,440 --> 01: 05: 32,080
I think it was LSD, but that
had been better if it were not.

816
01: 05: 32,240 --> 01: 05: 36,040
The BBC was right in,
that it was what it was.

817
01: 05: 36,200 --> 01: 05: 39,080
But it was the culture of the time.

818
01: 05: 39,240 --> 01: 05: 42,880
They knew what they were doing
with the little jokes in "Sgt. Pepper".

819
01: 05: 43,040 --> 01: 05: 49,440
There were also jokes earlier, for example
in "Penny Lane", "fish and finger pie".

820
01: 05: 49,600 --> 01: 05: 55,200
They wrote it on purpose. It was a little
vulgar. A schoolboy-vainness.

821
01: 05: 55,360 --> 01: 06: 01,760
They forbade "A Day in the Life" due
'Too many holes to fill The Albert Hall'.

822
01: 06: 01,920 --> 01: 06: 06,880
It was an article about holes
in the road of Blackburn, Lancashire.

823
01: 06: 07,040 --> 01: 06: 10,400
And they thought,
It had to do with syringes in the arm.

824
01: 06: 10,560 --> 01: 06: 14,480
So it was banned.
Such was the setting at that time.

825
01: 06: 14,640 --> 01: 06: 20,880
There is no doubt they took
big chances on that album.

826
01: 06: 21,040 --> 01: 06: 26,160
When they sang:
"I love to turn you on" -

827
01: 06: 26,320 --> 01: 06: 31,160
so they knew what they were doing.
They had gone away with much.

828
01: 06: 31,320 --> 01: 06: 35,080
They thought,
they could get rid of it all.

829
01: 06: 35,240 --> 01: 06: 40,480
They presented the whole world
for psychedelic drugs.

830
01: 06: 40,640 --> 01: 06: 46,760
They had the stage. There was a part
with drugs in America and Timothy Leary.

831
01: 06: 47,720 --> 01: 06: 51,840
And the one from there
"The Tibetan Dead Book":

832
01: 06: 51,960 --> 01: 06: 54,880
"I know,
how it is to be dead. "

833
01: 06: 55,040 --> 01: 06: 59,280
It was completely insane.
From "She Loves You" and to it.

834
01: 06: 59,440 --> 01: 07: 02,280
It was a dramatic statement.

835
01: 07: 02,440 --> 01: 07: 06,520
It was usually Mike and Keith
and their band that got on the puckle-

836
01: 07: 06,680 --> 01: 07: 11,760
-to be badly influenced and
Someone your daughter should not go out with.

837
01: 07: 11,920 --> 01: 07: 14,680
But Beatles were not saints.

838
01: 07: 14,880 --> 01: 07: 19,800
That would all four have granted.

839
01: 07: 19,960 --> 01: 07: 25,480
It was not considered as bad as
the drugs that scared the English-

840
01: 07: 25,640 --> 01: 07: 29,600
such as cocaine,
which had been on the market forever.

841
01: 07: 29,760 --> 01: 07: 34,880
People like Lady Diana Cooper,
a great celebrity from the 20's-

842
01: 07: 35,040 --> 01: 07: 38,480
- saw later
for different pop stars:

843
01: 07: 38,640 --> 01: 07: 44,080
"In the 20's we sat around the dinner table
with silver salt tank full of cocaine. "

844
01: 07: 44,240 --> 01: 07: 45,880
So that was nothing new.

845
01: 07: 46,040 --> 01: 07: 52,320
Lennon read Lewis Carroll and that kind of.
And they took it all in.

846
01: 07: 52,440 --> 01: 07: 56,160
Then at that time were drugs
somewhat progressive.

847
01: 07: 56,320 --> 01: 08: 00,680
One could find his inner light
and that kind of thing.

848
01: 08: 00,840 --> 01: 08: 03,920
Music is a spiritual experience
in many ways.

849
01: 08: 04,080 --> 01: 08: 08,200
They used to go to the bathroom;
they did not do it in the studio.

850
01: 08: 08,360 --> 01: 08: 13,160
They could appear behind a screen
and take a quick blow of a joint.

851
01: 08: 13,320 --> 01: 08: 19,120
But there was once,
where John had to go upstairs

852
01: 08: 19,280 --> 01: 08: 25,200
Paul drove him home to himself.
Neil Aspinall was there too.

853
01: 08: 25,360 --> 01: 08: 28,800
They looked at John.
You could not be alone with LSD.

854
01: 08: 28,960 --> 01: 08: 34,120
When you took drugs,
did you only know-

855
01: 08: 34,280 --> 01: 08: 37,960
-at whatever happened on your trip,
did you know it was a trip.

856
01: 08: 38,120 --> 01: 08: 43,920
And then you had to live with that knowledge
and do not keep taking it.

857
01: 08: 44,080 --> 01: 08: 48,760
That's why it was so easy when Maharishi
showed up because everyone was ready.

858
01: 08: 48,960 --> 01: 08: 54,960
The time of Maharishi began
with Georges's wife, Patti Boyd.

859
01: 08: 55,120 --> 01: 08: 57,240
She had heard of him.

860
01: 08: 57,400 --> 01: 09: 00,360
Maharishi had often been to London.

861
01: 09: 00,520 --> 01: 09: 03,680
I can remember his photo
from the subway

862
01: 09: 03,840 --> 01: 09: 06,680
long before Beatles discovered him.

863
01: 09: 06,840 --> 01: 09: 12,640
They are in a situation where wealth
and fame begins to bore them.

864
01: 09: 12,800 --> 01: 09: 16,320
They are looking for something more spiritual.

865
01: 09: 16,480 --> 01: 09: 21,720
And Maharishi had a direct route
for peace and enlightenment-

866
01: 09: 21,880 --> 01: 09: 24,320
-and you just have to use
half an hour a day-

867
01: 09: 24,480 --> 01: 09: 28,040
and it perfectly suited
a rock star's concentration ability.

868
01: 09: 28,200 --> 01: 09: 32,560
I was called up
by Michael McCartney who said:

869
01: 09: 32,720 --> 01: 09: 37,080
"There must be a happening."
There were always happenings in the 1960s.

870
01: 09: 37,240 --> 01: 09: 42,160
It could just be to eat a burger
together; it was a happening.

871
01: 09: 42,320 --> 01: 09: 47,680
He said, "They are going to Bangor tomorrow
to visit Maharishi. "

872
01: 09: 47,840 --> 01: 09: 51,160
"And who is he?"
"They met him last night."

873
01: 09: 51,360 --> 01: 09: 56,720
They had been to one
of his arrangements at the Hilton Hotel.

874
01: 09: 56,880 --> 01: 10: 04,640
George was already busy
of Indian spirituality and music.

875
01: 10: 06,640 --> 01: 10: 10,560
I sat on the train
in the cabin with the four Beatles.

876
01: 10: 10,720 --> 01: 10: 14,000
This is in 1967.
It was a first class coupé.

877
01: 10: 14,160 --> 01: 10: 19,960
Once upon a time there was a closed coupe,
where you could pull the curtains for.

878
01: 10: 20,160 --> 01: 10: 24,680
I sat there with the four Beatles, me,
Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithful.

879
01: 10: 24,840 --> 01: 10: 27,320
We drove all the way to Bangor.

880
01: 10: 27,480 --> 01: 10: 31,960
Along the way, we stopped in Chester-

881
01: 10: 32,120 --> 01: 10: 36,240
-where were children on the platform
and searched for autographs.

882
01: 10: 36,400 --> 01: 10: 41,440
One could open the windows. The children
got three autographs, but not j Johns.

883
01: 10: 41,600 --> 01: 10: 44,280
John said, "I'm robbed of it."

884
01: 10: 44,440 --> 01: 10: 47,560
And then they cried,
so I wrote Johns autographs.

