Bro, don’t worry about people that are a bit harsh in their comments. I understand you don’t really know The Beatles so you don’t understand, but these 4 guys were so popular that they even stopped touring because they couldn’t even hear themselves play because of the screaming women and teenagers. And their catalogue is huge and includes a vast range of music. Their music dominated the 60s and it really just made people happy. Most of their stuff was just super catchy and upbeat and would put you in a good mood. I’m 63 so I wasn’t very old when they broke up, but there’s never been anything like them since. And young people discover them and love them. They were just that good.

The Beatles were not JUST a band, they were THE BAND that started it all. Every rock, blues, hip hop, rap, song you hear today are all because of The Beatles. This was in 1968-69. This was the last time they ever performed live. And they did it on the rooftop of the studio where they did their last album. Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings director) did a phenomenal documentary about The Beatles on HBO/MAX.

Comparing anyone to Beatles will pale into comparison. But, if this chap really is hearing Beatles for first time and he has heard Bee Gees, it's a reasonable starting point for him. Bee Gees were massively successful in their own right from young age from mid 1960s when they came to UK from Australia. They were also very successful songwriters for other people in many styles. some people knocked them because they had a second success era with disco. That's a pity as the incel disco-haters just revealed themselves to be nasty little racists who hated other people having fun and sex. There's plenty of place for Volkswagen cars from Beetle through Golf GTI, Buzz, etc. In that period, Rolls Royce was dull status symbol for board members of a bank. We had some very wealthy neighbours in about 1968 to 1975 who had a Rolls Royce and Jensen Interceptor. They called the RR 'The bus'. RR cars were definitely innovative like both Beatles and Bee Gees were.

The most famous and well respected music act of all time, this guy must live under a rock

African American keyboard player Billy Preston (sitting at the keyboard in front of the two London cops) first met the Beatles in Hamburg in 1962, Germany, when the Beatles were an unknown club band and Preston was a 16-year-old prodigy organist playing on a European tour with Little Richard's band. In January 1969, the Beatles were on the verge of breaking up over artistic differences on their latest album. Guitarist George Harrison brought in Billy for a quick visit with the band and the effect was magic: the Beatles buried their differences while their guest was there and asked Billy to join them for this rooftop concert. The Beatles stayed together long enough to complete two more albums.

@@theappreciationsociety1960 I have long loved the Bee Gees, their fantastic songs and lush production values. From what I understand there were hard feelings in GB when Nash left the Hollies for Laurel Canyon and the California music scene, well deserved given his talent and the impact the Hollies had. That said, he needed more agency and creative freedom, and with CSN he helped create a new musical genre and the model of the self produced, counter culture artist. The often unsung genius of CSN's harmonies was David Crosby, who knit together their sound with indispensable but hard to tease out vocal parts. Helplessly Hoping is a great example of this, a unified and gorgeous sound that is difficult to sing...though the melody sounds clear, picking out a solo line to sing through it is difficult. What exactly is the lead, and what is David singing? He was key in crafting the harmonies on the Grateful Dead's two mostly acoustic albums, Workingman's Dead, and American Beauty, and then Jerry Garcia turned around to add the singular pedal steel guitar work on Nash's Teach Your Children with CSN. So much great music in those days, Good Thoughts, Peace and Blessings right back;)

The beatles are generally known as the world's greatest band ever. This video was recorded on January 30, 1969 where they performed their final public concert. The police were dressed in their uniforms of the time and were there to stop the concert due to nothing moving around their building. I don't say this to criticize you.. just offering a bit of advise. Research the video's you review to obtain some basic information on what you're watching. You'll have a better understanding overall.

January 1969. The Beatles had stopped performing live in 1966 due to the complications of massive crowds and media attention, and only released studio albums after that. This was on the rooftop of the building in London of their company - Apple Corps, as a sort of goodbye to the public since they were in the process of splitting up. Police were called due to complaints about noise, but they didn’t do much, and just watched. There is a film called “Let it Be “ about the event. However the 3-part series about the Beatles on Disney, by Peter Jackson (director of Lord of the Rings) called “Get Back” has even better and lots more footage about this event in part 3 of the series. The Beatles started the trend of wearing their hair however they liked, wearing whatever clothing they liked, which today is taken for granted.

