On Granada Reports, December 3, 1976: Watching The Beatles on Scene at 6.30, taped on November 25, 1963 at the same studio. Footage courtesy of YouTube.
“[Y]ou know, I went to school with Paul. He was a year older than me. I met him when I was 13 and we were together for 17 years until we split. People in America think that we got together around 1964 and split up in 1968. But from 1956 I was hanging around with Paul and, a little bit after, John.
When you’re so close, you tend to lock each other up in pigeonholes. Musically, with Ringo and John I had no problem. But with Paul, well, it reached a point when he wouldn’t let me play on sessions.
It was part of our splitting up. But at the same time I have a tendency to defend Paul — John and Ringo too — if anyone else said anything without qualification about them. After going through all that together, there must be something good about it.” - NME, December 11, 1976 (x)
Crazy days and reckless nights
Limousines and bright spotlights
We were brothers through it all
Every part of you was in your song
Now we will carry on... Never Without you
You played a beautiful melody
That keeps on haunting me
I can always feel you by my side
I know all things must pass
And only love will last
I'll always love the memory of you and me
(Ringo Starr - Never without you)
Mid-1969, Allan Klein and the Beatles are having a private meeting with Allan still trying to convince them to have him be their manager. He gets really frustrated and lashes out at one or all of them, and in an act of self defense Paul, Ringo, George, and John end up accidentally killing him. Afraid of what might happen if anyone finds out, they all agree to cover up their involvement in the crime. Their personal lives/marriages start to crumble as they’re forced to rely on each other as the only people they trust. Would like the inclusion of mclennon and George X Ringo
“There’s some little magic chemistry that happened between us, and somehow it got in the grooves of those records. And not every song we ever did was brilliant but there’s a lot of them that are just timeless, they’re great songs, and they just happen to have in the grooves that chemistry that I think seems to appeal to each generation as it comes up.” - George Harrison, Off The Record, February 1988 (x)
