The Beatles London Tour Part 1.
Roll Up for a mystery tour :-) The Beatles lived and recorded in London. In this video I visit some of those famous locations from Abbey Road, Baker Street and Marylebone Station to St Pancras Old Church and Montegu Square.

The one and only time I ever walked across that Abbey Road crossing was about 20 years ago, and I was going to do a service call at a job just round the corner. I walked across the crossing with my big toolbox and I felt vindicated that I have never had to do the 'touristy' walk across. I was actually walking over it for an actual purpose! It was a great feeling though!

I'd have to say that my favorite album is Rubber Soul. This was the first "mood" album in which the sounds they were experimented with and the lyrics of their songs grabbed me.

Once they started using the studio to create “albums” as an art form their music took on a new direction that’s for sure!

Really enjoyed your video - thank you! Few points in response - Paul still owns his home in Cavendish Avenue. Listing of the Abbey Road recording studio is a great thing but does not actually prevent alterations or demolition (simply means that formal consent is required). George and John only are mentioned on the Apple Shop EH blue plaque as they only include people who have passed away on them.

27:45 I worked for a travel agent delivering tickets & passports throughout central London. On the day of Ringo's marriage, I told the agency that I needed to set off early, so they sorted out my deliveries earlier than usual. My plan was to sit on my motorbike across from the steps on the other side of Marylebone road, to see Ringo coming down the steps. I sat there for ages. Nothing happened. No Ringo. I can only assume he left via the back, or, maybe I got the time wrong.

Another great video and like a few others have suggested. A nice and relaxing watch too. I've been meaning to devote a day or two for many years to stuff like this. We are pretty lucky London is so full of landmarks. I got around to visiting Karen Carpenter's old home where she sadly died but for me, it was the cover of the Now And Then album that got me visiting that place. You never think you would ever get a chance to visit somewhere so far away but like you, I'm really into the nostalgia of it all. I hope you make many more videos like this as they are very well put together, very informative and show things which I've not seen anyone else cover.

Another wonderful slice of Beatles history. Loved the shots of the station in particular! I remember I used to watch those Beatles films when the BBC used to air them in the mid to late 70s... this was pre VHS video recorders (although my uncle had some JVC model in 1977/78 which I remember cost about £650 or so - over £3000 in today's money) so you only saw them when they aired....

@@TudorSmith tbh it was way too expensive for him too... he lived in a council house with his mother... The exact model was probably the JVC HR3000 which was the first VHS in UK I think.. I think Bob Monkhouse was a real pioneer in the UK as he had his own professional video recording equipment at home a long time before anyone else. When he passed away they discovered a whole treasure trove of long deleted programmes. I believe Lenny Henry even managed to find his New Faces debut because of Bob.

So glad I discovered your channel! Quite enjoyable and relaxing. My band and I came to the UK in August of 2017. We did a little Beatles tour and signed the wall outside of Abbey Road. Not many people there at all. It was a late weekday afternoon. We even walked right through the gate and posed on the steps. Our guitar player even walked inside and started chatting up the staff(I was WAY too nervous to go inside). Unfortunately,the street was undergoing construction and it was causing an issue with the crosswalk in that you couldn't get into the position in which the album photo was taken if you wanted to recreate it. I walked across but felt very self conscious and "touristy" doing it.

@TudorSmith 2 жыл бұрын

As yourself, my #1 favorite is Abbey Road, always has been. And as mentioned in the comments in one your other vids, that Sgt. Pepper & Myst'ry Tour are like one album, but in two parts. And then the White LP, followed by Revolver, like goin backwards from Road. Soul, For Sale, Meet, and the least fave, Let it Be, And Submarine. But I had to buy Yesterday & Today and Beatles Again (aka Hey Jude) in order to have particular songs that were left off US releases, or were only issued as singles. (e.g.) Dr. Robert on Yesty & Tdy, I believe was a compilation LP with a couple new, but prerecorded songs. Same as Old Brown Shoe, Madonna and Hey Jules. had to purchase the-I called it Beatles Again. But LP's like that were not considered a "Studio Album" right? Jude was released in 1968? Submarine, I eventually had to get, because it had All you need, All together, Bulldog and Northern songs on it. I heard Martin's film compositions on side B once, but never again.

The ticketed event was probably the Abbey Road lectures you can go in studio 2, I've been in twice but it's like £110 a ticket but they don't allow pictures to be taken in the reception or any of the corridors there is people watching you you can go up to the control room though, another great video 👍

Re Decca and Dick Rowe. George Harrison felt so sorry for him that he tipped Dick off to sign The Rolling Stones. So they didn't do too badly after rejecting the Fabs. And the tickets for Abbey Road were for the Abbey Road Lectures, which I attended in 2018, and I spent an evening in Studio 2 with lots of old studio gear (and instruments), listening to an excellent presentation. And I got into Studio control room, and a step up inside Studio 3 too! Paul jammed with George at Ringo's wedding and also played together on the Threetles recording sessions for Real Love and Free As A Bird.

Yep that's on my list for part 2. I foolishly had many locations and thought I'd make all of them in one hit. It wasn't to be as I ran out of time. I've used info from Beatles forums, and basically the internet, and I created a google map of the locations. Link in the description of the video :-)

I first visited Abbey Road July 7th 1975 (Ringo's 35th Birthday) the studio was still named EMI STUDIOS , I still have the pics of us on the Zebra Crossing and on the staircase below the EMI Sign. The 2nd time was May 1st 1977 , when we had a chance to see a live recording of a band inside the studios, and 3rd time August 1983 when the "Beatles Show" was on during the studio multitrack conversion. I have photos of this which I will upload some day.

Great video Tudor. I don't know when you recorded this but back in August i went with my nephew to a ticketed event at Abbey Road studios which was a tour of all three studios and their control rooms. We had our photo taken on the steps before going in. I believe McCartney still has the house on Cavendish Ave, it would have been great if just as you said " nothing to see hear, let's move along " we saw Macca behind you walking out of his gates HaHa. Which is my favourite Beatles album ? - Revolver or Sgt Pepper or The White Album or Abbey Road or Rubber Soul, depending on what mood I'm in. 😊

@TudorSmith 2 жыл бұрын

I recorded it this Sunday just gone. Now you mention all of that it makes sense. Especially as the queue diminished quickly and I didn’t see the people disappear - they were obviously inside 👍 It is also quite difficult to name a favourite album as they are all so excellent so erring on the safe side with a wider selection seems a good idea to me :-) I still vote Abbey Road, and in fact, my favourite all-time song: I Want You (She's so heavy). It's such an immense tune with such great arrangments and I love the jazzy blues bit in the middle. Ringo really holds that drum beat flat to the floor with some excellent fills and fllourishes!

I don’t know much about their music so I’ll have to check them out. What I failed to mention in my video was that Brian Poole & The Tremolos auditioned the same day as the Beatles and the fact that they were london(ish) based meant that the expenses for “operating” a band would be less. We’ll never know if this was the case, or that the Beatles were under par. Might be that Pete Best was drumming. 🤷🏻‍♂️