And crowds in the street below were a serious safety hazard. I know the area well and lived there for 15 months 10 years after this concert. Narrow streets clogged by people or road works... ambulances and fire engines can't get through and the whole area comes to a log jam halt. At least one of the policemen is still alive, they were both pretty young at the time and, of course, unarmed

This was a regular workday in London. The Beatle went out onto the roof of their office/studio building and started playing. If you watch the movie, there's all kinds of chaos going on out in the streets - traffic stopped, people climbing fire escapes to get up there - thus, the cops arrive to get them to stop playing. I've been listening to the Beatles since the 60s - it's so much fun to see you discover them for the 1st time. Modern music owes tribute to The Beatles, and many other bands that paves their way. . . enjoy!

Here's an important note. Some of these rooftop songs made it onto the record. At this point in time, they didn't have huge multi track tape decks, to allow engineers to remove or add instruments later. The band had to perform the whole song perfectly to make it onto an album.

The Beatles were the biggest selling band of all time. Bar none. This was late 60s and their final concert. They have many MANY songs starting in 1963.

It is literally the other way around: you would be disrespecting The Beatles by comparing them to The Bee Gees. The Beatles owned the 60s in #1 hits and record sales. While they were always into rock-n-roll band, they started off in the early 60s playing mostly pop music, but turned everything on its head in 1966 when they quit touring and focused their creative efforts in the recording studio. They were untouchable at that point. They officially disbanded in late 1969, but they are still regarded as the GOATS by many muscians.

Not quite. They recorded pop music from 1963 onwards. But as teenage boys they were a trash skiffle then rock and roll group. Then they went (George Harrison underage) to play 8 and 12-hour sets in the reddest red light area of post WW2 port town gangster Hamburg. Far tougher than any punks at CBGBs in 1970s. They lightened up to get radio play and acceptance and a recording contract. We tend to look down on pop now but, back then, there was just classical, jazz, folk, and pop. Rock and roll was a sub-genre of pop. Beatles were largely responsible for turning pop into an art form in its own right and for subsequent development of many sub-genres including rock, prog, etc.

For an immediate head explosion check “Oh Darling”, then “Come Together”, “I Want You (She’s So Heavy”, and “Dear Prudence”.

The Beatles are the best selling group of all time with three gimes tbe sales of the Bee Gees. they sold 600 million albums and 1.6 billion singles. The guy in black is Paul McCartney, the highest selling songwriter of all time. He plays bass. This was 1969. The Beatles were not hippies, they were their own thing.

I really appreciate your reactions - it's fun to hear people discover music. These guys sort of broke music at the time. They were bigger than Elvis Presley and MUCH MUCH bigger than the BeeGee's for their time. They were so ahead of their time that almost all other music came from them. They first came to the U.S. in around 1964 and time traveled to 1969 (when this song was recorded). I'm glad you are checking them out! This is only 1% of the variety of song styles they have traveled. I think you might enjoy doing a deeper dive!

You need to do some research, but as a 75 yr old male who lived thru the Beath'es time, they have gone down in history as the greatest rock band of all time. If you doubt that, which is totally understandable, begin by checking the views on their songs. They hve had the biggest influence on all rock music following their legacy. By the way, they did this rock concert on a London roof, and the police, funny hats, finally made them stop.

