Wha‐what do you remember
about that, that moment?
32
00:01:40,288 --> 00:01:41,998
Writing the song...
Yeah.
33
00:01:41,998 --> 00:01:43,499
You know,
as a kind of spin‐off,
34
00:01:43,499 --> 00:01:46,544
like a joke on the Chuck Berry
Back in the USA.
35
00:01:46,544 --> 00:01:47,545
Mm‐hmm.
36
00:01:47,545 --> 00:01:51,049
For some reason, I mean,
maybe I was showing Ringo
37
00:01:51,049 --> 00:01:52,967
what I thought
the drumming should be.
38
00:01:53,301 --> 00:01:55,136
I think, and he might've said,
"Well, you do it."
39
00:01:56,262 --> 00:01:58,723
He might've also said,
"Well, you do it."
40
00:01:59,098 --> 00:02:00,850
So you played drums on this.
I‐Yeah.
41
00:02:00,850 --> 00:02:01,726
I didn't know that.
Yeah, yeah.
42
00:02:02,310 --> 00:02:04,062
How long did you write the song
43
00:02:04,062 --> 00:02:05,813
before this was recorded,
would you say?
44
00:02:05,813 --> 00:02:07,440
It wouldn't have been that long
45
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:12,111
'cause you pretty much wrote
the thing and got in the studio.
46
00:02:12,529 --> 00:02:13,112
Um‐‐
47
00:02:13,112 --> 00:02:16,157
In the old days, when you
were doing cover songs...
Mmm.
48
00:02:16,157 --> 00:02:17,909
...you would all learn
the cover songs together,
49
00:02:17,909 --> 00:02:20,286
so you were in the habit
of learning a song quickly.
50
00:02:20,286 --> 00:02:21,120
Yeah.
51
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,121
Anyway.
That's true.
52
00:02:22,121 --> 00:02:24,541
Yeah. And we, we never rehearsed.
Yeah.
53
00:02:24,541 --> 00:02:26,626
I mean, now I rehearse
quite a bit,
54
00:02:26,626 --> 00:02:28,711
'cause you've got
a big production as well.
55
00:02:28,711 --> 00:02:30,880
But then, I remember us
sort of saying,
56
00:02:31,631 --> 00:02:33,341
you know,
we had a day's rehearsal
57
00:02:33,341 --> 00:02:35,552
and we were going
to do the next day.
58
00:02:35,552 --> 00:02:37,345
Everyone was like,
"That's enough."
59
00:02:37,762 --> 00:02:38,763
You know?
60
00:02:38,763 --> 00:02:40,765
"We've done one day,
what more do you want?"
61
00:02:41,349 --> 00:02:43,184
Before the first record, though...
Yeah.
62
00:02:43,184 --> 00:02:45,395
...how many hours
did you play together?
Yeah.
63
00:02:45,395 --> 00:02:46,312
Yeah, yeah.
64
00:02:46,312 --> 00:02:47,814
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
65
00:02:47,814 --> 00:02:49,232
At least 10,000.
66
00:02:49,566 --> 00:02:50,942
Yeah.
According to the man.
67
00:02:52,402 --> 00:02:53,945
When was the point
where it's like,
68
00:02:53,945 --> 00:02:57,156
this is different than everyone else,
in terms of popularity?
69
00:02:57,490 --> 00:03:01,452
Okay. So we'd played in Hamburg,
then we played in England,
70
00:03:01,452 --> 00:03:02,996
and we got more
and more popular,
71
00:03:02,996 --> 00:03:04,539
and I always say,
it's a good thing.
72
00:03:04,539 --> 00:03:08,001
Because, you know, a lot of kids
on these TV talent shows
73
00:03:08,001 --> 00:03:09,878
are propelled into stardom,
74
00:03:09,878 --> 00:03:12,171
and they don't know
how to deal with it.
Yeah.
75
00:03:12,171 --> 00:03:16,342
But we had this staircase
so that we would play ballrooms,
76
00:03:16,342 --> 00:03:19,137
then we played theaters,
then we'd do a bit of television,
77
00:03:19,137 --> 00:03:21,931
then we'd do a radio series,
we'd do this and this and this.
78
00:03:22,307 --> 00:03:24,017
So we were getting famous,
79
00:03:24,017 --> 00:03:26,144
and then we'd had
number‐one records,
80
00:03:26,144 --> 00:03:28,771
so I think that's when
we first started to think,
81
00:03:29,355 --> 00:03:31,816
"We're famous.
We're number one in the land."
82
00:03:31,816 --> 00:03:33,902
Hm.
But my thing was America.
83
00:03:33,902 --> 00:03:34,819
Hm.
84
00:03:34,819 --> 00:03:39,908
No British acts had gone
to America and been successful.
85
00:03:40,241 --> 00:03:41,326
They'd all come back.
86
00:03:41,701 --> 00:03:45,371
So I remember taking
Brian Epstein aside,
87
00:03:45,371 --> 00:03:46,915
saying "Brian," I said,
88
00:03:46,915 --> 00:03:48,833
"We can't go to America
89
00:03:48,833 --> 00:03:51,461
"until we've got
a number‐one record there.
90
00:03:51,461 --> 00:03:53,421
We've got to wait."
Hm.
91
00:03:53,421 --> 00:03:54,589
And we did.
92
00:03:54,964 --> 00:03:56,549
We waited and waited.
93
00:03:56,549 --> 00:04:00,136

