POP GEAR (1965) - [1of8]

[kpenn0910]

The film of the Beatles is from 1963. Too bad they could not have gotten a "current" item for the film.

[fab60s4ever]

Sir Jimmy you are a legend !! thanx for some GREAT mems !!!! R.I.P.mate

[nfrable]

He would've turned 85 on Halloween.

RIP Jimmy Savile

[LandondeeL]

RIP Sir Jimmy Saville, you will be missed.

[yenbyee]

the girls are wilddd

[noahf67]

That opening Beatles performance is phenomenal. They will go down in history if nothing else as the tightest live 4 pc band ever.

[sfjohn5]

i have never herd most of these songs =)

[NP4Mayans]

Great color!! Or should I spell it Colour? 

[MsSardonicus]

I saw this movie on TV a few years ago when I'd just arrived back home & was totally jet-lagged - wow!

[ftsjr]

This movie is a wonderful time capsule of a wonderful era in pop music. In the US, this DVD is available as "Go Go Mania." Unfortunately, it isn't in widescreen format. The girl at 1:36 is the same one that appears at the end of the "Mary's Prayer" video, by Danny Wilson.

[Imachowderhead]

When music was........REAL!

[Virpatrick]

Great post my friend ♪

Peace

[dlamere2]

All those bands had covered or bought a Lennon/Mcartney song

[ZBone12]

ID BE CRYING TO! :(

GO BEATLES!

[CanadaguyRudey]

think how lucky all those men in their 60's are today

just saying .... its how I sees it

[guitarwizard85]

If I could go anywhere in time, I would go back to the 1960's just to see those guys in their prime.

[Nokorola]

I know that it's not, but the guy in the tan/brown jacket at 1:54 really reminds me of Roger Daltrey.

[ppk62fla]

remember 1964 very well miss the am stations playing the hits back then loved when during nighttime hours could listen to stations hundreds of miles away the beatles were the most amazing band ever and lennon/mc cartney as songwriters are the greatest thanks for all the music from very talented artists from the uk

[martybearass]

does anybody have this on dvd in hd as this clip???



[sebask2]

eran conatantes o robots ??

[cardwell]

Fantastic! Thanks for these clips :)

[magician226]

the fans of the beatles came to scream ^^

[kickassfan]

u ROCK thanxs so sharing this,ur vids are the best ever!!!!!!

[PeterWTaylor]

Theres many a fine tune played on an old fiddle.

Fabulously clear video - Thanks Peter T

[CrankCase08]

I'd like to know how they got that guitar sound on Little Children.

[GSP21]

@CrankCase08 Look up Mick Green-He was with the Pirates lots off vids on here!!!

One of the all time great guitar players who sadly died this year

[RodCow]

@CrankCase08 If you mean the intro/outro guitar part on 'Little Children' t then they achieved that with a piano and guitar playing in unison (a favourite trick of 60's record producers but in particular George Martin).

[overandout58]

laughable now... but this was cutting edge....

[dandamagetoo]

Igor was a hippie freak before he got the hunch back

[randyrhoads4737]

the female singer is hot.

[bazzguy1]

i keep comin back to your site time and time again,ty :-)

[northstar1950]

Looking at that aspect ratio, were these made for cinema release?

[CrankCase08]

Did Billy J Kramer use Brylcreem or Tru-gel?

[JeBeNL]

Merseysound ...so beautiful !!!

[MattHatter]

I love this movie! Why oh why oh why hasn't a company like Rhino re-released this classic on DVD?! I have a bootleg DVD copy and everyone I've ever shown this film to has absolutely loved it.

[carlos1424]

@MattHatter i think there is a websitewhere you can buy it from

[staff50ord]

They're horrible by today's standards, but I remember my teeny bopper days during this era well.

[grypnhmr]

Way back then I remember there were 2 different movies that were purely performances of one British group after another. I've always wanted to view those again, but I've never remembered the names of the movies. I don't know if this is one of them, but it is certainly similar. If I watch enough of these clips I might discover it is one of them! Thanks, a lot, nyrainbow2!

[queensrgt1986]

The Beatles in a different class,

[whatever30345]

It would have been a great time for a guy who even remotely looked like one of the Beatles to get into the panties of one of those young women in the audience. (Of course now all of those young women, in their later teens, not the 11 year olds, would be say in their 60's). Why was I born as late as 1963?

