Beatlemania - extreme enthusiasm for the Beatles, as manifested in the frenzied behavior of their fans in the 1960s. This band changed the world in more ways than I can describe, they were the original prototype for what rock bands became. The bands metamorphosis was truly amazing, part of the reason John, Paul, George and Ringo are true legends.

Beatlemania was in every city they went to, regardless of Country. To live through it growing up in NY was really a privilege.

This footage was from a concert at Shea Stadium in NYC, (1965). Yes, this was a chart topper for sure! ☮️

Two of the greatest songwriters of the last 100 years. And George turned out to be a pretty great writer, too. It's all about the melodies. John and Paul were Kings! You hear a song of theirs a couple of times and you remember it forever. They have about 180 songs as good or better than what everyone else was doing at the time.

Paul was being driven out to Johns for a songwriting session. After an uneventful trip Paul, in a bit of small talk, asked the driver if he had been busy. The driver said to Paul, 'Aye, I've been working 8 days a week'. When Paul arrived John asked him if he had a song to work on. Paul said "No, but I know the title, 'Eight Days A Week'. 3 hours later the song was finished. Needing some last-minute tweaking on the intro/outro which they eventually polished off in the studio. John double tracks his vocals during the verses with Paul joining on the Hold Me/Love Me as well as the songs 2 bridges: (Eight days a week, I love you) This song was slated to be the last Beatles single of 1964, only to be replaced by I Feel Fine. RNB

Top selling musicians of all time.

George Martin, the Beatles legendary producer used to nickname Paul and John's harmonies as "Honey (Paul) and Vinegar (John)". They were an amazing blend! Then when you get George into the mix, it was like a "supervoice"! I'll point you to the song "Because" by the Beatles from Abbey Road, where John, Paul and George are all harmonizing together and then this is overdubbed 3 times. It will literally raise the hair on the back of your head!!!

In 1965 Portland OR, I truly remember hearing this everywhere I went. In cars, stores, restaurants or walking down the street. It was #1 in the country and Beatlemania was in full bloom.

That would be the Shea stadium concert. I recommend that you expose yourself to every bit of Beatles video and give us your impression of every song they ever did It will take you all around the world and back home again.

One of my favorite Beatles songs. I just love all those great melody lines. They’re so catchy and so good.

What an incredible choice for a reaction! The Beatles all had varying degrees of wicked sense of humor, and you can see that in how they never took themselves or any one else seriously, for that matter, and were always "cutting up." For this song, John and Paul were riding in a cab, and they asked him if he was working hard, and the cabbie responded, "yeah man, eight days a week!" They loved it, and decide to use that line in this song. In this case, they're making the point that they're working overtime giving their love to their significant other, "Eight Days a Week." Get it?

I was rocking to it right along with you and you were cracking me up so much as you usually do because you're just so on top of things. But I actually got tears in my eyes almost I was feeling so happy by the end of it.

It was a great time to be a teenager then, glad I grew up in that time.

Apart from your eye-searing hotness, it's just so wonderful to see someone who knows all about what it's like to make music and feel it and understand it on several levels at once. It's just so fun. Appreciate you. ❤

This was august 1965-Beatles were at the top of their popularity-they just released their second film (Help) and was the first group to perform in a stadium (Shea Stadium-New York). You saw a form of Beatlemania at their concert but it was everywhere they went from the airport to the hotel where they stayed with females trying to gain access to their rooms constantly.

The term 'boy band' didn't exist at the time. However in hindsight, that term still doesn't feel right. Sure, the girls went nuts for them. I don't recall any of the boys having any problem expressing their fandom as well. No jealousy. We loved these guys. They added a whole new dimension to music as well as cultural influence.

The footage was from their concert at Shea Stadium in NYC in 1964. One of the many ways the Beatles literally changed the world and culture. Before them concerts were typically held in clubs or theaters but they were so huge that they had to find somewhere bigger to accommodate all their fans. Now days playing large arenas or stadiums is normal but they started the whole concept.

This was a huge hit! 1965. Their second visit to the U.S. They were the chart toppers at the time. So many songs those first 2 years. This was New York’s Shea Baseball stadium with 55,000+ fans! They performed in several baseball stadiums that year because they had so many fans. It was either that or do two or three concerts per city! I think they toured 10 cities that year!

I was so lucky to lived at the height of Beatlemania....Saw them live in Chicago...To this day its impossible to put the experience into words. Major hit song and my favorite from their early recordings.