112

We loved American music.
113
00:04:56,484 --> 00:05:00,488
It was the blues tradition,
the rock and roll tradition,
114
00:05:00,488 --> 00:05:02,073
Elvis.
Yeah.
115
00:05:02,073 --> 00:05:04,158
Everything we listened to
was American.
116
00:05:04,158 --> 00:05:06,452
Little Richard at the piano,
banging away.
117
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,496

It was a whole TV hour
on its own.
133
00:05:43,156 --> 00:05:46,367
You know, we'd go into his dressing room
before he went on,
134
00:05:46,868 --> 00:05:48,661
and just to hear his stories.
135
00:05:48,661 --> 00:05:50,663
See, you don't have to be
the top of the bill
136
00:05:50,663 --> 00:05:51,915
to climb the hill.
137
00:05:53,041 --> 00:05:56,586
See, this is not, it ain't the size
of the ship that make you seasick,
138
00:05:56,961 --> 00:05:58,796
it's the waves in the ocean.
139
00:05:59,297 --> 00:06:01,257
It ain't the man
that run the fastest,
140
00:06:01,257 --> 00:06:03,384
but the man that endure
to the end.
141
00:06:04,219 --> 00:06:07,513
So I know that if water fall
on rock long enough,
142
00:06:07,513 --> 00:06:08,389
it's to break it.
143
00:06:08,765 --> 00:06:10,642
PAUL: It was, like,
evangelical or something.
144
00:06:10,642 --> 00:06:11,184
RICK: Yeah.
145
00:06:11,184 --> 00:06:12,852
And, well, he'd gone to Australia.
146
00:06:12,852 --> 00:06:16,022
Supposed to have thrown
all his rings into the water
147
00:06:16,022 --> 00:06:19,943
and renounced, you know,
materialism or whatever.
Yes.
148
00:06:19,943 --> 00:06:22,529
So we'd ask him,
"Hey, Richard, is it true
149
00:06:22,529 --> 00:06:24,906
that, you know, you threw
all your rings away and all that?"
150
00:06:25,698 --> 00:06:26,991
And he'd tell us all, he'd say,
151
00:06:26,991 --> 00:06:29,118
(imitating Little Richard):
"Yes, child, that's true.
152
00:06:29,118 --> 00:06:30,245
I'll tell you."
153
00:06:30,245 --> 00:06:34,541
And he had this beautiful way,
Southern, Southern American way.
154
00:06:35,208 --> 00:06:38,545
(in normal voice): So yeah, we were
massively excited to come to America
155
00:06:38,962 --> 00:06:43,174
because these are the people
that we loved,
156
00:06:43,883 --> 00:06:45,760
and they were loving us.
Yeah.
157
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,264
This was like, yeah,
we've arrived. We were famous.
158
00:06:49,264 --> 00:06:50,640
Yeah.
(both laugh)
159
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,225
It's a great feeling.
Yeah.
160
00:06:52,517 --> 00:06:53,601

00:06:55,019 --> 00:06:55,812
Because you think about it,
163
00:06:55,812 --> 00:06:58,064
that's sort of what
everyone's trying to do.
164
00:06:58,064 --> 00:06:59,607
There's obviously

and that's great.
166
00:07:02,610 --> 00:07:06,865

most people want to be accepted.

You know, we'd started off with songs
which are just for the fans.
178
00:07:41,482 --> 00:07:42,150
Yeah.