This song was performed on a roof in 1970 in London. That’s how cops dressed back then in England. The cops were called Bobbie’s (I think that’s how it’s spelled). Anyway, All I can say is that you are so young (that’s not a bad thing) that there’s no way you could possibly realize and understand what The Beatles meant to music, to rock music. They had so many #1 Albums and #1 singles off each album. Paul McCartney is the bass player, John Lennon is singing and playing rhythm guitar, George Harrison is the lead guitar and Ringo Starr is the drummer. These 4 men began either very late 50’s or very early 60’s. Their early music was sweet songs, but still great songs, and they wore suits and had longish hair for the times. The girls went crazy for them everywhere. The biggest thing about The Beatles became the songwriting duo of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. They wrote the best songs. Most of their songs were #1 hits. George Harrison was also a great songwriter, but he was told to write one or maybe two songs for an album, Because it was the Lennon/McCartney songs that people wanted. But many of George Harrison’s songs were #1 songs also. All of them were just greatness. What I would recommend is that you pay attention to the year the song was written when you react to them. It’s important to know what stage The Beatles were in as far as their music was concerned. Early Beatles were sweet good songs and everyone loved them, especially the girls. Around 1965 their music started changing as they matured. Their music evolved constantly over the years. They went through a very psychedelic phase from using LSD and mushrooms. They made some really great music then. Around late 68-70, they had each become very unique musicians and song writers. All their stages of music are great, just know what year you’re reacting too so you can understand their music better. Actually, this 45 minute concert on the roof of their Apple studio was their last performance together Jan 30, 1970 before the group broke apart.

John Lennon was the lead vocal, while Paul McCartney played his Hofner bass which was stolen and recovered it after 50 years. Ringo Starr played the 1968 Ludwig Hollywood Maple and George Harrison played the 1964 Gibson guitar.

Probably the most famous concert in history, and only a handful of people attended. They didn't let them down.

In 1964, a film was made about the early days of The Beatles (and Beatlemania) which was before The Beatles became more radical musically and in their personal lives- it is a really fun film that showcases their sense of humor- “A Hard Day’s Night.”

Start with the early stuff and go chronologically so you can witness the most shocking growth and evolution of a band ever. In just a couple of years they went from being fresh-faced, smart-mouthed pop idols singing simple love songs to a mature, intelligent global cultural and political force creating the most ground-breaking and universally acclaimed music of the modern era.

@@thomastimlin1724 Excellent comment.

Very hard to explain The Beatles! No telling how far they could have gone with their innovative sound. All I know, I was heart broken when they broke up. And heart broken again! When John Lennon was murdered. No chance of a reunion. Sad world! But, their music changed lives good and bad.

The year was 1969 and the last live concert by the Beatles before they broke up. Without the Beatles and Elvis Presley there would not be Rock and Roll today as we know it.

Oh yeah, and just so you know the Bee Gees modeled their band, their sound, and their act on the Beatles. The bass player in the Bee Gees started out by learning every single bass guitar line that Paul McCartney ever played up til that point, and they went from there.

This is pure rock & roll.

My favorite Beatles song!!

The greatest band in rock and roll and pop history..They had nearly two hundred great songs. No band or solo artist came close to their output of beautiful songs..That was their last live appearance in 1970. They dressed quickly from their studio downstairs for cold weather..Bro they were the very best band ever but if one is not from that time maybe it is lost on people.

I never would have thought anyone would compare this to "Jaws."

As folks have said, this is January 1969, the Beatles' last public performance. Billy Preston as a guest, on keys. John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison played together for several years, since their mid-teens, eking out a living. In late 1962, their manager fired the previous drummer and brought in Ringo Starr. About that same time, Lennon and McCartney started in earnest writing original music for the band, where previously they were just covering '50s music. Their new sound was based on earlier forms of Rock, but was distinct in some ways. They first hit it big in Germany. Then in the U.K., where they were from. And in January 1964, they took over the charts in the U.S. The mania in 1964 and '65 over The Beatles and other British bands that copied their style cannot be overstated. It wasn't just a revolution in music, it led to a revolution in social norms. It'd take a book to describe all aspects of it. Of course, there are already many books about it. Paul and Ringo are still alive, still performing. As mentioned, Paul (based on the total of his work with various groups plus his solo stuff) holds several records as the most prolific music artist of all time.

The Beatles were in their own genre.

They are #1 in the world!

Played live. On a roof top. In cold weather!

The Policemen were sent up there to stop the concert as everyone came running out of there offices to see what was going on and it caused a massive traffic holdup.