885
01: 10: 47,720 --> 01: 10: 52,080
Maharishi was on the same train,
and we visited him in his cabin-

886
01: 10: 52,240 --> 01: 10: 55,360
where he gave us a secret mantra

887
01: 11: 06,920 --> 01: 11: 10,600
How is it
To have Beatles as followers?

888
01: 11: 10,760 --> 01: 11: 14,360
It's great
for the younger generation-

889
01: 11: 14,520 --> 01: 11: 18,480
-for whose Beatles begins
with transcendental meditation-

890
01: 11: 18,640 --> 01: 11: 22,640
Is it an ideal energy?
for the younger generation-

891
01: 11: 22,800 --> 01: 11: 29,160
and it will give the youth a good
level of understanding and intelligence.

892
01: 11: 29,320 --> 01: 11: 33,120
I'm glad they came here last night.

893
01: 11: 33,280 --> 01: 11: 36,480
We talked together for an hour
after the event.

894
01: 11: 36,640 --> 01: 11: 39,720
They seem very intelligent and open.

895
01: 11: 39,880 --> 01: 11: 44,960
Do you think Beatles can spread your teachings
to other young people if they adopt it?

896
01: 11: 45,120 --> 01: 11: 51,480
Not only in England, all over the world, too
Beatles is known on all continents-

897
01: 11: 51,640 --> 01: 11: 54,880
and the young people are fascinated by them.

898
01: 11: 55,040 --> 01: 12: 00,360
-What do you mean about Beatles?
-They are very intelligent, young boys.

899
01: 12: 00,520 --> 01: 12: 06,040
And what about their music?
-I have not heard it.

900
01: 12: 06,200 --> 01: 12: 10,800
But they must have something grateful
in their music.

901
01: 12: 18,320 --> 01: 12: 22,800
Cynthia was always left behind,
like Candide in the song.

902
01: 12: 22,960 --> 01: 12: 29,160
When they went to Wales to hear
Maharishi, she arrived late for the train.

903
01: 12: 29,320 --> 01: 12: 32,880
They all took the train,
and she stood on the platform and cried.

904
01: 12: 33,040 --> 01: 12: 37,680
I think that Maharishi was right turning
and knew how to get a review.

905
01: 12: 37,840 --> 01: 12: 43,680
There were people from previous generations,
who had also settled on the rich-

906
01: 12: 43,840 --> 01: 12: 49,600
-for they knew that if the jetset
took their ideas to themselves-

907
01: 12: 49,760 --> 01: 12: 53,920
-well it also spread to the rest
of the population. So it was not new.

908
01: 12: 54,080 --> 01: 12: 57,440
Maharishi did the same.
Hare Krishna did it.

909
01: 12: 57,600 --> 01: 13: 01,920
They felt something with Apple
and ended with a record contract.

910
01: 13: 02,080 --> 01: 13: 04,880
If anyone knows Hare Krishna-

911
01: 13: 05,040 --> 01: 13: 10,680
-would they know that they achieved
their popularity through the Beatles.

912
01: 13: 41,600 --> 01: 13: 47,640
I know from my own experience,
what they experienced.

913
01: 13: 47,800 --> 01: 13: 55,040
You are experiencing a part in such a band,
and you just want to discover more.

914
01: 13: 55,200 --> 01: 14: 00,960
You are playing live on stage, one creates
music, you have amazing experiences ...

915
01: 14: 01,120 --> 01: 14: 07,560
It's amazing input,
and you should be able to handle it.

916
01: 14: 07,720 --> 01: 14: 12,800
They must have led the spirituality
on a higher level.

917
01: 14: 12,960 --> 01: 14: 19,560
Maharishi was clever. An American
Woman advertised for him in America.

918
01: 14: 19,720 --> 01: 14: 24,600
It was her son who stayed
Bungalow Bill on "The White Album".

919
01: 14: 24,760 --> 01: 14: 29,880
So yes he knew the value very well
of the review-

920
01: 14: 30,040 --> 01: 14: 33,200
- in connection with these four
most famous guys-

921
01: 14: 33,360 --> 01: 14: 36,200
-in least the most famous singing group.

922
01: 14: 36,360 --> 01: 14: 42,120
He knew nothing about their music, but
He knew the value of their propagation.

923
01: 14: 43,400 --> 01: 14: 46,400
Maharishi was a dreaded businessman.

924
01: 14: 46,560 --> 01: 14: 52,480
He had studied physics at the university,
so he had a scientific side-

925
01: 14: 52,640 --> 01: 14: 57,880
a PR page,
and see this spiritual side.

926
01: 15: 13,600 --> 01: 15: 19,280
We reached Bangor. When it was evening,
the roadiers were still not arrived.

927
01: 15: 19,440 --> 01: 15: 25,360
We went to town to eat.
We went to Chinese restaurant.

928
01: 15: 25,520 --> 01: 15: 30,040
The bill was ten pounds,
and I only had five pounds on me

929
01: 15: 31,360 --> 01: 15: 34,800
I apologized many times.

930
01: 15: 34,960 --> 01: 15: 39,320
There were Chinese waiters there enough
had come from Hong Kong the day before.

931
01: 15: 39,480 --> 01: 15: 42,200
They could only hear a Liverpool accent.

932
01: 15: 42,360 --> 01: 15: 47,360
It was quite common that it came
roots from Liverpool on Saturday evening.

933
01: 15: 47,520 --> 01: 15: 51,400
They wanted to eat and drink
and run from the bill.

934
01: 15: 51,560 --> 01: 15: 54,400
They closed the door, flip the knives ...

935
01: 15: 54,560 --> 01: 15: 58,600
I said, "I am a journalist
at the Sunday Times. Here's my card. "

936
01: 15: 58,760 --> 01: 16: 02,760
"I'm coming with the money tomorrow."
It was developing-

937
01: 16: 02,920 --> 01: 16: 06,400
George put his foot on the table.

938
01: 16: 06,560 --> 01: 16: 10,000
He had handmade,
Indian sandals on.

939
01: 16: 10,160 --> 01: 16: 13,520
He asked for a knife
and cut off the top.

940
01: 16: 13,680 --> 01: 16: 17,960
Beatles had been famous
for four years.

941
01: 16: 18,120 --> 01: 16: 21,520
Like another royal family they were
stopped spending money.

942
01: 16: 21,680 --> 01: 16: 25,040
Roadiers kept the money.

943
01: 16: 25,200 --> 01: 16: 30,000
George gets the sandal up
and drew a 20-dollar note forward.

944
01: 16: 30,160 --> 01: 16: 37,120
They were world famous multimillionaires,
but had no clear money.

945
01: 16: 37,280 --> 01: 16: 43,200
He had thought he had a wonderful day
would need serious cash.

946
01: 16: 43,360 --> 01: 16: 47,040
And it was that evening.

947
01: 16: 48,000 --> 01: 16: 52,800
Brian Epstein arranged a party
to celebrate "Sgt. Pepper".

948
01: 16: 52,960 --> 01: 16: 59,720
Beatles would really like
have had a special commercial

949
01: 16: 59,880 --> 01: 17: 04,400
-the time collapsed
with the release. It did not happen.

950
01: 17: 04,560 --> 01: 17: 10,000
But Brian had started playing-

951
01: 17: 10,160 --> 01: 17: 15,240
and he also took too many pills.
He slid farther and farther away.

952
01: 17: 15,400 --> 01: 17: 22,360
Even Cilla Black and her husband
went to brian and asked for a new manager.

953
01: 17: 22,560 --> 01: 17: 25,640
He cried and praised her to stay.

954
01: 17: 25,800 --> 01: 17: 30,440
Brian was gay.