Thank You Girl.
181
00:07:47,322 --> 00:07:50,158
We were writing
to our fan audience.
182
00:07:50,575 --> 00:07:52,952
But then, as things went on,
183
00:07:52,952 --> 00:07:55,705
we started to just write
for ourselves
184
00:07:55,705 --> 00:07:56,998
and figured
185
00:07:56,998 --> 00:08:00,627
that the fans would listen
to our extension
186
00:08:01,002 --> 00:08:02,837
of what we wanted to write.
187
00:08:02,837 --> 00:08:04,714
So we did, and we got
into kind of more
188
00:08:04,714 --> 00:08:06,507
sort of slightly different things.
189
00:08:06,507 --> 00:08:08,426

00:08:11,304 --> 00:08:14,849
And we used to want
to do this on stage.
192
00:08:14,849 --> 00:08:17,227

a big fan favorite.

But the harmonies are great.

00:08:23,983 --> 00:08:26,110

Tell me about albums
versus singles,
215
00:09:15,159 --> 00:09:17,620
because in modern time,
216
00:09:17,620 --> 00:09:19,622
when you put out an album,
all your singles are on that album.
217
00:09:19,622 --> 00:09:20,373
Yeah. Yeah.
218
00:09:20,373 --> 00:09:23,209
But were you guys
the first guys to do singles
219
00:09:23,209 --> 00:09:25,128
that were not part of albums?
220
00:09:25,128 --> 00:09:27,755
We had the luxury to do that.
Yeah.
221
00:09:27,755 --> 00:09:28,798
You know,
somebody's coming in,
222
00:09:28,798 --> 00:09:31,050
and they're only going
to ever have one hit.
223
00:09:31,050 --> 00:09:31,843
Yeah.
224
00:09:31,843 --> 00:09:33,386
Then that had better be
on the album.
225
00:09:33,386 --> 00:09:34,888
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know.
226
00:09:34,888 --> 00:09:37,390
But we, we were rather confident.
227
00:09:37,682 --> 00:09:39,434
Yeah.
And then the other great thing was,
228
00:09:39,434 --> 00:09:41,686
there used to be an A side
and a B side, as you know.
229
00:09:41,686 --> 00:09:42,228
Yeah.
230
00:09:42,228 --> 00:09:44,814
The B side earns
just as much money as the A side,
231
00:09:46,107 --> 00:09:49,819
so we were trying to write
good A sides, good B sides.
232
00:09:49,819 --> 00:09:50,320
Yeah.
233
00:09:50,737 --> 00:09:52,655
I remember Phil Spector
saying to us,
234
00:09:53,489 --> 00:09:55,533
"You throw away all your songs.
235
00:09:55,533 --> 00:09:57,619
"On a, on a, on a record,
236
00:09:57,619 --> 00:09:59,871
you're putting
two good songs on there."
237
00:09:59,871 --> 00:10:01,664
He said you should put the hit,
238
00:10:02,207 --> 00:10:04,959
and then the other side,
just like take the vocal off,
239
00:10:05,919 --> 00:10:07,712
and call it sing‐along‐with
240
00:10:08,254 --> 00:10:09,214
or something.
And sell it twice.
241
00:10:09,214 --> 00:10:11,382
Sell it twice.
And we said, "No, Phil.
242
00:10:11,382 --> 00:10:13,718
We can't do that."
So, because you know why?
243
00:10:13,718 --> 00:10:15,803
Because we were
recently record buyers.
244
00:10:15,803 --> 00:10:16,554
Yeah.
245
00:10:16,554 --> 00:10:18,848
And we would have felt
so cheated
246
00:10:18,848 --> 00:10:20,016
if we'd have bought that record.
247
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,477
Was it typically
an album a year?
248
00:10:22,477 --> 00:10:24,312
It was typically, it was like
an album a year,
249
00:10:24,312 --> 00:10:25,647
and four singles a year.
250
00:10:26,189 --> 00:10:28,233
An album plus
four additional singles?
251
00:10:28,233 --> 00:10:28,900
Yeah.
252
00:10:28,900 --> 00:10:30,693
The songs were varied
on each album,
253
00:10:30,693 --> 00:10:32,570
and then every album
was varied from the other.
254
00:10:32,570 --> 00:10:33,154
Yeah.
255
00:10:33,154 --> 00:10:34,697
It was like, ah, ah, ah.
256
00:10:34,697 --> 00:10:36,199
And the pace
you were working at‐‐
257
00:10:36,199 --> 00:10:36,699
Yeah.
258
00:10:36,699 --> 00:10:38,618
It'd be like, "Go down,
do the solo, then come on."
259
00:10:38,618 --> 00:10:40,036
"Yeah, okay."
260
00:10:40,036 --> 00:10:42,372

261
00:10:42,372 --> 00:10:43,414

Yeah.