The guy reacting is like a more intense, real life version of a character in the film yesterday lol

the Beatles performed a concert from the rooftop of their Apple Corps headquarters at 3 Savile Row, in central London's office . It was the final public performance of their career

This is the 1960s, think about it, 55 yrs ago to be exact. The Beatles hit it big around 6 yrs before this rooftop concert. Miles bigger than The Bee Gees, no disrespect to The Bee Gees. They weren't just a band, they were actually a movement, for LOVE, real love. Paul McCartney is the bassist. I was knocked off my feet by them, at the age of 6 yrs when I first heard them in the early '60s.

Beatles started pop, and sometimes blended with fold, blues and metal.. You must react to the Beatles EIGHT DAYS A WEEK and you will see the hysteria of beatlemania!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Screaming, fainting and trying to get to the stage. They ushered in a brand new sound in the early 60s. They changed music and popular culture forever and considered the greatest band of all time.

The 1964 film “A Hard Day’s Night” is the perfect representation of Beatlemania. It is fictional, but also a semi-documentary and shows what their early touring days were like. As they changed, their music also changed- it became more personal, political, more experimental, more multi-cultural and less “pop.” They influenced fashion, hairstyles and social trends, as well as musical styles.

It was 1969 Abbey Road Studios rooftop in London England. Cops were there to stop the show, they were creating a disturbance on the street below.

Yessir.. great reaction.. Keep digging..my boys have hundreds..lol I seen em on tv in 1964..!!!! Ed Sullivan show. !! P s. Song? 1969 or 1970...

The greatest band ever

I remember the first song of the Bee Gees which I heard on the radios in France at the beginning of 1967."New York Mining Disaster 1941" Very good !! Their sound was very reminiscent of the Beatles.

You're in love for the first time, and you know it's gonna last. It's a love that lasts forever. It's a love that has no past.

I'm 42 now, first heard them around 30. Their music just puts you in a good mood. Love listening to them in mornings to set the tone for the day. The Abbey Road album is life changing.

Widely considered the greatest rock band in all of time, surveys and polls bear this fact out! Record sales support it as well. This was a magical moment when an American keyboardist known as the 5th Beatle, Billy Preston (An icon in his own right), was playing with the band.Thanks for reacting.

You were close with the decade. By this point they were ushering in the 70s. They were coming out of their flower power/hippie period (which they had a big part in making mainstream). Also you said you thought you were "disrespecting" the BeeGees by comparing them to the Beatles, when it's completely the other way around. Everybody with very few exceptions at that time were influenced by and loved the Beatles. You were wondering about the genre. Pop music has been around since the early 20th century but became huge in the 50's. The genre that can be most broadly applied to the Beatles is "Pop Rock", though they drew influences from just about every genre that existed up to that point. Good job correctly guessing that it was Paul tearing it up on bass, as he tends to do.

The Beatles are the best selling artists in history. They've performed every genre you can think of in the days. For a total contrast, you could watch "I am the walrus", a toral psychodelic ride(the audio version, the video version is less polished). Another shock would be "Helter Skelter", pure heavy metal (before heavy metal even exist) And you could watch also their early stuff with the classic rock and roll sound, but with a racuos energy

It was really chilly and the guys wore their wives coats!

What's hurting you is where you're starting The Beatles journey. Start from the beginning, this song is towards the end of their career together and you'll understand. This the only band that you listen to them grow from album to album. The Beatles led and everyone else followed, they changed the way music was recorded and were the cultural onset of the 60's. The Beatles are the greatest musical act of all time and a gift to the world.

The interesting thing about your Beatles journey is you starting at the end of the band's life and their last public show. This was the breakup played out for everyone to see and hear.

guy on the left is Paul McCartney guy in the middle is John Lennon guy on the right is George Harrison drummer is Ringo Starr. keyboards billy Preston.

Cool reaction. By the way, the Beatles are the biggest selling music artist of all time and nobody else even comes close. Bigger than the Bee Gees, bigger than Elvis, bigger than Michael Jackson, or Beyoncé, bigger than Prince or Drake, or any other music artist who ever breathed air and walked the face of this Earth (do a quick google search and you'll see what I'm talking about). Yeah, you would need a whole new education in music to truly get the Beatles. It is possible though. I've seen other reactors start out sketchy like you and becoming total Beatle fans. I would recommend a deep dive into the Beatles. I would start with their first album "Please, Please, Me" and go right in order until their final released album, "Let it Be". No doubt, you would truly "get it" then. Just a suggestion. I subscribed! Peace

I would conclude with “Abbey Road”, since it was the last album recorded.