955
01: 17: 32,520 --> 01: 17: 35,320
People around him knew it.

956
01: 17: 35,480 --> 01: 17: 39,320
The strange thing was ...

957
01: 17: 39,480 --> 01: 17: 45,440
Everyone thought he was fond of Paul,
for Paul was the kind of them.

958
01: 17: 45,600 --> 01: 17: 49,720
But he was fond of John,
because he preferred macho guys.

959
01: 17: 49,880 --> 01: 17: 54,320
When he was on a hunt in London-

960
01: 17: 54,480 --> 01: 17: 58,120
did he always go for guys,
There were no gays.

961
01: 17: 58,280 --> 01: 18: 03,400
He wanted to drink them in the fence
and take them home.

962
01: 18: 04,440 --> 01: 18: 07,960
He would try to bring them to bed,
and then they tore him.

963
01: 18: 08,120 --> 01: 18: 12,200
That's what he turned on.
He was a masochist and got bored.

964
01: 18: 13,240 --> 01: 18: 18,000
And afterwards they stole his things.

965
01: 18: 18,160 --> 01: 18: 21,600
They often stole tape
and sent them to Radio Luxembourg.

966
01: 18: 21,760 --> 01: 18: 24,160
It was horrible.

967
01: 18: 24,320 --> 01: 18: 30,560
Imagine if they stole Beatles ties,
which had not been released yet.

968
01: 18: 30,720 --> 01: 18: 33,360
There was not much for Brian to make.

969
01: 18: 33,520 --> 01: 18: 41,080
But his company, NEMS, had become the world
largest entertainment company.

970
01: 18: 41,280 --> 01: 18: 43,960
They all represented.

971
01: 18: 44,160 --> 01: 18: 49,000
Beatles, Andy Williams, Bee Gees,
Cream, Donovan, Tony Bennett ...

972
01: 18: 49,160 --> 01: 18: 53,280
And that had happened
within four years time.

973
01: 18: 53,440 --> 01: 18: 57,840
If Beatles ceased to tour,
and they were

974
01: 18: 59,240 --> 01: 19: 04,560
And reaches the record contracts
was signed and handed-

975
01: 19: 04,720 --> 01: 19: 11,400
and the publishing contracts were in place,
then there was nothing for a manager to do.

976
01: 19: 11,560 --> 01: 19: 14,720
They addressed others
to get good advice-

977
01: 19: 14,880 --> 01: 19: 19,280
-how they should live
spend their money and their sense

978
01: 19: 19,440 --> 01: 19: 23,120
And Brian felt more and more outside.
He took more and more drugs-

979
01: 19: 23,280 --> 01: 19: 28,040
-rended for lovers,
and became more promiscuous.

980
01: 19: 28,200 --> 01: 19: 32,920
He distanced himself from them,
just as they distanced themselves from him.

981
01: 19: 37,680 --> 01: 19: 41,280
They entered into his
transcendental meditation movement.

982
01: 19: 41,440 --> 01: 19: 44,960
And they were going to a course in Bangor
in northern Wales.

983
01: 19: 45,120 --> 01: 19: 48,480
It was a big circus,
when they sat on the train-

984
01: 19: 48,640 --> 01: 19: 53,360
-to deal with this much
different teaching environment.

985
01: 19: 53,520 --> 01: 19: 57,880
And it was there,
The news of Brian's death reached them.

986
01: 19: 58,080 --> 01: 20: 02,720
The housekeeper found him in his
bedroom just after 14 o'clock.

987
01: 20: 02,880 --> 01: 20: 05,560
She said he was used to habits
to sleep long for the weekend-

988
01: 20: 05,760 --> 01: 20: 09,360
-If he had a hard week.

989
01: 20: 09,520 --> 01: 20: 14,400
She said he was at home
the whole of the previous day and evening.

990
01: 20: 14,520 --> 01: 20: 17,440
Mr. Epstein had been ill
for a few months.

991
01: 20: 17,600 --> 01: 20: 20,920
He has taken sleeping medicine to sleep.

992
01: 20: 21,120 --> 01: 20: 26,680
For only a month ago, experienced
he's sudden death of his father.

993
01: 20: 26,880 --> 01: 20: 31,200
Friends had tried to persuade him
to holiday.

994
01: 20: 31,360 --> 01: 20: 35,520
But he must have said so late
as yesterday he was completely upstairs.

995
01: 20: 35,640 --> 01: 20: 39,920
The friends have come here
all afternoon and evening.

996
01: 20: 40,080 --> 01: 20: 43,760
They have spoken to his lawyer,
mr. David Jacobs.

997
01: 20: 43,920 --> 01: 20: 48,640
And one of them left the house a little while ago
and said it was an accident.

998
01: 20: 48,800 --> 01: 20: 51,560
He was unhappy.

999
01: 20: 51,720 --> 01: 20: 55,600
He never had a regular partner.

1000
01: 20: 55,760 --> 01: 20: 58,920
He had lots of partners,
many from apple-

1001
01: 20: 59,080 --> 01: 21: 02,600
But it never became true
a proper relationship.

1002
01: 21: 02,760 --> 01: 21: 07,520
When he had these guys here,
and it went crazy-

1003
01: 21: 07,680 --> 01: 21: 13,920
He was depressed and took pills
and was suicidal.

1004
01: 21: 14,080 --> 01: 21: 20,080
He did not commit suicide, but he had
tried to commit suicide earlier.

1005
01: 21: 20,240 --> 01: 21: 23,880
And that made him depressed ...

1006
01: 21: 25,680 --> 01: 21: 28,720
How would you like to pay mr. Epstein?

1007
01: 21: 28,880 --> 01: 21: 33,320
We do not know what to say.
We loved him. He was one of us.

1008
01: 21: 33,480 --> 01: 21: 36,880
We can not express it in words.

1009
01: 21: 37,040 --> 01: 21: 38,960
What is your plan now?

1010
01: 21: 39,120 --> 01: 21: 43,480
We are going home to London and help,
as good as we can.

1011
01: 21: 43,680 --> 01: 21: 47,560
Can Maharashi comfort you?

1012
01: 21: 47,720 --> 01: 21: 53,320
Meditation can give you strength
to stand against something like this.

1013
01: 21: 53,480 --> 01: 21: 56,440
Even the little we have learned so far.

1014
01: 21: 56,600 --> 01: 22: 01,680
Some of it,
we have already learned is-

1015
01: 22: 01,840 --> 01: 22: 07,680
-at death is not found
Death is found on a physical plane-

1016
01: 22: 07,840 --> 01: 22: 12,320
-but life goes on like before.

1017
01: 22: 12,480 --> 01: 22: 18,520
So that's not bad.
It's bad, but not yet.

1018
01: 22: 19,640 --> 01: 22: 24,360
It is a comfort to know,
that he's okay.

1019
01: 22: 26,000 --> 01: 22: 30,920
I can understand that Maharishi
talked to you this afternoon.

1020
01: 22: 31,080 --> 01: 22: 34,280
May I ask what advice he gave you?

1021
01: 22: 34,440 --> 01: 22: 39,440
He said we should not
let the sorrow strike us out

1022
01: 22: 39,600 --> 01: 22: 42,720
-mind happy thoughts about brian-

1023
01: 22: 42,880 --> 01: 22: 47,120
-for our thoughts will reach him,
wherever he is.

1024
01: 22: 47,280 --> 01: 22: 52,000
-Had he met mr. Epstein?
-No. But he looked forward to meeting him.

1025
01: 22: 52,160 --> 01: 22: 55,240
-Tomorrow?
-Yes.

1026
01: 22: 55,400 --> 01: 22: 58,440
One can see that John is completely knocked out.

1027
01: 22: 58,600 --> 01: 23: 04,200
They were very busy with Maharishi.
It was not just a new grill.

