The Beatles Edit

(1960-1970, United Kingdom)   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   | 

( fr ) The Beatles were a rock and pop band from Liverpool, England that formed in 1960. During their career, the group primarily consisted of John Lennon (rhythm guitar, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass guitar, vocals), George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals) and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals). Although their initial musical style was rooted in 1950s rock and roll and skiffle, the group worked with different musical genres, ranging from Tin Pan Alley to psychedelic rock. Their clothes, style and statements made them trend-setters, while their growing social awareness saw their influence extend into the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s. After the band broke up in 1970, all four members embarked upon successful solo careers. The Beatles are one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed bands in the history of popular music, selling over one billion records internationally.

News Roundup: Paul McCartney, Live Nation, James Murphy, Hold Steady
--Paul McCartney hasn't performed much lately, favoring one-off gigs instead of touring. (In April, he performed a Beatles-heavy set at Coachella). But New York fans will get a chance to see the Wings legend (kidding) when he performs July 17 and 18 at Citi Field, the Mets' new home. McCartney has a thing about baseball stadiums. The Beatles were the first to play Shea Stadium in 1965, and McCartney played at the stadium's farewell concert with Billy Joel last year. Tickets for the New York show, which will probably be too expensive for all of us, go on sale June 15.--Tickets bought during Live Nation's No Service Fee Wednesday promotion today include, well, service fees. One of them is a parking fee, which apparently does not pay for a parking space and is required even if a fan doesn't d [Read more]

“We started this whole thing,” he declares. “Once we started we realised there were other people as bored as we were and there were not many places to play, so we had to be creative in finding clubs and ballrooms to perform in. It was very 1970s. It was due for a change. We started in 1970 and before that you had to be The Beatles or the Rolling Stones to get a record contract. It took us three years to get a record deal but when we did it opened up doors for everybody in New [Read more]

The Sixties, By Jenny Diski
In truth, the only thing that is absolutely certain is that the music then was better. Yes. In the early Seventies, I remember asking people a year or two younger which of the bands coming up were going to take over from The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Pink Floyd, The Velvet Underground and The Incredible String Band. It took me years to realise that this was not going to happen. Music apart, Jenny Diski's eloquent and probing The Sixties is full of doubts and queries. This is not one of those b [Read more]
