Citando:
"David Chandler used a wind-up camera to record the band’s performance of ‘Paperback Writer’ when it aired and was compelled to try and find it after hearing about the discovery of a short 11-second clip of the appearance in Mexico last month. The footage lasts for 92 seconds and has been donated to Kaleidoscope, an organisation who specialise in locating missing TV footage."

Citando:
"Footage of Beatles' only Top of the Pops live show found

Footage of The Beatles' only live appearance on Top of the Pops has been discovered in an attic.


David Chandler was a teenager when he used a wind-up camera to record the performance on the long-running BBC music show in June 1966.

He dug out the 92-second clip, recorded weeks before the Fab Four's last-ever gig, after hearing about a shorter snippet found in Mexico last month."

2019-06: The "mentrification" of The Beatles?

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/may/29/mentrification-how-men-appropriated-computers-beer-and-the-beatles

Citando:
"A reply repeated the question, but in regards to the Beatles. When did the group “start to be remembered as rock legends, rather than a silly boy band teenaged girls liked?” Another user answered: “when men decided they liked them”."

Citando:
"Jimi Hendrix was never shy to hide his admiration for The Beatles and, back in 1967, the iconic guitarist took things to the next level.

The night was June 4, 1967, Hendrix was stepping out on stage for his headline show at the Saville Theatre in London and, knowing that both Paul McCartney and George Harrison were in the audience, Hendrix decided to open the show with his rendition of Sgt. Pepper‘s title song."

2019-05: Sítio do Ashram dos Beatles

... pode agora ser visitado por 7 EUR:
https://nit.pt/out-of-town/viagens/ashram-dos-beatles-na-india-esteve-abandonado-agora-atracao-turistica

Citando:
"O grupo passava a maioria do tempo nas cabanas de pedra Chaurasi Kutia, as mesmas que são agora o principal foco de atenção dos visitantes. Não se sabe muito sobre o período que lá passaram, apenas que ficaram numas instalações de luxo comparando com os restantes estudantes de meditação. O grupo terá conseguido meditar, compor e até certo ponto descansar — só que a coisa não acabou bem. Ringo Starr aguentou apenas dez dias, Paul McCartney quis voltar para Londres ao fim de menos de cinco semanas, os restantes ficaram pouco menos de dois meses e quando saíram já havia rumores de conflitos e de tensão, sobretudo com o guru Yogi, que lhes terá pedido royalties das músicas lá compostas. O grupo também foi citado a dizer que não aguentava mais a comida.

Nada disto impediu o sucesso imediato do Ashram e do próprio guru, que se tornou uma personalidade mundial.
"

A parte:

"O ano era 1968, The Beatles já eram a maior banda do mundo e “Help!”, “Revolver” e “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” tinham acabado de ser editados em anos sucessivos: 1966, 67 e 68, respetivamente. "