1028
01: 23: 04,360 --> 01: 23: 06,560
They believed in him.

1029
01: 23: 06,720 --> 01: 23: 11,920
They ended up in pure chaos.
Brian died.

1030
01: 23: 12,080 --> 01: 23: 17,320
And it...
There are enough periods in everyone's life-

1031
01: 23: 17,480 --> 01: 23: 25,720
where we turn to one
or other kind of religious philosophy

1032
01: 23: 25,880 --> 01: 23: 30,120
-in a search for answers.
And that's what they did.

1033
01: 23: 31,240 --> 01: 23: 34,480
I got up early early
by a friend.

1034
01: 23: 34,640 --> 01: 23: 38,040
And I could not believe it.

1035
01: 23: 38,200 --> 01: 23: 43,680
I remember that I was thinking,
how we could continue

1036
01: 23: 43,800 --> 01: 23: 50,280
It was a huge shock for everyone.
How would it go?

1037
01: 23: 50,440 --> 01: 23: 54,160
I remember,
that Maharishi said to them,

1038
01: 23: 55,280 --> 01: 24: 00,080
"You must not be sad,
because he has moved on to the next stage. "

1039
01: 24: 00,240 --> 01: 24: 06,600
"Do not be sad.
He has traveled, and he is going to ... "

1040
01: 24: 06,760 --> 01: 24: 14,040
He said everything was messing up, and unfortunately
the Beatles interview was immediately after-

1041
01: 24: 14,200 --> 01: 24: 17,680
that Maharishi had said
all that nonsense.

1042
01: 24: 17,840 --> 01: 24: 21,120
And they seemed heartless.

1043
01: 24: 22,240 --> 01: 24: 28,560
Brian's mother and Brian's brother were shaken
over the way it was manufactured.

1044
01: 24: 28,720 --> 01: 24: 30,800
They did not mean it.

1045
01: 24: 30,960 --> 01: 24: 35,680
Brian should have been in Bangor
That week, but he stayed home.

1046
01: 24: 35,840 --> 01: 24: 40,920
This weekend invited
Robert Stigwood got me home for drinks.

1047
01: 24: 41,080 --> 01: 24: 48,040
And when I arrived, Brian was there.
We sat watching tv and got some drinks.

1048
01: 24: 48,200 --> 01: 24: 52,800
Afterwards we went to Battersea Tivoli,
where we went for some hours.

1049
01: 24: 52,920 --> 01: 24: 58,840
We smoke some pot. I can remember we
fist and you do when you smoke.

1050
01: 24: 59,000 --> 01: 25: 05,000
And then we went out and ate together. Brian
asked if we could not see again.

1051
01: 25: 05,160 --> 01: 25: 07,640
So we agreed to meet the next evening.

1052
01: 25: 07,800 --> 01: 25: 14,040
And the next evening we drove
to Islington and ate at Frederick's.

1053
01: 25: 14,200 --> 01: 25: 17,640
We drove home to him afterwards
and got some drinks.

1054
01: 25: 17,800 --> 01: 25: 22,640
It became quite obvious that Brian
I would like to stay there overnight.

1055
01: 25: 22,800 --> 01: 25: 25,640
And I certainly did not want that.

1056
01: 25: 25,800 --> 01: 25: 30,800
I said I would go,
and Brian was moped.

1057
01: 25: 30,960 --> 01: 25: 36,080
And I went. He asked if I did not
would come and stay there this weekend?

1058
01: 25: 36,240 --> 01: 25: 42,560
I knew why he asked, I saw
answered that we could talk about it later.

1059
01: 25: 42,720 --> 01: 25: 47,920
He called the next day and asked again,
and I said I was going to Ireland.

1060
01: 25: 48,080 --> 01: 25: 51,000
What do we know
about the end of Brian's life?

1061
01: 25: 51,160 --> 01: 25: 55,800
Nothing.
And we never find out.

1062
01: 25: 55,960 --> 01: 26: 01,680
I talked to you the following day,
and she...

1063
01: 26: 01,840 --> 01: 26: 06,080
They did not even know,
that he was at home.

1064
01: 26: 06,240 --> 01: 26: 08,880
He should have been in the country.

1065
01: 26: 10,720 --> 01: 26: 15,960
She told me that the driver had called
and said he could not get the door open.

1066
01: 26: 16,120 --> 01: 26: 21,600
She then went there and found him.

1067
01: 26: 21,760 --> 01: 26: 29,160
I did not understand because he had
seemed happy to be in the country.

1068
01: 26: 29,320 --> 01: 26: 34,280
Why did he come home in the middle of the weekend?

1069
01: 26: 35,640 --> 01: 26: 38,400
But we never find out.

1070
01: 26: 41,160 --> 01: 26: 44,640
Will I tell you about me and Brian?
-Yes please.

1071
01: 26: 45,640 --> 01: 26: 50,680
While I was in Ireland, I was called
up and was told that Brian was dead.

1072
01: 26: 50,880 --> 01: 26: 56,320
I read the newspapers and they wrote that he
had been found dead by an overdose.

1073
01: 26: 56,480 --> 01: 27: 00,840
I had one of the first answering machines
at home at all.

1074
01: 27: 01,000 --> 01: 27: 06,240
It was made especially for me
a company that developed phones.

1075
01: 27: 06,400 --> 01: 27: 12,680
I had a sixth sense that
when I got home and pressed it-

1076
01: 27: 12,840 --> 01: 27: 15,320
Well, there's a message from Brian.

1077
01: 27: 15,480 --> 01: 27: 19,480
When I came home,
there were several messages from Brian.

1078
01: 27: 19,680 --> 01: 27: 22,760
He had taken the land as planned.

1079
01: 27: 22,920 --> 01: 27: 28,760
He rang while I was in Ireland.
He asked me to come down to the country.

1080
01: 27: 28,920 --> 01: 27: 32,360
And then he called and said,
that he went home and asked me to come.

1081
01: 27: 32,520 --> 01: 27: 35,400
I did not hear the messages.
I was in Ireland.

1082
01: 27: 35,560 --> 01: 27: 38,920
He made several messages,
and they became more and more snowy.

1083
01: 27: 39,080 --> 01: 27: 43,560
It was quite clear,
that he took sleeping pills or something else.

1084
01: 27: 43,720 --> 01: 27: 48,280
He fell asleep, woke up and forgot,
that he had taken one and took one more.

1085
01: 27: 48,480 --> 01: 27: 56,080
The last message was very blurred.
He said, "Simon, only you were here."

1086
01: 27: 56,240 --> 01: 28: 00,560
And then he died.
So I was a little involved in it.

1087
01: 28: 00,720 --> 01: 28: 05,200
And I did the typical British,
correct and deleted tape.

1088
01: 28: 09,120 --> 01: 28: 12,080
I did not even listen again.

1089
01: 28: 12,240 --> 01: 28: 15,200
I did not know what it was worth.

1090
01: 28: 34,200 --> 01: 28: 38,480
Brian Epstein was with all the way.
It was a huge shock.

1091
01: 28: 38,640 --> 01: 28: 42,280
Would they be able to continue?
What should happen?

1092
01: 28: 44,040 --> 01: 28: 47,760
When you look back on it, it is,
as if he had played his role.

1093
01: 28: 47,920 --> 01: 28: 53,760
He had traveled beyond,
and they were heading somewhere else.

1094
01: 28: 54,920 --> 01: 28: 59,600
They discovered,
that their protector had disappeared.

1095
01: 28: 59,760 --> 01: 29: 02,520
As a protective parent.

1096
01: 29: 02,680 --> 01: 29: 07,800
Brian's agreements were not always
the most favorable for the Beatles-

1097
01: 29: 07,960 --> 01: 29: 12,040
because he was based on trades,
Previously concluded

1098
01: 29: 12,200 --> 01: 29: 15,000
and it was a whole new territory.

