@@yuuya2111 Wrong use of words... he was never overshadowed in talent, creativity or as a musician. Any artiste will tell you that. He was a far greater guitarist at 17 years old than John or Paul (ever became) and his triple album All Things Must Pass, released 1971, is still selling by the bucket full 50 years later - more copies than any solo album by John or Paul. He saved the British film industry financing the first Monty Pythons film and Mona Lisa with Handmade Films. He invented Live Aid 10 years before Geldof (Concert for Bangladesh) and he formed his own super group, The Travelling Wilburys recording 7 songs in 7 days with Bob Dylan. In Bob's kitchen. George was a genius. Eric Clapton, the greatest guitarist of his generation looked up to... George Harrison. Unfortunately George was put on the back of the bus by George Martin, producer, who was flogging Lennon and McCartney as songwriters, so he could record and sell their compositions to other artistes. It was a money machine. In his own words... (paraphrased) "John and Paul were bankers and my job was to produce hit pop records for the record label. George was a challenge and I deeply regret sidelining him now. " The fact is, rebels and those who 'challenge' the norm, they shape the world. Like Eric Clapton insisting on setting up his own Les Paul and Marshall amp during the recording of the Beano album with the Bluesbreakers - it still influences rock music today. George Martin was a fool and a sell out.

I think he got the quiet rep on that first trip to the US. But the guy got off the plane with a temp of 104 and strep throat. He was as sick as a dog. When they got to the hotel after the airport press conference they called for the hotel doctor. He was really sick but his sister stayed with him and made sure he got his meds on time, slept, kept quiet, etc. But that seems to be you’re of the rep. Plus of course he was in the midst of the two greatest composers of all time.

George's "Quiet Beatle" was more like a gimmick forced on him earlier in his Beatles days and people took it too seriously. He was talkative, funny and very endearing, like in that interview he did with Ringo, that's the true George! His mates loved him for his humor and sweetness. He was bullied by John and Paul regarding songwriting so sometimes he had this bitter attitude towards Beatles days, and people thought he was glum and quiet...

Correct. He was unable to use the Beatles as his platform to fully express himself. He was in a tortured situation. He had an insatiable desire to get his music out, but only the best of the best was able to make it onto a Beatles album. But at the same time, he got to be a Beatle for a totally different reason - he was an amazing guitarist and backup vocalist. It's a shame George found himself in this situation because he didn't know how to handle it. He could have been like Ringo and just enjoyed the ride. But he didn't because he ultimately couldn't.

You had to feel sorry for the support act on that tour. The group was Sounds Incorporated and of course everybody, wanted them off the stage so they could hear the Fab Four. I live in Perth and they didn't perform here. I did get to watch the entire Melbourne concert on TV. Like every Beatle fan, I was absolutely frustrated with Sounds Incorporated to the point of shouting at TV "Get off the stage!" I saw Sounds Incorporated in 1971 at Perth night club and, at that time, it was the best live performance I had ever heard.

In late May 1964, just before the arrival of the Fab Four, 4 Beatles songs were in the top 5. The odd song was World Without Love by Peter & Gordon written by Lennon & McCartney.

My favourite, and most accurate, character assessment of Paul is by John Lennon's best friend Pete Shotton. Pete was a member of The Quarrymen up to the time John fired him buy breaking Pete's washboard over his had. The Quarry men was a skiffle group and a washboard was an essential instrument for any skiffle group. Anyway, Pete said about Paul - "Paul plays his cards very close to his chest but occasionally will overwhelm you with genuine warmth and generosity.

I first saw this interview on the classic Australian music program Rage. They played an all night Beatles special as a tribute to George Harrison when he passed away in 2001. They also played film of their Melbourne concert at the Festival Hall on 17 June 1964, when Ringo, who had missed the bulk of the Australian tour being hospitalised for tonsillitis, eventually rejoined the band. This concert can be found on KZread and is quite good quality. The reporters in this interview were asking quite thoughtful and interesting questions for the time. It is interesting to note that on that tour, my home town of Adelaide gave the Beatles the biggest reception that they ever received in their entire touring career. An estimated 300,000 people lined the streets between the airport and their hotel in the centre of the city. The Beatles really were a revolutionary force for change in Australian society and we loved them ❤❤❤

