Beatles 1966 NYC Press Conference Multi-Camera

With all the Beatles footage that has been destroyed, its amazing that we have some things that not only survived, but survive with multiple camera angles! here is part of a 2 camera press conference. This footage was silent and chopped up, the audio had to be taken from multiple sources and then lip-read to synch it!

At 2:01 Paul makes up a children's book title on the spot: Sparky. "Sparky?" ask John with a grin. The Beatles had more charm and timing than all of today's rock groups combined. Thanks, walawala1873... you're first among thousands of Beatles video sources.

Thanks for this vid, it's great. Wow, can you imagine that one year after this press conference the Beatles would have recorded Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane made the promo films for them, changed their look completely, performed All You Need Is Love across the world live via satellite, recorded and released Sgt. Pepper's, and busted psychedelia wide open.

"Yellow submarine" was the slang term for amphetamine (speed) pills the Beatles were given when they performing for 8 hours a night in the clubs in Hamburg in the early 60's. They were yellow and shaped a bit like a submarine. But the song itself was not about speed, Paul just like the term as a title.

yeah you can tell the *fun* of the road was starting to fade in the 1966 interviews....But that's life things change then change again

They were quieter because of the experience. Knowing they were the best no matter what they did must have been a full plate for their self-esteem. You can see it from the drugs side too but, primordially, their confidence was bigger and they didn't need to be as they were in the beginning.

P.S.: Besides John, they all had the Sgt. Pepper's hairs already. :-)

Super interview this is the first time i have seen these parts... the parts missing here when a reporter asked do any of you record on your own? That clip is in colour. I recall George also talks about the genuine fans and hangers on.

You rock for posting this

[kissmusiclover]

Thank you for posting this so are there 3 sources to this conference - this two black and white sources and the colour version of cam angle 1??

Thank you for posting these interviews. You can tell they are getting tired of all these silly questions by this point. It sounds like the interviewer at 3:00 asks if they bring their bibles with them on tour. What kind of question is that?