1099
01: 29: 15,160 --> 01: 29: 20,360
But he devoted himself to the task
to fully protect them.

1100
01: 29: 20,520 --> 01: 29: 27,520
Take the example of John's opinion about,
that they were more popular than Jesus.

1101
01: 29: 27,680 --> 01: 29: 32,560
Brian was so nervous about their safety,
that he would cancel the tour in America.

1102
01: 29: 32,720 --> 01: 29: 36,480
He could not, but he would like to.

1103
01: 29: 36,640 --> 01: 29: 40,200
And the impenetrable protection
was now gone.

1104
01: 29: 40,360 --> 01: 29: 43,400
He had taken care of that,
from the moment he met them.

1105
01: 29: 43,560 --> 01: 29: 46,040
He protected them.

1106
01: 29: 46,200 --> 01: 29: 51,640
Brians ... employee-

1107
01: 29: 51,800 --> 01: 29: 56,560
-Peter Brown
and the others at the NEMS office-

1108
01: 29: 56,720 --> 01: 30: 01,160
-The serviced Beatles.
They paid all their bills-

1109
01: 30: 01,320 --> 01: 30: 04,920
-The purchased gifts
to their girlfriends and wives.

1110
01: 30: 05,080 --> 01: 30: 11,920
It was claimed that Brian was a bad manager,
and he could have invested better.

1111
01: 30: 12,080 --> 01: 30: 15,000
But without him
they would not have been

1112
01: 30: 15,160 --> 01: 30: 19,840
His devotion and conviction that,
that they would be something ...

1113
01: 30: 20,000 --> 01: 30: 23,640
He did otherwise,
as expected by a manager-

1114
01: 30: 23,800 --> 01: 30: 28,720
-to keep
all the snatches away from them.

1115
01: 30: 28,880 --> 01: 30: 33,520
It's a little messy for it succeeded
not Brian to do it for himself.

1116
01: 30: 33,680 --> 01: 30: 39,520
They snatched him and beat him
money. But he cherished the Beatles.

1117
01: 30: 39,680 --> 01: 30: 46,120
So without him, and then his cautious
deal with money had disappeared-

1118
01: 30: 46,280 --> 01: 30: 49,280
-therefore, the fools were categorized about them.

1119
01: 30: 49,440 --> 01: 30: 55,000
A group needs a referee.
The fewest groups agree on everything.

1120
01: 30: 55,160 --> 01: 31: 00,880
We saw in the magazine Help,
that they all four lived together

1121
01: 31: 01,040 --> 01: 31: 06,520
But it was only a short time,
while they filmed.

1122
01: 31: 06,680 --> 01: 31: 10,760
You develop in a group,
and you are not always agreed-

1123
01: 31: 10,920 --> 01: 31: 15,680
-but you make it work-

1124
01: 31: 15,840 --> 01: 31: 21,240
-and reaches to some form
for common understanding.

1125
01: 31: 21,400 --> 01: 31: 26,240
But when Brian died, nobody was there
to take over as leader.

1126
01: 31: 26,400 --> 01: 31: 31,520
They could not do anything alone.
It had always been him.

1127
01: 31: 35,440 --> 01: 31: 39,480
As a band it was him,
They held them together.

1128
01: 31: 39,640 --> 01: 31: 45,720
But they came back quickly on the track again
and started Apple.

1129
01: 31: 45,880 --> 01: 31: 51,040
Apple was a financial maneuver
in the attempt to secure their fortunes-

1130
01: 31: 51,200 --> 01: 31: 54,840
and to avoid paying
Too much in income tax.

1131
01: 31: 55,000 --> 01: 31: 58,000
They could avoid that
by investing in a company.

1132
01: 31: 58,160 --> 01: 32: 01,680
They made a mistake.

1133
01: 32: 01,840 --> 01: 32: 06,040
It did not protect
their musical rights.

1134
01: 32: 06,200 --> 01: 32: 09,800
It was a short-term financial maneuver.

1135
01: 32: 09,960 --> 01: 32: 15,120
It should be a record mark
with other support companies.

1136
01: 32: 15,280 --> 01: 32: 19,560
The influence of Beatles stretched out
to all other areas, like fashion.

1137
01: 32: 19,720 --> 01: 32: 24,000
They should open a store
and everything possible.

1138
01: 32: 24,120 --> 01: 32: 26,800
It should be a counseling-

1139
01: 32: 26,960 --> 01: 32: 33,360
-what creative people
could get support and sympathy

1140
01: 32: 33,520 --> 01: 32: 37,480
For Beatles, remember,
when they did not get support.

1141
01: 32: 37,640 --> 01: 32: 41,320
But Beatles always got support!
It's a myth.

1142
01: 32: 41,480 --> 01: 32: 47,040
They had Brian Epstein,
George Martin and Dick James.

1143
01: 32: 47,160 --> 01: 32: 52,120
They had three honest men there only
worked for them and supported them.

1144
01: 32: 52,280 --> 01: 32: 58,600
But no, they had a hard time
so they would help other distressed people.

1145
01: 32: 58,760 --> 01: 33: 05,120
I interviewed Paul, like
had lots of communist ideas.

1146
01: 33: 05,280 --> 01: 33: 10,640
I thought it would never go.
But I was a little in doubt ...

1147
01: 33: 10,800 --> 01: 33: 14,760
That sounds interesting, but ...

1148
01: 33: 14,920 --> 01: 33: 20,560
It was Paul, and maybe they were right.
It turned out that they did not.

1149
01: 33: 20,720 --> 01: 33: 24,480
How to think Alice Pollock and Ossie Clark,
that girls will go dressed in summer.

1150
01: 33: 24,600 --> 01: 33: 26,600
A few of the beatlers were among the audience.

1151
01: 33: 26,760 --> 01: 33: 32,360
George Harrison's wife,
Patti Boyd, model, and John Lennon.

1152
01: 33: 36,520 --> 01: 33: 42,240
From curls to dresses, or rather
a leather suits to 25 guinea.

1153
01: 33: 43,680 --> 01: 33: 47,960
Patti Boyd in an "African Queen"
in crepe for 9.5 guinea.

1154
01: 33: 48,120 --> 01: 33: 52,080
And a bit less formal,
a white satin jacket and black pants.

1155
01: 33: 52,240 --> 01: 33: 55,480
I worked at the Apple Store
from the beginning.

1156
01: 33: 55,640 --> 01: 34: 00,480
I was there the three months before
We traveled to India.

1157
01: 34: 00,640 --> 01: 34: 05,000
And that was so different
than anything else.

1158
01: 34: 05,160 --> 01: 34: 08,480
We had beautiful nips items
from India-

1159
01: 34: 08,640 --> 01: 34: 13,000
and pictures with Ganesha,
gods and goddesses.

1160
01: 34: 13,160 --> 01: 34: 17,280
It was very exiting
to work there.

1161
01: 34: 17,400 --> 01: 34: 21,880
But it was also in line with,
how we felt in that time.

1162
01: 34: 23,760 --> 01: 34: 29,600
The world can be full of colors.
It does not just have to be black and white.

1163
01: 34: 29,760 --> 01: 34: 33,440
-Have they visited you?
-Yes yesterday.

1164
01: 34: 33,600 --> 01: 34: 36,760
We greeted you shortly,
as soon as they arrived.

1165
01: 34: 38,160 --> 01: 34: 41,840
And now they have been with me
since ten o'clock.

1166
01: 34: 42,000 --> 01: 34: 44,800
After they had eaten breakfast.

1167
01: 34: 44,960 --> 01: 34: 49,920
-How long were they with you?
-For ten o'clock. About three hours.