00:10:49,879 --> 00:10:52,465

00:10:54,300 --> 00:10:55,260

everyone sort of started‐‐

310
00:12:30,688 --> 00:12:33,816
At one point
quite early days,
311
00:12:33,816 --> 00:12:36,402
we were supporting
Roy Orbison.

00:12:36,402 --> 00:12:36,861
Hm.

00:12:36,861 --> 00:12:39,864
I think he'd always written
his stuff,
314
00:12:39,864 --> 00:12:42,575
but a very favorite memory
of mine is,
315
00:12:42,575 --> 00:12:44,827
we were on the tour with Roy,
316
00:12:45,203 --> 00:12:47,789
and we stopped off somewhere
for a cup of tea.
317
00:12:48,289 --> 00:12:49,791
Roy stayed on the bus.
318
00:12:50,291 --> 00:12:53,920
And I remember John and I
coming back on the bus afterwards
319
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,381

RICK: Yeah.
329
00:13:15,441 --> 00:13:17,110
I'd do a little songwriting class,
330
00:13:17,110 --> 00:13:19,112
in my old school
up in Liverpool.
331
00:13:19,112 --> 00:13:22,073
And one of the things
I nearly always point out
332
00:13:22,073 --> 00:13:23,366
to the students
333
00:13:23,366 --> 00:13:26,077
is that it's good
to have an end to a song
334
00:13:26,536 --> 00:13:30,248
because you've got to let
the audience know it's finished.
335
00:13:31,207 --> 00:13:32,667
When we're on tour,
336
00:13:32,667 --> 00:13:35,211
every song
of Roy's got a big end.
337
00:13:35,211 --> 00:13:36,254
♪♪

(sing‐songy)
And always like a great big note.
340
00:13:44,554 --> 00:13:45,889
And he stopped.
Then it's like‐‐
341
00:13:45,889 --> 00:13:47,223
(imitating cheering)
342
00:13:47,223 --> 00:13:49,475
There's nowhere else to go.
You've got to clap there.
343
00:13:49,475 --> 00:13:50,393
Yeah.
344
00:13:50,393 --> 00:13:52,312
So I said, well, yeah,
I don't want you to do that.
345
00:13:52,312 --> 00:13:57,066
But think about letting
the audience know you've finished.
346
00:13:57,066 --> 00:14:01,029
So we'd pick up little tricks
like that off, off Roy.
347
00:14:01,696 --> 00:14:03,531
Remember any other moments
where you saw something
348
00:14:03,531 --> 00:14:05,909
and you just, like,

Yeah. Where did you

380

We used to go to this club
called the Bag O' Nails,

I would eventually meet Linda.

PAUL: But it was
our regular hangout.
384
00:15:27,198 --> 00:15:30,910
Because we were in groups,
you never got to go to the pub.
385
00:15:31,494 --> 00:15:33,538
When you stopped working,
the pubs are closed,
386
00:15:34,038 --> 00:15:37,000
so you had to get, like, a drink
and maybe something to eat.
387
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,918
And this club,
Bag O' Nails, was that.
388
00:15:38,918 --> 00:15:40,211
So I went down there,
389
00:15:40,545 --> 00:15:43,381
and you would just sit
in an alcove
390
00:15:43,381 --> 00:15:45,049

to records.

weren't that good.

But it was actually his son,
Julian, Julian Lennon,
471
00:19:19,347 --> 00:19:22,559
who'd been at school
and had brought back
472

a little drawing
of his school friend, Lucy.
473
00:19:26,396 --> 00:19:29,315
He'd drawn stars around her.
474
00:19:29,899 --> 00:19:33,278
And so he called them diamonds,
and this was Lucy,
475
00:19:33,278 --> 00:19:35,154
and because she was
sort of floating,
476
00:19:35,154 --> 00:19:37,240
she was Lucy in the sky
with diamonds.
477

So is this like you imagined
when John played it for you first‐‐
526
00:21:48,830 --> 00:21:49,581
Yeah.
It was like this?

just the simple version
of this, yeah.
530
00:21:56,170 --> 00:21:59,382
There was a girl there
who was called Prudence Farrow,
531
00:22:00,008 --> 00:22:02,051
and she was Mia Farrow's sister.
532

608
00:25:01,648 --> 00:25:05,235

Yeah.
610
00:25:06,819 --> 00:25:09,697

612
00:25:12,033 --> 00:25:16,996

based on... Beatles meditated,
613
00:25:16,996 --> 00:25:19,541
so I've got to learn that.
614
