She Is The Singer Of The Touching Version In Beatles '64

Happy November 12th everyone

what is the story behind your blogs header photo (if you know it)? i love it and it raises so many more questions than it answers😭 is that john on the ground with paul ?

ahhhhh it's one of my fave beatle photos!!

i don't know if there's a specific story to this night, it just looked really fun. it's them playing at the top ten club in hamburg. i just adore the energy of it though. the way paul and john are singing and playing to each other and just feeding off each other's delight, and it's so much fun that george and stu are also smiling just watching them. it really captures how infectious their joy for playing is. also just the rare occasion when they're not matching, so they really look like any random band, it's very humanising. paul's dressed like an IT guy! he doesn't even have a guitar at this show (i think his broke at some point in hamburg so he was on piano and drums for the rest of their time there), he's just singing! it's very informal in a way.

the composition is so great too. the presiding impression most people have of beatles shows is girls screaming, so it's really cool seeing a couple dancing and completely ignoring them (while being completely ignored back because the beatles are performing for each other). also, if i remember correctly the guy on the bottom right corner is some hamburg ganster, which is really funny. these children are performing to thugs! and having the best time!

the other pics from this night are delightful as well:

Me abusing the replay button during this momentous Mclennon moment.

Now and Then 😭 dropped.

And then back to back with Love Me Do - this song still makes me weak. John's harmonica is amazing! (eventhough he felt uncool with it in later years) for me you are the coolest musician ever!

Thank you The Beatles for the joy of music!

He’s winking at me again.

like have you ever seen john lennon and richard iii in the same room

THE BEATLES: GET BACK (2021) // George + Ringo (ep. 3)

Paul McCartney on the set for Strawberry Fields. 1967.

Guys new footage...

Paul talking about his first song »I lost my little girl«

I find it very touching how he corrects himself that he was exactly 14 and a half years old at the time, because he knows exactly when his mother died (31 October 1956), which is the sad reason he wrote it.