1168
01: 34: 50,080 --> 01: 34: 53,400
Did you meditate or talk to you?

1169
01: 34: 53,560 --> 01: 34: 57,280
We meditated and spoke and meditated.
They are very intelligent.

1170
01: 34: 58,280 --> 01: 35: 03,880
Are they so educated in meditation?
What is their status?

1171
01: 35: 04,040 --> 01: 35: 08,960
-I hope so.
-What should they do to achieve that?

1172
01: 35: 09,120 --> 01: 35: 15,360
They must achieve a deep,
clear experience of being there.

1173
01: 35: 15,520 --> 01: 35: 20,440
I had mistakenly been told that
that I had a throat infection.

1174
01: 35: 20,640 --> 01: 35: 24,480
It was something completely different.
But people came to hospital visits.

1175
01: 35: 24,640 --> 01: 35: 30,280
And John and Cynthia came one of the days,
and John had drawn a drawing to me.

1176
01: 35: 30,440 --> 01: 35: 35,160
It was a drawing of an inner
with turban.

1177
01: 35: 35,320 --> 01: 35: 39,040
He plays the whistle.
He is in tailor-made

1178
01: 35: 39,200 --> 01: 35: 42,880
And at the feet he has a basket
with a snake on the way up.

1179
01: 35: 43,040 --> 01: 35: 47,680
There stood:
"With the inner and outer strength-

1180
01: 35: 47,840 --> 01: 35: 52,440
-I deliver you for your evil almonds.
Dear John and Cyn. "

1181
01: 35: 52,600 --> 01: 35: 56,680
George talked a lot about
their experiences with LSD.

1182
01: 35: 56,840 --> 01: 36: 02,360
He saw it as climbing a mountain
to discover another mountain behind.

1183
01: 36: 02,520 --> 01: 36: 07,440
I think,
He would like to experience the whole drug freeze.

1184
01: 36: 07,600 --> 01: 36: 10,960
It gave them a natural break
from it all.

1185
01: 36: 11,120 --> 01: 36: 15,720
They got an apology
to be together in peace and quiet.

1186
01: 36: 15,880 --> 01: 36: 20,640
I do not know how Maharishi entered
their life, but he was not the first one.

1187
01: 36: 20,800 --> 01: 36: 26,480
I was with them all the time
and saw them on the Scotch of St. James.

1188
01: 36: 26,640 --> 01: 36: 30,360
And already then they saw
another kind of guru.

1189
01: 36: 30,520 --> 01: 36: 35,600
I think Maharishi was number two
in the series of Indian mystics.

1190
01: 36: 35,760 --> 01: 36: 39,880
They might discover,
that the first was not at the top level.

1191
01: 36: 40,040 --> 01: 36: 42,960
So they went to India with Maharishi.

1192
01: 36: 43,120 --> 01: 36: 47,440
Afterwards we found out,
that he was a bit of a scam maker.

1193
01: 36: 47,600 --> 01: 36: 51,120
But he gave them a five-star stay.

1194
01: 36: 51,280 --> 01: 36: 55,760
It is very nice to immerse yourself
in the Indian mystical and its aesthetics-

1195
01: 36: 55,920 --> 01: 36: 58,840
-from a five-star hotel room.

1196
01: 36: 59,000 --> 01: 37: 03,080
I have a funny story
from their visit to India.

1197
01: 37: 04,240 --> 01: 37: 09,120
Maureen, Ringo's wife,
be scared of insects.

1198
01: 37: 09,280 --> 01: 37: 14,760
She went to Harrod's and bought
an adult-sized kite suit.

1199
01: 37: 14,920 --> 01: 37: 17,240
So they could not bother her.

1200
01: 37: 18,480 --> 01: 37: 24,320
And Richie, who had a sweet belly,
because he had been ill as a child-

1201
01: 37: 24,480 --> 01: 37: 30,120
asked me to buy a litervis
Dr. Collis Browne's diarrhea.

1202
01: 37: 30,280 --> 01: 37: 34,240
And I should fill the suitcase
with baked beans.

1203
01: 37: 34,400 --> 01: 37: 37,240
Baked Beans and Dr. Collis Browne.

1204
01: 37: 37,400 --> 01: 37: 44,000
I did so.
His entire suitcase was full of it.

1205
01: 37: 44,160 --> 01: 37: 47,000
And then they came home after two weeks ...

1206
01: 37: 47,160 --> 01: 37: 53,040
I asked Maureen,
if they had finished eating all the beans.

1207
01: 37: 53,200 --> 01: 37: 57,520
The whole Apple concept had been devised,
before Brian died.

1208
01: 37: 57,680 --> 01: 38: 02,880
He was worried that it would
make him even more redundant.

1209
01: 38: 03,000 --> 01: 38: 08,960
They did not say he could not join,
but that was not his initiative.

1210
01: 38: 09,120 --> 01: 38: 12,840
I heard they talked about Apple,
several weeks before Brian died.

1211
01: 38: 13,000 --> 01: 38: 17,320
I think it helped to give him
the feeling of being outside.

1212
01: 38: 18,520 --> 01: 38: 24,600
When they bought Apple, we used to eat
lunch together in the big office.

1213
01: 38: 25,800 --> 01: 38: 29,000
We had a cook who came.

1214
01: 38: 30,440 --> 01: 38: 35,520
One day Paul came ... The lost money,
because they almost gave them away.

1215
01: 38: 35,680 --> 01: 38: 38,880
Paul said, "There comes a man-

1216
01: 38: 39,040 --> 01: 38: 45,200
-that should tell us,
What we are doing wrong with the business. "

1217
01: 38: 45,360 --> 01: 38: 50,560
It was Beeching.
He was invited for lunch.

1218
01: 38: 51,760 --> 01: 38: 56,280
He should figure out,
what we did wrong.

1219
01: 38: 56,440 --> 01: 38: 59,360
They ate breakfast.

1220
01: 38: 59,520 --> 01: 39: 03,160
I took notes from the meeting afterwards.

1221
01: 39: 05,520 --> 01: 39: 11,480
He told Paul: "I do not think so,
that I want to be the great help-

1222
01: 39: 11,640 --> 01: 39: 16,400
Because I work for much bigger
organizations than Apple. "

1223
01: 39: 16,560 --> 01: 39: 20,800
And Paul was absolutely amazed.
"My Goodness."

1224
01: 39: 21,760 --> 01: 39: 25,560
And I looked at Paul and said,
"Yes, I think so right."

1225
01: 39: 25,720 --> 01: 39: 32,600
They had some good ideas, but also
many crazy ideas like opening a publishing house.

1226
01: 39: 32,760 --> 01: 39: 38,440
Big ambitions. And they called people
to send their poems and novels in.

1227
01: 39: 38,600 --> 01: 39: 44,240
They did not have time to read it.
They were not at all geared to it.

1228
01: 39: 44,400 --> 01: 39: 47,760
Also in that area they were pioneers.

1229
01: 39: 47,920 --> 01: 39: 51,840
They started to get more control
over their product

1230
01: 39: 52,000 --> 01: 39: 57,120
control over their record cover,
and what expression it got.

1231
01: 39: 57,240 --> 01: 40: 02,920
Eventually they got control of most, but
not as much as you would get today.

1232
01: 40: 03,080 --> 01: 40: 08,040
The problem with Apple and all that,
that took place in Baker Street, where

1233
01: 40: 08,200 --> 01: 40: 15,120
that they had plenty of money and freedom,
and new fashion's Indian ideas ...

1234
01: 40: 15,280 --> 01: 40: 21,240
They had many chilling followers,
who knew exactly what they were doing.