I'm amazed....😮

The spelling of The Beatles is “ea” like a drum beat, etc. whereas the bug is “ee” Beetle 🪲. This is their final live performance on the rooftop of Apple Corps headquarters (The record company, not the phone company.) at 3 Savile Row in London on January 30, 1969. The 42-minute impromptu concert is considered one of the most famous rooftop concerts in history. They split up right after. This was the Hippy era. You do know that the Beatles are the most famous and most successful band EVER, I hope. The Beatles were together for just 10 years from 1960 - 1970, yet out sold bands that have been together for 50 years.

No auto tune. No Computers. This is live. They are outside in the English cold.

PEACE,LOVE, DOPE..lol

The Beatles were the first British band to make it big in North America. They led the changes in music that inspired every band you ever heard of. All 4 could sing. They were Paul McCartney on bass (you called it), John Lennon who was the lead singer on this plays Rhythm and George Harrison (the quiet Beatle) played leac guitar. Ringo Starr (Richard Starkey) played drums. They broke up in the early 70s and Ringo Star and Paul McCartney are the only two alive. John Lennon was murdered in 1980 and George Harrison died of natural causes. Ringo still tours with musicians that time has now passed by. It is called Ringo Star's All Star Travelling Band. After they broke up an album was put out titled simply 1. It contained only their #1 hits. It contains 27 songs. No band in history can equal that.

This came out close to the tail end of the hippie era. It was early 1970, technically right after the 60's ended, but decades tend to end, culturally and musically, a couple of years into the next decade, and this was no exception. I was just a child back then but I remember distinctly the fashion, hair, slang, attitude, that were a lot more 60's than 70's. The changeover didn't really get underway till 1973 or so, with Disco, easy listening, singer-songwriters and punk taking over. But that was still a few years in the future when this concert took place, which was 60's to its core in vibe.

I was 10 and saw their first three appearances on the Ed Sullivan (variety) Show, starting on February 9th, 1964. An instant sensation, the kids (especially the girls) went nuts for them. The Beatles have a huge list of number one songs. Please check out one of their prettiest songs (they wrote their own), 'Here There and Everywhere", written and sung by Paul McCartney.

Paul,John, George and Ringo on the drums...the Beatles...

1969...this is the last time they ever performed together... it's on the top of the building where they had their office, Apple corp., London. the cops were pissed because clearly it was the Beatles, and because they were doing impromptu on the roof of a building in downtown London it was causing a huge ruckus and crowds in the street down below...lol

Hardly downtown London. The very heart of The West End. Very much uptown London. I know those streets extremely well and lived there just nine years after this show. Narrow streets with lots of business. It gets jammed very fast by traffic or other incidents which creates a big safety risk for ambulances and fire engines as well as impact on people getting to and from work. Great fun for a one-off event but could go on too long. The policemen were young, probably younger than The Beatles, asked politely, and were, of course, unarmed and did not stop the show immediately. I heard one interviewed on the radio just a few years ago so at least one may still be alive - might have been when Get Back, the Peter Jackson TV series, came out

you're reaction specifics and questions had me laughing for fun! Are the Beatles as good as the Bee Gees? hahahahahahahaha lol

Love the Beatles. Great reaction..❤

Please react the song Let It Be also by The Beatles, recorded on January 31 & April 30, 1969 on Abbey Road studios and on January 4, 1970, produced by George Martin, the ONLY single produced by him!

January 30, 1969. Their last live performance. You're right it was a hot hit. You've got a lot to look forward to. Sooo many hits. John Lennon wrote this song , he's the one in the fur coat and wearing glasses. I was just starting high school when this came out.

First heard the Beatles I was six 1964. Welcome to the Beatles rabbit hole

The guy in the grizzly bear coat is John Lennon. Never heard of him??

Start from the beginning. Love Me Do , then go from there.