[grypnhmr]

I have to say, any boy that wore a Beatle haircut was considered the cutest thing to me back then. That was all that was needed to get my attention.

[itsabomberscope]

8:04 drummer playing mans head lol

[rjinterr]

talk about drama what is wrong with these girls?

[Wehategod]

The Four Pennies nice Three Part Haramonies. What ever happend to them??

[grypnhmr]

I wonder if there is a book like "What Ever Happened To..." that covers all the early British Invasion groups. I'd love to know what happened to all of them.

[MsJeepers]

1964- a great year for eleven year olds....sigh.

[problem49]

Is Jimmy Saville a Morlock?

[kurskss]

Susan is a cutie!! :)

[HueyRocks23]

At 1:09 is a view from the EYE OF THE HURRICANE

[789959]

I dunno, kev, at the time (I was there) the Beatles were Gods. Look at the audience. I doubt you could say to any of them "This band is over-rated," and get outa there in one piece...

[knoxoilngas]

The saddest part of the Beatles live performance is reminding oneself that all the cute girls in the audience are in their mid- to late 60s now.

[hauntboy]

Very true. I was just a 6 yr old and my sister 16. Now she's in her 60s and me in my 50s. I recall going to the cinema in '64 to see A Hard Day's Night. The atmosphere was much like this - screaming all around. Great memories!!!!

[tokyoisfun]

...and in their hearts, they are still 11 years old, having the best time of their life. Imagine...

[komala94]

It is sad...but you know what, they knew how to rock:)x

[Snicki1946]

So true. I'm 63. My best friend and I skipped an afternoon at business college and watched this movie four times in a row at the theater next door.

[01geTnM]

@knoxoilngas Mature hotties. That's not sad.

[panhead55]

@knoxoilngas yet, still cuter than the ones of today...

[dlamere2]

@knoxoilngas

u git that right



[spunkiedied]

@knoxoilngas ---NO , the saddest part is we old fucks got to live it and you can stick it up your rapper ass.

[knoxoilngas]

@spunkiedied What was it about my post that made you think I'm a rapper? I was just feeling wistful about all the cute girls I knew back then who are probably grandmas now.

[spunkiedied]

@spunkiedied  apologizes for the comment , thought you were making fun of us old Grandmas and Grandpas .

[kevthegerbil1958]

the Beatles were overrated did not sound good live ???

[slackersnail]

Bull. The Beatles are without a doubt greatest band to ever play Rock n' Roll. They're not over-rated. Everyone loves them because they were so damn good.

[f01863]

I agree the beatles are incomparable,but there is some really good music here besides them,plus susie maughan is a doll.

[tonyrob45]

nyrainbow2 good video's suprised the Hollies not on 1-8 She Loves You the Beatles harmony not good. The Hollies and Graham Nash were super at harmony better than fab 4 but Lennon and McCartney good song writters

[Revolver8566]

well the beatles held it down pretty decent for being drowned out by the screaming crowds.

[madessexdrummer]

i seem to remember bjk had more than one hit

[slackersnail]

They shouldn't have put The Beatles first. Everyone else sucks compared to them.

They're the only ones who weren't one hit wonders.

[Revolver8566]

ur right. wonder how many people stopped watching after they went off

[Wehategod]

The Beatles are Responisble for the British Invasion. My Favorite Group would have to been the YardBirds.

[BROTHER00004]

Great !

[JakeANowhereMan]

WOW SO CLEAR!

[RollinsCollegeDad]

WOW! Beatlemania at it's best!

[hayef]

un grand merciiiiiii

[amyvonfink]

My god

I saw this when i was a kid on amc and since then haven't heard about it in forever, i forgot the name of it and couldnt figure out what it was called.

And here it is! Pop Gear! Thank so much for posting this, it brings back memories :)

[PsychedelicGuy]

I saw this on AMC too! when i was like 10, this pretty much got me into 60's music!!

[flibideegibbit]

i taped this off AMC about 15 yrs ago, the whole show, no commercials, back when AMC meant something. thx for posting.

[thePharoah90086]

... and THIS is why Susan Maughan was My "Dream Girl" , when I was 10 Years Old.

[thePharoah90086]

I was hoping to see the Original Opening + Closing Credits , to see how They differed from the American Prints of This Film (released in the U.S. as "Go-Go Mania")

[plyg]

Myrainbow2 great job!!!

[tawn]

thank you so so much for putting this up! :)

[nyrainbow2]