1235
01: 40: 21,400 --> 01: 40: 29,000
It was Magic Alex. Who found out
to wallpaper the studio with microphones-

1236
01: 40: 29,160 --> 01: 40: 34,080
-to get the world's best sound?
Magic Alex.

1237
01: 40: 34,240 --> 01: 40: 40,000
And I think that John especially thought,
that he was magic.

1238
01: 40: 40,160 --> 01: 40: 44,200
They were pretty naive.
We probably were all together.

1239
01: 40: 44,360 --> 01: 40: 47,640
Everything was so new.

1240
01: 40: 47,800 --> 01: 40: 54,240
But it was quite appealing that they were so
generous with their own fame.

1241
01: 40: 54,400 --> 01: 40: 58,200
If one came and said,
that they made a delicious vanilla bout-

1242
01: 40: 58,360 --> 01: 41: 01,440
-ville John say,
that they should have pudding every day.

1243
01: 41: 01,600 --> 01: 41: 09,520
Anyone could get a job there, saw it
abound with sweet talentless people.

1244
01: 41: 09,680 --> 01: 41: 12,320
It was similar to the Apple store.

1245
01: 41: 12,480 --> 01: 41: 17,200
They sold little designer clothes.
Interesting, non-commercial stuff.

1246
01: 41: 17,360 --> 01: 41: 22,200
Almost everything they touched
was non-commercial.

1247
01: 41: 22,360 --> 01: 41: 26,560
Neil was incredibly conscientious
and good man.

1248
01: 41: 28,120 --> 01: 41: 31,400
And Peter worked hard too.

1249
01: 41: 31,560 --> 01: 41: 35,920
So the office was run
very efficiently.

1250
01: 41: 37,240 --> 01: 41: 40,440
I had an office in between
Neil and Peter.

1251
01: 41: 40,600 --> 01: 41: 46,680
Neil and Mal were in progress
"The Long and Winding Road".

1252
01: 41: 47,680 --> 01: 41: 50,680
They recorded on tape.

1253
01: 41: 50,840 --> 01: 41: 57,680
I wrote all the letters
to America-

1254
01: 41: 57,840 --> 01: 42: 04,280
-to all the media and asked for
to get their TV footage with the Beatles.

1255
01: 42: 04,440 --> 01: 42: 09,160
And so we got it all back
from America. They were pretty good.

1256
01: 42: 09,320 --> 01: 42: 15,440
And then one evening
I walked past Neil's office.

1257
01: 42: 15,600 --> 01: 42: 19,800
Neil and Mal sat by the fireplace.
I'll never forget that.

1258
01: 42: 19,960 --> 01: 42: 26,280
And I had to crawl over,
I should not mention this at all ...

1259
01: 42: 26,440 --> 01: 42: 31,440
I had to crawl over Derek Taylor,
which lay and knocked on the floor.

1260
01: 42: 31,600 --> 01: 42: 36,840
The cartoon makes fun of Maharishi.
Have you finished him now?

1261
01: 42: 37,000 --> 01: 42: 41,880
We are not done with him,
but we are over that stage in our lives.

1262
01: 42: 42,040 --> 01: 42: 47,040
He is still a strange man,
but we no longer deal with it.

1263
01: 42: 47,160 --> 01: 42: 53,160
I thought he was a scamper
right from the start.

1264
01: 42: 53,320 --> 01: 42: 59,520
One of the problems ... John was the worst,
because he was hoping for anything.

1265
01: 42: 59,640 --> 01: 43: 03,040
He was easy to seduce.

1266
01: 43: 03,200 --> 01: 43: 09,000
And it was a problem that they were
been protected as a group for so long.

1267
01: 43: 09,160 --> 01: 43: 15,320
I was sure that
that he was a scam maker.

1268
01: 43: 15,480 --> 01: 43: 21,280
Meditation is certainly very good
for those who are such.

1269
01: 43: 21,440 --> 01: 43: 25,080
But I did not believe it.
And I still do not.

1270
01: 43: 25,240 --> 01: 43: 29,640
Beatles believed
on the spiritual side of life

1271
01: 43: 31,280 --> 01: 43: 33,440
They wanted to spread that message.

1272
01: 43: 33,600 --> 01: 43: 39,920
And for Maharishi's share,
then Beatles was the world renowned-

1273
01: 43: 40,080 --> 01: 43: 44,280
and thereby they could spread
his message.

1274
01: 43: 44,440 --> 01: 43: 49,640
Originally, it was the thought to stifle
a meditation center in London-

1275
01: 43: 49,800 --> 01: 43: 52,720
-that Beatles should take part in.

1276
01: 43: 52,880 --> 01: 43: 58,440
Patti had had some dreams about
Maharishi, who showed him in another light.

1277
01: 43: 58,600 --> 01: 44: 06,040
And I think too,
It had something to do with Mia Farrow.

1278
01: 44: 06,200 --> 01: 44: 11,720
But we were miles away from everything,
and it was another kind of life.

1279
01: 44: 11,880 --> 01: 44: 16,040
And here we were
and meditated six to seven hours in stretch-

1280
01: 44: 16,200 --> 01: 44: 18,520
Maybe several days in a row.

1281
01: 44: 18,680 --> 01: 44: 24,200
And it was so different from that,
everyone was used to. Especially Beatles.

1282
01: 44: 24,360 --> 01: 44: 27,760
In one way, Maharishi got
quite bad press coverage.

1283
01: 44: 27,920 --> 01: 44: 33,440
He was pretty harmless.
He looked funny.

1284
01: 44: 33,600 --> 01: 44: 40,120
You would not be able to say that today.
They ridiculed him.

1285
01: 44: 40,320 --> 01: 44: 47,160
But he just said ordinary things
like 'love each other' and that kind of thing.

1286
01: 44: 47,320 --> 01: 44: 51,840
It was an extension
of the hippie philosophy.

1287
01: 44: 51,960 --> 01: 44: 55,880
Poor Maharishi was told that
that his prize team would travel.

1288
01: 44: 56,040 --> 01: 45: 01,360
He sat and saw us walking by while one
Man held an umbrella over his head.

1289
01: 45: 01,520 --> 01: 45: 05,360
He asked several times,
why we traveled He did not know it.

1290
01: 45: 05,520 --> 01: 45: 10,080
There is a quote from John ...
I do not remember, but John replied:

1291
01: 45: 10,240 --> 01: 45: 15,520
"If you were so cosmic,
should you know that? "And that was it.

1292
01: 45: 18,520 --> 01: 45: 22,840
Closing the Apple Store
July 1968

1293
01: 45: 23,000 --> 01: 45: 26,640
Beatles' adventures as shop owners
is over.

1294
01: 45: 26,800 --> 01: 45: 29,560
They are tired of this toy.

1295
01: 45: 41,760 --> 01: 45: 47,640
I'm completely shaken.
I just pushed the doors.

1296
01: 45: 47,800 --> 01: 45: 53,600
-Shared because of the ballad outside?
-I have never experienced anything like that.

1297
01: 45: 53,760 --> 01: 45: 59,320
-What kind of clothes are you looking for?
-Anything. Something hips.

1298
01: 45: 59,480 --> 01: 46: 02,800
Why have you come here?
Because it's free.

1299
01: 46: 02,960 --> 01: 46: 06,480
-Would you come otherwise?
-No, it's too expensive for me.

1300
01: 46: 06,640 --> 01: 46: 10,440
Have you found anything exciting?
-I like couture.

1301
01: 46: 10,600 --> 01: 46: 15,000
-A gown or pair of pants.
- Would you also pay for it?

1302
01: 46: 15,160 --> 01: 46: 20,440
I have bought several things before.
I like the store.

1303
01: 46: 20,600 --> 01: 46: 22,640
You have to ask yourself-

1304
01: 46: 22,800 --> 01: 46: 29,120
how long the relationship between the band
and the manager could continue.