@@huss2600 Great question mate. Well in the early 1960s Australia may have well still have been stuck in the pre WWII era. Australia was seen as backwater place by the rest of the world. The youth of this country had no voice, no representation, no identity. Famous Hollywood movie stars and popular recording artists of the time never toured here. The Beatles came along at exactly the right time. Australia was economically in a good place, people had more disposable income to spend on records. Baby Boomers were becoming teenagers and they wanted idols of their own and of the 60s. What really helped The Beatles attract a massive audience in Australia (besides the wonderful music) was the fact that they were British. Australia at that time still regarded itself as part of the British Empire, so a group from Liverpool that was taking England by storm in 1963 received a lot of press coverage, as much òf what was culturally significant originated from the 'mother country'. Also, the mass media was really in its embryonic stages. Singles and albums released in England would take a couple of months to get to Australia, yet that seemed like it was quick. Even the Pathé films shown in cinemas were weeks old by the time they arrived here. By accepting the invitation to play gigs in Oz, the Beatles gave validity to the nation's youth. The fame of the Beatles resulted in scenes reminiscent of WWII victory celebrations upon their arrival. Except this time it was mostly kids celebrating in the streets. In Adelaide 300,000 people lined the streets around the Town Hall where the Beatles made an appearance. That was like one third of the population at the time. This was pre A Hard Day's Night as it hadn't come out yet. The youth of the nation had their new cultural icons and it was a similar story across the world. People copied their hair, the way they dressed, the drugs they took, and were obsessed by their music. They also started playing their own music in their own style but borrowing heavily from the Beatles. The world's youth really discovered that they were a powerful socio economic entity in their own right, and the world was never the same. The Beatles ushered in a new era where the young were not shackled to the stuffy traditions of the past

Ringo is always throwing out zingers or telling a story and he was a big part of the Beatle humor. He also helps the others to be funny by making quiet comments to them when the mic is pointed somewhere else It's easy to see why the other Beatles wanted him as he "was a Beatle" vs just being a decent drummer.

paul is very good looking man

The Beatles was simply the GOAT

No queen is way better (I’m joking, just mocking the queen fan that only got into queen because of the movie)

First saw them on Ed Sullivan show,think 63? While listening and watching any and all Beatle interviews or shows i catch myself smiling! Love and loved the Beatles Forever!!!!

What’s interesting is nobody’s ego got the better, they all seem very comfortable with each other.

"Did you know that I was a Beatle for two weeks?"..."Yeah right Gramps"

The contract talk was interesting, they hadn't a clue what they had signed into

They were charging their expenses through "Beatles Inc", but they had no idea what that meant. They weren't yet completely tied together so perhaps one could have left more easily at that time, but later Brian incorporated them for tax reasons, b/c they would be taxed at a lower rate as a corporation than as individuals, and this was the reason Paul had to sue the others to leave. So it was the opposite of what we see here. They thought you would sue who left, when in fact the person leaving would have to sue to extricate himself. It's an ironic exchange in retrospect.

@@Kieop please keep in mind, that wasn't Paul. The imposter, " William" or "Billy" had to sue to get out because he wanted his father in law to manage the group while the three real Beatles wanted Allen Klein to manage them. Besides, everyone resented the new guy.

Excellent interview. One of their best!

What a fantastic clip. They were so natural and so funny. John Lennon and George especially seemed to be able to bounce off one another. Poor Jimmy Nicol seems to be very quiet and self effacing. It must have been a hard gig for him.

Poor Jimmy what a spot to be put in

He was very lucky to be in that position.

@8:50+ where George and John are almost having a quiet conversation between themselves in regards to record sales and indeed thinking where is all that money actually going and they themselves were not as rich as they thought they would/should be. It seems like the first rumblings of what was to be a major reason for their eventual split, amongst other things of course. I wonder if George had already pondered penning a song like 'Taxman' at this stage of the game.

13:18 harrison states "if I wanted to leave they wouldn't sue me" McCartneys reaction is priceless

Yeah, and it was Paul who sued to get out.

Thank you for sharing an incredible interview Great moments in music history and everyone' s life. Up close and personal interview showed camaraderie plus another great musician substitution for Ringo.

george is so gorgeous oh my 😳

Love this: "There is a contract between the four of us, but if I wanted to leave then they wouldn't try and stop me; they wouldn't sue me, I don't think, would you fellas?"

This video is placed in the _Science & Technology_ category... hmm, that's interesting. Anyway, I enjoyed it and I love this band!

This is great. Thanks!

This was a fascinating interview...I don't think it has been widely seen...but it sorely needs a good deal of technical work to get it up to scratch. The Quiet Beatle? George always thought that was funny. The nickname probably comes from the early concerts where the talking with the audience was done by Paul (mostly) and John (sometimes).

The Beatles handled themselves well amidst the intrusive questions regarding $$.

not ringo ... he had tonsilitits

Do you have an acknowledged leader. John, no not really "Stands to attention".

Jimmy se veía tan sencillo...que afortunado haber vivido in sitú la beatlemania...haber probado la miel en hojuelas de lo que fue algo que nunca más se verá en una banda de música....

That's Jimmy Nichol subbing for Ringo, who was sick at the time and had to substitute for him for a short time.

I think the cameraman is in love with George, or maybe just I am...