1305
01: 46: 29,280 --> 01: 46: 32,480
And then Yoko Ono comes into the picture.

1306
01: 46: 32,640 --> 01: 46: 38,480
She is still gaining influence
on john

1307
01: 46: 38,640 --> 01: 46: 44,200
Then you begin to consider Beatles as
a business, then Alan Klein will come ...

1308
01: 46: 44,360 --> 01: 46: 50,800
And then everything changes
for this excellent pop group.

1309
01: 47: 02,200 --> 01: 47: 08,160
For me to see it is
the perfect album.

1310
01: 47: 08,280 --> 01: 47: 15,440
Because that meant so much,
and it still lasts after all those years.

1311
01: 47: 15,600 --> 01: 47: 21,480
It is the world's best rock album.

1312
01: 47: 21,640 --> 01: 47: 27,360
There are no bad Beatles albums.
They are all phenomenal.

1313
01: 47: 27,480 --> 01: 47: 34,360
But that's my favorite album,
because I joined from start to finish.

1314
01: 47: 34,520 --> 01: 47: 41,000
And its cover was revolutionary.
It's my favorite plate.

1315
01: 47: 41,160 --> 01: 47: 46,400
It was huge because they could
publish it on the order of magnitude

1316
01: 47: 46,560 --> 01: 47: 50,960
and they all had in their hollow hand.
Everybody was busy.

1317
01: 47: 51,120 --> 01: 47: 56,440
There was no criticism. Everyone thought,
The cover and the songs were brilliant.

1318
01: 47: 56,600 --> 01: 47: 59,840
To me it was a masterpiece.

1319
01: 48: 00,000 --> 01: 48: 05,080
It was a pop symphony
with a wonderful continuity.

1320
01: 48: 05,240 --> 01: 48: 09,880
The main theme ... the title number was first,
and it was also second to none.

1321
01: 48: 10,040 --> 01: 48: 13,960
It all slipped smoothly
in something else. It was a pleasure.

1322
01: 48: 14,120 --> 01: 48: 17,000
There is something for all moods.

1323
01: 48: 17,160 --> 01: 48: 20,640
Posterity mean
that it's the best album ever.

1324
01: 48: 20,800 --> 01: 48: 25,600
It is fantastic. Who else do we have,
there have been 50 years-

1325
01: 48: 25,760 --> 01: 48: 29,640
and where generations are still listening
to the music?

1326
01: 48: 29,800 --> 01: 48: 34,760
Listen to them in mono.
Forget the stereo.

1327
01: 48: 34,920 --> 01: 48: 39,840
Beatles were not there when it was mixed.
They were in India.

1328
01: 48: 40,000 --> 01: 48: 45,920
They sat together and made decisions
based on the mono version.

1329
01: 48: 46,080 --> 01: 48: 49,720
That's my main message
around "Sgt. Pepper".

1330
01: 48: 49,920 --> 01: 48: 56,000
You know that when you get an album,
then there is one ... So for years back.

1331
01: 48: 56,160 --> 01: 49: 02,160
There is one, maybe three numbers on,
as you like.

1332
01: 49: 02,320 --> 01: 49: 06,640
The rest was there only,
and they ran over.

1333
01: 49: 08,080 --> 01: 49: 11,160
It was that time,
You did it manually.

1334
01: 49: 11,320 --> 01: 49: 13,840
But Beatles was the other way around.

1335
01: 49: 14,000 --> 01: 49: 17,560
There was no more than one number,
you did not get lost.

1336
01: 49: 17,760 --> 01: 49: 22,480
They grabbed the moment.
It was perfect.

1337
01: 49: 22,640 --> 01: 49: 28,640
And they all pulled everyone else
as a locomotive. They pulled forrest.

1338
01: 49: 28,800 --> 01: 49: 35,280
If they had added "Penny Lane" and
"Strawberry Fields" on "Sgt. Pepper" -

1339
01: 49: 35,440 --> 01: 49: 40,080
-ville it has been the best album
ever.

1340
01: 49: 40,240 --> 01: 49: 44,720
I contradict myself. Sometimes
I can not understand that it happened.

1341
01: 49: 44,880 --> 01: 49: 51,360
But I only knew,
that the music would last forever.

1342
01: 49: 51,520 --> 01: 49: 55,760
There is a window in
in a wonderful, changeable time.

1343
01: 49: 55,920 --> 01: 49: 59,600
If you study Beatles,
do you study the 1960s-

1344
01: 49: 59,760 --> 01: 50: 04,240
and the history of the West to some degree.
How time changed.

1345
01: 50: 04,400 --> 01: 50: 09,840
It's timeless. People are still reading
Shakespeare many years after.

1346
01: 50: 10,000 --> 01: 50: 15,680
There has always been
something life-provoking about the Beatles.

1347
01: 50: 15,840 --> 01: 50: 19,640
If you are down,
Then put a Beatles plate on.

1348
01: 50: 19,800 --> 01: 50: 25,280
Then you see the world in a new light.
They have almost a healing effect.

1349
01: 50: 25,440 --> 01: 50: 30,800
Four guys ... It just worked,
and they had the talent.

1350
01: 50: 32,040 --> 01: 50: 37,280
I do not think that ever will come
a new Beatles group.

1351
01: 50: 37,440 --> 01: 50: 42,680
It goes back to Liverpool Echo, where
There was an article with Brian Epstein.

1352
01: 50: 42,840 --> 01: 50: 46,760
He said, "I think,
Beatles get bigger than Elvis. "

1353
01: 50: 46,920 --> 01: 50: 53,080
Everybody laughed. "How can a little
Liverpool band from The Cavern stage-

1354
01: 50: 53,240 --> 01: 50: 56,840
"stay bigger than Elvis?"

1355
01: 50: 57,000 --> 01: 51: 01,880
Elvis was in America
and the world's biggest star.

1356
01: 51: 02,040 --> 01: 51: 06,040
But he was right.
The world's biggest band.

1357
01: 51: 06,240 --> 01: 51: 08,640
He saw something we did not see.

1358
01: 51: 08,800 --> 01: 51: 13,080
I think both Beatles and other bands
from Liverpool was embarrasing that statement.

1359
01: 51: 13,240 --> 01: 51: 17,880
Frankly, bigger than Elvis?
But Brian was right.

1360
01: 51: 18,040 --> 01: 51: 23,960
Even today, there is a charisma
and excitement about the name Beatles.

1361
01: 51: 24,120 --> 01: 51: 27,880
Not only in Liverpool.
It is no matter where you are.

1362
01: 51: 28,040 --> 01: 51: 32,280
Mexico, South America, Japan, Germany,
all locations.

1363
01: 51: 32,440 --> 01: 51: 38,240
If you mention Beatles on a small island
in Samoa, people will be wild.

1364
01: 51: 38,400 --> 01: 51: 41,800
It is the legacy they have left.

1365
01: 51: 41,960 --> 01: 51: 45,960
And the gods must know,
if anyone ever hit them.

1366
01: 51: 46,120 --> 01: 51: 48,160
It's something of a legacy.

1367
01: 51: 48,320 --> 01: 51: 53,120
It is wonderful
to have been a small part of it.

1368
01: 52: 02,960 --> 01: 52: 05,560
583 days after "Sgt. Pepper" -

1369
01: 52: 05,760 --> 01: 52: 09,640
-the Beatles released a double album
with 30 new songs in a completely white cover.

1370
01: 52: 09,800 --> 01: 52: 15,400
It smoked like number one
on the charts all over the world.

1371
01: 52: 19,988 --> 01: 52: 24,088


1372
01: 53: 40,911 --> 01: 53: 44,085


1373
01: 53: 44,840 --> 01: 53: 48,240
